Sonethirty Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Well I'm finally getting my Z from storage down south in a few weeks. I have a pile of goodies sitting in the garage waiting for it. I'm psyched. OT: Has anyone purchased or can vouch for the stainless steel brake line sets they are selling on ebay for the zx? Like these. Or better yet, Here. Edited July 10, 2010 by Sonethirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a manual 5 speed and has a P79 cylinder head. The vin number is JN1HZ04SODX579494. My question is, What year it is? Thank You.

Gollum Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I was about to say "now who in hell would do a swap like that?" but after reading it I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkH Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Here are two of mine. 1982 2+2 owned since 1990 and the 83 turbo since 93. I am in the middle of repainting the 83 gold again. I have a lot of others and parts (zxman.com is my site but I currently have it down). Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchetypeDatsun Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This is weird I saw this website of a guy who had a 81 280zx turbo 5 speed with a 12 injector set up. When you click the link you can read the description of the car's upgrades and at the very bottom is the photo album where it has pictures of the engine. http://www.motortopia.com/cars/1981-datsun-280zx-5791 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motor-ray Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well, time to stop lurking! I signed up yesterday to the forum and have enjoyed reading your posts. I bought a 1982 280ZX N/A with an automatic this past spring for $250 bucks! Unfortunately, my company re-org'd about three weeks after I bought it and I found out I was being relocated (but happy to still have a job and still working for a good company). So I rushed through getting the brakes to work and the car running so I could load it on a car carrier. Finally got settled in Louisiana and am now starting to work on the car. I have the front suspension apart and am installing urethane bushings all the way around, ball joints, tie rod ends, Tokico blues, and 1" lowering springs. Overall, the car is in fairly good condition. Very little rust (a little around the windshield), a couple of minor dents and hail damage. My plans are to eventually do a SBC swap with a manual transmission (if I can dig up enough info). If not, I have a free automatic at my disposal. For now I just want to get it on the road and start driving it! I plan on starting to do some auto cross and then graduate to some track days. I have had a fair amount of track time but it was all on motorcycles. List of projects on this car: finish front and rear suspension rebuild figure out low speed miss, adjust valves, and check timing new wheels and tires (need help figuring out what will fit fit with current suspension) get power windows to work rebuild power steering rack, pump, and lines strip out interior, replace carpet, install roll bar, paint interior panels black (currently very worn red), racing seats/harnesses body and paint work to include front and rear valences and possibly a spoiler My hope is to use all of your experiences to build the car with as little pain as possible so please feel free to pass along any advice you have to the newbie! (please excuse the low res cell phone pics. These were taken as I was getting ready to load the car for shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
