400 Horsepower out of a Datsun 280zx? Yeah, let's do that.
This restoration build is shifting into an allout high performance street Datsun.

We've talked about swapping in an RB26 from a GTR, the 350Z's VQ35, and even the classic LS1. The decision has been made. We're keeping the spirit of this Nissan S130 alive by replacing the factory L28 with a turbocharged L28et. In this episode we'll talk about exactly what we'll be doing to the little Datsun from here on out. From engine management, to suspension, to brakes, a lot of what we need is still up in the air, but the build is going to result in a heavily modified Datsun 280zx that still rocks the Nissan racing heritage.

Plus, nothing beats the exhaust note of a high horsepower l28 turbo.

As with all project cars, this is going to take a long time. For those of you that want to stick around, make sure to subscribe to The Left Pedal for car videos and updates every week!
