Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2013 Many years ago I remember Steve Newing used to build good L series; he built a L28 for me with no serious mods with the ITB's and Wade 568A (74') cam that made around 154 rwKw's. Stan Holmes was another legendary builder but I haven't spoken to him in quite a few years. They are becoming a rare breed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Heaps of bad engine builders around too, hence the title. The Only person i would hand my L Series onto is Pete, you can see it in his eyes how much passion he has for these brillant engines.

ZED83 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The best part is ill be driving it out the door I'm getting the stainless exhaust system. so Instead of doing the three hour drive up and back all the time from ballarat to Warragul. They can have the car! just drop engine and box back in then do exhaust. I just want to say i am very Impressed with pete and les's service I would recommend them to anyone in the country even in the world. There's no B,S with these guys if it don't work they'll tell you! then make it work I asked for 300+hp setup that's exactly what I got with gearbox/diff to suit! So thanks for your hard work pete/les couldn't be more happy cant wait to drive it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice one Owen, after talking to you. Sounds like the new engine has completely transformed the car. Would be one of the Tuffest 280zx going around the street. Best of luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 That's what i said to him Gordon, the way it sounds is less like a car and more like some futuristic weapon! The midrange torque is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZED83 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This afternoon I made a surprise visit for a friends 12 year old sons birthday. His a big car fan, should I say "nut". His room is full of model cars/posters and and apparently he builds his own cars on line and races them for pink slips! The look on his face when I showed up was priceless, then he was to scared to get in took him for spin around the block while he film it with with one of those Go Pro cameras you race guys use. Tomorrow his going to show all his friends at his school what he got for his birthday. Hopefully I have turned him into a Datsun fan!
