My 77 280, has an LS and a 6 speed tremec. My only complaint is the exhaust smell inside with the windows down is brutal. I’ve read all the fixes and am slowly trying to diagnose. Fun to drive, but will be more fun when I can drive it without fear of passing out 😂

I have been wanting a mirror on the right side. Never could find a mirror that matched the OEM so I started looking for carbon fiber. These went on pretty easy overall.

Hi, ive been making various 3d models for the Datsun 280zx. Let me know what you think!

New owner of a 280z and looking to upgrade the exhaust.

Any advice for an exhaust that works with stock headers? Waiting to swap those until the future since it would require taking the intake off. (Convince me otherwise)

I love the futistubo sound and am looking for something that is not too bass-y.

This is everything we did to this Datsun 2000. Everything from custom upholstery, to upgraded stereo system, to paint correction. Check it out !

Have received conflicting information (while avoiding buying the replacements for $9 shipping) on sizes, but would prefer to source from a hardware store.

Plastic inserts that are glued inside each end of the chrome trim molding along the bottom of the door windows. Getting my trim powder coated and know I partially broke one while removing it. Old plastic that is attached via glue ain’t ideal.

Bought new ignition wires bc the one in the second picture looked worn. Put the new ones on and car doesn’t want to idle right. Put the old ones on car runs and drives fine.

Hey guys I made a copy of the skillard headlights and some restomod taillights. Would anyone be interested in getting a pair or?

I just wanted to show people my Datsun

I’m sorry idk if this breaks community rules but I’m looking to get the Karin 190z in gta online.

I've been chasing an intermittent ignition misfire for weeks and I'm completely stumped.

A timing light shows the coil lead has a consistent misfire. It also shows cylinder #2 misses far more often than the other three cylinders, and an adjustable spark tester confirms #2 will sometimes have a weak spark or no spark at all.

Everything is original.

So far I've replaced:

Spark plugs

Plug leads

Distributor cap

Rotor

Condenser

Ignition coil

I've also checked:

Points gap is set to spec and consistent on all four cam lobes.

Swapping plugs and leads doesn't move the fault from #2.

Distributor shaft has no play or wobble, and the cam lobes have no visible wear or taper.

Distributor feed-through terminal and internal wiring don't have any intermittent shorts.

Distributor cap terminals and rotor button show no signs of wear or damage and are not burnt or corroded.

I've also checked voltage at the coil which is within spec, and I've wiggled all ignition related wires and connectors with no change or difference.

What I can't understand is why it mainly affects one cylinder. If it were something like the coil, condenser or ballast resistor, I'd expect all four cylinders to be affected rather than predominantly #2.

Has anyone come across a points ignition system doing this before, or have any ideas what I should be checking next?

I'm having a heck of a time locating the square fender clips for the side marker lights. For clarification, I'm talking about the clips that receive the screw that holds in the side marker lights. I don't know what to call them nor where to find them online or irl. Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone found some really cool wall art for sale that I could hang in an office? Hopefully 240z stuff.

For attention, here is a pic of me taking my gas tank out this weekend for a new one.

List it on eBay?

I noticed that the end of my driveway would have a sizable puddle and leave a trail of where I just drove. I looked under the car and saw that the boot was ripped and fluid was pouring out when I poked it. For some reason, it doesn’t leak all the time as there is no trail in my garage or driveway, only at the bottom when I turn to the right. Is this fixable with getting a new boot? Or is there a bigger problem? Any help would be great.

I'm installing a headlight relay system so I modeled these round connectors that plug into the harness because I couldn't find them online and I didn't want to cut up my stock wires. They take a 4mm bullet in the large position and a 2.5mm bullet in the small positions.

Just dropped a few new Datsun tees on the website.

Head over to DATSUNSHOPCO.com to see more, have several new ones to choose from.

New Grills, Strut braces will be available soon. shoot me a message if interested.

Enjoy!

When I bought my Z it came it a new(I think) Colgan Custom Car bra still in the box. I'm sure it was used a couple times but the leather looks good no tears. I'm sure someone in this community would love to have it. PM me if interested. Price $60 plus shipping.

Hey y'all I've been hunting for a 240z. Found one recently that has been sitting uncovered for a long time. Engine runs, but not on its own tank (fuel pump?) Although its here in texas, the guy sent me pictures of the rust.

The real concerning one i saw was some rust holes in the roof lid, about an inch north of the windshield. The rest looks like mostly surface rust and maybe some pan involvement...

Definitely a project car. But has a four speed manual. Supposedly only has 60k miles.

Figured id ask the pros... 😉 so what do yall think?

I am looking for a distributor on my 74 260 and all I can find are one for a 70-73 260. Would that work if not does anyone know where to find a good priced one. This is my first restoration and first time working with something this old so any and all advice is appreciated
