this is a 1980 ZX280. i bought it when i was 17 and i didn't know anything about cars or restoration. it turned out that it was "repaired" with body filler and painted over. i realized i can't manage the build so i put it away to my dad's garage to wait when the time is right. the car was imported in early 90's by UN peacekeeper. it has fuel injected 2.8 with auto trans.Feb 21, 2013

it was a ok car i had a blast driving it. I like the independent front and rear suspention on the car and it was a 5 speed so it was a fun little car. It got great gas mileage and it was a very un known car so it got all kinds of attention.Feb 06, 2011

It looks good and drives like a dream. Although it is automatic, the kickback you felt when you put your foot down was something else!! Would definitely have another one but can't afford one at the moment. Lovely cars if you like this sort of thing.Apr 03, 2010

i Loved this car especially as i got given it in AQmerica. Ok its a Datsun but my god did it chip! Still actually own it in theory but well its somewhere in California lol. Oh yeah and i am glad the petrol prices are so low over there as when the speed went up the gas went down at about the same rate lolDec 16, 2009

I have had this car for several years and she is in storage right now. She needs a lot of work but still runs like a striped ass ape. Slowly but surely, I will rebuild her. This was the first year of the new wider body style.Nov 17, 2009

I like the bodystyle and i like the setup on this car .The performance isnt bad for an 81 datsun,but engine swap is soon to come.its a blast to drive and you cant keep it straight in the snow.Mar 16, 2009

It drives like a bullet, very fast. A straight 6 in a small car rocks.I've had that car up to 165 m.p.h. and it was as smooth as a fresh shave. Roomy inside and easy to work on, this car is a blast. If you find one for sale, you must buy it, you won't be dissappointed.Aug 01, 2008

I drove this car for about six months. I lost it to my ex wife. She let it sit in the yard and waste away. Was a good car wish I had more time with it. Mar 31, 2008
