DestroyingZ Posted May 8, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2007 Hi there, folks. Just started wanting to purchase a 280Z and thought that I'd better start learning as much as I could about them before I did. I'll be getting my Nissan hardbody first, but after that, it's all Z.P.S.- Oh, and after I pay off my student loans....

AndysPlit Posted May 8, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2007 I wish sites like these were around when I was searching for the right Z. At first I was hunting for a 280ZX because that was the car I most recall as a child. Then one night after test driving a few 280ZX's , I took a 78 280Z for a spin. That was the car that won my heart. Damn, that was such a rush. I never drove a car like it in my life!...and this was completely stock. That very Z has been with me ever since. Anyway, good luck!

AndysPlit Posted May 8, 2007 Share #7 Posted May 8, 2007 A friend of my mother's had a nice two-tone silver and blue ZX. That was the very first one I remember. I would always ask my mother when the guy with the "cool" car was coming back. Then there was a modified white 240Z with triple webbers and a whale-tail attached to it. My friend's father was selling it when I was a teenager. I had dreams of somehow saving up all of my allowance money for that one car. Fortunatley I didn't acquire that Z for my first car. That would've been a disaster. I crashed my very first car and drove it to the ground. It was an 83 Sentra station wagon.

justaZcarguy Posted May 9, 2007 Share #12 Posted May 9, 2007 I second that e!!! I started with a 280 and now have a 240. At the rate I am working lower in the numbers I will have a 220 next. I vote for a 240, but whatever you choose, do yourself a favor and read up on some threads on rust areas to watch for... Most are fixable, but be sure that you are getting a car that is road safe, and not too bad for the fixin'. ~Brian Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/24265-new-z-recruit/#findComment-208952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
