just introducing myself :]
 

As the name says, I have a 280zx and my name is brandon. Located in jacksonville FL. Mod list in the sig.
I just found this site and have been posting at hybridz for a while now under the name "b__sosick".
Anyone going to SEZ in GA? I'm expecting mid to high 13's, depending on how many shifts I don't miss! ^_^

Anywho, nice to meet you all. :]

Welcome.. Looks like you are going to have my setup soon.. LOL.. what WHP are you looking to get ??

Welcome bro! I think I remember ya from Cardomain... :icon_pidu:

I'm expecting at the absolute least 275 whp/300+ ft/lbs of torque with the 60mm tb, t3/t4, exhaust, and intercooler, at stock boost.

Hi nismo I think I might remember you also. I've since gotten rid of my two old beater zxs (the silver and gold ones) and have my red turbo zx now.

I'm making a new cardomain currently and will have it up soon. =)

Welcome to ZDriver :)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Same goes for me too, welcome to the zdriver forum bro' :) Hope you stick around, because you can learn a lot on here. I know I have, and people on here, are verry supportive. Unless you step on them, LOL. :icon_pidu: Anyway keep us up to date on your Turbo project.:cool:

Zdriver.com is the best Z site ever! Congratulations on finding us! :D :D

Just saying hi

Welcome aboard! :icon_pidu:

Rod.

I demand a 10% cut on your advertising pay.. :D

I thought I told you never to mention that advertising pay! :o

I'm just happy to see that all the new people aren't A$$holes :rolleyes: Seems like a few of those have been joining lately. Cant say it's really been in the S130 forum though :icon_super:

no kidding. we've had a few noobs go psycho on us mods and admins over nothing.

Everytime a noob mouths off they should get an inactive ban me button under their name. If they mouth off again then the ban me button gets activated. Then if they mouth off again somebody can click on the ban me button and they're outta here. If you make it through your probabtionary period of 20 posts without ticking off a mod then you get the ban me button permanently removed. Exceopt for SHADY. Cause he likes his Ban Me button :D

ban me buttons FTW!!!

Booo. You guys totally crapped on my thread. Hahaha. At least I got to 2 pages. ^_^


-edit-
Here's a link to my photobucket. Lots of pics of current and formerly owned z's..

Keep in mind. This is very much a WORK IN PROGRESS/ (what z isn't?) and I haven't even begun body work!

Welcome to the 280zx forum :D Get used to it. It'll happen again. And again. And again. If this were HybridZ we'd all be banned by now :rolleyes:

I tried you pic link and nada. It didn't work. "Page Not Found"

Nope, linkie no workie

broken link!!?!?!?!? BAN HIM!!!!!!:icon_axe:




......lol :D.......

welcome to ZDriver. :icon_pidu:

Well crap if I know why it isn't working. Try searching for "jaxcarshow05" in the search box @ photobucket.cim. Sorryyyyy!. And again. Thanks for all the warm welcomes :)

The Search thing worked.

A lot of custom work. I think I've seen both the brown and red one somewhere before.

Well both are stock and in jacksonville, FL.
I've never seen a car like my turbo one. I've never even seen another with a pantera hatch. I'm going to fill in all the corny looking holes in the hood and the hatch.

ya those Pantera hatchs are rare. Not many were purchased and I had only seen the 280ZX type in Japan. (pictures) ...there were 240Z style hatches like that sold here in the US for a while. I want to see it! :D

Yeah I was referring to pics. Probably something somebody linked to or something. I remember that hood on the red one though. And you cant miss that hatch on the other one ;) .

Cool cool... Any links to pics of other z's with pantera hatches? Maybe I should make some molds of mne?

Also, as you can tell I'm like... Minimally concerned with body work. I'm pretty focused on the performance element right now. Prettiness comes last!

Hey, Welcome to the forums. That Pantera hatch on your Z is pretty awesome. As you've already seen. No one ever stays on topic, but again. Welcome to a really cool place.

I caught that when you made your introduction post in the performance and technical section :D

finally got to a computer
 

haha. good point. the only person to really complain about it is my girlfriend. maybe i should dump her and just spend more money on my z! xD

btw pics

NGK v power plugs, aeromotive fuel pressure regulator,turbo xs blowoff valve, and a "scarab zx" valve cover (i've only seen one in my entire life!)

sounds like a plan.:D nice recaros btw.

Thanks...believe it or not I'm thinking about getting rid of them. Leather+fl= BURN YOUR ASS UP !!!

yeah i hear ya on that any where in the south or the desert like where i'm from leather is a bad thing.. Either you are sweating your @$$ off or sticking to it!!!:wasted:

hahaha. i'm glad i'm not all alone in this,...thinking about getting some z32 seats. :]]]

skittle, got any pics of your z? I really love the look of a flat black z and plan on painting mine flat black. and maybe keeping it that way!

Haha I'm late to the party as usual, but welcome to the boards and nice ZX. I haven't seen that bodykit before except the rear hatch. Looks like a good base to start tuning from, good luck with the project!

thanks again!

oh man..gas is up to 255 a gallon...for regular!!! needless to say my wallet hurts :[

anywho, today i got a new shifter from an 81, and a couple new body pieces that were either messed up or missing.
and soon, an msd 6al ignition box.

Hey Welcome, Nice Z Almost Corvette Like. Never Seen That Stuff Before. Dont Let My All Caps Bug You!!!:111:

Dude, that body kit makes me want to grow my beard out for about 3 day's, dig my old white linen sport coat out of hibernation, put it on with some white Levi's and shoes with no socks then go cruising around Miami looking for bad guys! :) .

Seriously though... it looks good.

Rod.

Hahaha. Thanks man. I do get quite a lot of looks. I can't wait to finish up body work and get her painted....
