Do you pull any timing?

Hey I like that foxbody in the back

Hey are you experiencing heat soak? Mine is fine when cold but once at temp it starts to lose sync. Odd because they are rated for high temp up to 140c I believe. I’m only hitting 96 and get crazy sync loss

Ive owned my 240z for pass 4 yrs and you got way more done that i did in that 4yrs lol

My L28 seems to like a lot of timing. I’m having an issue tuning it though. I’m using microsquirt, and it seems like it completely lacks torque below 5000rpms. It pulls like a train once it gets going though. I’d like to look at your maps when you get a tune you like.

Did you sort out the whistle issue? Check the Protunerz throttle body. They have had issues with the IAC inlet making a similar sound. Protunerez has a fix for this issue. .

Great content amazing 👍🏽

The car looks great! If you're not opposed to killing your brakes, I start at a low rpm ordinate in the VE map and drag the brakes to maintain that rpm while slowly adding more throttle to work through from one cell to the next in the same rpm column. Rinse and repeat from one rpm break point to the next until you dont want to drag your brakes that hard as the rpm gets higher and the car is making more power. In this scenario, your brakes are the load bearing dyno. Much faster and more effective than just driving around with autotune on. The brakes take a bit of a beating, but just let them cool off between rpm points and you'll be fine.

God damn it’s beautiful, love it

that Z looks awesome in white!

Why not use a 2jz base map, ignition and injector events should be the same, l did emu black on my jz and I am starting to build a l28et on emu black for the 280z

Never wax fresh paint for 60 to 90 days.

Kris, that really looks great! Fantastic. I am happy you didn't put fender flares on it. Classy and cool. If you are going for a 5 spd, get one from a late 82-83 non-turbo 280zx. This will have the close ratio gear spread and the taller 5th for cruising. (It is widely considered the best of the Z gearboxes) and if you pair it with the 3.90 diff also from the 82-83 zx, you will have great off the line gearing combo. if you are doing racing stuff, then go for the late 77-80 5 spd and keep the 3.54 diff that is already on the 280z. and in case you're interested in a T5 tranny, grab one from a late 83 280zx turbo. Also, don't be afraid to rev it up while driving. the L28 motors are performance engines and were designed to rev high (the complete 13 year run of the L-series) Lastly, there is a website - datsunzgarage.us/ Lots of good info about the engines, transmissions, and the diffs, and all the gearing numbers and ratios that they have. really good stuff if you are going to do any modifying to your already-badass 280. Check it out. I hope to do a 77 280z soon and I plan to paint it white, all at home. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you and welcome to the world of the Z! Cheers

Very nice 👍

Awesome job Kris on this build enjoyed following along 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Wow! It looks so good 🤩 You did a great job on doing the paint on your own!!

I bought a Quick Performance 9 inch house. Beautiful piece but the top ears are higher than a 8.8. Does anyone have that measurement on a 8.8? Centerline of axle to the center of the ear? Thanks

$20,= if you look at what the weld materials cost nowadays I think the 20 is only just enough for the welding materials

YOU HAVE COOL , HIGH END BUILDS ALL WHILE UTILIZING VERY POPULAR PLATFORMS WITH BEGINNING TO END DOCUMENTATION. YOU SHOULD HAVE WAY WAY MORE VEIWS (((IT DOES SIMPLY TAKE TIME NO MATTER WHAT (([[LIKE 5 YRS]])) BUT I WISH AND THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE 30K-200K SUBSCRIBERS AND ABOUT 10% OF UR VIDS HAVE 300K-500K VIEWS AND 50% ALL HAVE A MINIMUM OF 100K . I THINK YOU SHOULD EXTREMELY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS IN YOUR VIDEO TITLE ABD AND MAKE SURE TO USE POPULAR SIMPLE WORDS ...LIKE YOUR KEYWORDS FOR THE ALGORITHM TO PICKUP ON SHOUKD BE 2 OR EVEN 3 OUT OF 4 WORDS YOU HAVE IN UR TITLE INSTEAD OF 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 WORDS . AND USE ONLY 3-6 WORDS INSTEAD OF 8-12 ..I JUST WANT UR STUFF TO BE SEEN MORE CAUSE U GOT A COOL F BODY HERE ANE UR WHITE ...?? DATSUN OR NISSAN 240-280 OR WHATEVER BUILD RIGHT NOW IS KILLER !!

