Edz280zx

Still around, although the car is long gone.

I like everything but the tail light treatment.

Check the tps sensor. In fact check all the sensors just to be on the safe side.

First thing I would do is to check all the connectors, making sure they are clear of corrosion and making good contact. Also, have you done a tune up? Give some details on the car. Did you just buy it? Been sitting long?

Worth the fix in my opinion...I envy you

Easiest way to go about it would be to get all the parts off of a another 280zx. You'll need the tranny, drive shaft, clutch pedal assembly, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch & pressure plate, throwout bearing, clutch master cylinder & lines, slave cylinder, interior trim for the shifter hole....ect.. That should get you started!

Thanks guys. I've put up some pics in the gallery and in the Check out my ride forum.

Hey guys (& gals), just reporting in to say hi. I've got several Z's at the moment ranging from a 72 up to 83. My 81 is the only one running right now, the others are projects and parts cars:classic:. I'll post some pics up later. Cheers, Ed
