1981 Datsun 280ZX Turbo review from North America
"Spectacular car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Value on the turbo acts up when the car is not warmed up. Otherwise all I've had to replace is the front passenger running light and the windshield wipers.
General comments?
I love this car. Even though it's an automatic, it still has more pick-up and go than most cars on the road. I don't really race it, I just get to the speed limit at a fast and comfortable pace. All I've had to do is have the fuel injection cleaned out.
