'77 280 Z Staying Hot
that where the problem is more the obvious to be. first thing to check would be your radiator while the car is running to see if your water pump is working and your getting flow. then check the thermostat, make sure your fan is working, while your at it and it doesnt hurt do a flush and fill after you have verified all parts are good and in working order.

p90/A ?
it seems that a few of the p90a head were with mechanical lifters. while most were with the hydraulic lifters. the reason for this is unknown to me anyway

Headers
but they dont look like they would benefit you in racing especially with the uneven design length of the tubes. if your on a budjet then maybe but i would go with something else. personally i like these headers here http://zdatsun.com/racing_header.html

galvanized metal
as 2 many said your going to ruin the structual integrity of the vehicle plus with rivets guess what you just created another spot for rust to form. i agree with 2 many 100% if your doing floor work frame work weld weld weld:cross-eye

Will this work?
why would you spend the time and waste the money to make a turbo engine out of a non turbo????? its is so much easier to just get the turbo motor and go from there. it is also more then just popping on a head and or changing this and that. to do so honestly would be a waste especially since the turbo motors are plentiful. just my .02:ermm:

Guess the engine
because this is the yellow 75 i believe 280Z that was on ebay a little while back witht he 2JZ toyota supra turbo motor, custom stainless header, 6 speed, all made to fit the Z in outher words an almost untouchable Z that can be daily driven and kick most any other car on the streets arse:love:

new to datsuns

what did it come off of a F350ROFL

new to datsuns
and they really arent all that. i had a 74 260V8 that would do 12.95 in the quarter, but it just wasnt a real Z. i dont know how to explain it but i have had more fun a a inlinerZ then i ever did in the V8 Z. actually you could go with a ZXT turbo motor and it would be easier, then with the V8 convert and have the same if not more power. not saying the V8 Z isnt a bad idea, just that its not all that and well, its just old technology. go with something more updated. my .02

I need a psychiatrist!!!!!!
its like this, if the car is for sale for 11 big ones, im expecting to see a perfect rust free car. for 11k it has to be perfect. good paint, good interior, no problems and not needing nothing. thats what i would expect from an 11k car. im sorry but if there is any sort of descrepencies, then oh well see ya. ill put it to you this way, the last car i bought was a 71 from los angeles. cost of the car was 2800 dollars. this is what i found wrong with the car. small amount of surface rust under the battery tray, under the passenger seat there was a bit of rust, and the springs and struts needed to be replaced. that was it. it did have some small dings in the car but i planned on repainting it anway. the undercarriage was so clean and so free of rust that taking out the 4 speed for the five speed was a dream, nothing stuck together or anything. nothing rusted. what a pleasure. what im saying is finding Z's for a lot less isnt that hard. i found a great Z that i let go and shouldnt have. basically what im saying is the cars that you are looking at are priced really high and the quality of the car should reflect the price. its just the way i look at it but if i have the money to afford an 11k Z it best be perfect. if you were willing to travel you could do much better on the west side then the east side and the money you save can go to upgrades, paint change or the like, making it what you want it to be. just my .02
