SlickBeads Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I was just making a post to ask about all the parts needed to convert my 260z to fuel injection. currently i am getting the hardlines from a 280zx and am going to weld a sump to the 260z gas tank so i dont have to try to fit another one. do you guys have any tips or suggestions?

datzenmike Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think the 280z and 280zx EFI used an inline fuel pump. You will need a return line. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Find a 280z/zx and grab all the intake and electronics, fuel pump and damper.You can use a tank/straps from a later 280z for a direct swap if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment

Doesn't that depend on whether he has the deep or shallow spare tire well? I think all the 280Zs have the shallow spare tire well (taller tank). 1 Quote Link to comment
Slowpoke Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Not needed but interesting: https://zcardepot.com/fuel-injection-retrofit-kit-fast-efi-280z-280zx.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpefD67Od1wIVgrXACh2lOwRBEAQYASABEgLPa_D_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment

I think all the 280Zs have the shallow spare tire well (taller tank). Early 280 (75/early 76 IIRC its been a while) has a tank like a 240/260 with the hump on one side and the later ones have a twinky shaped tank. There are two types of tanks for the 280z.

Now I have this 1978 one and I see the floor is raised in the back. I assume it was to fit a larger tank in there. I would bet Skib is right on with the year separation. 1975-76 // 1977-78 Quote Link to comment

I thought you would have known that lol Heres the early style tank, like a 240/260 and the later style one that accounts for the raised rear deck. Quote Link to comment
