needs some body work done but it's a fun car. 280z supercar ftw. Once the bodywork is dealt with it's going turbo it's a project so obviously there is a good bit of work to do. Right now it has l28e stock motor, newly rebuilt with all OEM parts dual electric fans new radiator cold air intake old school nismo headers 5spd 3" exhaust with 18" resonator, stainless tip racing seats with harnesses fuel cell RSTB FSB RSB Tokico Springs KYB strut inserts h4 headlight conversion new steering rack MSD blaster ignition sportmax 002 wheels 16x8 fuzion ZRI 225 50 16
very nice, my friends dad has one that he restored. If you need body parts from what he said the best place for 280z parts is in Tennessee?
In columbus I knew a guy who put a rotary in one of these. Sick. He also did an Ae86 and another Datsun. Can't wait to see it done! Have fun!
A 1978 280z was my first car. I've daydreamed often of getting one and restoring it and tuning it up. definitely keep us updated on your progress.
That looks like a great project car. I heard mention of people dropping Ford 302 V8's in 280Z's. I woudn't think that motor would fit, or it would through the F/R weight distro way off. Has anyone heard of this?
most people drop in 350s if they drop in v8s... popular swap and they make conversion kits. Personally i like to keep it nissan. I'll be going turbo
That's awesome, let's 10th Street that ish up! Headlights look perfect for a retro, interior looks like it needs some work as well
lol well if anyone wants to help, when i get going on the turbo conversion i know i'll need some help with tapping oil and or water lines and general wrench turning. beer and whatnot provided. And Alex i'll bring it by your place tomorrow you can glance at the lights. Interior wise nothing will be done except i'll prob put the door panels back on. It's stripped inside and in the engine bay so the thing is light for when it's running right
Man, Z owners put EVERYTHING in them. 350's, LS2's, RB26dett's, RB25DET's, 3 rotor wankels, everything....
