Bleach Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I've been keeping an eye out for a couple months for the right Z. Nice but not too expensive. I just picked this up Saturday morning before the Private Ratsun show. 1983 turbo, 139k miles, all stock except for the tape deck and alarm. Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Is that the turbo model? yes, if you look really closely you can see a tiny Turbo emblem on it. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 yes, if you look really closely you can see a tiny Turbo emblem on it. I don't see it.... Can you photo shop a red circle around it?? Quote Link to comment

Can you photo shop a red circle around it?? Oh, crap. I used squares instead of circles. Hope you can still see 'em. Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 :mellow: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :lol: and in case you forget, there's one in front of the gear shifter and on the valve cover of the engine. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 so even though I dont' plan to work on this car until I get my house listed for sale, I've begun with my shopping list and ordering a few things. So far I have "most" of what I will buy for it listed out. I'm at $3500 in parts! (not much for the engine either) This is just body, wheels/tires, suspension, and interior. I spent $400 recently. T3 just came out with some adjustable tension rods (same as 510 style) so I ordered those. Short shifter and steering wheel are on their way too. my 350Z is for sale if you know anyone interested. Its on craigslist Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Why the switch from the 350z to the ZXT? Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 more fun to customize, much cheaper, unique, and the Datsun people are more cool to hang out with than 350Z people. :D Plus I can have more funds available for real estate. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Cost effectivness? More bling, blang, blat for the bucks :D Quote Link to comment

I'm with you on this 100%! I was looking at a couple of new/newer cars, now that I'm back in the work force, getting lots of overtime. None of them really "did" it for me like my dattos. I'd rather have two dattos than one new car. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Once I get my next house, I may have both again. I can always just buy a new car but you can't just go out and buy a nice customized Datsun any old day. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I like my 'new' car, but I can understand having the extra $ to spend on my datto (or jeep). I guess I'm paying for the reliability of getting to work any and everyday no problem. Bleach has his frontier for that though :D Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 lol bleach, ya i heard some of the newer car people can suck, the 350,240,maxipad guys can get real annoying.. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 so how many turbo emblems are on the car? 4?? does that mean its a quad turbo??? :D in all reality though that car is super clean! i loved the dangling headliner. oh so 80s! :D Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 yes, four on the outside, one on the inside. The fender emblems I thought are supposed to say "280ZX Turbo" but these just say 280ZX. I wonder if they were replaced or if the dealer put the standard 280ZX emblems on because of the door markings. I know emblems do get stolen sometimes... I plan to take off all the emblems on the outside of the car but leave the door decals. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 That is a very clean Z. But, Bleach I do believe you need to get a 620 KC:D I know where there is one 4-sale:D Quote Link to comment
