Hey all, I'm looking at a '78 280Z today near me. My 240Z is taking longer to restore than I thought, so I thought maybe I'd try to find another car to do some small repairs on and just drive. Apprently this one will only run off starting fluid, which suggests to me a bad fuel pump or severely clogged injectors. I'm not too savvy on the 280Z, so are there any specific things I should watch out for? Any help is apprecitated; thanks!
Sweet deal! We all ought to go to some ZCCNE meets this year; I hate being the only one around with a Z car, . My group of friends' cars consists of 2 Miatas, 3 Imprezas, 3 RX-7's, 3 MR2's, and 752,479 240SX's, but no Z cars!
It's actually British Racing Green or something thereabouts...
I'm mainly on HybridZ, which is why I rarely get on here or zcar.com. Yeah I know it's pretty ambitious but I really want to do something uncommon. I was dead-set on an RB26 swap but it just seems like a cop-out, .
Hey everyone!
I've actually had my '73 240Z since August '07 but I just recently decided to check out this site. I'm in the middle of doing a partial re-restoration of my car, as well as swapping in an L28ET engine with a custom-fit Z32 5 speed. I hope to also make use of the freshly-rebuilt triple Weber DCOE's from my current engine for a blow-through turbo setup :classic: Please check out my FS thread; I've just parted out an '83 ZX Turbo and I've got everything up for sale except the engine itself!
Here's a couple pics of my car:
