Skib Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Skib, your car is lookin good. I like the two tone color, you need to take a day time pic. Where did you get your drivers seat? How much? thanks man, lol its dirty from driving like 700miles and being covered in snow. i got the seat brand new from someone i knew for $60, iv seen em go from $150-$200 new tho. not a sparco or recaro but its makes my harness functional and its not uncomfortable.

datzenmike Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 finally got the gas tank dropped and getting ready to put the 280z tank in. and got my new radiator since the old one took a crap on me Just wonderin'. Would the high pressure 280 pump not fit into the 240 tank? Or was it an external pump? Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Should be an external pump...but the 280 is already set up for return line and stuff...I would guess anyway. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 the reason for the tank swap is the 280z tank has baffleing in it for the EFI and the 240z tank dosent, with EFI theres not fuel ready to go like you have with the float bowls so if i had the EFI and the stock tank id get no gas and the motor would cut out around hard corners because of the gas all sloshing to one side of the tank.

agentalpha Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) No prob, Sir. GLAD to help ya out! I have a couple of nice stock turbo oil return lines, if you need them. CLEAN, not rusty, no kinks. Spray some engine de-greaser, and then brake cleaner through 'em and they should be good to go. Use the nicest one, and have a spare. Shoot me $10, and they are both yours. Is that fair? :D Edited January 24, 2009 by agentalpha Quote Link to comment
