Type 3: Retro-fitted to a 280ZX 2 seater with an IMSA bodykit I think the system was originally fitted to a 280ZX 2+2. I had the small plate, but unfortunately I lost it! The system was fitted to my car in Nov 03 and is currently running standard boost (5psi) Rotomaster turbo...

Thanks. Discretion proved to be the better part of valour and also given the extra problem of the snow and ice - I kept my candy a** at home :D

if i take it easy should it be ok? or is it safer to put the journey off until after the re-tourqe?

Thanks for the advice. Yep, oil and filter change was on the agenda, but the 280 and I are off to see Gary Bellamy tomorrow, so I didn't have time to do it beforehand. BTW: I've now done 350 miles since the conversion (It'll no doubt be around 650 after Lincolnshire and back tomorrow)...

Mike, Sorted: Pipes re-routed in accordance with your advice - I had to use heater hose from the rocker to the air filter as Halfords don't stock vac hose. It all seems to work. Thanks. Just like Columbo - always one more b****y question: I'm low on oil and it needs a significant top up...

I'll bring my 280 to mikes next meet as well so can compare janspeed systems Steve, Cool, I look forward to it! Week tomorrow I think?

You should not be using a breather filter - the rocker cover spigot should be connected forward to the air filter spigot by continuous rubber hose. mmmmmmmm, I know. The people who fitted the conversion were instructed to plumb the rocker breather to the spigot on the air filter - in fact I...

Originally posted by Mr.F From your description I'm assuming air regulator - has a pipe from each end and an electrical connector on one side (?). If so, this opens a passage from one side of the throttle body to the other to allow more airflow for the extra fuel when cold. Normally the...

notwithstanding the weight of all the fibreglass (!!) i'm running new tokicos and new springs all round, but it still sits lower at the back. every 280 i've had has been like this :(

thanks mike, i'll try that.

thanks mike, the engine is hunting for revs, but then again, it always has done. also, the engine sometimes sticks at 2700 - 3000 revs, which as you can imagine is a bit of an eye opener when trying to stop from speed. it can be cleared with a bit of a heel and toe style blip on the...
