1979 280Z (Japanese New with ZX features) for sale in Queenstown,New Zealand. Best offer gets it. I've owned this car since 1990. A year ago it failed a WOF on rust under the door sill. Have had all the rust professionally removed and at the time we found the front rt guard was beyond repair. Managed to get a brand new guard ex Australia. Car is now registered and has WOF. I haven't repainted it yet, and the interior needs a bit of work. I have a business car now and unfortunately I a. don't have the room to store my 280z and B.hardly ever use it now. So for a good (Fully running) doer uper in the South Island of NZ contact me. Dave

I'm still looking. I think I have a rt front guard now, but still waiting to confirm it. You could try in Aussie or this site in the usa www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT cheers badger

Hi Cam, I don't know much about them either. Mine is listed and registered as a 280z but has all the zx features, including the aircon and cruise control. I believe it was imported through Timaru, but I bought it in Dunedin. This was soon after the start of the jap imports car prices had suddenly decreased. I also believe that ALL Z Cars in NZ are imported from Japan, even the ones that were sold new in NZ. However in Japan (regarding the 2nd hand imports that we later got) the car dealers would order the cars ex factory in the configurations that the dealer wanted. Hence mine is a Fairlady 280z but has (as far as I can tell) all the zx features. From reading other stuff on this site I believe that in the US they only had the ZX model. Don't know if this helps at all Dave (Badger) who still hasn't found a guard or a valance :disappoin

Hi 240znz(Zed not Zee) , I live in Queenstown. Have done a serch through the Nissan NZ parts serch page as well as through the various parts networks in NZ. So far have found nothing "of a better condition than I've got", though there is new parts ex Japan ($820+gst) for a guard and still waiting for the valance and grill cost. have also found a number of manufacturers making fibreglass replica parts. these sound ok, but I'd like to stay original if possible. Thanks Dave (Badger):classic:

I've had my 79 280zx since 1990. It was imported into New Zealand (2nd Hand) ex Japan approx1987. I've always tried to keep it clean, straight and original. I'm lookingfor a right front guard (new or near new) and the same for front air dam and grill. Ideally in New Zeland or Aussie but will consider further a field if freight costs are ok. When I bought mine in 1990 it had extremely gay pink and black stripes plastered down both sides. does anyone know the original pin stipes I think they were a green and maroon pin stripe.
