XYZ Posted January 22, 2003 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2003 Found this on Ebay. Looks like a real nice rehab job.

Datzun76 Posted January 22, 2003 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2003 That car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Well worth what he is asking and it is a 280 so that means he has good taste.:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4378-nice-ride-but-it-is-a-280z/#findComment-24127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mperdue Posted January 22, 2003 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2003 I had the same thoughts. The big bumpers do nothing for the body lines of the early Z. I like the way he did his amplifier mounting. Could have done a better job with the subwoofer and front speakers but not bad anyway. ALso I don't normally like the big front air dams but it really fits in this case. Maybe it makes the bumpers look smaller? Michael Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4378-nice-ride-but-it-is-a-280z/#findComment-24151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ManyZs Posted January 22, 2003 Share #9 Posted January 22, 2003 Must have bought a barrel of racing gas at probably 3-6 dollars a gallon to mix with high test........or maybe he has access to some "extra" barrels of avgas4.37 r&p's were available for years from Nissan Motorsports, might still be some out there, but anything lower than 4:11 seems to be getting hard to find. They also has 4.62, 4.87 and a 5.14..........The Nissan 4x4 pickups had a 4.37 from the factory, and LSD's were only another 700+ if you wanted one bad enough.....

XYZ Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share #10 Posted January 22, 2003 I agree with you guys about the bumper. They should have "accidently" forgot to put it on all together. The other thing I'm surprised about is leaving or adding that chrome trim along the running board area of the body (below the doors). I have that crap on my car and I will remove it when it goes to the paint shop in the future. Pretty nice car though. Let's see so they invested 30K and the bid is currently at 11.7K...... that's some return!Could anyone notice if the suspension looked modified. It's hard to tell but it doesn't look like they refreshed or did much to the suspension as it's still kind of rusted and no shiners from wrench work. Be a shame to sink all that cash into the car and not work the suspension or brakes.

Victor Laury Posted January 22, 2003 Share #11 Posted January 22, 2003 Can you install 240 bumpers on a 280? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4378-nice-ride-but-it-is-a-280z/#findComment-24168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastGuardZ Posted January 22, 2003 Share #12 Posted January 22, 2003 Can you???I know you'd have to change the lower valance also, so you would have blinkers/parking lights.This is actually some info I'm highly interested in.Nate :cross-eye Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4378-nice-ride-but-it-is-a-280z/#findComment-24176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
