S130Z Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Looking at the other pictures on the imageshack page of that 1979 turbo, I can see it 'appears' to be an NA engine with an added turbo on it. Good observation.... not much more to discuss on that then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Guys I have one of the last 280ZXs around. At least as far as I can tell. Looking in the Black Dragon Auto Catalog they show that the 280ZX ends at 6/83 and the last 6 digits of the vin being 757691. My 280ZXT on the little door plate has a production date of 7/83 and the last 6 digits of my vin are: 758761 i was wondering where i could compare vin numbers to get a general idea of how early my '79 is too, its got alot of hold over stuff from the later s30's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaxDallas Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i was wondering where i could compare vin numbers to get a general idea of how early my '79 is too, its got alot of hold over stuff from the later s30's Look on the site for FAST you can put your vin number in or if you post your vin number I have FAST setup and can give you the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i cant find any thing other than "look this car is fast" or "how fast should this car be" or something like that. i take it FAST stands for something but i cant figure it out. the last 6 are 117479 looking at bleach's ZXR list its alot earlier than any of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurePontiacKid Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dude, I love the lip on your ZX! what kind is it? do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre280ZX Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It was on the car when I got it. Right now it's laying in two pieces in the garage. Severe cone carnage split the thing down the middle. I was using West Virgina pin stripping (duct tape) to keep it together, but 4 cones on a wet track did it in. Plan to get it repaired, reenforced, and reinstalled for the upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorealsosurreal Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 This is my second 280zx:biggrin:, it is my daily driver. I bought her in June of 08. I am currently looking for a turbo parts car for a swap so, if you know of a rust bucket let me know!!! I have that rust bucket! its an 1983 turbo, it looks pretty good till you see underneath the car or start jacking it up by the pinch seem and the car starts to crush itself. oh well its my new Daily Driver till i get my 240z on the road. dont expect pictures! im happy to say then the 280zx will become my parts car because im greedy and want to turbo my 3.1L after ive driven it for a couple years. just put in new injectors and had a clutch put in as well, and she runs like a top. if only some one would trade me a p90 for my p90a... i also had an 82 280zx but it went under the knife like a year ago for parts.
