Hello All, Mart here,I bought a Datsun 280zx slick roof 2+2.. in or around september 2013.. It's a funny story, Always looking for a Datsun z or zx one day Bart (Yes, from bartscooterservice also here on the forum) told me there was a 280zx for sale in a town near his. These days i'm not working anymore because of a accident at work and a later flattening a motorbike against a tree.... But after Bart told me there was a 280zx i wondered if it was still that one i remembered from the '90's when i was at that Nissan sub-dealer for his burglar alarm inspections, i was a service engineer at that time.. It was a blue car put away in 1993-94, in a st…

Does anyone know if someone makes frame rail kits for a ZX like the ones Bad Dog Parts makes for the early Z's ? Mine are showing a speed bump or two and I'd like to fix them before painting the car.

Hi everyone, I'm going to be looking it an '83 ZX on Saturday. The owner and I have talked, and he says there is this one suspicious spot between the T-tops. Obviously there are signs of repaint work, and the paint appears very thick. Is this probably just cracked paint/filler, with surface rust underneath? Or is there a chance it's worse than that? Thanks! Sarah

All Z cars seem to be rather prone to rust, we all know that (generally from personal experience), and for whatever reason we all share issues with the battery tray. I knew that mine was rather bad, and finally tried to do something about it. First off, I don't have many tools. I have no welder, not even a power drill. Being both tool-less and generally clue-less can (and does) cause problems. Remember, I'm the one that pulled off the fenders just to change a headlight... So... In my case it was actually good that my tray was so rusty, it made it much easier to remove with a hammer, my tire iron (chisel), and dremel. The S130 battery tray is supported by a solid …

I have an 82 280zx 2+2. I am about to start the sanding and body work. I am wondering what is under the trim on the bumpers? I want to take off all the trim, but I am not sure the end product will be what i want. Is there a polishable metal under the trim? If so that would be perfect. Or should I just remove the trim off the sides and leave bumpers alone. Any thoughts on this? If any body has pics of a z car with the trim taken off the sides or bumpers, please post it, I would like to see what it looks like as a reference. As you can see in pic, my side trim is broken on the end and is warped pretty bad. the other side of the car is missing part of the trim behind the fro…

Hello. My name is Andrew. I have in my posession a 1979 280ZX that is rusty and falling apart. (you know so when you're complaining about 'scratching my rust') I am posting this as a help point for body parts. I personally need both front fenders, and possibly new driver's door panel. If you have information, or tips, or complaints, or anything of that nature, please contact me. (or simply reply to this thread). Bear in mind, i am young, and this is my first car ever. Although i am slightly experienced with chevy cars and such, i have never seen a Z car before my own. Thank you.

My z project winding down after 15 months in the body shop. Body work and paint came out great. Every piece of glass,doors,hood,hatch,bumpers,all removed in process. Taken down to bare metal. Kind of a puzzle getting it back together after being apart so long. Now trying to find rubber seals for around the doors. I can't understand why the 79-83 280zx is being neglected as far as reproduction seals and parts in general. There seems to be plenty of demand. Anybody parting out 79-83 with some good rubber around the doors, let me know. Hope to post pics of my z soon. Think you guys are gonna like it. By the way "Black Gold", the hatch I bought from you worked great. I used t…

Hello Everyone, Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a 280ZXR California car and have begun restoration process. I am currently working on a full reproduction stripe kit for the car and was wondering if there are others that might be interested since I will probably be producing several when the time comes. I am in the decal business and have access to all that i need to produce them once I have completed the art files. It will take awhile to complete to insure sizing and color accuracy are correct but thought I would test the waters to see if there is any additional interest. Regards, Phil
