strictlydatsun Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hey guys, my name's Mike and I joined a while back but haven't posted yet. I figured I'd better join up since all my buddies are on here and I wouldn't mind hearing what other car guys in the area are up to. Anyways, I drive a '98 Dodge Avenger as my DD for the winter and fall, and the rest of the time I drive a '77 Datsun 280Z turbo. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768854_1_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768854_3_full.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c123/strictlydatsun/ZandAvenger.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c123/strictlydatsun/Frontview.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Welcome.nice Z car.What's that in the garage,Austin,MG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlydatsun Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 NOS50, That's my dad's '63 Triumph TR3 in the garage. Ricochet, the 280Z's all had naturally aspirated L28's in them. Most guys doing 280z turbo swaps drop in L28ets from 280zx's, but i did a bolt-on turbo conversion with the original motor.

strictlydatsun Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thx Kelli. Your GT is looking good too. I saw one of your earlier threads with a full pic. It's great to see a girl who's as concerned with her car's power as she is with its looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 NICE Z! I had a 76 280 that i was doing a small block swap on (those inline 6's jsut dont make enough power for those cars) but kind of ran out of money and had to sell it. But I've always had a love for the datsuns, one day when I have more money I hope to pick another one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlydatsun Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Thanks Supldys. I have a buddy who's also doing a small block chevy swap into a 280z. It definitely simplifies things a lot over going the turbo route. My I6 turbo setup is making real nice power though, and I can't complain at all. The motor has plenty more potential too. I'm only running 8 psi for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
