WARNING: knee caps and shoulders are visible throughout this video
This video is PART 2 of my first z parts reveal video! As stated in the video- I have NEVER driven a vehicle with an aftermarket intake but boy did the 280zx need it! Small upgrades like spark plugs, spark plug wires and a newer intake honestly made more of a difference than I would have originally thought.

I had so much fun filming and editing this video. 😊 super happy with the combination of changes I made with my first purchases! Definitely an awesome combo of small changes for this engine! Can’t wait to start on body work and engine shopping 🙌🏻💜
I really admire how you're learning about cars and getting into car tuning/building by buying an old car and learning everything along the way unlike others who'd go buy new or expensive cars to learn on. I really like how you're doing everything😊🌹
Beautiful as always and so much personality!!! Enjoyed the video Sarah!!
Great video Sarah. Things are moving right along. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Looks like your shifts are getting better and better! Glad to see you winding out those RPM’s!
Can't wait to see the Z restored! Love these cars! Great vid!
you are living my dream - one day ima buy one and video the restoration too. Congrats!
Ha, same here about the sound on my ZX when I upgraded to a CAI, was definitely let down when I didn't hear a difference but of course there should be a slight performance increase so that's the plus.
You get better in shifting gear 👍, nice sound for that old nissan 😍
I've been enjoying working on my '79 280zx over the last few weeks. Had not considered the cold air intake upgrade yet. Nice car!
See if you can predict when you're going to shift and begin moving your hand over to the shifter JUST BEFORE you need to shift. You can listen to the engine wind up, when you get close to the shift point, start moving your hand. One other tip about a manual, if you need more power, you can "grab a gear"... "Grab a gear" means down shift one gear so that you have more torque. So if you're trying to pass someone in 3rd gear, go to 2nd gear for a second then go back to 3rd (depending on where the RPMs are at). Practice this a lot and you'll get used to it.
Read ur comment man this helped our
New performance exhaust and you will notice the difference Sarah👍👍
In most cases a CAI won’t increase hp. It’s noisy because the air is rammed through a straight tube, not going thru a stock intake manifold meant to quiet the noise. Noise doesn’t always mean increased hp
you killing it im happy for you 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🏎🏎
The brown carpet on the dash needs to stay no matter what else is changed on the car😂
ed warne nooo waaaayyy. I cannntttt hahahah 😂😂😂
@@SenCityOfficialYessss, you have to keep that! Those carpet dash covers take me back!
Lol I love how your so stoked and Aaron is just like... 😐
😂 he’s like “can you just put a turbo on it already”
@@SenCityOfficial Lol, I just ordered my gasket kit and all the t3 turbo stuff for the SR build this week so lets get it going XD
You go Sarah! I didn't notice much of a difference on my Subaru until after a couple weeks with my pod filter. It's like the car had to adjust to it first before I noticed a real difference.
While editing I thought “do I notice a difference or did I just get more confident in my driving” 😂😂😂
@@SenCityOfficial maybe both? Lol
First time to your channel.i love zcars I had 82coupe and loved it your rock keep going o by the way I a 1964 brother.much respect.
"it sounds like it's going to explode though" my wife says the exact same thing, i think guys are just used to beating on our cars more, it isn't going to blow up......probably :)
Are those recaro seats 💺
😂😂😂
TheLifeofChris the factory seats are actually made by Recaro
Swap the belt driven radiator fan for an electronic fan. Will free up power and quiet all that air noise you hear. Seriously worthwhile upgrade for older cars
Great stuff!
thumbnail is fantastic ironically its just crushed enough to make it hilarious
I’m still learning how to make them 😭😭
@@SenCityOfficial its sooo good tho
Heyy! Fellow 280ZX owner here, just subbed your channel! If you want the honest truth, a (clean) stock intake on a 280ZX will consistently make several more hp than aftermarket CAI's on the dyno. If you look at how well it's designed it makes sense, the stock filter is massive. What I would recommend for starting your build is longtube headers and a high flow exhaust with cat-delete. The L28 LOVES headers and sounds badass with a cat-delete. After that, focus on your suspension and tires before bumping up the hp further. I completed my suspension mods and upgrades this year, so if you need any advice on that let me know, I also have made some 280ZX mod/upgrade videos on my channel which could help give you some ideas!
Im from Brazil, i like your channel!!
The reason you aren't hearing much induction sound from the intake is because your fan clutch is stuck and spinning way to fast drowning out the sound lol. If you replace that, fan noise will be way quieter and you'll really hear the intake.
