hey, a 280zx turbo guy :)  I drove one last year, fun car :)
especially when the wastegate had stuck shut... man, that thing
woke up big time at about 3500 rpm:)

too bad the frame/body where all rotted from sitting to long :(

had sat for 5 or so years after a minor winter fender bender,
nobody washed it, so the salt up in NH destroyed the poor thing :(
only had 80k miles on it...
