  1. I took my 280zxt out for a about a week ago for the first time in a couple weeks and the transmission was slipping badly in third gear. This is the first time I have ever noticed any unusual behaviour from the tranny. I checked the fluid and it is at the correct level and clean. So I parked it and had a local transmission shop with a good reputation come and pick it up. They called me today an said it will run about $3700 to rebuild - 1300 labor and 2400 parts. They want to replace everything - valve body, converter, pump, etc. They even want $700 for just a rebuild kit. These prices seem absurd to me. I went by and looked at the torn down tranny before they sent me the quote and all of the hard parts and friction discs look great. There was some glazing and cracking on the inside of the friction band. Does anyone else have recent experience with getting an automatic rebuilt? Thanks.
  2. Thanks guys. I guess the consensus thus far is that it should be silver/chrome. Seems odd that it would have that with the gold side and rear emblems, but I am getting used to the idea that the 81 Turbo was sort of a mutt car.
  3. Hi guys, I just wanted to see if anyone can confirm that an '81 turbo with paint code 093 (light brown metallic w/ gold stripe) should have a gold hood emblem. The nissan parts microfiche just says that the gold emblem is for black cars. My emblem just broke, so now I am on the hunt for an original. All the other emblems on the car are gold, but it has been repainted and most of the emblems are new. Thanks!
  4. Tyler, Thanks for the reply, but they are one-year-only for the '81. That's why I am not very hopeful...
  5. I know it is a long shot.... But does anyone have a center-cap for an '81 turbo "snowflake" wheel? I just need one right now, but I would be willing to buy a whole set for a decent price. Only interested in decent looking ones that will still snap into the wheel (i.e. still has the majority of the fingers). Thanks!
  6. I am looking for a few little parts for the interior of my '81 ZXT with a tan/brown interior. I am interested in the following parts: - square plastic screw hole covers for the top of the dash (with tabs intact) - center dash-top AC vents with good tabs - t-top shade screw socket (part that is glued to glass) - hatch rear interior panel - seatbelts with buckles that aren't broken Thanks!
  7. Hello everyone! I just got into the world of classic Z-cars with this '81 ZXT. It is a real time capsule with 77k miles. The paint is recent, but most of the rest is original. I love it! Does anyone out there have an '81 with paint code 093? That's what mine is, but it doesn't have the gold pin stripes anymore and I was wondering what they looked like.
