New Zcar owner saying hi

[janaka]

Well I guess I should introduce myself here since I've already posted asking for help from the club in the Help Me! section.

My name is Jason, I purchased a 1976 280Z in Dec of 2006 from Florida and drove it home to Ontario Canada the following day (2200km drive non-stop!)

The car did the drive flawlessly for her age and got me decent milage on the way 23mpg at 70mph all the way.

Details of the car itself can be found on my cardomain page located here at my

Datsun page.

Basically it was bought as a 95% restored car that needed only mirror touches to finish it off which I am working on slowly. It has been dyno'd at 162.0 RWHP and 162.0 lb/ft torque and tracked at 15.6s @ 89.9MPH in the 1/4mile

The car is an absolute joy to drive and I enjoy the weekend jaunts to neighboring cities and what not as its always turning heads and just a fun driving car. Unfortunately I'm having some issues with it currently but I'm not going to let that stop the fun nor my excitement for the car. It will get fixed and i will continue to drive it hard

Thats all for now but i'm sure I will become a regular over time on here.

Cheers

jason

I second that. Nice 280. "Treat her like a lady and she'll always get you home."

Welcome, always nice to see another 76 - 280 on the site. You got a very nice car. I have the same rear spoiler and very similar front air dam on mine. Have fun with the car.
