The last formal PO of my car had her just 3 jweeks!!! Then decided an MG V8 was better for parts supplies and less hassle to deal with.

Better parts supplies ttssshhh! you buy a Z because, well....... its a Z, not for convenient parts supply, wheres the fun in that!

Nice! The tea tray on the rear hatch needs to go though!

I'd like a 280zx 2-seater in the stable one day.

The tea tray is it's main feature apparently and was fitted for homologation reasons, get rid of that and its not a ZXR.

Shame it's not a turbo.

What is the ducting coming over the cam cover to the oil filter?

That ducting is a cooling system for the injectors.

Thanks, is it driven off the alternator?

Good idea for carbs?

 

[Huw]

Dunno about a good thing for carbs Rob.

Its driven by an electric motor I believe. System not fitted on UK cars, too cold and damp maybe over here.

Did not Alan Maltby have one on his 280ZX

Another, better looking, less expensive but further away : https://www.ebay.com/itm/383461156143

What I'm surprised to see is that the chassis code (of a LHD car) reads "HS130"....and not "HLS30" !

Can anyone explain why please ?

S130s don't have the 'L' in the VIN, it is still in the model code though.

Peculiar - no ?

 

[Mr Tenno]

Peculiar - no ?

I think they stopped doing it after the S30s

This is how the 280zx (S130) and 300zx (z32) Numbers crumble
