Look what I bought today.....

I found my donor and bought it for an excellent price. I just bought a 83 280ZXT. The motor, oil pressure, temp... is all good. I bought it for $750 and for and extra $50, the owner(cool guy) even towed the turboed Z to me. Damn I don't know if it just me but this thing really boost nice. No fuel cut or vacuum leak. I think this is the best investment i've done so far for my 240Z. check it out... thought I share it with the Z community.

That looks like a nice car. What's your plan for the body after you remove the engine? I've been looking for a decent ZX body. I have a great drive train in a badly rusted body.

Very nice, where did it come from?

[EScanlon]

Well I misunderstood, and missed the "donor" part.

OUCH! That's almost too nice to be a "donor"...it deserves a life of it's own....

But that's just my 2¢

As happy as I am for you man, I'm with E on this one.

That's a car I'd cruise in as a daily-driver to just use my first-gen as the weekend warrior, . But hey that's just me!

I'm biased though... I've got a soft-spot for the ZX's... especially the second-gen turbos.

Actually... that's sort of my plan... Get my S30 280 lookin' all nice and spiffy, then acquire a 280zx turbo to beat around in during the week.

[Datsun_Mike]

yeah I sorta agree with you guys about it(280ZX) not deserving life but I gotta do what I gotta do... be faster! About the ZX after the swap... I'm gonna post it up for sale, like $300 but if you're really good at lowballing with good reasons I might lower the price or trades for sumthin like Z32 turbos, or some aftermarket part that'll do good for my swap. The ZX isn't perfect though. The frame is a floor pan is bent like a mofo because one of the owners before couldn't use jack stands for shiet. I hope i'll like the outcome of this swap.
