Cold air induction for non turbo 280ZX

[jaeger83]

Ones in Motorsport and "British" catalogues go for over $100. Ones on Ebay are rediculously cheap even after shipping. Is quality or design that much different on Ebay ones? Would appreciate any comments on experiences with either Motorsport, etc. or the Ebay ones. Thanks guys, Mark

I've never seen one that I liked. The tube on any kit I've seen for them never seems to be long enough to mount the filter in the center of the car. Seems that a lot more thought is put into the design for the FWD cars and the later cars than for the 280z/280zx. We discussed that in a thread a while back. If I could find a 70mm aluminum elbow, I'd make my own. Still looking.

The unit on my 81 is made of PVC. Works great. Looks great.

This dude is the guy that sold me mine. It really works great and is made of quality material. Never had any problems and I've had it for almost a year now. He also uses a pic from my car in the ad. :cheeky: pics of mine installed are in the link in my sig. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-280ZX-280Z-N-T-COLD-AIR-INTAKE-1975-1983_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQitemZ8055368408QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Like I said, the tube is too short. In my opinion the filter should be more toward the center of the car. JMO.
