1981 Datsun 280ZX review from Puerto Rico
"Pure adrenaline"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought my 280zx turbo I was excited of how strong the car was, but the bad news is that I've broken 2 differentials drag racing. He runs at 20 psi. The head has been ported and polished, the valves have also been polished and I installed a racing cam and the block has a.40 overbore and engine balancing. Where can I get a strong differential for my overpowered 280.
General comments?
Gotta love the old-school look. Has a bit of rust, but this is my bait for the new-school cars. When the stop light turns green its bye, bye to who ever is on the side. Best car I've ever had.
