machine shop/ebay/msa. they all have pistons that will work, just depends on what your exact setup is going to be. your choices are endless.

Uhhh... what's an L28dt? I assume you meant "et"? Why a "remote" turbo? What stand alone ECU are you thinking of using?

What are you going to specialize in at your AIT?

Hey... Who'd you buy that Z from ArmyZX? I've seen it before... I think the owner even came around ZDriver every once in a while.

I recognize the Klearz side & turn signal lights.

Looks EXACTLY like another 280zx... to the T (rear hatch spoiler, Klearz light covers, front air dam)... it's the twilight zone!

Ah... nope... here's the car I was thinking about and he lives in IL. On a side note, you should probably resize your sig pic.... huge ones get annoying quickly.

If you go with SDS I can send you brackets for the crank sensor. I made 5 sets when I did my setup. (Still in progress) (again)
