Hey I know everyone is always looking for some type of different engine to put I their Z = LS1, RB20/5/6, or 2JZGTE, etc. well has anyone ever heard of the Ford Barra engine? It's a turbocharged inline 6 that puts out north of 300 horsepower. https://www.google.com/amp/www.caranddriver.com/amp/reviews/ford-falcon-xr6-turbo-specialty-file Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

fantastic! Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

that must have been an insanely fast car for that time! Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I would be open to offers for my '75 280z. looks like the ad was taken down before I could see it was $8500 the asking price? I'll take $7000 for mine. 99% rust free. no body damage, runs, new brake components, and blah blah blah Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

that's a good site. can you post a pic of your car? I've been thinking of adding 17's to my 280z Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

where can we find pics of your car? what's the offset of the wheels F/R? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

are there videos of these races? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

well that sucks Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

do the exhaust systems really sit as low as it looks in the video? In the video, the muffler looks like it hangs quite far below the bumper Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'd like to hear the reason for the crusher heading also Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

you have this car? what information do you have that backs up the story behind the car, other than it being green? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

you may want to double-check with the rule book authorities. They may have something in place for the 280z already, and if you go based on dimensions from forum members, you might have to re-engineer the bumper/splitter to fit the proper guidelines for that race circuit Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

are there model year exempt changes in the works? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

very useful info Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have noticed that it is hard to find a running '75 for sale in California. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have a '75. It started with a piece of printer paper to get initial shape, then moved to cardboard to get things tighter to the shape it should be, then finally to some aluminum flat stock and some gasket maker. left the studs in place in case the egr needs to be reinstalled at a later date. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

what size cap did you use? it would be nice to know, so whomever it is doing this next will have that cap ready to go during removal. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I just found the intake hissing leak. An egr delete was added, but has a bad seal. a little JBWeld should fix this. Crisis averted! I did in fact install all of the gaskets and head bolts properly....WhooHoo!! Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

looks cool but doesn't look real. rear axle would have to be super high to for the wheel bolt holes Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

another member on here helped with my no alternator power issue on my '75 280z: turned out my alternator was not wired properly (wires were in the wrong spots) Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

good idea. I'll try that pump without starting and report back with my findings. As for the injector seals, I changed those all out a while ago when I put in replacement injectors. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I didn't remove the injectors when I removed the intake manifold. I kept everything intact as possible. I haven't taken it out of the garage since the manifolds were reinstalled. but it starts and idles fine. just has a hissing sound. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile
