That looks really clean. I like the matte black look on the 2-tone. Nice ZX.

Nice, clean car. The gold rims set it off nicely.

That is a rare ZX indeed. Most were sold with every option box checked (because that's how Nissan shipped 'em).

It looks great in all of its 80's glory.

having no cruise or fuel injection really makes the engine compartment clean! You are running an air filter I hope?

Nice ride!

Guys, the OP, Ed, hasn't been here in almost a year. The only reason this thread came back is beacuse a spambot, elijah (post #4) brought it back.

Dangit! Sucker punched again by the spambot.

Of course, now that elijah and his post are gone there's a big hole in this thread's continuity.......

now it looks like gary revived it from the dead. :-)

Love these wheels. Let me know when you sell em!

See post #6........

my bad

Looks great, got a question. I got a free 81 280ZX with bad body and stripped out trany. Is that to original head that was fuel injected? On the intake ports it has cut outs for the fuel injecters to spray into the head. I am asking because I'm going to put that fuel injected engine in my 240 and run a carb set up like yours.
