I think it seriously needs BIGGER dual exhaust. Don't you all agree? Those pipes just aren't very noticable

Looks like a good car. You can drop the engine in and have it running in a few days. You know what you're doing My brother and I look forward to seeing you at MSA.

Sweet car man, just too bad it isn't a 280zx. Oh well, I still want a S30 like that. Good luck bro', and hope you get it. Keep us updated on it.

I will have to put a zx gas tank in it to keep from surging so with a ZX motor and tank I will be 20% 280ZX so I will still be allowed to post here.

well. A S30 tank is made for Carbed Engines. ZX tanks are made for Injected Engines. The pick up. and return are larger on the ZX tank. can flow more. and the top lid is already set up for the ZX fuel needs. so no converting needed. Sure you can make a S30 tank work, but it's allot easier just to swap the tanks.

1975-78 280Z's (S30) are fuel injected and have the same size lines as the ZX.... so, you'd only have to do the same changes to that tank, pump, and lines as you would to a 400hp 280ZX turbo

I have heard of people who converted a 240Z (carbbed) to an L28et and just swapped in a 280Z tank. (not a ZX tank)
