Not to budge into his thread, but I also need a panel for my 81 zx. o.O

I ordered the same thing chino, great buy.

That is some sick work... I would love to have one of those, despite the price. =/ I'm going to check out some mods, thanks for the links.

aww, wheres the fun in planes huh? They don't even serve food anymore! =P

Well, im getting ported and headers/exhaust.. was just curious on the intake situation.. as for automatic? i'm getting rid of that as soon as I can get ahold of a manual trans. =[ I'm just aiming for a daily driver with some go, nothing tooo serious... I'm just going to stick to EFI, thanks for the help guys. =]

So we should get a band of z's to travel down there and hitup shows and stuff.. I mean... how cool would it be to see a line of like 10 z's going down a highway? :sick:

I smell one, i'm down if you are, haha. TO FLORIDA!

Nice information, im going to do that when I get my car. ;o

Thank you, I think i'll be browsing around here for an hour or two checking out and getting some ideas... I want to go carb, but don't know... What do you think of going 4 barrel with secondaries?

I wanted to get this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-Datsun-280ZX-Engine-and-Transmission_W0QQitemZ130135994432QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130135994432 But considering I wouldn't be able to get down to florida in time... That would give me a Really nice chance to go through that motor and trans while I could still drive my current Z, and once all is said and done just have to drop it in. *shrugs* Anyone live in florida? xD

Well.. I am picking up my Z on the 6th because I had to leave it out in Texas... So I get to drive it back home 1200 miles without power steering and AC, I'm not looking forward for that, haha. I will say this though, atleast I get to do it in a Z, not some honda or something... :stupid: Unless I can get ahold of those two pulleys before I go down there. =P

No serious mods quite yet, but what would be some good bang for the buck upgrades for my ole 81 280zx? I'm going to be a lame and say that i'd love to go out all with this car, but can't unfortunately unless gas prices decide to drop a few dollars, haha.. So mileage is a concern.. So I should say Performance/price/mileage ratio... annoying. I know thats pretty broad considering all the different kinds of mods/parts/tweaks but anything with atleast 18mpg would be great, and any types of tips and suggestions would also be very helpful. I don't know very much about these cars, but I have been reading topics and posts for the past week or so... so hopefully i'll know this car inside out in due time. Thanks guys.

A few of the interior parts can be changed over I believe.. what color interior does that 300 have? =P

Oh definetly, now I'm debating what path performance wise I want to go... For going Non turbo what would you say some good bang for the buck would be? I know im getting port and polish , intake, and exhaust... I seen a few 240sx throttlebody kits but haven't seen anything mentioned of it on here.. is it a crap mod? freaking MAF on my 280 is annoying me. :laugh:

I will! and thanks. ;D

Heeey, im 19 and was originally a big computer nerd. After looking around for a long time trying to find a decent car, I saw a bronze Z sitting by a little house out in the country... ( has a good eye for vehicle recognization ) Finally I decided to just waltz up there and ask them if they wanted to sell it.. and to my luck, they said yes. I went there two days later with 700 dollars in my hand and left there driving a z.. best 700 dollars I have ever spent i'd say. I have always wanted an old Z, I remember seeing them in video games and in magazines and such and wanted one, I never thought i'd ever get one though. =] As for the specs on the car.. She has 100k miles, runs and drives just fine, needed a new Master cylinder and Power booster, got some surface rust patches on the rear quarter panel on each side, right by the window edge.. a sick spot i'd say, and has pretty nasty interior.. well.. its tan.. and I hate taaaan. The stuff I did was radiator flush, trans flush, oil change, new spark plugs, wires.. etc. new ignition coil, new 02 sensor.. and since the air box was screwed up I just got a cone filter for like 15 bucks. L28 non turbo 2+2 1981ZX 3 speed auto. ( Wish it was manual ) i'll get some pictures up soon, and hopefully you guys can help me with and/or give me some good ideas and what I should do with this beast. Thanks
