1983 Nissan 280ZX Reviews, Pricing & Specs

great classic zcar. make sure you get the turbo motor with the five-speed gearbox. the engine is easy to work on and the car is fun to drive. I had a blast with this car when i owned mine. these cars can be had for very little money if you are willing to put a little work into them. I highly recommend owning one for anyone looking for a good "driver's car"Aug 06, 2009

Please. It's a classic. What's not to love? And by the way, it's a Datsun, not a Nissan. It even holds up by todays standards, cornering like a fiend and having just the right amount of power to come out of a corner strong but not so much that you produce wheel spin. It's relatively cheap to maintain, great looking, good sounding unique piece of corvette eatin' history. Nov 15, 2008

the paint i think might be original on mine, and the body is gorgeous. the 2800 cc straight-six only puts out 153 ponies from the factory, but the car only weighs 2400 lbs, so there isn't all that much to push. Another advantage of being so light is the handling, which is amazing, even on mid-grade tires. the braking is great. i have never locked the tires up (has no ABS). the grand luxury trim is LOADED with so many things that were ahead of its time. Many of the features still aren't standard on many modern cars. would recommend to any classic Asian sport scar lover!Aug 26, 2008

This car has great handling, and although it's acceleration is not spectacular, its still better than your average car. My particular one is in poor condition cosmetically, but the engine runs great and sounds great. In general, though, the car looks awesome, specifically the later models. I would definitely reccomend this car, lots of fun and a great car.Jul 16, 2008
