What the heck are these and whats the problem
Ok take a look at these photo's...What is the setup called attached the spark plug wires...and why dosent the paint stick..to types used acrylic enamel and plastic spray paint both are spray actually..Dupli-color on the acrylic and some plastic paint from home depot..and yes I sanded and used primer.

coil packs for the spark plugs. that intake depending on where you live is legal or not. even though thats how some came without a egr. can you show a close up of your paint attempt. looks like the paint is lifting or something to that extent. i cant really tell because im not able to see it that clearly but someone might be able to see whats going on. dupli-color sucks btw. you would be better off getting general black primer >_<

Pic# 1: Jeff P's car? Looks like his seats...
Pic# 2: Coil packs. You use them w/ MegaSquirt / SDS or similar.
Pic# 3: Did you prep & CLEAN the surface? Wax & grease remover?
Pic# 4: That's Jeff P's car.
Pic# 5: N42 non-egr intake. Prolly not "legal" in Cali, but it seems that people manage to have them.

They look like seats outta a z31 turbo. And no the non-egr intake won't pass visual. Sucks, but that's the way it is. Although if it wasn't as shiny and attention getting as the pic, you might be able to squeak by as most people nowadays don't know what a proper L-series motor looks like.

I think they are seats from a van.

i may sound like a noob(wonder why?) but is that intake manifold something custom or is it something datsun made?
and lol at first i thought that the engine with the coil packs was a LD28(ohh i want me one of the ld cranks bygollie)
never mind, in all my ignorance i didnt realize that was a turbo manifold
nother ignorant ?, would there be any point in taking a turbo manifold and using it as a N/A manifold? would you gain a little power from the increased air flow or is there increased air flow?

That polished intake manifold IS NOT a turbo manifold. It's an N42 non-egr intake from an early 280z. And no... a turbo manifold on an n/a will not do anything. Ever heard of "Port and Polish" ?
#11
how is it not turbo? i mean the valve cover says turbo and there is a turbo sitting atop the exhaust manny
will that bolt right up to a 81(p92374 or whatever) head?

Have you thought about including TWO questions in ONE post before????
I dunno if anyone has ever told you, but the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, cylinder head, and valve cover are not all one big piece. You can take them apart and interchange them... thus the reason that intake manifold is not a turbo one... because they swapped it. Horray!!!!!

well i think about one but right after i think of another and i just now realized that i for got about the edit feature
i knew that, im not a noob(haha) but again dose the intake bolt up to the 81zx N/A head?and can i use zx injectors or do i have to go out and get some 79 injectorrs? i like it cause it looks ten times claener than the 81 stock manny

The next thing we need to teach you is how to use the SEARCH feature. All of those things have been discussed before and can be found by clicking your mouse several times.
In a nut shell... ALL L heads have round intake ports & the same bolt pattern.
All 76-83 n/a injectors have the same flow rate and impedance, thus they are interchangeable (no "special" injectors are needed for an intake mani swap).

i didnt use the search feature because i thought i was kind of helping this guy with his question , but i thought there was a difference in the injector holder and injector base shape? so no es interchangebles?
#17
sorry, i only have had one simester of spanish, but i think you said you are positive?
thanks, ill start looking for a N42 non-egr intake from an early 280z and a little ricer turbo booost for my 280

holy hell and you guys thought i was bad
oh and i belive the seats came out of a conversion van, you know the pimped out ones with the funky tall fiberglass roofs. the one i drove had similar seats, i think it was a ram van conversion van.

If you want that intake be prepared to do some work. That one has had the holes filled and then it was polished. A factory N42 has holes for vacuum connections, etc...
I would love to find a set of those seats. I need to spend some time at the local yards.

"Hi Mike, thanks for the complement on my car. The seats are recaro ERGO-MED seats. The seat was used in Ferrari vehicles factory, there are a number of the cars in Huntington Beach, and that is the only car I have seen them in. The seats are fully electric, dual lumbar supports and heated. I was able to use the stock 280ZX seat bracket to mount them, with a little modifications to the floor mounts.
The other cars that I have seen similar recaro seats are in the BMW cars, 328 series and M series off the top of my head. So if someone is looking for a seat like my car has I say look at the BMW equipment.
I did call recaro regarding the seats after I found the ones in my car, I was trying to get a total cost of the seat before I bought mine. I was quoted 1800.00 each covered in cloth. The leather option was almost 2000.00 more for each seat. So I decided to go take a look at them and bought them on the spot after I got a look with my own eyes the color of the leather. NICE! ( SWEET! ) LOL. I got a deal on them @ 3K for both.
Have a good weekend Mike."
