Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I'm glad to be a part of it! Purchased an 83 280z NT that's in pristine condition, as far as the body/ frame. Not a spot of rust, however, I pulled the plugs and found out one cylinder was fouled, replaced all plugs and she rode better. But it seems like there is no power to it, just kinda scoots through the gears. Plugs read fine, is there something I'm missing here, timing maybe??

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

Yes... check timing.

 

Sounds like it sat. Change your fluids and fuel filter. Take her down the interstate and hammer it a few times plus a long 2k rpm cruise in between. To loosen her up. Keep a towing number handy first few hundred miles. I owned 4 so far trust me keep it handy. Also we have tons of newbie details of check marks on first getting a z back on the road.
