In summertime with me it's the opposite, it means i have to drive my ZX to the store and have a nice drive (got myself a good excuse to drive the car!) And sometimes IF i find the correct part or whatever I CAN DRIVE AGAIN! 😂

Hi, at nr 12 you say you replaced the fuel? pump? And did you use a good original nissan pump or a cheap next year dying chinese junk pump? Hihi sorry but i hate these junk pumps they are 20-40 euro/dollar and die within a few years.. I had a datsun 240z and the pump still worked i think after 54 years! (I had the car for the last 27 years and never needed a new fuel pump.. i have new pumps in my pile if you need one.. I did not read it all just saw your pics but can not see the new pump.. greetings from the Netherlands! Mart.

Fs5C71B is a euro 5 speed gearbox and i hear that they are scarse, what often also means expensive, they go, in good condition, for bigger prices say a few thousand of dollar/euro

Brand new parts are beiing sold at s30.world they are in the Netherlands but they have a outlet for parts also in de States! Take a look at them, they have VERY nice cars and parts! S30.worldS30.world - HomeHome

Yes, Henry , I believe i still have the "calendar"clock, i could/have to check my pile of parts in my cellar! 😄

I believe i put that one already on this list.. i'm not sure but hey.. better twice than not!

Hi, That serial number sounds like a mid 1971 example as my 260xx serialnumber was from feb 1971..

Hi Allan, welcome to the club! I restored (almost) a 1979 280zx! Maybe you have a pic from your old zx? If you search for restauration of a 1979 datsun 280zx 2+2 slick roof you'll find it! At the moment i;m to ill to work on it and also a LOT of other jobs are more urgent.. BUT.. There is a light at the end of the tunnel as i have a LOT of help of some Ukrainian friends that i help out! We did a lot of work on my house and now.. yesterday we started on my garage!! So within a few weeks i hope we can start on the 280zx! I have to clean and paint the engineroom and put that beautyful engine back into the car! So there will be more news on my project aswell! I'm from the Netherlands, on this site are many people from all over the world so don't think it's NA only. Also i like to say.. do not forget to put a F behind the number when your talking temperature or LBS when it;s weight! ;-) Have a good time here and any question you have will be answered by specialists haha! 🤜

Shoud there be gold on the 8 big holes in the wheel rims? I thought only the "cross" is in gold?

Hi Bart, so to also do a little update.. your as old as my new girlfriend.. HAHAHA, really! She is 38 at the moment.. speaks english.. to sugardad. ;-) But she has Duchenne/becker.. oh well you know i'm a basketcase myself, so why not two bascetcases together! Just have FUN! 😃

Yeah, i had almost the same thing Google was so kind to mess with my mailadresses to get loged in TRY ANOTHER MAILADRES FROM YOURSELF OFCOURSE IF YOU HAVE ONE, I DID ON A ADVICE FROM MIKE AND, IT WORKED! google had changed my inlog mailadress, no one did give or asked permission they just did!!

Take a piece of tubing, 2 feet.. put one end to your ear, and look for the noise with the other end, watch out for the fan! But i bet you will find the bearing or so that makes the noise within minutes! Very interesting noise, let us know what it was!🙂

The 79-80 280zx came absolutly with rear discs (and ventilated front discs) so, discs all around.

I would say use carburetor cleaner, what's good for the inside should be safe on the outside.. Carb cleaner spray can and a hard brush will do the job. Or use a cooking pan sponge on the outside dirty bits? later on you can polish the outside parts with special aluminum polish.
