I am in a large pickle

So for starters im new to the forum, but i just bought a 1990 300zx na. Motor was toast, so got the car for 500$, and bought a tt motor and tranny and did the swap in my drive way. I bought intercoolers, because thats the only thing it didnt come with, but the damn things didnt come with piping. Im having a hard time finding piping for this car. Its been 2 months since the swap and all i wanna do is just drive my freaking car!!! Its my first Z as well. Any Ideas?

You can get universal IC piping "kits" on ebay with a punch of different pipe pieces in them. Just figure out what bends and stuff your going to need and order accordingly.

do you think the dealer would have such a part? or is the car to old for them to carry that type of part?

You could always pick up the phone and call your local Nissan dealer... I suspect after hearing the price, you will want to use an aftermarket kit (I'm sure if you do a quick search you will find someone selling one).

hum... I found these in about 10 seconds:

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/h...9-p-30222.html

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/perf...er_Piping_Kits

http://www.turbohoses.com/300ZXTT.htm

Just make sure those are for the stock setup & not for a FMIC.

I just typed in "300zx intercooler pipes" into www.google.com and got many results.

Front Mount Intercooler.

SMIC = Side Mount Intercooler (the ones for your 300ZXTT).
