hey guys, i might be selling my 78 280 z 5sp 104k miles., already. i love the car, but i need money for college. i picked it up before the summer, in march. it runs strong, starts every time, i always put premium in it. its got a new dash cap, new center console with cup holders, new thermostat, new exhaust and new bumper ends(not installed yet). It needs front differential insulator ($58 in VB), the clock doesnt work but all other gauges do, and it doesnt blow hot air. AC works, clutch is good , tranny is smooth. it has a couple rust spots but nothing major at all, some on the passenger side under the door and some under the back bumper on the passenger side. the back tires have 80% tread , the fronts should be changed soon. the car was painted yellow before i got it, originally black. any offers for trade or purchased will be considered and greatly appreciated. thanx alot Andrew Reynolds

thanx z-ya, i was hoping to get the car into the mid or low 14s N/A and suspension work, but if i can get the money of course i will be looking for some turbo ideas. thanx for the info on the p79 head Andrew

hey, i got a 78 280z 5sp and im lookin to make her fast. i found a R200 4.11 rear in the diffy, for like $200. i think my baby has an R180. i was wondering if the swap would be a direct bolt-on or would i have to change the driveshaft or the halfshafts? And do the R200 4.11 come LSD, thats wut i really want either a 3.90 LSD or better Thanx Andrew
