What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1977 Datsun 280Z love its blend of performance, style, and history. They appreciate the car's reliability, handling, and fun driving experience, especially with its classic design and fuel-injected engine. However, some drivers feel it lacks modern speed compared to today's sports cars and can be less refined than newer models. Still, the joy of driving and the vehicle's affordability make it a favorite among many enthusiasts."
Amazing cars, the history alone speak for itself. While by today's standards they aren't the fastest, it's is still quick. Parts are cheap and relatively easy to find. It's easy to work on and is fuel-injected so it's reliable.
July 5, 2008the Z lives up to its fame, its light body weight a mere 1020kg with its 2.8L straight 6 and fully independent suspension make it great. who doesn't like the body styling. (nothing more needs to be sayed about the Z)
August 21, 2010It's a fun car to drive and the kids love the front grill! It took 3 years for Gary to finish this car.......but he loved every minute of it. He loves tinkering on it and taking it out for a Sunday drive along the lakeshore.

April 1, 2010For a two seater, this is one of the best sports car buys. It's proven reliability lives on to this day and many more ahead. There is plenty of acceleration that continues well past freeway speeds. It's handling is second nature. It's shape is classic. With the manual steering, you become one with the road. The seats are low and there is so much leg room that you can stretch out your legs on long drives. This car is 31 years old, solid, fast, easy to maintain, rarely needs repair, and when it does, parts are easy to aquire. This car is all about fun! I can't wait to drive it through wine country to get to work in the morning.
November 4, 2008Drove it when I was thinking of getting a sports car in 1977. Compared to the Porsche 928, this thing drove like a Buick. It was a bit more affordable, though, and had the reputation of holding up well. It had slightly better acceleration than the Porsche.
July 14, 2008Start at the bottom and work up. Yokahama AVS ES100 tires, old school black spider web with aluminum lip Einkis, KYB struts, poly kit, Toyota four piston front calipers, flat top pistons, stage three cam, 4BBL intake, Carter 625 CFM AFB, ACT stage two clutch. Acceleration? yup, brakes? yup handeling? yup Quality? all I can afford. Apperance? getting there Cost? yup, it costs. Fun? YUP
