Guys I've got a 78 280z that is in need of an ignition switch. I was wondering if you guys know if the ignitions are swappable between the 240's through the 280's? Basically is it possible to take a whole assembly from a 240 or 260 and swap it into a 280? Thanks!

It is very sad to hear of that young man's untimely death. I do understand regardless of vehicle nobody is really ever safe on the road. I completely agree with everyone that how one drives is the reality of the issue. I've always wanted to go to a driving school, just wish there was one closer to home.

Thank you everyone for your posts, I understand that an older vehicle may not have the certain aspects that new vehicles have acquired over time. I appreciate everyone who has shared their stories with me and has give me a firmer understanding of the Z. I actually have a daily driver G35 coupe that I've done some mods on, which may remain a DD until the Z is up to par. I've driven sports cars all of my life and understand the dangers, so the Z doesn't scare me. It mostly scares the fiance.

Hi guys, new to the forum. I've been on the lookout for a s30 for some time now. I recently found a 78 280z that hasn't ran in about 10 years. I'm hoping to buy the car and turn it into a project / daily driver. One main concern than my fiancé and I have is the safety of the vehicle once we're able to get it on the road. So my question to you guys is in the event of an accident how likely are we to survive in these cars? I'm mainly looking for personal experiences from owners. Any information would help! Thanks!!!
