Hi Mark:
I'm looking for an 82 or 83 donor car (cheap) to swap the turbo into my 73. I live in Sacramento, CA. Where are you and could we work out a deal?

Eric

 

the 83 i have is a turbo the 82 is not i live in the bakersfield area and prob could get them to you cheap by truck let me know what you want to do and how much is cheap?are you looking just fo the motor or the whole car? Thanks Mark

 

Hi Mark:
I am looking for the turbo mtor and everyhing that goes with it, ie, fuel pump, ECU, wiring harness, turbo, AFM, etc. I don't need the whole car, but it would be optimal so I can see, hear and test the engine. Btw, how many miles on the turbo? I want to put the motor and related parts into my 73 240z.
Depending on the milage, I planned to spend between $500 - $1000 for a motor and accessories. What's your take on this?

Eric

 

i would let everthing go for 1500 the rear end is probably worth 600$r200 limited slip came stock in 83 on turbo mod's i want to sell the whole car as a parts car doner its all there to convert i just paid 110$ fo a turbo distrubtor?.What trans are you going to run?it matters alot.if you want to run a 5speed or 4speed and not run the auto thats in it right now you are in foe some probs.Any one else would like to send sug Please.A 1500 for the whole care you got it all and i WILL NOT PULL IT OF FOR 1500 you take the car and do it your self-)) the car parted ot will bring 3000 to 3500 turbo works and is all there Thanks Mark

 

Hi Mark:
Unless you have a swapped differential, your zxt has the stock 3.545 R200 (not LSD). Limited slip was not offered until 04/87 on turbos. I already have everything (including an 83 5-speed and a 3.7 LSD) for my car except the turbo motor, wiring, and stuff to complete the motor swap.

How many miles on the motor? I need to know in order to make a decision. Is the car running now, and where is it located? Arizona? Will it make the trip to Sacramento? If the motor is in good shape, would you run a compression check on it?

Please let me know, its' a long drive to Arizona.

Eric
