1982 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Radiator leaked

Water pump broke

Boot cable snapped

De-mister button stopped working

Electric Aerial stopped working

Gearbox fell to bits

1 injector cracked

Dash cracked.

Love the car. Bought a 200sx a few months back, but am selling it to pursue my love of 280zx's. Plan on getting another one soon, in much better nick, just to drive while this one is off the road.

I have replaced nearly everything that has gone wrong with this car, and am in the process of sanding the car and fixing some holes and rust in order to paint it up nicely.

The car has been running on 5 cylinders for some time due to the cracked injector, I have plans to put an SC14 (Toyota 6 cyl supercharger) on the car early next year and do a complete engine rebuild with forged pistons, tougher rings, valve angle grind, programmable injection, and other things that I can't think of right now.

Hi..Don't blame you for the bad points. I have an 82 zx and have only got probs with the economy... I have to get it tuned every 3 months or so... Parts wear, and that is to be expected, but generally, I love this car and will never leave her!!! Stick with it, Mate!!!...There are more good than bad points!!! Nick.

Sounds like the ZX hooked you too. I also have an 82' with problems, but fixable. I want to put a super charger on it, but I have a non turbo, can this still be done. I like this L28, I would hate to have to pull it just because I want to make the car go faster.

Thanks
