Flushed the brakes, fluid didn't look too bad but definitely wasn't clear like new stuff. Got a small bubble out of each front caliper.
Also used a plastic welder/staple tool and jb weld to fix my aero lip and turbo lip. I don't have great expectations for either lasting though, I tend to destroy these...
Nissan had exactly the right car at exactly the right time. It pretty much put the British sports car industry out of business. Years passed before any other car maker did anything similar. Then... they turned it into a luxury car in 79.
Did they keep making them until the 300ZX came out?
[QUOTE=s65e90;19363996]83/84 was the first/last year I think.[/QUOTE
Correct, after 1978 the Z became a ZX. By then the car was bloated, softer, slower, but it did have voice commands.
Had both, the 78 is still one of my favorites, the 82 not so much was like a plush touring car.
They went 240Z (69-73), 260Z (1974), 280Z (75-78). Then a new version, based on a Maxima the 280ZX (79-83), then a new version 300ZX with a V6 (84-88?), than a different 300ZX (?89-96) then the series ended.
Later the 350Z started it back up, then went to the 370Z. The 350/370Z share no heritage with the original series. The 240SX is much more similar to the first generation 240/260/280Z.
Sorry men I got a bit carried away. The first-gen Z is the car I have always loved, it's what I would draw during study hall in 6th grade. I've owned one since I got my driving license 38 years ago and I always will have one.
That is correct. When I bought my 911SC in 1984, Datsun was becoming Nissan from what I recall. There were both new 280s and new 300s available. But I ended up buying a used 5 year old 911 SC for the same price as a new Nissan.
In fact I bought it April 1st 1984. So I’ve owned it 40 years today. I’m getting old.
Well played. I suppose I'm just miffed for I see no love for the Mazda RX7. You just haven't lived until and unless you've blown up a Wankel rotary motor.
scored a set of used left/right radiators off a 997TT from the marketplace, finally got a chance to clean them up a bit but havent had muc time to focus on the TT but am hoping to get the IC hose back on tomorrow.
took me 3 tries to get the valves adjusted right on my track car (dc2) which is serving as a temporary daily driver. no more ticking, idles smooth and has alittle extra power!
I see your car is equipped with air con... must be nice to be all fancy like that...
