Committing the sin of replying to my own comment. Adding some context. This was about 99-00 (I am old). I do not know if this was a relocation or if it is how they all were, but a major computer module was located under the passenger seat. This plus leaky t-tops equals disaster. Luckily the guy that sold it to me had an enormous "soon" collection of parts that included a spare of that same module. Crisis averted, but moved on with my life not long after.

I had a 280z as my first into Z cars. Loved it in theory and learned to do a lot mechanically to fix it up, but man those cars came dosed in brine water from the factory I swear. Definitely used to buy stuff from the Z store too that would come wrapped in Japanese newspaper for shipping.

[@stephen3164]

Sold a car on marketplace. Had a family come look at it for their kid. Mom literally said “So, the blue book value on this ‘92 is $1,000, so…” - I cut her off right there and said blue book doesn’t apply to cars from the 90’s. I bit my tongue to not tell her the car was 30 years old, bc yeah, she can do the math, but a 30 year old car in your mind is OLD, but a 90’s car “is like 10 years old” in my mind. 😅 (I was asking $8k, and took $7k - from an out of state buyer. That lady pulling the blue book value for negotiating still cracks me up.)

@@brawdz31 - SVX, leather, awd, white w/ black top and spoiler. Grey interior. Zero rust, everything sorted mechanically. Good paint. Definitely not a $1k car. I sorta missed the market when they were selling for $10k+ on BaT, but figured a 90’s Japan touring car was a future classic! Unfortunately Subaru didn’t think to make a supply of replacement parts for the car - radiators, wheel bearings, and steering racks in short supply.

[@nathanchildress5596]

Nearly bought one of these, went with a 1984 MK2 Supra instead, but these are one of the few classic cars that you still see running and are still affordable.

[@JarofMayonaise]

I had a '79 280ZX non-turbo for a few years. I even delivered pizza in it for a bit. I can tell you from experience that eastern NC does NOT have many Z's in salvage yards and what is left has been picked clean (many years since I last visited). I ended up rear ending someone in Wilson and bent the frame. My brother and I gutted it and used it as a farm toy for a bit. It's amazing how much faster a car is when it's gutted.

[@jonahadams5465]

My best friend bought a 280zx non running for $600. He didn’t have room for it so I offered up my driveway. After a few months and a few thousand later it’s a certified ripper when it wants to stay running and if you overlook all the rust 😂

[@Archetype_Datsun]

My first car was a 1981 280zx slicktop non turbo. Fun car even as an NA I later bought a 83 280zx turbo that was in bad shape was being drifted in Sacramento. I swapped the drivetrain from it into my 81 except I left my R200 3.90 diff. Was fun drove it for a good while sold it in 2013 and got a 79 Datsun 810 Wagon. Many Datsuns later I now own a 72 Datsun 521 pickup with a carburetored KA24E with 240z SUs slightly modified, 74 Datsun 610 sedan, still own the 810 wagon, have also a 82 Datsun Maxima sedan with a L28ET turbo engine from a 280zx and a 87 Nissan Van 5spd.

[@AdamantineAxe]

I had a two-tone blue with silver 1980 280zx non-turbo 2+2 as a second car. Added the wing window cable controls from a two-seated and an oil cooler from a turbo. Emissions removed, cammed, headers, wide-throat throttle body. I had a potentiometer driven by the throttle linkage that was in-line with the coolent temp sensor to enrich depending on throttle angle. Over 1200 hydrocarbons at idle, had to have a section of straight pipe to swap for the catalytic converter after passing emissions testing because the carpet over the tunnel would get crazy hot if you idled too long

[@boydgrandy5769]

In the middle 70's, while stationed on Guam, I bought a '74 240Z, the last 240Z model before all of the US imposed pollution regs. It ran like fire. There is one highway on Guam that runs from the northeast corner of the island to the main town of Agana, 12 or so miles long, that we used to run late at night. 4 speed manual, would do 90 in 2nd, and topped out at just under 160mph. But it was on Guam, so in the 2 years that I owned it, the body literally disintegrated. Sold it for what I paid for it, bought a Mazda pickup. Probably saved my life getting rid of it. The guy that bought it, also a sailor on Guam, spent huge wads of cash to fix the body, complete with repaint back to its original bright orange. Then he wrapped it around a coconut tree one night, doing what we were doing before I sold it. High speed, low drag to the end.

[@csj9619]

I've always liked the Z cars, from 240Z all the way to 400Z. Had pals that owned a variety, so had fun riding in 'em. The Z31 (300Z) is probably my favorite.

[@jblox1990]

These are cool cars and make excellent platforms, especially for their era. The proof is in the S130's very successful tenure in various types of sanctioned auto racing. They got a bad rap because the debut 1979 model year had some strange design choices going on- Steering box and Cadillac style suspension come to mind. All of this was corrected by 1981, but they shit the bed again in 1983 with that pneumatic head. S30 guys like to talk a lot of shit, but it's hard to take them seriously when they're busy ripping the engines, transmissions, turbo and fuel delivery components and every other fucken thing out of S130's to use in their cars. The S130 is a great jumping off point for a killer oldschool Z build.

Do some 280s have covers over the lights or are they all recessed like that? Gotta have AAA! Even the Platinum is worth it if you have sketchy cars. It's unlimited towing for like 200/year. I bought it once just to get my truck towed 50 miles, and they were totally cool with me using it a few days after I got it (their CS rep actually recommended doing it). 11:22 I actually saw a white one near my office this week. Needs a restore but it's rare to see a 280 at all in MD outside of car shows and the like.
