    I believe they changed the numbers as they changed displacement on the motors. The 240 and 260 were carbureted and the 280 went to fuel injection.

    I picked up a 1977 280z right after high school and loved it. Pioneer supertuner radio with a pair of Minimus 7's mounted in the back.

    I remember the 260's started feeling real light in the front the faster you went. Not a confidence inspiring feeling.

    Nice, didn't realize they were T-top. I thought the GM F-body platform was the only one other than some exotics.

    I learned how to drive a stick shift on a 240Z. Great fun car to drive.

    Lots of T-Tops through the years. My 1983 Mustang GT had them. I know some other GMs like Regals/Grand Prix/Monte Carlo/Cutlass...also Corvettes and Fieros. Ford also had them on Thunderbirds and Capris. Toyota had them on the MR-2. Some others too.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Every Saturday morning I take her for a drive. Rediculously fun to handle in the twisties of the foothills of NC!

    @Conradicles Very nice 300ZX, it looks like the 2+2, is it a turbo? Friend of mine had one about the same year as yours. His was yellow and a 2+2, don't think his was a turbo, but still plenty fast, it had a Bose stereo with the "Bose" name right out in front on the dash. I had a '78 280Z, then a '79 280ZX, the 79 was a new style, a little bigger, both were nice. I have my red 1992 240SX stored in my garage, I drive it once in a while, RWD, 4 cyl. does not have the zoom the earlier ones had. But still a fun ride. Enjoy the summer! :)

    Nice looking Z....congrats. I worked at a Nissan dealer from 89-91, not as a tech though...I remember those cars coming in.

    That generation Z has the best driving position of any car I've driven. There are quite a few cars that give that feeling you can drive all day at hwy speeds, but the 2nd gen 300 ZX tops the list for me.

    Looks like you have the wider rear wheels from the turbo, that setup looks much better IMO.

    You may know this...if not, just keep in mind tire rotations won't be possible without a mount/dismount. Those wheels are also left and right specific, to pull air from inside the wheel to the outside for brake cooling. Not a huge deal on the street but just a friendly fyi.

    Enjoy!

    Yes the wider rear wheels. I am 6' 3" and I agree...best driving position I have ever felt.

    Your Z-car reminded me of this....
