120 Kph = ~74.5 Mph

That does seem a bit high, but we won't know with knowing which transmission and differential gears you have.

That speed and rpm figures out to be a 3.9 rear (stock on 81-83 cars) and in 4th gear 1:1 ratio, or if you have an auto transmission that would be 3rd gear 1:1 ratio.

3984rpm at 75mph with stock tire size.

5-speed on the early or later 280ZX should be well below that rpm no matter what rear gears you have.
