WOW!!

That is one nice looks 280.!! I can't get over the over how good that paint is. This has been really well looked after. Congrats on all the hard work man.

Any estimates of the power this is putting out?

Wish you were selling this 2 months earlier, I wouldve snapped it up in no time!

thanks for that mate :-)

as embarrassed as I am to say it, iv never actually dyno’d the old girl so im not sure what power its pushing, but they have around 135bhp standard im told, so with the mods done im sure its well and truly past that mark. Would be interesting to find out but.

  • 2 weeks later...

All these pictures were taken Friday 23rd of February, basically trying to show what condition the body is, usual trouble spots, interior shots etc.

If I was keeping the car I would probably get new coilovers, fix the rust on the boot that’s starting to come through, get a professional detail that’s probably about it. The interior is complete and in good condition(apart from some small missing parts that I haven’t installed yet or stuff that I haven’t felt the need to source out) the body is straight (apart from some bumps ontop of the front quarters – as I tried to get a photo of) the paint is fantastic in some parts but other parts have some imperfections (such as the rust starting to come through on the boot, cracks forming on the rear left quarter, but black paint will show up every spec of dust as everyone would know)

Overall for a 24 year old car its in fantastic condition and is a great example of a classic zed car.

Hopefully that answers some questions. Feel free to email me with any questions

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
