This is my dream car, my 79 Datsun 280zx 2+2. I bought her last year with 250,000 miles and she was in rough shape, but just like a Z kept going for another 45,000 miles. I decided to pull the motor and rebuild it. My motor now has flat top pistons and a fresh machined head that is soon to get a serious cam upgrade. I gutted the EFI and put on a Holley 450 carb and a MSA 3 into 2 Header. Bosch Platinum Plugs and Thundervolt wires. Maybe a turbo in the future. Riding on tokico gas struts and eibach springs that drop her 1 1/4" in front and 1" in the rear. Stillen sway bars in front and rear and a complete energy suspension bushing set. She needs a lot of body work, but the MSA body kit will stay and maybe a wing on the rear. Thats all for now. I'll work on some newer pics.(cameras busted)
