and you said i couldnt beat a 350Z
hehe today was my bday and i went to the track to have a little fun. i thought that my ZXT was faster then what i was but im still satisfied with the results nonetheless. my first run though i had a great for first timer RT, the 1/4 time was horrible here the stats of the first run. R/T ... .978 60 ... 2.671 330 ... 6.556 1/8 ... 9.636 1000 ... 12.263 1/4 ... 14.503 MPH ... 97.09 Best run out of 4 R/T ... .708 60 ... 2.112 330 ... 5.899 1/8 ... 8.901 1000 ... 11.508 1/4 ... 13.549 MPH ... 101.90 as i kept going i kept getting better. launching with a turbo is definetly hard. i got beat by a cobra, that ran 13 flat, beat a newer camaro that beat me once, and beat a 78 camaro. im happy i think i did pretty good for my first time. this is all stock motor and injectors, 15#'s of boost, 944 ic, all stock driveline. some bigger injectors and a little more boost and im going to the low low 13's, maybe 12's:devious:

E31 vs. P90 on a 280z Short Block
though the P90 will flow a little better, then main thing of it is with the P90 you will have to shave about .080 off the head, then of course shim the cam towers to maintian valve train geometry

How much should a good tune cost?
you want to pay me, ill let you buy your own parts. seriously though like others said this is the easiest thing you can do to your car. parts wont be that expensive, its easy to tune and do most of the work yourself with a basic set of hand tools. save money and time and buy the video from Ztherapy.com it will show you in detail step by step on how to tune your su's changing the plugs, new wires, filters and and fuel and oil, oil change, belts, cap, rotor, points if you have them are all extremely easy even for the novice on a Z. learn about your own car learn to work on it yourself and in that you will be doing yourself a favor as you will be education yourself in your own vehicle. you will save money time and if you need help we are here. 25mpg is easy to obtain in a Z thats stock.

Fuel Injection conversion?
are the 75 and 76 280Z tank, no other tank will fit. it is kind of stuffed in there as well. something else you will have to do is change the fuel lines as well. its pretty easy concidering all you would have to do is the same anyone that has done a turbo conversion has already done. search some other sites for turbo conversions and you will find all the information you need to do this
-
Don't read if you don't want to look at a 280ZX
so you know there is no snobbery here. it would be good for the rear and for the engine conversion for your Z, but honestly with all that rust i would pass on it for anything else. it isnt worth a whole lot considering all the rust repair that needs to be done which would seriously outweigh the low mileage. if he wants more then 2-500 then pass.

p90a head on l24 block?
I dont know why or where people think the P90a is a bad head, if you think so then I think you may want to talk to jeff priddy. He is making at last dyno 458 horses to the REAR WHEELS with the P90a head. So if its not a good head then I guess something must be wrong here huh. The P90a is a good head, its quiet and nothing is wrong with the hydraulic lifters. No adjusting, quiet and they CAN BE REBUILT!!! Go with it and make what you want. I say its a good choice!

woo hoo ic is installed!! pics are here
they way it mounts on the porsche is a 180 of the way i have it. and on the top which would be the bottom on the porshce there is a plate that mounts to a sub frame underneath. what i did was use a ss steel plate coming from the bumper and bolt it to that. so the two mounts that you see arent the only thing holding it on. i dont think i did to bad, it can always be better but hey. 2many you are right though, i think it was not wanting to wait and being a bit lazy with it that made me take the easy route. NEVER again I tell you

woo hoo ic is installed!! pics are here
now im no professional and im far from being the best at anything, but i think i did a hell of better job on my ic install then that shop did with theyre work. me thinks it looks nice what do you guys think. i still have to get it all welded but its hooked up and running for now. i also have to get my bov welded on, i wasnt cocky enough to try that one.

How to tell if springs are bad
you will get a sag in the car the only way to really test the springs is to do what gramercyjam posted. someone else said new strust shocks will help. that isnt true, a strut shock does not hold up a car. it only helps the spring dampen itself. shocks struts do nothing for lifting the vehicle. if that were true sinch i can compress a strut or shock i could hold up a car. see my point

Suspension Done - Lingering Issues
the springs were so bad that when i put on msa's lowering springs which lower the car 1 inch i actually gained 2 inches in hieght. i believe the springs on my 71 i had were factory stock . as to your rear toe proplem, there is a plastic disc, the they place behind the brake assembly to adjust toe and camber on a car that didnt have it to begin with and also has drum brakes. i cant see why they couldnt use that to adjust the rear toe. it is hard and tedious work though.

heres some pics of the toyota brake upgrade i sell
the price for that kit is 275 + shipping for the stock rotor 126.00 i gave up on trying to find a reliable source for the spacers. ive seen many people sell them on ebay, and jskinnovations.com he makes and sells them as well. rotors are new bendix rotors, brakes are new remans with bendix semi-mettalic brakes all hardware is included with the calipers. what will you need to make this work for the stock rotor conversion, removing and or cutting the dust sheild, making a new hard line to the caliper or bending your existing one. for the 300ZX vented upgrade, .5 inch spacer, longers bolts to bold it up and the same as the above. hows that mr 2manyZ's
