Zwief280Z

its got good compression looks good 5 speed i dont know about rebuild i have pics but it will take me abit to get itup thanks

hey how much should a 280z engine and tranny go for any ideas keep in mind 80000 miles and runs and shifts good thanks

I talked to the teacher today and he is going to give me 10 pts of extra credit yahoo!!!!

i figured it was worth a try imfailing the class and anything will help now

i just turned it in i doubt he gives me any extra credit but it was worth a shot and i got to talk alittle bit about my Z thanks for the help everyone

This site is a great place to find out much needed information as i used threads from it to make extra credit in chemestry... you think it will work?? How Fast Will It Really Go??? If you use common sense equations to figure out this problem it really is not all that hard. Say.. Power = 400hp = 300kW = 255 Rear Wheel kW ( 85% driveline efficiency) The density of air = 1.2kg/m^3 (give or take) Cd = 0.4 Frontal area = 2m^2 Rolling resistance = 0.014 ( Not sure but very reasonable) Mass = 1200kg Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2 Top Speed after computing = 79.58 m/s Which after converting into Miles Per Hour = 176.8 mph.

does anyone know or are apart of any z car clubs in wisconsin? i was just wondering if we have them up here in the north thanks

WOW I can't belive some one would leave a beloved Z in a spillway!!!

My 78 280 is HLS30-435704 if thats close to anybodys

Hey welcome to the site man you came to the right place when having any questions about z's as i learned there one of the most unique cars out there look for a decent car because if you start off with a pile of crap you'll lose intrest trust me. always look for some spots that always rust (floors, fenders corners ect.) Welcome again and have fun

Welcome if you have any questions feel free to ask any of us im in the middle o restoring my 78 280z and being able to ask questions to people who know more about these unique cars then the maufacture himself helps alot happy chattin

Hey thats great that you and your son are doing it togather be quite the expirence good luck!!

here in wisconsin (Jim falls) it went from 2.74 to 2.99 in a course of an hour maybe i'll be sellin my truck(damn it!!)

hey thanks for all the info racing all togather is fun i think its the competion and the feeling of the car but fist my car has to run before i can race it any

Welcome have fun!!!

Ok i see what you mean well i dont know i think im going to keep her(my 280z) because there awful nice looking and if i work on it enough i might be able to beat some of those damn mazdas have you ever raced a z on a road course or anything (dont worry tom i know you did) tell me about racing them is it hard expensive what would i need to do as im restoring my z now to make it race ready?

Well i just figured i would start up a little convo sorry that it was a bomb shell well what i mean about racing and stuff was i just bought a 78 280z about a week ago it needs alot of work and everything but has anyone heard how they do in a quater mile because here in wisonsin theres a drag track called rock falls and i have been dreaming for a long time to be able race a car there i was wondering if this be a car to build up and race or should i just go and buy a camaro to do the job thanks for all the replies hahaha

Anyone race their z's at a quater mile how does it do? anybody know how they do stock racing

Thanks that will help out alot!!

ok the persone before me must have put a in_line filter there if that damper didnt work would it cause it not to start( lack of fuel?)

sorry bout that

is that right on the fuel fuel pump because i think i know what your talking about if it is Thanks for the picture!!!

is that right on the fuel fuel pump because i think i know what your talking about if it is

does the fuel damper look like a in line filter ? it had metal nipples and a glass cylinder to look through but it was so plugged i couldnt see through it i tried to blow through it but i olnly got alittle air through

my rear in line fuel filter by the tank was really plugged could the injectors have got air locked and now it wouldnt get any gas? if so is there a way to bleed injections?
