bad shocks?

hoov100

Sounds like a stock s130 to me! going with a hard set of shocks, makes a world of difference in the handling department with everything else stock.

Struts people... struts....

And it's the common weak SPRING on the strut making the common 280zx squat. Eibach / Mercedes 300D springs FTW!

My Z would bottom out when I got it. I don't think the struts or springs had ever been changed in the 29 years it's been on the road.

BlueKitsune

I dont think I bottomed out the rear yet. but I have before on the front. lol

lol. is that trucker posing? lol.

and friday i was at a sick party. got wasted somehow in 2 hours. haha. ****in polish people. i blame them. my buddies girl poured me him and 3 other people a shot in a solo cup of gentlmans jack. it was WAY more than a shot. then i looked to see her drop that same .75 liter bottle she just opened on the ground... on full bottle poured between 5 people!!! that i think is what did it for me. haha.

also, they found 10 people scattered passed out throught the house, and 2 on the patio lol. one was in a lawn chair until it stormed haha. guess that woke him up.

Now Fubar is REALLY doing something crazy!!!

skib

triple manifold, LD manifold, and SU's with Z32(?) throttle bodys, hmmmmmmm

BlueKitsune

Think 10.33 compression ratio is to much for an F45 L28?

skib

what else are you running? what fuel are you planning on running?


but its doable yes

FubarI33t

Those T/B's are from a werid brand car. can't remember what one. but i pulled them at a u pull it. i just found one that will bolt up with little to no modd's. The two lower holes will have to be wobbled out slightly, but will not run into the throttle bore. And if i get my hands on a HKS, or a crappy Cartech intake. I will deff do turbo triple.

BlueKitsune

Aftermarket EFI on Premium fuel.

I'm just gathering info on my next motor build.

skib

you on Ratsun blue?


Im building a high CR L28 for my SCCA FP car.

Ill be running an F54/E31 with OEM "dome top" pistons should be about 10.1 to 1 or 10.2 to 1

skib

check out these pistons, there Nissan OEM but never available in the US

BlueKitsune

No Im not on ratsun. tho apparently I should be lol

And interesting... I dont think they work in the newer L28 heads tho.

And I've just been kinda daydreaming about getting another Z and building another motor for ***** and giggles

FubarI33t

even with a turbo triple. I'll never part with that LD manafold. Took me to many years to get one. and this one has almost no miles on it. factory bolts still have there color to them

skib

if you pop over there shoot me a PM and we can talk high CR L28's

its easier there since I dont wonder over here to often


why do you think they wouldnt work on newer L28 heads?

they all have 44/35 valves and the smallest chamber is only 44.6 (my E31 is 42.4)
and the highest cam lift with a stock L28 head is 248/248 (L26 E88 comes with 256/256)


lol Ill be running the E31 with the larger 44/35 valves and a burly *** cam

BlueKitsune

Well it looks like it would come up past the desk height and smashed into the head, but I'm not taking into account the gasket so maybe it will work