Awesome video.

Whats the AS and instant center measurements?

Have you weighed the car yet? I'm very interested to know the weight distribution as well, because I'm doing a unique build as well.

What turbo are you running?

Does my pressure source have to come from the turbo housing? My turbo currently does not have a port, nor one pre tapped that needs to be drilled out. So I’m wondering if I need to make a hole and tap it to be able to use my boost controller

Use a slower reducer and wait double the flash time on the base coat , I feel medium reducer cause it.... same with the clear

Have you tried any of the Eastwood products? Rust Mort?

Great detailed information. Thank you!

I'm a industrial maintenance mechanic from years gone by I have the 4.2 Yamaha four stroke and I can't believe the prices on parts

what kind of welder is that?

Are you keeping the stock arms and suspension other than the coilovers?

I got Chinese rods and pistons and my wrist pins won’t fit into the rod small bore. Any tips ?

I’m Doing exactly this on my 280z doors. Thanks for the run through and all the products you used.

I been trying to figure it out it and it’s definitely that. Thanks bro 👍 (Da clear cuh)

How do you like the Strange front struts..? Or have you since changed..? I have the 4cyl struts in the front of mine now but it hasn't seen the track yet nor has it been launched hard on the street. I am running the Team Z street beast set up in the rear with the relocated uppers, strange adj shocks and their drag springs. I really don't want to drop $1500 on drag struts. I seen Bilstein make a drag strut but I don't think it's adjustable.

Rules are not made to hide from... They are there to keep you & everyone else safe!

Mine sit in like that with a Ford racing trac-loc and Moser axles I had made right at 29 inches vs the stock 29.188 length, RC Comp 15x10, 6.5 backspace, MT 275/50 drag radial. I am also running the Team Z street beast kit with relocated uppers. I also had to give the inner wheel wells a little love, I haven't touched the outer lips yet but have only driven the car a few times for short trips and have yet to launch it hard, but no rub yet. Doesn't the rear of the body want to lift under launch..? I may get away not rolling the lips if that's the case. I know this video is 2 yrs old but was hoping someone else might get something out of my comment. I like your work Chris, I am also meticulous with my work.

Engine bay looks amazing!

more ecu master content! nice vids

That has always been a prob with this design. I was looking at building a Ford 300 and i dont like the intake and exhaust by each other. It works but for performance i dont like it.

That is a Gorgeous car!!! I love the black and white!!!

Very nice!!!!

I got an Emu black, i was going to get a 2 din android radio and running some sort of monitor app on it, like RealDash, Emudash, TunerView etc. Will that work? Did you have to fidget with it?

I wonder what the cost is for a competent shop to do it.

You need to attend Tuning University..... a lot of vacuum advance is good as long as it doesn’t detonate. 40 total is usually too much for a SBF, usually around 34*. Smaller primary jets won’t change idle A/F ratio, that requires tuning the idle circuit. You probably have this all figured out by now....

Did you have any issues with the axle being tough to slide in or out..? My drivers side seems like it's bent, I don't know if it's something in the Ford racing trac-loc or the tube is bent. I got the rear end all built and got it in the car then found the issue. When rolling the car by hand there's a spot where something is binding at about 30-40% of a full revolution. The axle goes in and out kind of tough, splines are all good, brand new Moser axles, I even tried 2 other axles and they all went in tough. Any thought's are well appreciated. You do good work btw.

Nice job. Try lifting those fans off the floor. Put them on a chair as they probably stirred the dust and your floors not wet.

Using GT40P heads with upgrade springs, easy to find spark wires with 90* boots, and BBK shorties have been no problem. Use a cut down sparkplug socket and a box end wrench to change the two plugs that are close to pipes...there ya go.

Great idea, but the wrong material. PVC is terrible stuff to use with compressed air.

Use double backing 3m tape the rubber red tape. Silicon causes warps in the sun.

😮 Looks good!
