Jabo's 280z (updated 01/11/2010)

Post by Jabo »

Thought it was time I put my car on this site too

so for those that dont know I have a 1983 280z which is priddy much standard, it just had the engine rebuilt before I got it converted to carby. I just repainted it and did a tan interior swap. I still a have a list of impovements to make including building a turbo L28 for it

I was gona put Pics hare but it would appear my hosting site is down watch this space

White is sooo much better than "throbbing purple".

Looking good and great to see a zed on the road. There are a heap of simple mods you can do to eek out more ponies of a L gata engine. Head work is where most of the power gains are. Might be cheaper than going turbo. Just a thought. Have a look at http://www.datsunzgarage.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
