with a stock turbo.. at 12 psi... and a well tuned fuel management and bigger injectors you can anywhere from 270rwhp to 300rwhp. A new turbo can get ya push ya even further. Don't get me wrong about the 280ZXT ECU it's a good ECU, but if you want some power, and reliable fuel management with diff injectors and a turbo, i would definatly go for a standalone setup. MegaSquirt is about $300, but has to be built from scratch and requires a laptop and SDS is about $1,500 can can be tuned without a laptop which is an advantage. The Z31 turbo ECU can also be configured to work with the L28 with proven horspower bumps. Your compression sounds good... the majority of the newer cars coming out with turbo's are about 8.5:1 and yours is a bit lower.. so it'll work out! the T-5 tranny is always a plus... and alot of fun.. but isn't necessary unless you want some huge HP and torque numbers. Then the T5 will step in to handle the power.

*sigh* a high compression turbo L28 motor will not hurt the motor. However.. and intercooler is recommended to prevent detonation. If your looking for high horspower figure's... stay away from high compression. The only advantage is quicker throttle response and more low end torque. However, if you compare an L28 turbo motor with low compression, and a high compression turbo motor, at the SAME boost levels, the low compression with produce more horsepower and torque and get better fuel consumption all the way around. Also with high compression i've read that you need a higher octane fuel for the car to run as smooth as a low compression. With a proper setup, and an intercooler, you should be able to push around 12psi safely without blowing a head gasket, or other vital engine parts. Electronic's wise... ditch a ZXT ECU.. and go for a standalone setup like MegaSquirt, SDS or even an Z31 turbo ECU. Plenty of information can be found at http://hybridz.org But i plan on using my N47 block and head and putting making it a turbo.. with a t3/t04e hyrbid turbocharger, and SDS fuel managment with the MSD 6al controlling my ignition.. and some 440cc Toyota Supra turbo injectors and an Izuzu or Spearco intercooler. it'll be interesting

OMG! I want your iron cross wheels! I bought a set from a junkyard, and tried to polish them up.. and they look terrible... really really terrible! Man.. if only you could ship! I remember seeing your picture, and wanting to "copy" your wheels and polish em up! Aww... would you consider shipping at all>?!?!

what does progressive mean?

um.. what's a calender clock?

Just bring in a picture of a ZXR to a local vinyl shop and they will make it look almost identical!

Dreco.. NICE CAR! What kinda seats do you have in that beauty? The first vid.. Window's wasnt able to render.. but the 2nd vid worked great! Good job!

keep in mind that the lighter.. racing ones... will bend and dent on normal road use... and that wouldn't bee so fun at almost $250 a wheel!

hmm sounds good! I really wanted to go 16x7 with a 0 offset... but i have heard alot of reviews about the 15's.... and that 16's were too big.. and cause tire rubbing... and blah blah blah but they look soo good on Z's! Steve.. what size do you have on your car.. soo sexy! Looks like i'll be getting some gunmetal 15x7's with a 0 offset and a polished lip! yummy!

There's a reason why the chassis and body of almost all F1 cars and Ferrari's are pure carbon fiber! Stronger than metal.. and lighter than metal.. especially fiberglass! Very strong stuff... and very light... it can dent in.. but pops back out.. just the paint needs to be redone and maybe the resin.. if the dent actually cracked the C/F.

so can I order Panasports with any offset I want? I thought they came in just a certain offset.. ?! Man if i can choose my offset.. whooaaa yay! I love the deep dish look.. ohh sexy. If so would it cost extra?

.. thanks guys! Hey does anyone think Gunmetal would look good on an Orange car like mine.. or should I go silver?

I found some Watanabe pics.. but just doesn't do the justice! Panasport i want!

Hey, just had a quick request... anyone have pictures of gunmetal panasports for their Z? I am looking into buying a set for christmas.. and i can't decide between the silver, or the gunmetal with the polished lip! I searched the gallery and no luck!

me too! I can't wait! There is a HUGE thread i started a while back about opinions on headlight covers.. got tons of responses

Check this site out... full of TONS of info about fusible links http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html

... true true.... I will never forget what happened with that one... ohh man! That was a mess! I'll keep the Z in the driveway.. thank ya very much :stupid: :dead:

My poor Z! Suffering the snow and salt and NOOO!!! Poo... oh well.. i'll have fun driving it! Sideways! hehe

Ground Control has them available and so does Modern-Motorsports

man oh man.. I would soo trade.. if that stroker engine was in it.. or if it was turbo!

Has anyone ever seen this? a DATSUN "car-shield" ?! I found it in an Antique Classic Car showroom, hanging on the wall, and I asked if it was for sale, and they said they have no idea. So I asked how much they would want for it... I payed $1.00 ! hahaha.... Anyway, would this be worth anything? I guess it bolts onto the front grill, for looks or something. Anyone seen it before?

BTW wingnut, i sent ya an e-mail with pictures

it's soo small and cute! I just got mine in the maiL!

I have them on my 1978.. and I use 3M double sided tape... works great!
