col Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi I'm from Australia, Im trying to get the 280zxt homologated over here in Aus for PRC Rally. I need info on how many 280zxt were sold, and over what years. I also need info on the full specifications of the car, something like a link to a site that has the nissan factory manual would be great, as they (cams Australia) asked that I supply a factory manual for the 280zxt and I don't have one. Any info is appreciated. Thanks Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger.svoboda Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 or you can buy one from courtesy nissan on cd. I found one at books4cars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks Guys I'll try and get the info from the web as long as it lets me download the lot. I will also check with cams as they may accept just giving them the site. You have all been very helpful and I hope this will be enough for them, or (I"LL BE BACK) asking for more help. Arnie joke.ha ha Thanks Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.mitchell69 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Yup,carfiche.com has the complete factory manuals for free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi again Gollum,I have a problem with the info on the site you sent. Although the info was great it did not single out sales of thr 280zxt as they did for the zxr. Cams wants me to prove how many 280zxt were produced and I have been told I need something exactly as you sent me , but with specific to the 280zxt. It would be great if you have any specific info, or do the 280zxt just get thrown in with the NA versions, if so I still have a problem proving the number of zxt sold. Thanks Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 There is a manual supposedly available on caffiche.com but it's listed as temporary unavailable,But i'll keep checking. Thanks Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.mitchell69 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Carfiche.com rotates the downloads coz the feed is limited,i got the 82 280zx FSM off there just yesterday within an hour of trying about 6 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenonxiii Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Have any of you even looked at the link I posted? The 81 turbo manual and the 82 manual is there all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Your site seems very informative. I've seen you do this on a couple of posts and it knida seems like your stepping on some toes a bit. THis is only my opinon. Disregard if no one else noticed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi xenonxiii. Yes I did look through your site and It's great with a heap of info. The download for the manual should be fine but I just wanted to check out the other manual just in case they had any different info. I should have thanked people personally rather than just "Thanks Guys", but please believe I do appreciate all your help. I am still unable to find sales numbers for the 280zxt. I know there were a heap sold and even if only one percent of the 280zx sold were turbo there would have been enough sold. Still Cams wants info on the sales of the 280zxt specifically , so if anyone can help it would be great. Thanks Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The best info I could give you would be this. Go to autozone's website (parts store) http://www.autozone.com/home.htm And under you vehicle selection tell them you have a 81-83 280ZX and they'll ask what engine. They'll have a precentage of how many were turbo or NA. You can double check it all for yourself, but this is what you'll get: With those percentages you should get a pretty accurate number of how many there were, and based upon how many 280ZXT cars I see around those numbers seem pretty accurate. There's lots of them, but certainly bellow 25% of the production. Not sure if that's official enough for you, but I've never seen concrete data on how many 280ZXTs there were as the weren't a limited production run, they were a trim level that saw huge figures.

col Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks I'll put that to Cams and see what they say. As you say the numbers of them around leave no question that there were enough sold but I suppose the guys from cams need the paperwork to add up just like any other big department. Thanks Col (Looks like I'm getting pretty close) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
