erichwaslike Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 looking for a 280zx speed for a customer, he said it needs to be from a 81-83... anyone got one? or know how hard it will be to source? Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 We all want a 5 speed from a 1981-83 280zx. :P I've been looking for a few months in all of my local JY's. Since most of the 81-83's are still running, ya know. Most of the people I've found that have to sell know what they're worth. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Assume you want the non turbo 5 speed. Link to comment
Skib Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 any Z trans will fit 70-83 if thats all hes looking for. the tall 5th gear trans is the 83 N/A but the 280ZX turbo trans is totally different than all the rest Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Assume you want the non turbo 5 speed. yes it is, its not wat i want tho it is for a customer. im guessing these arent the easiest to find/ are expensive when u do? if anyone knows of one let me know and ill see if hes willing to pay for it.

DREWSDIME Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dude you gota hit the local junk yards I see these cars all day long. If I see one I will let you know. Link to comment
Skib Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 im guessing these arent the easiest to find/ are expensive when u do? I sold a broken one for $150 Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I sold a broken one for $150 Reary?! Wow, I need to start collecting these. Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Whereas I bought a working one for $70. Difference between "Needing Now" and "Wanting eventually". Link to comment
Bleach Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I sold a broken one for $150 Sounds like you ripped them off. I sold a broken one for $25. These aren't THAT expensive. They are found in the years 1981-83, not just 1983. 2-seater and 2+2 have the same trans/diff. $150-250 is reasonable for a used one. Its still a Datsun Link to comment
Skib Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 needed one bearing replaced Link to comment
