also for those interested this is the 280zx and my R30 Skyline when i got it all looks stripped now though

Thats a good theory thanks Linton, Only promblem is the shell with th l24 motor cant sit at my mates indefinatly, and i have no where to store the motor at my place.... but i can always try and sort something out, the thing i was worried about with the l28 is wether or not it can handle boost, i have done some searching on here and hybrid z's and there are conflicting oppinions concerning wether the setup is intercooled or not some say yes good idea others say no no no get a p90 head, now bearing in mind i only plan to run 10 or 12 pund boost and this time with an aftermarket ecu instead (still have to buy), as i dont even know how the last setup was running on the n/a l24 Stock ECU, do i really need to get the p90 head or am i better off just getting an already turboed motor like the l28et, in which case i wuld save myself money by just using the l24 in the first place, this is why it is such a dilema. BTW this is a list of the bits the l24 was running with Stock ECU RB26 Injectors on standard rail Fuel Pressure Reg RB20 turbo on l20et manifold Truck spec intercooler with cheap custom pipping manual boost controller set to 10 psi If i simply swap the injectors over to the 280zx along with the manifold and turbo and then get a decently plumbed intercooler, and run on an aftermarket ECU im assuming i should avoid any issues eg. detonation, as long as i go to adelaide and get it tuned by the z shop, or should i be looking at doing something more.

Hi guys My name is Jason, I live in Alice Springs in Central Australia I have come to this forum seeking information and advice, you see i am interested in purchasing a 280zx from a guy that live down the street from me, its in fairly good condition and runs and drives. A few months ago though i purchased from adelaide a 1983 Nissan Skyline MR30 sedan that had a L24e in it with the turbo setup from the l20et running a nice 10 pounds boost with an intercooler, long story short the skylines body was rubbish and so now i have a shell R30 with the L24e motor sitting at a mates place and the rest of the Turbo gear sitting at my house gathering dust. Im thinking about buying the 280zx from here and turboing it, my dilema is I am not sure weather I would be better off putting the turbo kit on the l28e that is already in the car or would i be better off just putting the turbo gear back on the l24 from my skyline and dropping the l24 in the 280zx as i already know the condition of that motor and that it is capable of running 10 pound boost with no issues. I would apreciate some oppinions and ideas from anyone willing to give them Cheers Jason
