I wanted to double check with u guys before i buy this.
i am correct to assume that this fits my 1980zx nonturbo perfectly right using the same gaskets i use now and no mods at all. this is already dewebbed and no egr so i really like it. And how much do you guys thing i should pay for it the starting bid is $115 but i have no clue what these puppies go for.

^^^ That's a P82, not an N42. Notice how that P82 gets skinny after runners 4, 5, and 6? The N42 and turbo manifolds don't get skinny like that.

Indeed N42's go for a lot these days, but it's not worth swapping intakes just so you can say you have an N42 on a completely stock NA motor.

Nismo! lol wait are we looking at the same auction?

this is not a p82?? well i know i have a p82 on mine right now cuz like you said it gets a lot skinnier at the end. but im pretty sure the one in auction is a n42 or im completly blind and not seeing something lol.

well what im thinking is i have stock motor now and since im rebulding everything! i was thinking if i do go turbo later on the line ill already have the manifold for it. thats why im debating if getting it now already.
so far is still at $115 with no bids on it but you know how these things go ast 10 mins prob a bunch of people jump in lol

Maybe I should have used quotes, but these arrows were pointing to Tonsoffun's post (did you click on HIS link? )

oh i was gona say im not that retarded lol.
yeah i read up on his link pretty much confirms what i thought the 75 intake from the older 280z does fit my 280zx like a glove even using the same gasket, and if i go turbo etc i should port it to 60mm. i knew ther was 3 dif intake manifolds between all these 240,280 and 280zx. For going turbo if i do go for it in the future other than a fully custom manifold the next best thing is the n42.

i knew we wer not looking at the same link cuz u are rarely wrong on this stuff lol.

thanx that pretty much lead me to another link and then another and i found all the info plus more lol
