Nice ride (but it is a 280Z

[XYZ]

Found this on Ebay. Looks like a real nice rehab job. I guess it should be for 30K invested :dead: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2400719599&category=6187

Great looking paint job!

That car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Well worth what he is asking and it is a 280 so that means he has good taste.:classic:

The car looks so nice, but these bumpers ...

Me neither, but I do know one thing.....................It would NOT have those UGLY bumpers anywhere near the car when I was done. Yeeccchhh!!!!!

I had the same thoughts. The big bumpers do nothing for the body lines of the early Z. I like the way he did his amplifier mounting. Could have done a better job with the subwoofer and front speakers but not bad anyway. ALso I don't normally like the big front air dams but it really fits in this case. Maybe it makes the bumpers look smaller?

are little things like this

"Eccel Programmable Brain for Racing," "Port and Polished Big Head  Big valves (12 to 1 Compression) ,"

he also says a 2.75 inch exhuast but has a chambered muffler?? with 12:1 comp??

whats a big head ?

here is his run down

 Eccel Programmable Brain for Racing (Adjustable Timing, Fuel Flow & Idle) includes a copy of the program on a floppy and a manual.  Cold Air Induction  Large Throttle Body  Strut Bar  Optima Battery  High Lift Cam  4 Core Radiator  Powder Coated Intake & Exhaust Manifold (Runs Cooler)  9 Qt. Oil Pan (15/50 Mobile One Synthetic)  Performance Headers (2 into 1)  2 ¾” Exhaust  16” Panasport Wheels (New Tires)  $5,000 Paint Job (Orange)  Port and Polished Big Head  Big valves (12 to 1 Compression)  Krane PS 91 Electric Coil  Krane Ignition 437 Limited Slip Differential (For Racing)

excuse me for maybe being wrong but when did they make a 437 lsd???

says the car is currently programed to be driven daily. since when can you run 12:1 engine on pump gas????

just a few umm indescrepancies(sp?)

Must have bought a barrel of racing gas at probably 3-6 dollars a gallon to mix with high test........or maybe he has access to some "extra" barrels of avgas

4.37 r&p's were available for years from Nissan Motorsports, might still be some out there, but anything lower than 4:11 seems to be getting hard to find. They also has 4.62, 4.87 and a 5.14..........The Nissan 4x4 pickups had a 4.37 from the factory,

and LSD's were only another 700+ if you wanted one bad enough.....

I agree with you guys about the bumper. They should have "accidently" forgot to put it on all together. The other thing I'm surprised about is leaving or adding that chrome trim along the running board area of the body (below the doors). I have that crap on my car and I will remove it when it goes to the paint shop in the future. Pretty nice car though.

Let's see so they invested 30K and the bid is currently at 11.7K...... that's some return!

Could anyone notice if the suspension looked modified. It's hard to tell but it doesn't look like they refreshed or did much to the suspension as it's still kind of rusted and no shiners from wrench work. Be a shame to sink all that cash into the car and not work the suspension or brakes.

Can you install 240 bumpers on a 280?

[CoastGuardZ]

Can you???

I know you'd have to change the lower valance also, so you would have blinkers/parking lights.

This is actually some info I'm highly interested in.
