    Interesting factory 280zx stereo

    I bagged this interesting factory RHD stereo for the 280zx. I have seen the LHD spec stereo with the digital tuner display but never this one which is laid out differently. The LHD one has labelling on the faceplate laid out to make things better visible for the driver seated on the left side as...

    280zx power steering pump

    From an 83 280zx. This is the later style pump for the rack and pinion rack. Worked perfectly when taken out of service recently. £25 plus postage or pickup from Reading. Alternatively I can take my ZX for a drive and drop it off if somewhere close.

    Datsun radio/tuner

    Not strictly Z related so keeping as a discussion. Looking to source a Datsun cassette and tuner combo to fit an early 80s Datsun Cedric, 280C or similar. Pics below are examples of what would work with the black face and the two complementary sizes - even just the larger unit alone would be...

    280zx cable operated side windows

    Adding another thing into my car that I don’t really need and cannot justify. It’s another thing I have always wanted as an option in my car so I decided to just go for it. This is of course the factory cable operated side window mechanism. I source the bits from across the Atlantic and have...

    Please get in touch with me if you are seeking a decent project car to carry out a restoration on. I have a 1980 280ZX which I drive regularly but it is at a stage where it needs a strip down, blasting and bits of rust attending to. Solid underneath (restored in the 90s) but non structural rust...

    280zx heater valve alternatives

    Hi All, I am tackling the seemingly common issue of leaking heater matrix water valve. I can see that the original parts are quite expensive and prone to fail again at some stage (Although the one in the car has lasted this long!) Do we know of any modern equivalents that have been used in the...

    Winter Drive

    I had taken it off the road for winter. Smiles all the way to work with a slight feeling of regret due to salt on the road. Assume that most of you take better care of your Z’s and avoid driving in winter (even the milder winters).
