geezer Posted November 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 2, 2007 Lookin' great Bo! The wheels really make a difference too. Nice work. I've got to get my butt back in the garage or I'll be repeating your mantra forever...Not original and still not done.

d240zx2 Posted November 2, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 2, 2007 I think "oodles" is a bit of an understatement. You've done quite a bunch there. Looks good, too.

AndysPlit Posted November 2, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 2, 2007 Are those gauges from a 280? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26097-new-pix-of-the-car-after-oodles-of-work/#findComment-227074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, the gauges are from a 280z. I like the look of the 280z gauges better than those of a 240z, I also wanted a voltmeter instead of an ammeter. Finally, the 240z tach would not work with my EMS. I like the 'stock' look of the car and did not want to install Autometer gauges.

76Datsun280z Posted November 3, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 3, 2007 Looks great! Love the shaved intake and the clean look of the engine not to mention the car. What kind of figures are you putting out for horsepower, how many pounds of boost are you running?

ktm Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted November 3, 2007 I am running 15 lbs and putting down 289 ft-lbs at the wheels on a Mustang dyno. You can figure another 10% to 15% on a Dynojet (which most folks run), so 319ish ft-lbs or so on a Dynojet. I still have a bit of tuning to do though.
