Sunday Steph and I moved some parts out to the storage garage with the 280Z and we put on some chrome bits that she bought for the car.

Here's a couple pictures, probably the last of the season....







Somebody who has one of the other storage garages had this parked by theirs while they were inside. Was beyond clean and had Z32 brakes.

And I'll throw this pic in too Had it custom made. Looks really good on the wall.

What can I say....I like taking pictures

Jerry, do you plan to do any performance mods or aim for a factory restoration?

Factory restoration. Its such a clean car I don't want to mess with it too much. Its not that I don't want to build a big HP turbo car though someday i'll buy and build a second s30 with possibly a vg30dett or RB or l28et

ooooo....

they seem bit bland by today's standards in performance, but for the time, fun cars!

what's stock performance...about on par with a DOHC 240 or a little better?

certainly a fun car...i'm just used to a little more pop when driving a Z Hell I drive 350Z's all the time and most people consider them peppy and they're too slow for me. Need some mods lol

Anyway...as for the 280, I'd say it seems to have a little more power and certainly more torque than a DOHC 240sx.
