Turbo Exhuast

Anyone know if the make a kit for exhaust on an 83 turbo?


I've looked and can't seem to find one, also I have a new down pipe to put on with it because some dumbass broke one of the bolts, which caused a BAD exhaust leak......

Also I see the missed spelled exhAust thank you!

MSA makes one for the S30. I'm sure a slight tweeking would get it to fit in the S130.... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PR...15/15-6037-8-9



How "broke off" is the stud in your downpipe? If there is anything left to grab, heat it up w/ a rosebud tipped oxy acetylene torch & loosen it w/ some vice grips.

ohh your looking for a downpipe. I bought that exact downpipe and no it doesnt fit the 280zx Turbo. I just had to do some tweaking and now it fits perfect. If your looking for a performance downpipe that bolts on I might be selling mine.

It would be more cost & time effective to have a good exhaust shop fab up a complete exhaust for you. I had an exhaust shop buddy do a downpipe back complete exhaust for $270. 2.5" inch w/ performance cat & muffler. I later welded flanges on my cat so I can remove it.

Ben assures me I should get my ecu today.

A member here said he'd help. Might get started on project upgrade today!

Bone stock for now. Car looks like it has never had a wrench turned on it. Po kept a complete maintence log. Unmolested for now.

That would be the cat "test pipe" the other parts are for connecting up the rear half of the exhaust system and muffler using the coupling system used in the downpipe and converter "test pipe".
