Difference between 280zx coupe and 2+2

Hello I was wondering what the differences were with the 280zx 2+2 interior parts vs the coupe parts. I have a 2+2 and finding parts has been very hard. What parts on the interior are interchangeable and if there’s none, are there any reputable 3D printing companies that print custom interiors. Any help is perfect.

L28ET with G25-550?

I'm looking to upgrade my current He351cw Holset turbo to something way more responsive but able to make 400whp. The motor is a rebuilt F54 with decently gapped stock pistons and a P90 with a comp cams 280s grind cam and arp head studs. It's got a Protunerz intake/TB and a ported stock exhaust manifold and plenty of injector. Does anyone have any experience with these G series turbos? My instinct (which is often wrong) is that the G25-550 is too small...but I really do not want to oversize the turbo, I'd love for it to be all in by 2500rpm or less. I'm not great at understanding turbo compressor maps but it seems to be in the ballpark. Any advice is welcome thanks guys

Rev counter for my Cherry

Hi everyone, I live in The Netherlands and in August I finally bought one of my dream cars and I'm so happy with it! It's a fully restored Datsun 100a E10, but there are a few things to address. For example the rev counter. I only have a clock which looks fantastic, but I love looking at the revs and sometimes it can be very useful. Now I've heard that rev counters can be very rare and especially on the 100a. Does anyone know a good place, website, group, etc... where I can find parts like these for my car. Anything helps. Thanks in advance!

Fender flares recommendation?

Just looking for some really basic fender, flares. Nothing too crazy or wide or full body kits. Saw on eBay, but not sure if they’ll fit and there isn’t really an option for sizes. Send me the link to the ones they got?

L24 uneven firing

It sounds subtle in the video, but cylinders are being skipped. It’s very apparent when driving, as there are split seconds of no power.

All my ignition wires work, my spark plugs are dirty but still spark, and I’ve replaced the distributor rotor.

I’m thinking it’s ignition related, but I’m open to other perspectives. Any ideas of what this could be?

Thanks in advance.

Having issues with ClassicZCars.

I've been having issues getting into my ClassicZCars account and I've tried their Forgot Password and Contact Us and haven't gotten anything.

Does anyone have some way to get a hold of anyone over there that can do anything?

My favorite part of my 240z is finally back in the car.

When I bought this car 24 years ago as a teenager I brought it to a classic car show with my father's 240z and Mr. K, the designer of the 240z was there. I asked if he would be willing to autograph a poster for me. After we got to talking about my 240z he said he would do something better and autographed my glovebox door. With the final stages of the build coming to a close this moment is very special to me and wanted to share it with the community.

Winter Care

Hey everyone! I'm new to Datsun ownership and wanted to get everyone's input on prepping the car for the winter. I know the ideal solution is to garage it, but I don't necessarily have the space to do that.

Any input on additives, trickle chargers, etc. that you've found works well would be greatly appreciated!

Momo 240z Steering Wheel Hub

So I'm working on installing new Cobeau GTS II seats in my 73' 240z with their sliding seat brackets with a new Momo steering wheel with their 240z steering wheel hub and with the added space that the hub adds the steer wheel feels a little too close for my comfort. Is there a lower profile hub I could get that would help with this issue? I posted a link below to the hub I am currently using.

Header options

Hello everyone

The time has come where I'm restoring my Z. While everything is getting rebuilt (engine body etc.) I'm looking to upgrade from the stock manifold to a header. I have N42 head. Any suggestions? It will have an updated cam by Steve - per everyone's suggestion - nothing extreme, just a bit more lift over stock.

Thanks all
Cheers

280zx Ignition alternatives

I've been working with a guy on his 82 280zx for a couple months trying to fix a stumbling issue. I'm a hobby mechanic not a pro. We mainly got it down to the distributor, he sent it to a guy in Washington to get it looked at and fixed. One of 3 ball bearing limbs broke, it still kind of stumbles, but runs a bit better. Today he sold it to me and I'd like to know of any ways around the distributor or how I can upgrade it to a slightly more modern system. I want to restore it but some things just might be better upgrading. Thanks
