ok..I just got my first Z. A 1983 Datsun 280ZX to be right.
But here is my question(s).
The car runs great sittin' still. When driving you can tell that the car is lacking power. It seems that it's missing but I don't think so. Was told that it was a lack of fuel pressure. But...
Sometimes when the car wants to you can really get on it and feel the power but then it falls off just a quickly as it came. The car itself only has 179,684 miles on it...really young compared to some that i've seen. And the others really moved!!
I know that the miles on it is young...well maybe not THAT young but still...I really LOVE this car, the power is alomost UN-GODLY!! I mean, I'm used to rotory and four-bangers! So having this much power....
Also does ANYONE know what the compression supposed to be? was getting a reading of about 150-160 across the board. None was WAY off apart from each other, just about a few...2-4 psi apart.
Other than these the car is still in one piece...well alomost.needs body work but...you know how most people are with "sports cars". THEY JUST DON'T CARE!!
Please somebody help me!! I LOVE THIS CAR MORE THAN MY 1979 MAZDA RX7..and that car is SWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT!!!!
Any help would be great even if it just gets me going in the right direction!
