I have a 1978 280z with an '81 280zx turbo motor and tranny. It is running 10 psi, has a full 3 inch exhaust, is dark blue, boost gauge, intake, and blitz Bov. With a stage 2 clutch and light weight flywheel. The chassy has 134k miles, and the motor is sitting at almost 85k. The car runs and drives well, Pulls hard in every gear as it should, but is not at a daily driver point yet. At times the car does overheat, Can't figure out why, and when it is running hot, 200+ degree's it has an attitude about starting which it should. The interior is in good condition. Not excellent. The dash has no cracks, 300zx seast, original steering wheel and door panels. The exterior of the car is not in the best of shape. No major body damage or wrecks, but the car does have chips in the paint, a few dings here and there, and will def need to be touched up in a few places. The motor was a clean swap, turbo ecu, injectors, the works. I don't have the time, money or knowledge to get this up and running, so im deciding to focus on my other Z. Feel free to call or text with any questions, or for more pictures.

Im asking 3400 with the rims, Or 2900 with some stock 280zx rims, both sets of rims have good tires. I am located in Keller, TX, 76244.

Might want to include the asking price and your location...


At times? I thought it was constantly overheating? And what about the coolant leaks? Not trying to pick apart your car, but you should be specific...

 

Sorry my mistake I will put the price and location =P As for the heating problem, I drove it from my buddies house the other night which is 38 miles away, mostly highway, and the car didnt go above 160 degree's. I can drive it to work, and school with no problems ever. Just on occasion when i take little bit longer trip, 15+ miles it will act up at times and run hotter than it should. Never gets higher than 210, but thats too hot for my comfort.

 

Did this get fixed?

 

Yes that problem was resolved. I ran it too hot, and it spewed out of a pinhole in the coolant reservoir. Car has 0 leaks now.

 

any rust??
