    truly. and HEY! about the honda thing. shouldn't it be a good thing that i no longer own a honda and now moving forward to a z? im loving this car more and more just today we signed over the pink and i handed over cash. picking it up on monday. I'm trying to search for articles or threads on either l28 non turbo to turbo by the turo manifolds upping the fuel and etc. basically turning it into a turbo motor.

    wow. so basically the ecu is different and suspension is different. the l28 motor was brought over to our cars as well as 75 - 78. hmm... i found a place that can get me jdm motors for good prices. anything from sr20 - rb20 25 and 26's.

    I was thinking about that. finding a few manuals for the zx. So alot of what goes on in this forum can relate to our cars as well? i'm already starting research on the rust issues and everything.

    Hi everyone - I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Michael Vuong and I will be 19 this Augest. I am now a proud owner of the classic Datsun 280zx non turbo. I will be picking this up in the next few days for 600$ with 117k orginal miles. There are some surface rust but nothing major, and a minor fender bender on the passenger side rear quarter panel. This is my first datsun ever. However I partially bought this because my father owned one and loved it. It is his favorite car and currently his health is decreasing dramatically because of a sickness called Lupus - it has spread to his liver and lungs... I bought this car for many reason but that is one of it. To give my father something to smile about seeing his only son drive his dream car. I originally was a Honda head - still partially am. So I'm not completely new to the automotive hobby as I did most of the work myself since affording a mechanic was out of the question. I hope to become a valuable member of this club/forum and establish myself as a good hobbyist, I look forward to leaning new things about this classic series of cars. My car history: 1985 Toyota Cressida 5mge (swapped 1jz) SOLD 1988 Toyota 2 ton Pick up 1995 Honda Civic Hatch back. (extensive suspension mods) STOLEN 1999 Acura Integra GSR. STOLEN 1991 Honda Crx SI. Spun Rod - Sold. Current: 1981 Datsun 280zx non-turbo STOCK. My goal with the 280zx is to have it restored and running great. gonna be a daily drive / weekend car. I don't know much to decide on my motor options so I hope to be pointed in the right direction. I also don't know where to start for finding parts and etc. However I will use this forum and the SEARCH feature. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
