Z Driver

Victoria British has the air dam, side skirts, and rear skirt for 499. Free shipping on orders over $500. I'm not sure if you are looking at a complete kit or or not. Hope this helps.

Those headlight buckets cannot be good for the coefficient of drag either. I wonder how much drag is reduced from those headlight bucket covers....

Afshin, you also forgot to mention the ZX's have four wheel disc brakes. I have a 280ZX that I am stripping paint off of right now. I love the way it drives. Since my car is nothing to look at and I overpaid, I always find myself looking at the first gen Z's. I would go with a 280Z or 280ZX if I were going with a high power setup because of the added strength and safety. I am going with a more mild L28 setup so I think the first gen would have been better for me. I will forget all about the first gens once I get paint on my ZX.

The rear strut on my 1980 280ZX is frozen in place on the place where the bottom 17mm bolt goes. I am trying to upgrade my suspension to Tokico parts and need to remove the whole assembly. I have tried penetrating oils and a hammer and it still will not come off. I have all four necessary nuts and bolts off to remove it, but it will not break free. I have already done the left rear on the car so I know what I am doing for the rears. The left rear only required one light tap from the hammer to easily slide off. Has anyone had this type of problem before? Is there a trick that I do not know of for removing frozen parts? This is driving me crazy.

My 1980 280ZX is in need of new bumpers. I went to a local junkyard to find new bumpers and found two 280ZX’s. Unfortunately the both were from the ’81-83 generation which have a different bumper style. These ZX’s have bumpers that have no chrome and wrap around the car until the wheels. I need to know if I can take the covers off of one of these ZX’s and replace my current bumpers without changing the reinforcement. I have the older style that wrap around only halfway with the chrome inserts. I am having a hard time finding any bumpers in my area so I am desperate. Has anyone done this swap before?

How much would a place charge to fix and replate chrome? I think I am better off finding bumpers and taking the chrome from them. I cannot get any quotes because I am not in Missouri with my ZX. Thanks for your help.

I have many dings in the chrome strips of my 1980 280ZX's front and rear bumpers. I would be open to painting over the chrome on the bumper. I have seen this done on many ZX's. Would body filler be able to stick to chrome? Should I just break down and find new front and rear bumper covers or pay MSA for the chrome strips? I like the chrome on my bumpers but it will detract from my car when it gets painted if the chrome has dings. Does anyone have any of the chrome strips for sale? Thanks

Sorry I did not specify the car. It is a 1980 280ZX with a Tokico suspension. I would be doing some autocross but mostly backroad driving. I have some really bad but new 205/70/14's on my stock "iron cross" style wheels. I was thinking of going with some Panasports. I think I should go with 15X6 so I could run 205/60/15's. Even though it is the same width, there would be less sidewall and more tire options. Does anyone have pictures of a 280ZX with 14 or 15 inch Panasports?

see topic. Thanks

I saw a hatch on Ebay last night. No glass. Just do a search on Ebay Motors for 280ZX. It was like $5 with no reserve (I think).

I have driven a 2002 I35, and it really moves. I love that 3.5L V6. I have driven fast cars such as a 2002 XJR, 1996 M3, and a 1995 C36 AMG(fast for the time, I beat a riced Integra with three people in it). The I35 really impressed me when I compared it to the other cars. Too bad my z is not that fast yet. Good Job!

I put all my car's fluids in my oil recycle container with the exception of coolant.
