Seen here, picture is almost 2 years old but the exterior has not changed.


Seen here, this picture is 3 months old, and the engine bay will be much different once I get my head back in there and all the rest of my new mr.clean.engine.bay items.

It's a Z with zero restore work as of yet. All rust is wheel wells, rear quarter. Hoping to start some body work in 07.
Then I'll need a 260...

Depends on the power you got. and if the busshings are any good. I got plenty of power, but damn she's loose.

Can't beat free! The 2+2 driveshaft is longer than the 2seater & S30.

I don't think the S30 & S130 have the same harness connections. It wouldn't be hard to wire up the new harness tho. Just get wiring schem's of both cars.

And yes, there were 2+2 turbos... I have one in my backyard. The 2+2 turbo was only an option for 82-83's tho. All 81 turbos are 2seaters from the factory.
