    The Formal Intro to my 280z...

    I just got my 78 280ZT at the end of January 05' and have been doing some slight upgrades to it as I am still trying to sell my Rolla.

    What she's got done so far...
    Intercooled T4 turbo setup (currently running 7-12psi well mannered, depending on my mood)
    Stock injectors (I dunno why these were never upgraded before me...they hate boost)
    Turbonetics wastegate
    Bored 0.020 over
    Crane Cam
    P&P major engine components
    3 angle valve job
    60mm TB
    MSD 6-btm ignition
    Dial a boost controller
    Adjustable FPR
    Polished Valve Cover w/ high temp gray paint in the middle on top
    3" mandrel bent exhaust w/ Magnaflow muffler
    Riken rims (16x7s) w/ 205/45ZR bridgestone potenzas
    AutoPower Rollbar w/ custom cross bar
    Custom Short shifter
    Red/Black racing seats
    5-point Crow Racing Harnesses
    Swapped shift knobs cuz the Datsun emblem popped out, i glued it back in, but didnt like the rubber knob, so upgraded to a nice "Z" logo'd leather knob.

    Mods in the making or for future...
    Custom Projector HID Headlights (waiting 4 sean2sean...he is lagging majorly)
    Pallnet 11mm O-ring Fuel Rail (Ordered)
    Supra 440cc fuel injectors (Have ready to install)
    Better Fuel Management (Looking)
    Tokico Struts/Springs (buying this month...May)
    Classic Spoiler
    Better Turbo Upgrade
    Forged internals
    BOV, not diggin the flutter
    Body Kit (bought...need to pick up)
    and some other things TBA

    Here's a few pics of my new pride and joy...tell me what u think.

    no, not yet, I'm waiting for a couple of upgrades and a nice performance tune job first. I have some 440cc fuel injectors waiting, ordering a billet fuel rail, and an engine management system and then tuning it for performance, then we'll talk track.

    I just picked up my red/black racing seats! Hope to put them in real soon.

    Wow dude! Madly impressed with that car. When I was a kid, I used to love the Z cars especially the 280 and 300 fair lady. What an awesome vintage car. Lot of props to the person who kept in such a great shape and the mods are great too.

    I got the seats in the car tonight w/ some help of some fellow Z owner from my car club...1st time I met them tonight at a last minute setup BBQ and they wanted to help me put the bad boys in, we had to drill new holes for the brackets and the seats were a tight fit, but the guys were huge help, thats what I call a car club...hadnt even met them yet and willing to lend a hand and do the job for me! I will post some pics tomorrow evening hopefully.

    Wow that thing is SWEET! I saw one on the road once here in Newark and almost had an accident trying to figure out what it was. Keep us updated on mod progress and post PICS!
