Driving video 280z triple Webers

[@starman5872]

That's my Dream car... I can't stop watching this car growl... the triple Webers are the best sounding carbs on this car...

[@stevesloan7132]

I've always wanted to ride in one of those. Thanks for taking me along!

[@sj119808]

I watch this from time to time as well, makes me regret selling it!

@@sj119808 YOU SOLD IT? BRUH.

Beautiful car mate! My biggest regret is not getting a 280 when I should have. Rectifying that this fall, picking up a L28, taken out of an old short Patrol. Getting a cheap diesel Laurel which will serve two functions, it has a LD28 engine so I can use the crank from it in the L28, but I can also use the Laurel itself as a build & test platform for the engine, daily it for a year or two and make sure it beds in properly, then get a Z shell.

The most beautiful thing I ever heard! Even my old 1983 RX-7 Wankel didn't sound that good!

[@garagetherapy2745]

That dash clean as hell!

[@deborahchesser7375]

A classic as fine as any other car of that era, due to perfect timing, I just couldn’t get my hands on one and its way tougher now. 400 or so hp and 5-6 gears would be quite the machine.

Sweet old school ride bro 👌

[@ggletsplay5041]

The gauges are amazing. Wish modern sports cars were that minimalist and clean. Hopefully manufactures will learn screens suck!

[@chatgentil9870]

im in love with this car.

[@MrSakamotothecat]

Beautiful sound

[@Travis_cerny86]

sounds crisp

I used to have 260Z.1974.

[@thebluecollarbadass9945]

I owned one with triple Mikuni carbs the eighties were fun times ❤🙏🏽

[@drewnicest4319]

Nice scenery where is that?

[@texasapex3039]

Man I need to get mine running again, I missed that every single drive felt like an intense race and you haven't even pushed it yet

[@barbararicciuto-ns4xl]

My dream car, 1973.

[@stevesisavathkeo9791]

Look semilar my 260Z.

[@dosh8276]

Man, I wish I could afford one. Sadly, their prices skyrocketed these last years.

[@starman5872]

Same man, when I was 15 (when I discovered this car) they were 2 time cheaper, now im 21 and if the price would have stayed the same i could afford one... but no we gotta pay for the hipe... Depends where you live, in the USA they are still considered cheap but where im from in france its 40k for a clean example, 20k for one with minor restoration to do but they are rare ASF...

[@dosh8276]

@starman5872 I'm from France too. The cheapest solution would be to import it, but knowing that France is a place where you can't have fun as a car guy, registration would probably be a nightmare.

[@starman5872]

@dosh8276 actually for a car that is éligible to be "collection" it's not that hard, maybe 900 of taxes and then you submit a request at the ffve. The car has to be mostly stock, but this prevent having to go through all the homologation stuff and the mines wich is a pain in the ass... the most complicated part is finding a good car at the other part of the world, and then finding a company worthy to bring it back... I wish you the best of luck! There are lots of forum wich will give you more information in case.

[@dosh8276]

@@starman5872 I'm not really planning to have a 240Z because I know it's completely out of my reach in this current economy, I don't make that kind of money either. I'll be 20 this year, I got a car oriented job, but I'm paid minimum wage (first job so it's understandable). I currently have a 1989 190E in decent enough condition to use as my daily. I gradually restore it and I'm pretty happy with it for now. I'll see to find a "sunday drive" car later in the future if I manage to reah financial stability.

[@doca8792]

Gotta love that Mercedes straight-6

[@otakuace5492]

Nice sound! Did you performance this engine? i just bought a 240Z with L28E88 engine

[@prigo9119]

What transmission does this car have?

[@knowhere4361]

that exhaust in gnarly. what’s your setup?

[@sj119808]

Thanks! It was a Z Story full exhaust with their headers.

[@knowhere4361]

@@sj119808 was? you got rid of this car? no way

[@hhout9242]

What is gas mileage when cruising?

[@georgeramos1462]

Were you test driving this Z prior to purchase? Also the oil pressure seemed low at idle? But SEXY as hell!

[@andrewb3497]

As the Temp gauge showed it was already warmed up the oil pressure would be lower that at cold start. It is recommended to fit an oil pump from a L28 turbo to get better pressure.

[@sj119808]

I was driving for a video when I sold it on BaT a while back. Miss the car a lot, not gonna lie.

[@razorrob2959]

Carbs on a 280! Did you do a conversion?

[@sj119808]

Yup! EFI to triple Webers. Sold the car since though.

[@richardkleihorst1304]

danger! no oil pressure!

[@ikcus]

no shit.

[@guidog3011]

L Oil pressure looks kind of low

悪魔のZだ。。。

[@zombywoof1072]

Don't "shuffle" the steering wheel. You should always steer hand over hand. I see the "granny shuffle" over and over on YT.

[@sj119808]

Or… you steer how you want to steer and I’ll do the same.

[@zombywoof1072]

@@sj119808 Sure, no hard feelings, but the worst way to steer is the granny shuffle with uneven hand spacing. The next best is the pseudo-3 and 9 shuffle. Some misguided people recommend it because ...mercy... what if the airbag deploys and your arm is in the way? But shuffling of any kind is the best way to get in an accident. The next best is hand over hand. High performance... the only way to go is fixed grip 3 and 9. Watch a NASCAR driver. F1 cars don't even have a round wheel. It's up to you to be insulted or improve. Golf, baseball, shooting... there's right and wrong. Do things right and you'll get more out of the nice car you've got with the small diameter wheel. Which is what you're doing a lot of the time anyway.
