I have a 240Z, and basically your best bet is to get a good solid body first, that's the most important thing. The floor rot doesn't come from leaking door seals, but from a leaking cowl area ,the seams dry out, and over the years it get's blocked with dirt leaving water in there leaking slowly from the firewall to the floors. Getting a 240Z from a dry climate like California or Nevada, saves you alot of headache on body work.

As an ex-Datsun repair specialist, this is a very good, if not entirely accurate, overview of 240 "Zeds." Same stuff is true for the 260/280s, and the 280 finally got away from carburettors prone to vapor-locking, to EFI.

Nice review and good points to check. A couple small technical errors. The car being reviewed was either 72 or 73 model. Only the 70 model had Speedometers that started at 20mph and had 140psi Oil Pressure gauges. After 1970 the Speedometers start at “0” and the oil pressure gauge tops out at 90psi. Rust was not a problem with “Japanese Cars”. Rust was a problem with ALL Sports Cars in the 60’s and 70’s. My 911 rusted in the front pan and floorboards, so did any MG, Triumph, Fiat of the time. Most all American Cars suffered from bad rust in most States as well.

My parents had an ancient '77 Toyota Celica and a friend from the Midwest saw it and was so surprised. He said if a 70s Japanese car was in Iowa it would have rotted away from rust decades ago. My folk's car had no visible rust anywhere (and I had it up on blocks doing oil changes and brake jobs for them - I would have seen the obvious rust).

I wrenched at a Datsun dealer in the mid-70's till the early 80's. This video missed the #1 hidden rust issue seen on these cars: Front frame rot. I saw several 240/260/280 Z's with rust perforation in the frame between the front crossmember & the firewall. The fattest part of the frame in this area is where you should look for rust or repairs, even on otherwise rust-free cars. I remember a customer bringing in a like-new low-mile 260Z in 1977 for us to look at. The car was near perfect except for the severe rot in the front frame. Due to heavy factory undercoating, it didn't become visible until the rust had made the frame unsafe. The Datsun Zone Rep. was called it & agreed to pay for the frame rail replacement. I've seen cars so bad, that when the wheel was turned side-to-side, you could see the whole front-end sheetmetal move. Since factory replacement parts are unavailable, this repair would cost a lot of $ to fix correctly.

I have a perfect red 83 280zx with all the right options, analog gauges etc. Many improvements were made to the suspension, transmission and engine. These components often find their way into the earlier cars. Although lambasted by earlier car owners for being overweight and softly sprung, the difference is barely over 100 lbs and the suspension was more dialed in for longer trips 'ala gran touring. Aerodynamics in the ZX was greatly improved and you could get open air driving with the T top. Thank you Paul Newman for choosing the ZX.

Actually the dog legs rust from the inside out and often look fine from the outside, best to just cut them out and replace them, they have a panel. I welded a stronger plate inside, coated and gave it drainage. The reason for the rust there was no real drainage. Who cares about the hood and fenders, they make them or you can find used ones before any bodywork. Major rust spot is under the rear hatch, on the tailgate, behind the headlights and along the top of the gate is always rusted. They make the piece for that too.

My first X had a 280ZX Turbo. The ZX was known for relatively loose, sloppy, Americanized handling and steering. Not that it wasn't fun to drive as a Grand Tourer, but it wasn't the taught sports car that the 240, 260, 280Zs were. So in those I don't expect as much handling precision. Also, on those later ones, like those ZXs, beware of problems associated with the luxury touches Nissan/Datsun added, like the climate control. There were many vacuum lines, each one a potential leak, and since they were still using the chassis of the sports car the space to work on that stuff under there is nil, making it a source of learning to curse in Japanese.

Similar to the Mark 1 Celica in terms of styling--very pretty car and looks great from every angle.Weak review though, ' Look for signs of wear and tear'---what would you expect from a seventies car!

My dad has a 280zx. Does anyone know how much it would cost for a body paint? It’s exactly the same color as the car in the video. Thinking about painting the car to black or red. Maybe other colors

My oldest brother had this car and it sat in the yard for 7 years after his accident and then mother gave it away. Sad stuff

This car has triple Weber's. Take off the oil filler cap and let it sit loose. If it fly's off when you rev the engine you have blow-by, worn rings.

Just to be clear... this is a RHD car, and came standard with a 5-speed transmission.

My 72 was a North American LHD and if I recall correctly it was a 4 speed transmission.

Where can I find the engine? I was thinking of putting one in a future car.

Probably better off looking for another L6. The L28 was brilliant in its hayday, but at stock... it's not that powerful. It's definitely a tuner's gem to shine, however, if you put the time into it.
