akumazedex Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Epic update time! I did some dismantling today at work. Decided to take one last pic before the car lost all it's dignity Here's what We're working with here folks After couple of hours of carefully removing connectors (as I'll be saving the harness and ecu and efi junk) and ripping all the hose connections it was time to rip out the goods And here's what we ended up with, a 4x4 looking 280 and a grimy but otherwise very nice L28 Gonna get this thing on an engine stand after I get some long ass bolts an clean the eff out of this thing. Getting a fresh coat of paint, polish etc etc Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sweet bro! Wheels are def aggressive! Good job pulling the L28¡! Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 It's a 260!!!! Gah!! The motor was a literal pain in the back lol The wheels are eagle alloys, prolly late '80? Maybe early '90s And no Alex, you can't has wheels lol Quote Link to comment
bludestiny Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I never feel bad about tearing into a car for parts that I plan on using. If I wasn't going to use them then It's be hard to justify the time and space needed, although with the one 280zx Turbo I parted I easily doubled my investment. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I had some free time before I have to start work today so I got some stuff done. Got the motor on a stand in all it's grimy goodness Soaked it in some degreaser, need more tho, and gotta steam clean it to get all the tough stuff Decided to paint the valve cover purple, along with the motor when it's cleaned up. And this is what I ended up with Slow progress but progress none the less 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's not retard primer black anymore!!! I'm content with the paint for now, on to putting a motor in :P Good Job ! Did you spray this yourself ? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's apperently indigo.... Right, that's blue. Anyways yes, I rattle canned it myself, it's actually crappier than it looks, but paint wasn't dried or even yet, might need another coat. Much easier on the eyes than black primer, wanted to chuck Norris it every time I looked at it lol. But yeah, motor should be ready soon, need to order gaskets, new clutch, some lines, a fuel pump and regulator and we should be ready to fire up. 1 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Ya, won't make this meet with my dime. Or the next one. I am being very methodical about this project. Can't afford (money, time or patience) if I blow this motor.... Measure twice cut once ya know.... Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Same here, figured while I have the motor out do what I can, although I'm not goin as far as you did I want it problem free for as long as I can. Still gotta order a clutch and gaskets, then I gotta pull out the old junk from the 260, gahhh soo close and yet so far lol Quote Link to comment
