kslb Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Just a general enquiry as I think I want one, have looked at a few and think it would be a nice project so I can learn a bit more about engines generally. I have spent too much £'s on the supe to let my mechanically inexperienced hands near it. Was thinking about doing a rebuild on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yeah fair one I much prefer the 240z myself but was looking for something I could afford and put a few personal touches on. The 280 is so much cheaper and I would like to change the body styling slightly which would be a crime with the 240. Have a few plans in mind. Is it easy enough to learn on was thinking '79 ish.

spidermonkey Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Nice cars the 280's but the 240 is the best to go for with out doubt (although i'm tempted to buy a 260 at the mo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Its all lovely carbs and distributor caps! Even I can find my way round one of them! One of the 280's was fuel injection but shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 When I was at Japfest a couple of weeks ago there was a 280Z running rings round everything on the track. No idea what engine it had in but it overtook a 500hp R34 GTR on a corner Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm sure someone posted up pics of a 24oz with a 2JZ motor in it ages ago. Purple, I think. I'm with everyone else; 24oz would be my choice, lovely car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
