Zhound

So i tried to start my grandpa's 280z but what happens is that the floor temp light lights up everytime. the voltmeter drops to 4 and i get a weird "wurr" sound. The engine doesn't turn over or anything, have no idea whats the deal. The little interior light works but the map or headlights dont. Turn signals work. ???

whats the spare wheel compartment and battery tray?? yah..im still learning all this terminology. is the spare wheel compartment underneath the carpet in the trunk? and i just put my battery on this little plastic "tray" like thing which sits on some metal block ma bob. still learning. imma newbie

one that didnt show up..

yeah i didnt really know what to exactly take pics of so... seats are ripped, dash is in ok condition, saved by that dashmat thing stupid antenna! engine.

i might take some pics tomorrow, but there is some rust around the bottom sides of the car, the inside of the hatch is rotted out some spots, paint has pretty much deteriorated, uhh inside of the car is pretty jacked up considering that its been in the sun for many years.. ill get those pics soon..how is '78 considered a good year?

hey everybody im new and i kinda bought a z car from my gramps. (im only 15 & 1/2 right now so its not licensed under me) im planning to fix it up, i think its got 100,000+ miles on it, dont know what to do with it exactly right now. its a '78 280z. i just got a battery for it last week, ran for the first time in 3 years, i think its rich, as in exhaust is black as coal. just thought it'd be a simple car to learn and stuff..:ogre:
