    Just wanted to make a quick update on where I’m at with my Z. Symptoms Currently it turns on immediately but has a rough idle that hovers around 500rpm and wants to die but doesn’t. Engine gets more stable when applying throttle. The car still currently lacks power when accelerating, hitting a...

    I guess I got a few things to run through on this post 1) How do I know which AFM I need for a 1981 280zx Turbo? there are so many parts numbers to these AFMs that I’m getting lost tbh. On Nissan parts deal it’s just listed as “22680-P9000” and other websites use other specific numbers such as...

    Just wondering if my ecu has a problem or not. The led on the bottom of the ECU doesn't turn on whatsoever. Not on initial start up, not when it reaches operating temperature, nothing. I know it's supposed to blink to indicate a few things but mine is just off. Does that mean anything?

    Alright so my car has a real rough idle and I’ve had technicians look at it to see what could be the problem. First off, I wanna say that the engine has been rebuilt and there are no vacuum leaks. Distributor cap, wires and rotor are new. Timing has been set. New fuel, fuel filter, injectors...

    So I’ve got an 81’ 280zx turbo and I can’t figure out why it’s got a rough idle. It idles just fine on a cold start but as soon as the engine gets warm the oil pressure drops to near 0 and the idle gets rough. I recently had an engine rebuild/overhaul along with its timing and distributor...

    My motor is completely stock, I need to replace the broken turbo and it seems like a waste to just put in another oem one when I was planning on upgrading it in the future anyways. I am wondering if it’s possible to run a bigger/better turbo right now and put in the supporting mods later. I’m...

    So I have a 1982 280zx turbo I bought a couple months ago. Guy said it was locked up and I bought it that way hoping it was just rusted as it had sat for a long time. Anyways I’ve been trying to bust it loose since I’ve had it but today I looked down at the crank from the top of the timing chain...

    I just picked up a 79' 280zx and i was planning to turbo it. My question is can i fit my N47 head ( i believe that's the head it has) with a turbo camshaft out of a P90 head? i assumed not, but I'm having trouble sourcing a P90 head to use. Any guidance would be great!

    Having trouble starting a 1982 280zx I recently bought. I got it close to starting after getting a remanufactured starter & ignition coil, but as soon as the coil was thrown in & I tried starting it, the green relay behind the battery blew (I saw the smoke come from there so I assumed it was...

    Hello everybody, I´m looking for a five-gear manual gearbox for my 280ZX Targa. What I found is a gearbox for a 280ZX turbo and I´d like to know, if this one is equivalent to the one of the "normal" 280ZX. I would be very glad, if anybody can help me with this! Thank you and have a nice day...
