1983 Datsun 280ZX zx review from North America
"It may be rusty, but it's all mine.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter needed to be replaced.
It leaks oil.
The car stalls while driving at cruising speeds.
Three injectors are leaking.
General comments?
When I first test drove the car it felt like a lion ready to attack. I was amazed at the performance for such an old car. However after a good two weeks of driving the car that is when I noticed how much work was needed.