How can you tell this without seeing anything on the engine? Genuinely asking
@@SenCityOfficial If it makes sense, the fan itself is supposed to stop gaining speed after around 2200 RPM. So no matter how much higher the engine is revving, the fan has to stay at that speed by design. Otherwise the centrifugal force can wear out the bearing on the water pump (Where the fan attaches). It sounds to me like the fan is staying in sync with the engine speed way above 2200. Sounds like a hairdryer on steroids when you do accelerate hard right? You cant physically see this because the fan spins no matter what. Its all in the sound. One way to tell other than this, is to try and turn the fan with your hand with the engine off and cold. If it feels really stiff, the clutch is sticking. It happened to my car last year. If it helps, I can dm you a before and after vid of my car on instagram. Hope this helps!
Hello, I am one of the Turkish followers and I love watching videos. (achievements)
nice step brothers reference
Glad somebody caught that 😂
Sarah, you got to eventually learn how to Heel and toe downshift. I mean not now but sometime in the future, it helps keep a longer life for the transmission.
That is true. Atleast for me in my 280zx I find it hard though because I wear a size 13 shoe and the pedal box is kinda small...
im a car guy. i see sen city videos i slap like.
btw do you need a different drivers lincense for manual transmission there in the US??
Me to I have a 280 zx. Will be nice if we meet our cars one day
Great job🙏❤
you should get alot more from an exaust now that the air isnt restricted from entering, it made little diffrence right now because it can inhale but it cant exhale.
Hm. That’s a good point honestly
You just need to drive the z more then the skill will come over time 🙌🏻
Nice vid
Perfect Performance Car 👍👍
"You're nobody! ... aww that was mean" 😂😂
I really like that b roll song.
Sameeee
@@SenCityOfficial Can u tell me which one it is? Legit listened to 100 Chuki Beats but didn't find it and Shazam wasn't getting it too xD
what intake did you get?
Link for the intake? I'm trying to find a trusted website to get parts, thanks.
IDK where you live but is there any worry about rain getting in the intake. It probably doesn't matter if you are in California or something.
knn oil makes the water go away
I love the 280ZX and I’m inclined to suggest keep to the spirit of the car; this is a GT and not a sports car like the 280z before it. As for engine mods, if this is the NA L28 and not the L28T motor - the one with the turbo - that would be where I start and done right you could maybe get 200bhp, which would be an absolute blast in such a light car. Better still, if the mechanicals are good, I’d probably sort out the interior, any rust, body, maybe brakes, etc, before moving to the performance improvements. This will give you the opportunity to drive the car and get a feel for it before any major changes.
Yeah, it’s gonna barely be a chassis of a zx by the time I’m done with it. Thanks anyway
@@SenCityOfficial Understood; I was under the impression you were restoring it.
I want to rb swap mine but i think ill end up turbo charging this engine for money reasons.but thats way in the future cuz i have to fix the body and get the engine running first
What's the scoop on the Z's garage mate. Veilside FD?
Yes
@@SenCityOfficial You should do a video about it!
i need this for my car
Cold air doesn’t make any difference, it just lets the engine breathe easier when you have a bigger exhaust or turbo etc
Beatiful 👍🏼🌹
Get some racing seats already! Use that stimulus check!
There’s a ngk spark plug but I forgot the part number that gives you more hp
I honestly think I had a misfire. I changed my spark plugs in the video before this one. And it’s run soooo much better since then
You could make this car super dope funded by only fans💁😂
Cmon dude
What on earth bro🤣🤣
There always has to be a perv in the crowd.
Well I dont know how far in the future you plan to engine swap, look into headers they really make the engine come alive I got mine from MSA the Z store good place.
I appreciate this. I’m honestly extremely anxious to swap it. But I currently have a engine swap jar that I’m saving my money for it in lmao so we will see
L28 for life ❤️ I thought about a swap but it sounds so good
@@kermieflo4125 I did too. When i got my 280zx i wanted to do a swap then after a compression test i decided to keep it. It still has a long life. One thing that should be done regardless a swap or not is rust removal
Yeh I've checked mine out and insanely lucky it hasn't seen water since 1987!
@@neocerebus yeah man. L series engines are like a dying breed because people been engine swapping Z's for some time. I love mine tho even though it's just 1.8 4 Cylinder, it's screams like a agitated bee hive lol
Rb26 swap in future?
Hubba hubba 🤤
You should make more videos 🙃
I have another one dropping in the next week or so
🥵
You would be happier in a Prius
You’re so ridiculously beautiful it’s genuinely hard to pay attention to what’s going on. Dope video though stay up!
Heel boy
I Love You Sarah 😍♥
exaust time
Exhaust*
@@Jerms995 nobody cares nerd
There is only one reason anyone is watching this ...well maybe 2.
Straight Pipe it lol
Stop looking at the Shifter.. Learn your gear placement
Grandma drives faster shifting than that.
Of course she does. She’s had 80 years of experience 😂
Your seatbelt unbuclke it self
It’s a new feature actually
@@SenCityOfficial nice did realize your seatbelt did that
You should have put a towel on the seat, your butt and legs are your only quality..
I’ll be fine
