OIl Pressure
My 280 oil pressure gauge I feel is going. It reads anywhere from 60-0. It usaully drops on accerleration then picks back up. I have also noticed it drops to zero for no reason at all. All the other gauges are reading perfect. Water temp 180-190. The motor sounds fine. So I am guessing oil gauge. does that sound about right?

I second that! That is a very common problem with the 79-83 280ZX. Mine did the same thing and it was the oil pressure sending unit on the right side of the engine. Mine cost me $49 from a Nissan dealer, but it fixed the problem.
I was advised not to buy any aftermarket units for less because they may not read as accurate.... :-P

Re: OIl Pressure
if you cannot be stuffed spending the $30 or so bucks, or need to wait a week or 2 before buying./..
just get a steel brush, and clean the connection points of where it connects to the wires, and see how that helps, i did that, and i can now sometimes read what pressure i got, just at idle and all that it drops to below 0... hehe
