The official post whore thread..
The L28ET swap really isn't that hard, it really is pretty simple, but the hardest part is they throw pictures at you and then say connect this wire to this. The 81-83 harnesses are all different. The 82-83 harnesses have more differences from the 81, but the 82 & 83 are slightly different as well.
As for the Z31 swap it would be nice, but shouldn't be that big of a deal. I couldn't seem to find my Fuel Pump Modulator, but I believe you don't need it when you do the Z31 swap? I totally disconnected it and am not sure what I did with it after I removed the harness from my ZXT. Now the FPM is quite possibly gone with the old body, I don't know if that will cause an issue or not.
On another note, earlier I went and test drove an 04' RX-8 GT w/ 6-speed manual in Velocity Red. That's a cool car, I'm kinda considering it, but I'm hoping that tomorrow I finally get to go test drive an STi. I'm really beginning to consider going Subaru. I keep seeing people say that they're very reliable. I also see the Legacy 2.5GT has a turbo motor and some luxury to it, so I may check that out.

get an EVO. that's what i'd get if i had the money. also, the turbo swap i s EASY. and nismoprick you got some stuff you can remove from that harness still. and why is there to relays? only need the one plugged into the harness
Relay #2 is the fuel pump relay
Gotta have both... if you want it to run.
I take it not many people are fond of a better S30 turbo efi how-to? I guess that's less time I need to spend on the project.
So I'm going to buy a digital camera and was wondering what you guys recommend. I want a small and sleek camera that I can carry around easily where I please. Anyways my price range is anything around $200. Any help is much appreciated
umm, messy.
ahh i'll never forget the lack of plants down there, spending x-mas in el crapo this year, aughta be great except it might snow there and it hardly snows here for x-mas....which is odd because thats desert texas and i'm in southern oregon next to a ski resport practicly.

The 280z's fuel pump relay wiring is part of the ecu / efi harness. When removed for the L28ET wiring harness, the only thing left is the actual relay. Since the L28ET fuel pump relay is on the passenger side, and the 280z one is on the drivers side, it would seem easier to just use the L28ET one than run a bunch of wires under the dash to get the same result.

I'm thinking of selling all my cars (280ZX, 280Z, And my Chevy truck) Then buy a Single good Z (not sure what one yet) Or Datsun pickup.
Hmm.... Dunno what to get if I do decide to do this. If I get a Z it has to be nearly rust free one. Or a good condition turbo. hmm....
