I just bought this SCCA 1981 Datsun 280zx for a road race car. IMSA WIDE BODY. Body is not perfect, needs TLC. Centerline wheels with good rubber. Front disc brakes, rear drums. 5spd. The motor cranks, but is knocking. Bottom end. Appears to have a racing intake, polished valve cover, header, exhaust, fuel injection, air intake, strut tower brace, fiberglass hood, tach and interior pieces. I have the title, but it is an Oregon salvage due to Theft. I am selling as is, title included if you want it, but I don't know what it would take to get a NC title. My loss. Will part out if not sold complete. Please email any questions and I will try to get the answer for you. Pe…

82 280zx. Ran nicely until it didnt, then I replaced the fuel pump. The gas was bad (dark, smelled of varnish, sat for 10 + years), I ran it with the bad gas for a while (10 mins at a time, around the block once), then it just stopped. Pumped out 95% of the remaining gas just north of the fuel filter, then replaced the fuel filter. Put in new gas. Verified it has spark by pulling a spark plug. Pulled off valve cover to try to inspect timing belt, discovered it has a timing chain. Put valve cover back on. Pulled the injector closest to the firewall, noted the plastic ring that serves as some kind of over-grown O ring (I guess) is broken, verified some gas is squirt…

My dad purchased a 1982 Nissan 280zx 2+2 about 10 years ago and recently it has come into my hands. It’s in decent shape overall, but could still use some work. I personally don’t know much about cars, but am willing to learn. I’m posting this to a few Z Car related forums in hopes of finding people who are willing to help me get it back in the shape I would like to see it. I’ve never really posted on a forum before so here’s a list of what I see as small things that need to be done. If you need any pictures or extra information please feel free to ask. -Replace windshield wiper fluid tubing -Fix Betty (used to work and sometimes still does, but not often) -Dri…

I saw some classifieds in the 240k section but not here. My apologies if this is not allowed. Last week I picked up a parts car... Short block, heads and transmission are not for sale. T-tops and roof are not for sale. The body is straight with supposedly new bodykit and prepped for paint but the frame and floor are toast. Brand new Reproduction Dash plastic rest of the interior is hit and miss, cheap re-upholstery job... Too much else to list, Anything else just ask! Located in the mojave desert, ca. PM for contact information.

hello im new on this site and have just brought a very tidy 1980 280z (looks like the zx) (car had only done 6500km in 11 years) i drove it 700km home with no issues but the next day it just wouldnt run right. was running on 3 or cylinders. after finding crap in the tank had gone thru the pump and filter, the injectors we blocked. they were serviced and new pump and fuel reg replaced but now when you give it a bit of a squirt it gets to about 3500 rpm the car dies and makes a pre ignition bang in the engine bay. plugs are black. i have also changed plugs,leads,coil,rotor and cap. still runs rich. im just about to give up but thought i would ask around to see if anyone has…

New guy here so please be kind. Just got a 79 280zx for FREE. I noticed it has a crack all the way through the rubber boot between the mass air flow to the throttle body.

Thanks Mike The 79 and 80 share the same hose nissan P/N# 16578-p7100

I went a little crazy in 2013 and ended up with three new to me 280ZX hardtops. The first one I fell into came from its original owner out of Sacramento, Ca last June. It had been sitting since the late 90's and only had 104k miles on it. It is known as the blackout package according to the window sticker that came with the car. Other than the blacked out window moldings it also features the beveled body molding found on the European and Japanese market S130's. One of the things I enjoy about these blackout models (my second one) is the lack of power steering and the R-180 differential and tall 5th gear. Another nice feature is the cold AC for the humid summers. The m…

I was just wondering if anyone else was having trouble "viewing" their garage when they click the "My Garage" button. I can get to my garage from the garage list of all the vehicles on here, but that option seems to not be working. They may have taken that link out while the site was down. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks

Just thought I'd run this and see what kind of mileage other owner's are getting. Also, if you'd like to give a brief history of any "modifications" you might have found to be useful at increasing your mileage. Might be a helpful tool for all the S130 owners.
