wagon jon Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I own one! It is my daily driver. I've driven it across the U.S. in 17 different states with less than 150,000 miles on it. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKZX Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I just bought my first Z a few weeks ago; a 1980 280zx. Mostly stock performance, some Prosport gauges, exhaust with no cats, 4 7-inch HID lights, urethane air dam and a bit more. Working on an aesthetic restoration and then onto performance Sorry for the crappy picture. It's also a bit dirty from driving it back from Anchorage..

AKZX Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 haha i love the lights, very rally-esque but pleasssee polish those slots =) Ha, no doubt, I'll get that done as soon as this 3-day freezing rain storm is passed. Unfortunately it's my daily driver right now and I feel terrible for it when I have to drive it in the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostless Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 hey, akzx what condition is that thing in? I saw it on CL but didn't get it since I already have my "project." I'm stationed at FTWW but, I'm deployed right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKZX Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 hey, akzx what condition is that thing in? I saw it on CL but didn't get it since I already have my "project." I'm stationed at FTWW but, I'm deployed right now. Nice to see someone else close by in Alaska. It's pretty good. There are some minor things wrong with it, like some of the interior panels missing and some cracks, and a headlight out, wrong speedo sprocket and rear hatch hydraulics are a bit iffy. But overall it's good and has some good mods like exhaust, the 4 HIDs, upgraded headlight housing, Prosport gauges and a front air dam. I'm looking forward to it as a project car since nothing big is wrong with it. Right now I'm actually in the process of figuring out how to fit two Kicker 15" subs and one Punch 10". In my opinion, it was a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280zedxt Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) bought my 2nd one back in may, its an 82 turbo with only 110,00 miles on it, nearly rust free except of the battery tray Edited December 12, 2010 by 280zedxt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go 260z Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I'll add my name to this list....Fell in love with the z in 1970 but in school and could not afford one until 1978. Purchased a 1974 260z and still have it, althought it has been parked for 26 years. Startd to restore it about three month ago and hope to drive it in January 2011. When it is complete, I'll post a picture or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe87 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I got my 1980 ZX about three months ago, after searching the internet and saving for about 8 or 10 years. So far so stock, rockers are rusty and a couple small spots here and there. Getting ready to put on HP springs and shocks which should drop it about an inch, looking for some deep wheels to go with the drop. Also been talking to a guy I met on here about some other upgrades for my car. Its N/A for now I have been considering throwing a turbo on it eventually. Been replacing things as they break, all new belts, new aluminum radiator, just waiting on money to do the intake manifold and throw headers on it because the gasket for the manifold is bad and when the new motor (rebuilt with only 13K on it) got put in they used the old exhaust manifold and don't have the gasket on it. So a lot of work, not to much, the body work is probably going to cost me about 4K unless I can talk my friend into helping me out on it, but that would be to get it done right. Really excited about getting this car in the shape it deserves to be in and driven instead of sitting in a garage for 5 years( previous owner).

Jordon Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) I got my 1982 280ZX N/A 2+2 back in Febuary of last year. It was near stock when I got it, the only modifications that were made was a stereo that seems like your moving a truck when you have to open them. At the moment it is in pieces as I am at the begining of a very long project to make a killer twin turbo L-28. Very slow process as I am doing most of the work myself and have been teaching myself on the way. I drove it for about 6 months before it started to have problems and I miss the hell out of it every day I don't get to drive it. No pictures as of yet but as I start to get somewhere with my project I will be starting a project build thread to go along with it.
