1977 Datsun 280z Rust free Californian import Original 170HP 2.8 litre fuel injected engine with 5 speed manual Bare metal repaint in 2021 Tax, ULEZ and MOT exempt Up for sale is my 1977 Datsun 280z.This US only model uses the same exterior body shape as the 240/260z, just with a larger fuel injected engine.

The car is exceptionally rust free  and looks to have never seen any welding either – a rare occurrence for these cars! Work done during my ownership, with receipts of all parts kept: Engine/Mechanical Cooling system overhaul: coolant flushed, new thermostat & upper housing, waterpump and belt Fuel injection system overhauled: 6x new fuel injectors, temp sensor, replaced AAR and FPR.

Conversion completed using all new parts where possible. New clutch kit and machined flywheel. New Nissan clutch master and new slave cylinder. New rear main engine seal, gearstick bushings and gearbox mount Z story rear silencer with a… Continue reading...
