1982 Nissan/datsun 280zx


Recommended Posts

Hi all, it's been a fair while since I've been on here or for that matter anywhere near my car. Basically wanting to sell it as I work long hours so I simply don't have the time and energy for the attention it needs.

It does need a little TLC, nothing too serious. It has had the cylinder head replaced about 6-7 months ago and it hasn't been driven since i got it home so I definitely will need the head re-tensioned and that's why it's blowing just a little bit of blue smoke.

Apart from that it runs pretty good. I haven’t fired it up in about a month so I'd say the battery is probably gone flat.

Other little problems are a small dent in the drivers side door, and someone ran up my arse and so the right rear light is cracked and a little dented, but nothing too serious and not really all that noticeable. Apart from that the car is pretty much immaculate.

Have a full service and rego history spanning something like 10 years or more (I'll have to dig that out, I know it's somewhere in the living room :) .

It's got roughly off the top of my head about 250K on the clock (but I'll confirm the exact K's when I get home tonight).

It's Silver/black two tone. It's a series 2 but has series 1 rims. Happy to email pics to anyone, just email me.

Rego is until the later half of January 07.

I'm looking for $2K flat. The car is in Neutral Bay in Sydney.

If you are interested, please remember the car isn't running too crash hot due to it needing the cylinder head retightened so the best bet is to either drive it to a mechanic that’s close by (I can recommend a few good ones in the area, or have a tow truck).

Oh and it has been garage the entire time that I’ve owned it, and judging by the condition it was garaged for most if not all it’s life.

Any questions, feel free to contact me.

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
