What is the real world mileage of a stock fuel injected L28?

Thanks gang. Just trying to make a list. Or I might decide to sell it or part it out. Not sure yet.

Hi guys it looks like I am going to pick up a complete 280zx 2+2 in a trade. Just wondering what parts would be an upgrade from my 280z?

Wow didnt know so many people in Japan smoked carck:)

Not a Z concept but I thought you guys would like to see it.

Your right it does need to be wider the original is not wide enough. Also what motor does it need cant have a V6 with that long hood. Maybe one of the skyline strait sixs or hmm a Nissan v8.

Thanks for all the feedback. Did some quick changes starting to move from a quick concept sketch to something that shows some of the volumes of the car so see if its working out. Also while moving from the quick sketch to something more solid I changed some of the proportions to start being closer to a real car. The wheels are still basicly space holders but you can get the idea. Any way trying to make up my mind if I like the over all proportions etc. If so I will start working on the details like head lights.

Ok another sketchjust change the arch over the rear wheel a little.

OK here is a new one. Still a rough quick sketch. Let me know what you guys think.

Hmm that is interesting Ron. Let me see what I can come up with in a little while.

Thats interesting I had never looked at Opel GT headlights before. I guese it would be possible to do something like that but have the look more like the original Z hmmmm.

Bravo I can stretch the rear out some but from playing with it earler it looks OK but not much like a z for some reason. When I get a chance I will post an image of one with a longer rear. Also we can do the popup headlights if we do that we can just keep the nice smooth front shape of the car without the exposed headlights. I dont like the ones on it now anyway. Thinking of headlights we could just go completly retro like the new mustang end just make scoops with covers like the original one. What do you guys think? Yes Bravo does not look at much like a z. Whats funny is when I set down to just do some drawing I tended to come up with something that looked like a Ferrari like the kits for the Z:) I think thats what I really liked more than the Z. See attachments to see what I tend to lean to in a Z design. Not a Z but pretty.

I know what you mean about it almost looking to much like the original. Its a fine line between a modern interpretation and a direct copy. Still working on more ideas and looking to see what kind of feedback I get then we will see what comes along.

I am just starting working on some concepts for a new Z concept. After getting to something I like I will do a full rendering but I thought I would start getting some feedback now. Attached are a couple of very early images. Feedback and suggestions would be very helpful.

Hi I just sold my Z but kept the triple webbers. I will be storing them for a long period probobly and I am wondering if there is anything special I need to do. Right now I just plan on getting all the gas out and doing a little cleaning. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
