Several days ago I posted a question about a certain West Coast supplier and received a number of replies stating why I should not do business with them. I am in the process of building an F54 turbo motor and will be spending several thousand dollars on internal parts and engine management system. Please recommend other parts suppliers who can help me. Thanks for your input, mayolives.

Checked compression and there are 4 cylinders at 160 psi, and 2 at 60 psi. Any tips for that? is that worthy of a more expensive engine re-build or can i do a cheap individual rebuild?

Was just given a 1982 280ZX that has been sitting for 20 years. The body is rusted beyond repair, but the engine only has 36,000 miles on it. This is the engine I would like to put in my 1970 Z (without the fuel injection). What should I do before running the engine?

Supposedly the motor in the Z I bought has the L28 block and L24 head. I was wondering what the figures would be on that setup, like comp ratio and HP/TQ, common problems stuff like that. The car doesn't run right now, it's been sitting for a while, I think the carbs are just clogged up and nasty but who knows. Any info on this set up is greatly appreciated

Ok, I tried to take off the egr on my 77 280z(stock efi) and the 2 bolts holding it snapped. Now i Have The spacer that sits between the egr and the manifold is stuck on there. I tried to pry it off with no luck. Any suggestions anyone? If the bolts were fine i'd jus cap it off from there but the bolts are pretty rusted and need to come off. I need to get it off so that i can cap it. Its either that or i get the manifold cut and rewelded to get rid of the egr.

Hello Zpeople. I'm a recent 240Z owner, this baby has 40,000 miles on a rebuilt L28 engine with stock SU'S (rounded top) and automatic transmision. Can it be possible to match the performance of a L28 engine with standard transmision and EFI? My previuos Z was a '77 2+2 280 with std. tranny EFI, all stock. That car realy kick butt. The things that I don't like is the long body and big bumpers. Right now the L28 engine with SU'S in my 240z is way behind the performance that I loved of the 77 280z. What can I do to get better results.

So I need to acquire both a new full exhaust, and a new set of headers, as both of mine have little holes in them right below the floorboards...smelly. I have a 5/72 240z with the original engine, and my question is as follows. Is there any setup I can use on both my L24 and then transfer to an L28ET when I swap? I'm trying to get everything working fine and smooth/stylish on the car as it is now before I swap in the 5spd and L28ET. On that note, I'm trying to avoid custom work, too...$$$!
