1977 Datsun 280z manual
Description
1977 datsun 280z base 2.8l with 82k on the odometer. The car was stilling from 2007 to 2017. I bought it in 2017 and went through a lot of the car mechanically and got it street legal in 2019. I am trying to be as transparent as possible. Mechanically, the car is pretty good now and I think would make for a reliable project car to drive and finish up on the side. It's drivable and street legal but needs a few things left to make it complete.
This is 4 speed manual. I've done a lot to the car and the list is below:
Fuel system:
- drained fuel tank and cleaned it and coated the inside- replaced all rubber fuel lines with new lines- replaced fuel pump with with new pump- replaced fuel injectors with oside tiger injectors- new fuel filter
Engine accessories:- replaced fusible links with maxi fuse upgrade- new starter- new alternator- new battery- new air filter- new intake elbow- adjusted valves-new thermotime switch-new temp sensor
Interior:- new wood steering wheel- new wood shift knob- new shifter bushing- new shifter rubber boot cover- new shifter vinyl or leather boot cover- reupholstered seats with new vinyl covers and new foam cushions- coated trunk with POR15- patched rust holes in passenger floor pan- no rust on driver side
Brakes:- new calipers (front)- new pads (front)- new master cylinder- new brake lines- new drum cylinders (rear)- new drum shoes (rear)
Clutch:- new clutch slave cylinder- new clutch master cylinder- new clutch line
Tires:- new tires
Parts coming with car:-new carpet to be installed-new seals all the way round which haven't been installed yet-new dash cover
I was planning to install after the body work was done from the body shop
Needs:-new shocks and-likely suspension bushings and an alignment- front windshield (it's shattered on the passenger side by the pervious owner but still passes inspection because it doesn't obstruct the view of the driver and the wipers don't catch on the cracks- needs some body work where it rusted on the quater panel behind the tire on the drivers side and the roof and paint- has some rust on bottom of the driver side door and towards the bottom of the front quater panel- has rust along the bottom jam of the trunk- car runs a bit rich at the moment but idles well and starts reliably- i have the blower fan out of the car and the center console because I was planning on taking it to the body shop to get all of the body work done before reinstalling everything but I ran out of money
Let me know if you have any questions.
