More info please

280zx what ? year ? engine ? turbo ? NA ?

You can clean up some of the clutter with a new fuel rail, the stock one is too loopy, the lines going to the canister are important, the vacuum line going through the firewall on the passenger side supplies vacuum to your heater A/C controls, so you don't want to delete those, or at least make sure you supply vacuum to that line. I'm sure your question is a sticky on one of the Z sites. maybe google emissions delete , and also you need to consider your emission laws in your area, in California, you can't delete or vary a thing or the ****'s will shut you down. So some depends on your location.

yeah but it won't run very well. download the fsm from xenon. study it. think about ways to reroute things that will be less cluttered. If you don't like cruise control there is one you can eliminate.


if you would really like answers that would help you and avoid flames give the following info when you post: year of car, n/a or turbo engine, stick or slushbox. Most of us can tell by the year what model you have ie 85T is a turbo z31. Z cars come in many flavors and they are all different. example 84,85,86 Z31's pretty comparable. there were changes in 87,88,89. in addition 300ZX can refer to two completly different cars the Z31 and the Z32. No mindreaders here the more info you can post the more likely you get a cogent useful answer

4 Barrel conversion, and it runs every bit as strong as it did with FI.
