    The 280z is very special to me. My cousin who passed away from LGS had a 1979 z and a Grand National but the z was his favorite. We had a lot of memories cruzin in the z. Thanks for restoring it and looking forward to the final product!

    The reason why the distributor cap doesn't go 1,2,3,4,5,6 is that the engine has a specific firing order that the distributor has to follow, which in the case of your engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4

      @@SenCityOfficial the idea behind a cold air intake is to get colder air into the engine. You want cold air because cold air has more oxygen, it is dencer than warm air. More air in the engine means you can add more fuel before you ruin your plugs and you can make more power. But adding a pod filter and a run of pipe in your hot engine bay is counter intuitive. You might gain some flow moving away from the factory box but you intake air Temps on average will go up if you don't have some sort of barrier between your new pod filter and the hot engine/engine bay parts.

    Girl, this is a good project, but don't waste your money. Instead of replacing your wires, troubleshoot them. Nissan plug wires last forever. They really do. Keep the stock air filter. The cold air intake adds nothing to your NA L28 engine. You got 135-145 HP under the bonnet now and if you have a 3.90 in the rear and a 5-spd, you've got all the power and fun that you need. If you're going to spend money replacing stuff, spend it on exhaust and suspension, and you'll have one solid Z.
