Hello, I've been around many forums and have many posts so dont worry, I am trained to search!

I have an 82 280zx Turbo 2+2

Lee (xtreme2) has been doing some work on it for me since he's not doing the school thing right now and I'm doing 17 hours plus fulltime work! So don't be fooled into the lie that it's his!

So I just wanted to introduce myself, and if anyone has an extra power steering reservoir cover/cap I'll take it off your hands for you!

Here are some pics:

Mods are:
K&N drop in replacement air filter
2.5" stainless turboback exhaust to the flange, then 2.5" piping to 3" borla muffler
Push button start
Mazda Miata seats
Removed rear seats and interior of rear
APC steering wheel (came already on the car)

Need to put in:
Autometer boost gauge
Autometer A/F gauge
Greddy electronic boost controller
Fiberglassing dash

Short term future plans:
Intercooler
Wastegate washer mod
Shortthrow shifter
Port matched exhaust manifold
Enginebay vaccum cleanup
Powdercoat Valve cover
New carpet
TOKICO HP SHOCKS & SPRINGS
Remove a/c
Get NGK wires and plugs
MSD ignition
Optima battery

And the engine is a lot better then the body! Sure it's got rust but damn the engine runs good. Went from Paul's Valley, OK to Tulsa,OK (160+ miles one way) in 95F weather with no problems what so ever. Shoot even the stock stereo works (sometimes)!

 

Welcome. you should put this in the 280ZX section. this is just the lounge, where we fart around. I am a 2+2 owner myself.

welcome....enjoy your stay

 

This type of thread actually belongs in The Lounge, since it's not Tech-related, so he did good. Welcome, Daniel!

 

It's a turbo! Wahoo!

 

Thank you!

Wouldn't have it any other way! This is actually the 2nd Zcar i've owner, first was an 85 300zx n/a. Biggest mistake in my life. Complete rust bucket and didnt run right. After I got rid of it, the guy took it in to be looked at and found out the timing was advanced so far it was about to blow up the engine!

 

that turbo Z needs some serious bodywork... but at least it runs good!
welcome to Zdriver.com

I also have a 2+2 turbo

oh, and my 1988 Pulsar needed a power steering res cap, I grabbed an extra 280ZX cap and it fit perfect. I would bet you can get a generic cap at an auto parts store or grab one from most any Nissan from the 80's or early 90's.

 

i tried the caps from auto stores, they dont work. My buddy and I are going to be starting the body work soon
