Where to begin on 280zx?
Hello!
I picked up a 1982 280zx over the weekend. It has been sitting in a garage for about 6 years with the occasional start up. It still does run, but I don't want to keep running it on old fluids so I am going to be replacing the oil and doing a coolant flush. I will also be changing out the brakes here soon after. I want to replace all switches and the dashboard and console soon, too. Other than that, I am looking for some direction from experienced individuals. What else should I do?
My goal is to do bolt ons to the current engine, L28E, and build up on another engine then drop it in. I ultimately want to get right around 400HP. I may add a turbo in the future to get to that number, but not at the moment. What are the recommendations from you all? What are some things I should do and look into do to ensure this car lasts me a good while, other than regular maintenance?
