kelltainer Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I bought this for 500 bucks running! I have to fix the dash which im doing this next week, I'm going to sand it down and then take it to new braunfels texas to get it rhino linored* for 50-75 bucks and then throw it back on there. then Its time to save to do something to it I dont know what route im going to take yet. If i sell my other Z then ill have enough to start doing something lol Im thinking of boosting it or doing a v8 swap. I liek the turbo part cause I love boost! adn then when the engine blows build it but we shall see. any ideas would be great but im really looking foreward to restoring this baby! O and I put the six spoke Z wheels on it as well. Edited March 18, 2010 by kelltainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelltainer Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) yea the slick tops look much nicer. I would love to RB swap it however I do not know how to weld....so the price for the swap goes way up. Thankyou! I thought it was a great deal!

Daniel280zx Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Very Nice! I have the exact same car and its been my daily for 4 years now and i look forward to driving errrrrday =) But yah if i were you first thing would be suspension work. I have the tokico shock and lowering spring set up and they are very nice. Also, i installed the Technotoytuning adjustable tension rods and they made a world of difference on how the feels under moderate and heavy breaking. for about $225 very well worth it.

PurePontiacKid Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 ^what! do you still have to use a rear sump oil pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelltainer Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) umm wow! Yea That informataion just completely made my night. I know what Im saving up for now =D Thanks for the information on the suspension I think I'll go with that advice =D and +1 on wanting to know about the rear sump oil pan Edited March 20, 2010 by kelltainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluezx Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yeah, very interested in this also. How about motor set back and shifter placement ect. in s130 chassis with this combo? Nice find on the slick top. Mine's a 79' I'm turboing but rb25det is looking like a great way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yes you still need the rear sump pan, or covert the existing one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelltainer Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 that still doesnt sound too bad though. I wish there was a write up for more s130 swaps on here with these engines. Maybe ill have to make one =D. It all depends on the swap i choose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
