If you want to get rid of the EGR you can fab a top block off plate easily. Just trace the egr solenoid on a piece of metal and then use some tin snips. you can then use a thin piece of cardboard to act as a gasket. As for the headers just use a brass plug.
1982 280zx egr block off plate for intake top and bottom
I cannot find my original line from the stock exhaust manifold to intake manifold (male on exhaust side and female on intake side). I noticed 5 years ago (yes a very long time ago...) that the tube was not going to match up with the motorsports header I had bought. I planned on cutting off ends and rebending and flaring new tubing to fit header. Now cannot find #$%^ pipe! Anyways I remember reading on the forum about someone who sells the blockoff kit/plates. Anyone know where, contact info, cost? I'm close to starting the beast but need to fix this. I do know I can buy a replacement line from Motorsports but it is $53.40 and I'd still have to cut off the ends and still fabricate. Any other options?
Thanks,

wife found, go figure... I think I'll block off as suggested. Do I have to do anything to the bottom of intake where the male threads are? Cap or is it okay open?
Standard Pipe Plug will screw in there and plug it up nice and tight.
I replaced mine with 1/2 x 0.035" T304L Stainless Tubing and Swagelok Fittings. Still functioning fine. The tube is big to prevent clogging over 200K miles of use. You can get by with a considerably smaller one, if you take the time to make it easily removable and clean it every couple of years (though I've not noticed it carboning up...)
