seiferzero Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like the starter on my 1975 280z is going bad and before looking for a 280z starter I was wondering if there were any upgrades. I found another forum where someone mentions that a 300zx starter fits the 280z but it's an old post and no one ever went into detail or talked or asked about it after that one suggestion. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about doing this, would it just be a straight bolt on? Would it require any kind of rewiring? Should I just stick with a 280z starter? Thanks in advance!

munters Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 There are gear reduction starters direct plug in. Smaller, lighter, faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The 280ZX starters are gear reduction. Not a major reduction like the race engine types. That would be the simplest upgrade. Lighter and more effective. Actually, if you ask for a 75 280Z starter at a parts store you might get a ZX starter anyway. SKU consolidation.
