I am hoping to get $4500 at this point.

If you live near Louisville, KY and are in the market for a z car this might be your chance to get a good deal. I must sale my 76 280z 2+2 immediately. Let me know if you are interested and we can discuss. thanks. IMG_1235.MOV IMG_1235.MOV IMG_1235.MOV IMG_1235.MOV

I have a certified welder ready to weld the part on. And we plan to coat afterwards. Issue is I am having trouble finding rails for a 2+2. I guess I can use the standards ones with some modification. I assume the parts weld on. Thanks.

I know that the damage is structural and not cosmetic. The question is are the replacement parts structural or cosmetic? Thanks.

I was looking at this site. http://www.datsunzparts.com/thanks.html

This is the passenger side I believe caused by a brake line leak. When you say needs "frame rails and floor pans". Is that something that can be purchased? I saw some sheet metal ones for sale but kind of feel this is cosmetic not structural. I am getting a lot of interest from my listing but feel it is going to be difficult to sale with the rust issue. Thanks.

I am in the process of selling my 76 280Z 2+2. Recently I had a brake line leak that was fixed but I believe caused a rust issue. I am attaching a photo of the concerned area. For reference it is about the size of a baseball. I have seen some replacement pieces for sale, I think that are welded on, for a fix. However, it appears to me that these pieces are more cosmetic than structural. I do have access to a good welder so welding is an option. Thoughts/Comments/Suggestions.

Well I have been talking and thinking about this for a while now; however, today is the day the Z goes on the market. Just curious if anyone can give advice on the best way to sale? Ebay? Marketplace? other? I thought about taking offers for 30 days and then going with the best offer assuming the offer is basically acceptable. I am in Louisville, KY and can go a year without seeing another 70's model z car. Not sure if that is good or bad. I have no idea what the car will sale for or even how to answer the question on what condition it is currently in. It is a 76 280 2+2 far from show quality and probably considered good condition but not sure. Thoughts? Comment? Anyone have success in selling one and where/site? I can send photos etc. but just looking for basic sales advice not wanting this to be an ad. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to get my 76 280Z 2+2 back on the road and currently have a brake line leak. It is about half way back on the passenger side. I am not real knowledgeable on repairing brake lines but was hoping to be able to just cut a section out and add some fittings and a short piece of brake line. Can someone that knows more than me recommend a repair procedure? What is the brake line size? etc. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for such a quick response. I did not notice the additional responses and have already ordered the ones from zcardepot.

OK, so I am wrapping up getting the 76z ready for sale. Obviously taking my time to part ways. I am installing my fuel injector / railing and one of the plastic injector holders broke. I am pretty sure that all of the parts including the injectors were original. I am having trouble locating the proper part to purchase. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This may be a stupid question 340260280 but what size resistor should be used. Thanks.

Thanks siteunseen. I noticed posts saying fj707t or fj707s and noticed the ones at O'Reilly's just say fj707. What does the t and s mean? The ones at O'Reilly's are $56. Not sure if they are in stock.

Other question is if I replace the two fuel injectors does it matter what brand. Thanks.

Getting ready to soak 2 of my fuel injectors that appear to be clogged. I was planning on soaking them with seafoam. I just read a post that said never to soak them in any kind of cleaner because the coil I’ll get damaged. Thoughts/Comments.

I will try and search but I would like to clean in my engine bay area. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Yep on the cleaning. Replaced the main ground strap. Hooked up the dangling lead. Checked the fusible links. Car started right up. The connection at the fuel pump is loose so I need to fix it. Thanks

This might be a real stupid question but will this keep the car from starting? Thanks.

OK, as everything goes I am having trouble getting the 280 started after sitting for 6 months or so. I am getting 1.3V at the fuel pump. When I forced 12 volts to it I did get fuel flow. I thought I would send over some photos for review. I am going to replace ground strap/wire to body and clean up the other wire coming off the negative battery terminal today. I am focused on the two other connectors to the battery. If you notice in the photo, one of them is going to nothing and the other to the positive terminal with one leg broke out. The wiring diagram shows one male and one female; however, both of mine are the same. Thoughts? Not great on electrical things.

SteveJ, did you get the PM? Just making sure it went through.

Thanks, I will let you guys know how the sale goes. Going to do just a quick little clean up and should be posted within the next week or so.

Anyone have an idea on the best way to sale these cars? I can go a year here in Louisville, KY without seeing a 70's model z. I assume there will be enough interest in the area but not sure. Thanks

It is a sad day in my life. I have decided it is time to part with my 1976 280Z 2+2. Also losing my 2008 LR3 due to jumping timing unless I can find someone to fix reasonably. I am having a real difficult time determining a value/price for my 280. I know that this is almost impossible to determine based on actual condition of the vehicle. Just looking for some decent advice. Car details - 80,000 miles - Mechanically good - Average paint job no where near show quality 7/10 - Interior probably a 7/10. Seats are really good but the carpet needs to probably be replace - Persimmon red exterior and black interior - Small amounts of rust but I would say really good comparably - Mostly stock with front spoiler - Driven 1-2 times per month over the past couple years - I would say that the gas tank probably needs to be replaced, before I purchased car sat for 15 years, rust in tank - Brakes good - No body damage - Trim seals need to probably be replaced I will send out some pictures if anyone is interested, not necessarily in buying , but to help ball park me a price. Again I know that it is impossible to say without seeing. Thanks

I think he was drunk. LOL. Not a show room job by any means but not bad. When I got the car it had no paint on it what so ever and I was getting concerned about salt roads and rust. I am trying to remember where they came from. Why do you ask? I had some electrical issues with alternator and external voltage regulator and if I recall that caused issues with the links. Upgraded to the 60 amp alternator with the internal voltage regulator. Thanks.
