Today we picked up a Datsun

[toypower]

We picked up this nice Datsun 280zx, original turbo.

It's for a restoration project, but has Mot for one year...

[KristianAE86]

i did not know they came with turbo as stock though

WOW nice ride, we have some turbo examples driving around my town...they can be very quick...but they are heavy as hell.

[robokill]

lol @ rims those where made during the days of the ae86 :-)

n1 car you got alot of time and money on your hands

[banpei]

Wow.. Very nice.

I thought (just as Kristian) that these cars did not have a turbo, except for the latest models with the square lights.

[Mux213]

Whow, what a good looking car that is!

Does it need alot of work?

[Ivan141]

Very nice..I think it's highly likely that those are original AE86 rims...did those come of your hachi toypower? They have similar sizes as the ae86 rims, I should know because I have both a stock set of 280ZX wheels and s pair of revolution rims I took from a 280Z.
Are you going to repaint it or is the paint still in good enough condition to preserve?

[Richie]

Congrats on the new procject

[nmwisima]

Woooo. Fantastic!!!
Project? There is one of these, in america i think, with a tuned V8 engine in it -from a Camaro or something- producing 9++ PS. Thats a project

[toypower]

It's a project of another one. We hope we could help to rebuild the 280zx.

Yes it's an 1983 Datsun 280zx original turbo. 1 of the 91 who came to the
Netherlands.

It's in a bad state, rust everywhere. So it will be driven for 1 or 2 months
and then we're going to strip this.
Then a big welding job is needed, but that is not a problem.

Then the car will be repainted.
