he probably bought a BMW

 

it's in GA, it has little ruse rebuilt motor and turbo by nissan, has new paint from 4 years ago, 5 speed, I'm going to ask more about it from him

 

haha the bimmer I want is 5500.... way out of my budget,
and this car is like 2000

 

What model? I'll sell you my 92 E36 for $4k. I'm going after an 01 E39.

 

tell me about it,

I hope this guy hasnt sold it already

 

hey here is a question..... it may sound ricer
I'm new to turbos.. can I get the wastegate noise?
will it hurt anything?

 

I think you are talking about the WHOOOSH noise? That's from a BOV (blow off valve) and you can't have that noise, unless you have a turbocharger.

 

the one I'm looking at now has a turbo (stock)
$2000 rebult motor and turbo from nissan
5 spd, pretty nice

 

Turbo from Nissan? Are you talking about a 280zx turbo?

 

yes sir' 83 280zx turbo
the motor and turbo were rebuilt by a dealer with 14000 miles on them

 

Ah. Cool. Sounds like a better deal than than the first.

Yes, you can get that sound with a 280zx turbo. Just install a BOV. More importantly, you should probably understand what a BOV does.

 

I think I have a good idea of what it does,

I'm just praying that that guy hasnt sold it,
if he hasnt I'm off on a road trip

 

Good luck to you and when you get it lets get some pics for the car...

 

new to turbos? or new to cars? here i thought you were more mechanically inclined talking motor swaps and all... now (and dont take this as bashing or to condescending) i think you should stick with a stock turbo car and add as you learn. remember, you should always understand how something works and what it does before you plan to install it.

 

oh I know alot about the mechanics with cars,
I just have always been around N/A cars, ya know?

I know how they work but I dont know everything about them

 

Well if you decide to stay with an N/A, stroke it. I heard that a stroked L28 sounds nice. I might do it one day. Ya know after school.

 

I'll think about that, thats not a bad idea

 

stroking the L28 engine is a lot of machine work and a lot of money. Its not a good idea.

 

i really hate you, what do the hell do you think i meant by hard test drive... your doing the same s**t you were accusing me of doing yesterday...

i guess i should have said moderately brisk yet non agressive test drive for your ***** ***

 

drive it around in circles in the dealership's front lawn!

 

hahaha big news guys
is there anyone in atlanta?
I found the 83 280zx turbo down there but I live 4+ hours away I was wondering if they could text drive it for me

but anyways this car for 2000 has no front carpet, has rebuilt motor+turbo 14k miles on them, 240k original miles,
the dash is now dim you can only see it at night, runs great he says
it shutters when you first start it up

tell me what you think

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/907174836.html <-- link to it

 

lol lol i angered the little dude. going by strictly what you said dude, your basic words point to, drive it and try to break something, if it doesnt then its good! yeah thats pretty aweful advice. also not sure i know mike on here has a buddy in atlanta with a zx he is also a member so maybe he will volunteer but other wise might have to do some phone haggling and take a long long drive to see it.

 

well does mikes buddy have a account on here?

 

thxone is mike's account, i cant remember his buddies account so i say pm him and ask. actually, i think his buddy is something like jb280zx or something. i can remember for sure so just look for thxone in the post ***** thread he posts alot in there and ask if his buddy lives in atlanta and would have free time to check out a z for you

 

awsome thanks
