Default My 83 280zx turbo

Sup guys,

I'm Chris, good friend of Nick's (Midnight11). We've known each other since 7th grade lol. Anywho, not a mustang owner, have high respects for them, especially the new 5.0s

Figured I'd join and help spread the word of the forum and bullshit with a bunch of car guys!

This is my 83 280zx turbo i've had for almost 5 years, and have the same problem you guys do which is investing in a rolling money pit lol.











I got it bone stock and unmolested but neglected from a car collector, so far its got quite a few goodies.

Engine: 2.8L inline 6 turbo
*Compression ratio bumped up from 7.4:1 to 8.3:1 with a head swap
*Z31 watercooled T3 (ported turbine housing)
*Full stand alone Megasquirt II v3.0 that i built myself component by component, fully programmable via laptop mounted to my dash
*NXS Manual boost controller set at 12psi
*Greddy Type S Blow off valve
*DNA Motoring Front mount intercooler
*CX Racing SR20 radiator
*Walbro 255lph fuel pump
*Apexi 3" Turboback exhaust
*Flowmonster 3" test pipe
*N42 non webbed non egr intake manifold
*Custom ram air intake
*Exedy Stage 2 Clutch kit
*Suspension Techniques 1" sway bars
*Energy suspension poly bushings all the way around
*Eibach pro 2" lowering kit (springs are way too soft)
*Tokico Blue HP shocks
*Honda Integra (DC5) seats

Future mods:
440cc injectors
T3/T4 garrett turbo w/ Turbonetics External wastegate
Water/meth kit
Wilwood 4 pot big brake kit up front
300zx Z32 rear calipers
XXR 16x8 wheels

Lemme know what you guys think!!
