I got my car one year ago and it's a 1981 280ZX 2 plus 2 non-turbo Edition. The car went and rode very well for the first year with only 46 original thousand miles on it. Since then I've made some modifications to it and made it a little my own and added about 10-15k MI to it. The car has worked...

on the old ignition on my 1983 280ZX it had 2 extra wires, when I bought a new ignition it didn't have the wires for those 2 from the car, the starter relay clicks but it does not turn over the motor. Are those wires for antitheft purposes? and where can I get my hands on a Ignition switch?

hey all, recently been reviving an 81 280zx and have had amazing progress so far but have had to do lots of work on fuel pump in the past, and with a new billet aluminum fuel rail/pressure reg installed i wanted a new pump to go with it to compensate for the higher (and yes i know slightly...

I've recently installed my 123ignition distributor into my 81 280zx, while doing so, I believe I shorted the entirety of the ignition harness from the coil back to the switch. When turning the key, nothing activates, no relays can be heard, the fuel pump does not prime, the engine does not...

Looking for one 280zx piston, flat top, standard size, from an 81-83 ZX. Stamped P79 on top.

I'm getting quite close to (hopefully) running my '81 ZX for the first time, but I'm having concerns about how I've run my fuel lines to the fuel rail. Since the fuel rail I mounted needs to have the fuel pressure regulator mounted elsewhere, and I can't find a location for that, I stuck the...

Looking for the fuel tank sending unit for 1979 to 1983 280zx. Condition is not the main concern, but would prefer if it was in working order. I am restoring a 1980 280zx and it does not currently have one. I am searching scrap yards ad well, but hoping this might be faster.

I was able to find a 1980 280zx with no major body damage or rust. All original interior, and even a louver. Sadly it is missing a dash pad. I am quickly realizing these are going to be very hard to replace. I have found a shop that can fab one, but they need one to create a mold, which as we...

I just bought my 83' 280ZX and it has the normal 40y/o car issues with the engine and I'm looking to restore it to it's old glory. To start I find a couple problems off the bat, the coolant recovery reservoir/tank has a pretty bad crack in it and so does the wiper fluid tank and all the OEM ones...

I recently inherited an 83' 280zx from my grandfather, it runs and drives but I am going to start restoring it.

Hello ZCAR community, We just inherited a 1983 Datsun 280zx non turbo from our grandfather. There's a lot of memories attached to this vehicle so we want to do right by our grandfather and get this car running again. I know we have to replace the fuel rail as well as the injectors, they both...

working on removing my 280zx's gas tank but unfortunately, the nuts holding the straps up are seized. I've sprayed them with at least half a bottle of WD-40 and some other penetrating oils but all was in vain as the nuts are still stuck. I'm only working with combination wrenches because the...

I'll explain quick. I just replaced the head gasket on my 81 280ZX. While I had the head out, I decided I was going to replace the old trumpet style fuel rail with a billeted aluminum one. In total that was about all I did. Everything is back together now and on the test drive everything went...

finishing up the vacuum lines on my N/A 1981 280zx, ran into a problem figuring out where these few bits in red go. Looked everywhere over the internet for good pictures to show me where they lead to but everything tends to get tangled over the valve cover and I can't figure out what goes to...

I have had my 83 Turbo ZX for over 16 years (in my garage) - as with most project cars, work, kids, and life have placed it squarely on the back burner for way too long. Around 2010 I overhauled the engine and replaced many of the internal parts - also swapped out the pathetic 3 speed automatic...

Well, this should be easy enough to describe. My 1981 280ZX is having a bit of a starting issue. At rest, the vehicle usually hangs out around 14 volts. When I turn the key to run. The starter sounds like it turns over once normally and then becomes haggard and battery voltage drops down to...
