that's a dealership install package... not factory, but an aftermarket accessory to match factory

Cutting springs are dangerous and can cause your car to loose control easily. Just buy some shorter springs or coilovers from MSA.

they have some FM modulators where instead of it transmitting it over the air, I can directly connect my antenna to the FM modulator.. that might be good quality. I'll see how it sounds.. and if it's really bad... guess I have to figure something else out.

I already have a security system in my Z With an ignition kill switch when armed What I want to do is mount the LCD in the glove box. How I would do this is mount it INSIDE of the glove box, so when I open up the glove box, as it folds down, so does the LCD. (just like some of those cars with extra guages or engine computers) So from the outside and inside it looks all stock, until you fold down the glove box and BAM! There's a 7" LCD screen Everything I do in my car I try to make it stealthy and not obvious. For example my secuirty system came with these BIG arse stickers to let people know. I just put on 2 small little stickers above the door locks to say I have Alpine security and I have a blinking bright BLUE LED light to warm em off. Also with all of my audio stuff, I cover it up with a black towel every day so people can't see it, and I don't have a single sticker so no one knows I have it. I try to be stealthy.

Let me know of your opinions on this setup... should I mount an LCD in the dash board or glove box? or should I do a sunvisor LCD screen? or should I mount it ontop of the dash above the guages? NOTE: I will not have 3 monitors.. just a basic idea

I know that most of you guys probably don't have a video system in your Z especially a 240Z or 280Z and even a 280ZX.. but I figured hell, maybe I would be one of the first... I am currently working on a video setup for my 280Z and instead of spending $1,500 on a motorized flip up in dash DVD setup.. I am building my own setup using a widescreen 7" LCD screen and a mini DVD player underneath my seat. In order for the DVD player to send the Audio OUT signal to my CD player, the only way is if I had a AUDIO IN jack or input. This meant that I had to get a NEW CD player or headunit untill I came across something.... an FM Modulator.. pretty much what you do is plus in the the AUDIO OUT wires into the FM modulator which has an AUDIO IN RCA input. What this does is create's a signal and transmits the information over a radio frequency like at 88.7 MHz or 88.7 FM. This means that I can turn on my normal radio and turn to the radio station and I can listen to my DVD or whatever. So now the guys with the original tape tecks can have a CD player plus a DVD player play through the radio This total setup costs exactly $264.97 compared to a $1,500 indash setup. Also the DVD player can play DVD's, CD's, MP3's, VCD's, SVCD's and my favorite... this DVD player has a BUILT IN TV TUNER So I can actually watch TV on the LCD screen and through my speakers.. imagine watching the Simpsons while waiting for someone at a store or in a long line of drive through take out. So when I put everything together my electronics and gadgets in my car consists of : Kenwood Excelon Headunit (CD player) 4 - 4" inch Alpine Speakers 3 - 10" inch MtX Subwoofers MtX amplifier 650 watts Legacy LCD 7" widescreen moniter mini DVD player XBOX Kinda neat in a little Z

You still haven't sold that 240Z??? it's such a beautiful car... it located right here in my state.... man I wish I had the money. But good luck on selling the car Try eBay yet?

aRCH-Z.. you have by far.. the sexiest Z i have ever seen in my life... everything you have done to that car... I wanted exactly for my Z... and the steering wheel is freakn awsome! The RB engine swap.. the sound system.. the seats... the body.. ohhh man... I love your car

Edit yeh i know about the years from MSA.. but why wont it fit onto a 280Z exactly..? Or can it fit?

I am interested in a BRE front spock for my car.. but I noticed that every car I have seen with one on is a 240Z. Since the front lower valence of the stock 280Z is longer and lower to the ground, and the 240Z's were shorter and had the turn signal's in the valence.. how would it fit on a 280Z? (NOTE : the 240Z center valence, right corner valence and left corner valence are shorter and smaller than the 280Z ) Will it fit onto a 280Z smoothly?! Thanks

check with a company by the name of BBS... they make the wheels for Nissan Skyline's as well as BMW's and high end luxary cars... BBS ...

the 3 piece spolier's are soo hard to come by now a day's.. simply because no one makes them anymore! I don't know the name of the company... but I do know that BRE makes a rear spoiler just like the 432R but it's a one piece rather than a 3 piece. Do a quick search on this site and see what you can find.

hmm... $2,000... sounds reasonable with all the stuff it comes with.. but then again someone is gonna have to get the engine working properly... sweet car though! If it was a bit cheaper I would buy it and ship it to Colorado.. hmm Only bad part is .. no title!

Z's never had a stock spoiler except in Japan and the 432R versions of the Z.. and some FairLady's if I recall.

hmmm.... both cars have had GREAT sucess in the rally world.... the 510 is probably in my opinion a better candidate because of the parts.. and the smaller engine. The 240Z had a larger engine and usually had to go into a different class but the 510 has less than a 2.0L engine so it can compete in a more generalized compact class. Boy.. I don't know.. I have always wanted to build my 280Z up to a full blown Rally car.. but... I would say the 510.

Chloe works for MidWest Z not too intense restoration

He said the compression was 90 psi on all cylinders.... isn't that really LOW for a turbo engine? I thought it was supposed to be between 130-150 ish right?

Hey guys... I did do a search but not much help... what is a good price for a 1982 Turbo engine from a 280ZXT with 96,000 miles and a rebuilt turbo? I have been able to find one, but I wan unsure of the price... this is for EVERYTHING for the install including the ECU and the harness'es etc. The engine I have found he wants $630 I have seen sites with write-ups and previous installations where they bought a good engine for $200 - $300 miles.... but I am not sure... I also tried eBay and the classifieds to get an idea.. but I was just curious BTW I know this is more a classic Z car and classic engine site.. but I really love turbo's and are soo easy to add power... help!

damn.. i wish I lived in Ausi

THe answer to your question is yes... But they will be a very very tight fit, because the seats are soo wide.. and you need to modify the brackets of both seats to get them to fit. But most will say.. they are too wide to fit... only because the fit is too tight.

Well people argue that 2.5" exhuast is perfect for a Z.... but here is my conclusion about my research on Z's... For mainly stock or light modifications the 2.25" exhuast is ideal. For modified or medium modifications the 2.5" exhuast is perfect. For TURBO or highly modified Z's the 3" exhaust is even better. Here is a baseline 240Z.... Dyno chart 1971 L24 stock bottom end, approx. 150K miles E88 cylinder head, fresh valve job, shaved 0.025 inches. Otherwise stock. MSD 6AL ignition, Pertronix Ignitor, MSD 8mm wires Stock Rebuilt Distributor - stock advance curve. Stock SU carb.'s, N-27 needles This is how much more HP you get from Rebello or Nismo headers *Almost nothing but a cool sound This is for a 2.5" exhuast compared to a 3.0" exhuast and finally.... an AIR CLEANER will actually improve your peak HP!

Yeh.. i was originally going to replace my big 280Z crash bumpers.. but if you look at some of the pictures... the bumper indeed protected alot of the front end. With a smaller bumper the hood would have been damaged, as well as the hood hinges, and I guarantee the frame would have been bent, or at least the radiator support. My bumpers don't bug me... so i'll keep em on. They do work.. that's all I care about

Hey! I'm only 18 years old... 2 years is a long long time... sorta.... Yeh it was alot of dough.. but that was when I first got my license and I loved music... and they fullfilled my desire. Next mods? WHo knows... Turbo ZXT motor :devious: ? 5-speed tranny swap? Suspension? Interior? Wheels? Eh... money money money
