Hi guys... Sorry it has taken me ages to get back on here, been so busy. Anyway... I have made a sad decision to sell the datsun. I just dont have the time or space to do her up like she deserves at the moment. If anyone is interested let me know. If no takers then I dont really...

Hi Derrick... that looks amazing! I am inspired to do mine so nice now! Job well done.

Rob, thats what I thought... then took a look here - Search results for 'datsun 280zx' - How Many Left? Not sure if I am reading it right but looks like there are less than 20 left on the road!

Ped... just had a look at your exhaust thread... I think I will probably get one made... now to find someone local who does it... Z cars perhaps.

Thanks guys! I did a bit of research and seems the 2 seater manuals were pretty uncommon. Something like 650 or so in the UK?? I am debating what to do with it now. I am renovating an old house, so my options are - 1. Keep it in my garage until I get the funds to restore. 2. Use house...

Mr F, I will do that! I am away working for another month so will be some time before I get in to it as I am renovating a house too, but I was wondering where to get parts... now I know! Thanks very much. Luke

Thanks Mr F. It has been dry stored so I dont think it is too bad. I may be wrong when I start digging, but fingers crossed. I will take a look on your site for parts! Luke.

Hi Rob, We had the engine running when I went to see it... albeit very rough. There is an issue with the fuel pump apparently so just had to squirt some fuel in to get it to turn over. When I get it in the workshop I will give it a good service and tidy up and see what happens. It needs a...

Hi tel240z, thanks for the reply... yes it is 2 seater. There are 2 storage boxes in the back. It is really solid which is nice. The headlining has come away on the drivers side, but that will be an easy fix I should think. The bodywork is nice, surface rust on a few panels but no major...

Hi guys, Sorry if this post is in the wrong place or format... Im new here after finding an '81 280ZX coupe in a shed on a local farm after a tip off from a chap in the pub... Here are a few photos and I would be interested to know what anyone thinks as I have absolutely no experience with...
