ThaPimpShrimp Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone, I'm looking for a 1982-1983 280zx, preferably with a turbo and the T-5 manual transmission. I have been looking into these cars for a while now, and I have always been in love with the Nissan Z cars. I figured this would be a good one to start with to get into racing. I am 17 years old and looking to get into a little bit of track racing, I am looking for anything that you guys are willing to give me to feel free to post whatever you have. A bit of rust is not a problem, and interior really doesn't matter either, so long as is has most of the parts it needs to run. So if any of you are willing to help me out here I would really appreciate it. I don't have much money so free would be really amazing, or maybe we can work something out. I live in northern/central California, about 45 minutes north of Sacramento, and I can probably tow the vehicle. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and hopefully one of you can help me out and I can start working towards my dream! Edit: Also I will gladly take a non-turbo if that wasn't clear, I would just love the turbo version [: So again, post whatever you have I really appreciate your help.

Neverdone Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Cool that you want to get into racing. The S130 is a pretty good platform to build off of. Check craigslist if you're lookin to pick one up on the cheap. You do realize that racing is easily one of the most expensive things you can legally do right?

Yeah I definitely do, I just spent a day at Thunderhill raceway. I just wanted to get started and have some fun building a car because I love to do it. I'll also have a job pretty soon so that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If you want to really race an s130, try and get an early 79-80 one without Ttops and manual steering. Light as a feather. You can always swap in a turbo later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
