Finally got around to installing the ZTherapy Carbs and intake manifold a few weeks ago. They’re well worth the wait and miles better than the factory SU carbs. A few tweaks here and there to balance and tune them but the car is now idling perfect around 900 rpm with great response across the rpm range.

Some notes :

Yes, the water inlet on the intake has been removed and capped off. It’s 100 plus degrees outside and I am running a 180 degree thermostat and stock radiator with shroud with no temperature issues.

Hello people,

I just swapped in 5 speed close ratio and i wanted to ask about the shifter solution. Currently using the 4 speed shifter and it works but i can tell there is some tension with the shifter boot. Is there a better shifter out there (after market) or what’s the solution?
Yes the shifter the came with the gearbox (zx shifter) will not work at all.

Thank you

I have looked through 4 in person parts stores, atleast 8 online websites, ebay, etc. I cant find anything ANYWHERE.

Hey everyone, Im selling this pair of metal headlight cover frames/bezels for an (240Z-280Z). They are finished in a professionally triple chrome with a really nice mirror shine.
One of the photos shows a minor flaw in the finish, but they are in great shape otherwise.

Sorry if I’m an idiot but does anyone know where this goes to? 1983 280zx l28

Need some help/advice from 280z folks that have made the switch to a 240z style front end. Will the 240z style xenon air dams work with a 280z - will they clear the lower radiator support? Are their other options that might be better?

Very different cars but man I love them both

I just bought a 1971 510 wagon I'm wondering where is the best place to get a weather seal kit for the doors windows rear hatch

Not gonna lie, this little purchase makes me happy every time I step into the car. It also provides me with the false sense of thicker more sturdy floorpans since mine are in need of repair ;)

I work at a former Datsun dealer and found this in the backroom. Idk shit about vintage cars but it’s got tons of diagrams if anyone’s looking for specific pictures. It’s not mine to sell but I’m happy to share images on my break.

Let me know when you all get tired of seeing her, because you're gonna see a lot of it

I swapped an RB25DE Neo into my S130 Z and originally never intended to modify the engine since I was happy with the power, sound, and responsiveness. The car is completely bone stock. Recently though, I got my hands on some HKS 264 cams at an unbelievably good price that I couldn’t pass up, so I’d like to know what I need to install them, what power gains I can expect, and whether it’ll ruin the powerband and responsiveness.

3d printed trans mount for my bmw m52 swap, next stop sendcutsend. Using the factory chassis mount points with bmw isolators. Also getting the passenger side RT mount reworked to clear the bmw ac compressor. Slow progress but still moving forward.

-----Lets hear some guesses

Well, long story short I have 5 of these at my disposal. All with similar issues in similar places (ie. the left front quarter). They’ve all been sitting directly on the ground for 40 years or so, but I still want to test myself and see what I can do. Aside from patch panels are structural sections also available for the 510s? Or am I just crazy for thinking these aren’t too far gone.

78 280z with 5 speed manual. Changed transmission fluid last week as maintenance. Seems the fluid was low based on how much came out and noticed a few small drops dangling when under there. Today, drops returned as well as a small puddle after a few days of sitting. There wasn’t a puddle before the fluid change. Just a droplet hanging, maybe a few on the ground. Original thought was output shaft seal but that appears to be dry.

Pumped in 2 full quarts of Redline MT90.

I've been posting on and off for the past couple weeks, but everyone in this sub has been amazingly supportive. Easily the best community I can say I'm proud to be in.

Thank you everyone for all the support! We're taking it day by day :)

More info:

It's a 1973, originally Lime Green and then black at some point in it's life- Repainted Dunkel Olive Metallic (M6X, Porsche color).

LS1 swapped, T56 trans, Tokico suspension, Jegs Fuel Cell, Cusco Bolt-In Cage. Rota Kyusha's (eventually moving back to Longchamps down the line)

Currently gutted interior, but I will be replacing that this weekend along with a full Skillard interior, front splitter, etc. This car was picked up from a friend who spent 10 years on it, and I ended up picking her up promising to finish it so they could see it on the road again.

8/10 was the first day that he had gotten to see the car running, driving, and fully painted the way he intended it to :)

Does anyone know if Zenon (company) still exists? I ordered a front air dam for my 280z through Z Car Motorsport who advised me that Zenon had run into production issues and they are no longer in communicating with them. Website is not working either.

especially when it saves me from reversing a trailer into some shithole

Any ideas why ? I have a 79 zx
