ver niiiice.... just wondering what you are useign for an oil pump???

Whats the deal with kuwait and dats anyway...

Ben, can you provide more details on the gearbox mods?

speedhunters and motormavens are my biggest time wasters at work... so glad they havent blocked it (yet)

I need to get the RSL or something to help me lateer on. but currently as i had major surgery last week i cannot be assesed for another 6 months. (or so they tell me) the injury needs to be stable, as in not recovering, not getting worse. i been in the process for 12 months now... lame

congrats on the L28 chris! gotts luve the interchangeabliltah! (cartman voice...)

Im still good for the throttly adaptor, just selling on of my spares to fund it!

Sounds like a plan. I have another option on the cards for this minute, still awaiting further info (looking at a twin butterfly throttle with matching manifold) at $30 i couldnt even make one. Will be in contact

Well if this surgery doesnt fix everything then i get re-assesed for perm disability in 10% increments... will see what happens but i doubt i'll get anything

Im sure we could sort something out. Pretty soon I will have too much stuff in the garage so I better start moving bits along! If i can arrange something with this dual stage setup and the manifold then im positive I will be able to sell you the rb25 T/B. pm's from now?

oh yes, especially the ones that transferred from adfa... I was only in fro 6 months, ankle got turned to jelly on a pack march over majura... no joke it happened over a year ago and TODAY only just got surgery. the meds are keeping me up though. heck its 2:12 am WTF

any updates on this??

Would you sell the TB adaptor seperatly? I already have 3 throttle bodys!

I know of a 1979 manual conversion out here in Canberra in fairly reasonable nic... postage a bummer though

OK I kinda thought this would be the case, directed advertising is proven to work! Aparrently the yamaha /honda dealership in Darwin is the top seller in the nation due to the cashed up servicemen! When I was in the army the lates thing to get were yamaha R6 and then the boys on Duntroon were all into gucci jeeps and disco's etc (quite wanky setups, no go just all show, like seriously they wouldnt drive them near roadworks cos the dust would make the powdercoated shovels bolted to the front bumper all dirty...). One of the CO's for 2nd Class has a superb toyota sprinter he has modded of its tits, it has a boosted fully worked 4age, with Adaptronic ecu, one of the develpoers/tuners (Jason Broadhurst) even flew from brissy to canberra to tune it, was a ripper! I quite like toyota 4x4's though, those bundoora landies are very formidable!

Interesting posts there. Currently I have 2 L24e TB's, 1 L20et TB, and a USDM KA24de 60mm item, and a RB25det. the dual stage is of definite interest to me, im a keen tinkerer and would like to see what I can do with it... Can you pm me with your location and price youre looking for for the 'twin small butterfly' throttle body and a price for the manifold and throttle body combined. My location is Canberra for your reference. Cheers! AP

Mate that is the most Aussie post of the day... you bloody ripper. Pat on the back to you.

Hi all, Nearly every 280zx i see forsale, or wrecked, or pulled parts from were owned by members of the RAAF, im talking at least 8 of the 10 cars i have been in contact with. Was there some special deal being offered in 1979/80/81 etc for serving members or was there some 280zx 'craze' that the raffies got onto??? Just wondering, as its been a puzzle for a long tome. I can just imagine all these tea drinking top guns racing up and down the runways on sunday mornings....

Good stuff Chris! Andrew with the MR30 skyline hatch here, hope all goes well with the final setup. Im keen on the injectors / rail if they arent leaking?

There are a few items on these that are hard to find, my mate couldnt get his auto fixed, so he pulled one from a series 1 R31 Skyline, and swapped bellhousings, bolted in and all is good. the series 2 skylines have a little computer for controlling shifts etc, not recommended.

you could use it as a coolant feed to the turbo??? joke...

He there, if your looking for a helping hand Im in Canberra, I know my way around the L-series pretty good too. Paint prep is something I need to learn more in, so if youre keen send me a pm or email. my spam email is h a b i b _ t u p p e r w a r e @ l i v e . c o m . a u

Do you have the dual stage L28et throttle body?

anything over 6000 rpm sounds fairly insane!!! luvin it!

any details on the hypothetical builds??? im trying to see what can be done with an original l24e in the skyline.... sorry to verge off-topic
