JacktheRiffer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Im looking at getting a 280zx turbo from 1983 and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of reliability for a stock car? My family seems to think that they are complete junk...However I have read that they are very reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacktheRiffer Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 If it helps in factoring this in the car has only had 3 owners and has 169,667 miles...I assume that's pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran my car for years on 12psi with a front mount intercooler, FPR, Walbro 255lph and big exhaust and still had 140psi compression on all 6-cylinders. Car was quick and seriously fun.

afbrian13 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I tossed an 81 motor and trans completely stock in my 76 a few months back. Its has about 140,XXX on the motor, runs great (for a stock N/A) and hasn't given me a sputter even through the winter at sub-30deg days. Who ever heard of a Nissan/Datsun I6 ever being anything but rock solid? I'd buy it. Matter of fact, I'd love a 83 as a daily so I could have t-tops!

bens1088 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Too reliable... I drive my s130 less than a few hundred miles a year and it runs like a champ every time. (Completely stock) My 911 on the other hand... don't drive it often enough and it's problem after problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
