Originally from California

Has some rust in the normal Z spots, but still a solid car. Battery tray area looks good. Dash is cracked, just like most Z's. Back seat was removed, but could be reupholstered and reinstalled.

I've had this car since I was 15 and did the turbo conversion myself. Lots of power, lots of fun, but I have no time for it anymore.

Yeah, it's still for sale although I've drained the gas out of it for winter.

It has a 3.54 R200, it was running pretty well although I have pulled out the injectors to be cleaned this winter. I have no idea how much power it makes since I've never had it on the dyno.

Rockers behind the doors, a few spots in the frame rails, a few bubbles behind the passenger side rear wheel arch. Battery tray is solid, floors are solid.

This car is for sale again.

Recent additions included a professionally cleaned and coated fuel tank and professionally cleaned and tested injectors. They said the injectors are in great shape for their age.

just curious,

did you only use the AFM from the 300, or did u also have to use the ECU, wiring harness? etc...

i use the later 280zx turbo AFM with n/a internals on my 280 zed.

Bon
