Red face It's over for me too...

Ok I have made a decision and it is going to work out for some of you. I have decided for safety reasons not to drive my '82 Turbo anymore. I will instead be driving my '79 N/A until I find another car (probably another Nissan, most likely another ZXT) so I will be driving the '79 for a while. It is at this point too dangerous to drive the Turbo and am not risking my life again in it like I had to today. By the way...I might as well have the T-Tops off when I drive in the rain...it would be about the same. The T-Tops don't leak themselves but for some reason the whole perimeter of the roof seems to gush like it has holes all in it when it doesn't.

I am going to part the car out except for the P90A Head as I want to hang onto it in case I get another ZXT. So as soon as you all figure out what you want let me know and we can try to work it out. The car also has the piece that goes between the tail lights that says 280ZX TURBO The interior is black and silver/gray. The dash is crap and so is the arm rest.

Snw...let me know if you need to use the ECU (1982 280zxt 5 speed) If you need it and I ship it to you and it works, hows $20+ the shipping?

Guys I am still a Z driver just not a Turbo driver for now so I am not going anywhere....just moving laterally to my other Z.

Well if you part it out, I'd like to get the j-pipe off you. So what happened exactly?

Well my Defrost quite all together, the roof is leaking bad some how so it made it real humid in the car and fogged up the windows, the brakes barely work and the clutch keeps staying on the floor....It is just to scary and dangerous to drive...thats why I still have the N/A.

OK So Duowing is marked down for the J-pipe ( the BOV comes with that, unless you don't want it).

Can't you sell the engine complete easier than parting it out?

Everyone just sell your S130 all at once!

Pft... giving up is overrated... If it's a squeaky alternator or sticky clutch master, we should all give up on our cars.

NismoPick...it is more than just that...I can't drive a car I don't feel safe in and today proved that to be true and with as much rain as we get here it is just not worth it. I would sell the whole engine as a unit but I want the head...less work for me to do if and when I get another turbo. Snw I believe the ECU is fine, it's my connections that are screwy. I have a Paypal Account and prefer that mode of transaction. I have my tools now so as soon as somebody is or anybody wants to get the ball rolling let me know an I will start removing parts. I will make a list of who wants what and set it aside for them. We can start it all in the PM area guys
