turboHLS30 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nice, I'm 17 and just finished my Junior year in high school. I'm just starting my L28et swap into my '75 280z. Any plans with the motor/suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhunter Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 S4 in the garage?? Very nice job so far! Edit.... What city are you near? Thanks neotech! I am out of Auburn, Washington. The car in the garage is actually a 1995.5 S6 wagon that we just got done installing a much bigger gt30 turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhunter Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Nice, I'm 17 and just finished my Junior year in high school. I'm just starting my L28et swap into my '75 280z. Any plans with the motor/suspension? Very cool!! Nothing beats a Z for a first car, eh? As far as an engine goes, I have been debating many possibilities. L28et would be soo easy and cheap for the power that i want, but nothing beats the sound of a good old nostalgic N/A L-series. Instead of turning my car into a huge money pit, I will invest in the car later on. For suspension, I have been researching the use of s13 coilovers and other possibilities other than Ground control. It'd be nice to have all of the camber capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OniZ Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Nice job with your Z, it reminds me of mine when I got it minus the excessive amount of bondo and rust I got lucky on that one. It's amazing what paint car do to a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kali Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 More pics: Are those wheeles going to make the turning radius clearance and proper spaceing with the stock suspension or are you going to change the suspension out? Im not to far either for now, ft lewis, my 3.1L L28ET is out in Everett at Z sport racing for installing my base tune for my MS ECU, hopefully by the end of the week she should be running. Hope to see you on the road soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhunter Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I think I need to update this more often.-__- SO! Not much is different since the last pics besides the fact that the wheels are actually on the car. Oh! Flares have also moved in. I'm still waiting on a time to go fetch some welting from the local VW shop to stick behind them. As of the past week, I have faced a dilemma on what is next.. Do I want exhaust? Should I get seats that actually HAVE a headrest? Should I lower this bastard like it really needs to be? Should I give it the paint job it deserves? If so, what color? The decisions never stop and I can only do so little being an part-time employed 17 year old... For the future power plant, I have also reached a dead end. This is because in one corner of the garage, sits a nice'n purdy L28 accompanied by a 5 speed that seems to give me the puppy eyes every time I walk into the garage. BUT, in the complete opposite corner, a mint 5.0 HO out of an '89 sits with its T5 partner. I feel like the l28 is the angel in one shoulder, and the v8 is the Devil on the other.. How much work is really involved in the v8 swap? I should point out that the v8 is fuel injected. All in all, what would you guys prefer? Show before Go? Or visa-versa? I think it's time for pictures, yes? Wheels are XXR 527, 17x8.25 & 17x9.75. Rear tires are 245/45 and fronts are 215/45 Sits much too high in the rear. Good friend's bagged Thing driving with me to a show. Edited August 5, 2011 by Zhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightRider Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Do the V8, if you're gonna do it go big. You can always just drive slower and pretend it's an inline 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wanting to witness a L28ET in action. Edited October 11, 2011 by Zhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two80z4me Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Hey, I live up in Mukilteo, My L28et/Megasquirt is 99% done, I'll trololol down after my diffs welded and we can go for a ride! Good luck with highschool, ladies love the z. I graduated last year though. Also, L28ET will get you there in a hurry, no need to dive straight into a 5.0 which is a bit of a ***** to swap. I've seen the build before, its not pretty. Edited December 26, 2011 by Two80z4me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
