280ZX Exhaust

I have to replace my back box since it has some holes in it. Would you recommend a factor replacement or is there something else which is better?

The motorsport exhaust from thezstore.com is a pretty good one to get. Upgrades to 2.5 inch exhaust and sounds great. Got a good power gain from it too. Especially if you pair it with a header.

Are the exhaust tip of LHD 280zX on the right side of the vehicle?

depends on what year you have, early ones (79-81) had a crossover right at the very back of the car and had it exit out the right side, '82-'83 exited on the left side.

I got a 1979 RHD 2+2 non turbo model, and have to be clear about that if buying any parts from the US.

No kidding? I've got an 81 Rhd fairlady Z 2 seater! Check out my album dude! Some of the parts are the same but it depends on what motor you have. Do you have the L20A?

I got the standard L28 motor on mine, this is it: http://ryn004.deviantart.com/art/197...view-194715268

Yours has a lot of potential, but way loads of time and money to get ti right ... really interested on the way it turns out. PS: Don't you dare sell those wheels, they're classic!

Very slick man. Mine has the L20A but I wanna swap for an L28et or an L20 turbo. That's not gonna happen for at least 5 years. I want to finish with my 280zx first. Non running right now.
