Injector question

Hi guys my first post here and I am looking into buying hopefully a 280zx that I am going to look at right now. From what I have learn the car has injector leak is that hard to fix? What should I look for beside rust in on the body?

Welcome to ZDriver!

If the injectors are leaking internally (leaky needle or from the body), you don't "fix" them, you replace them. If they are leaking from the rail to injector fuel hose, pull & replace hose.

And we have a 280zx buying checklist: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/280zx-common-problems-checklist-purchase-inspection-16386/

Hey thank you so much you been very helpful but when I went to see the car it turn out is a major project. Car been sitting for 6-7 years, interior was forget cracked so you would need to put it all new specially the dashboard. There were lots of rust around specially under the wheel area and the floor. One cracked T-top glass and from what I heard, ... they been trying to turn the engine over but with no luck the car sits there. No air on the tires so I would had needed to pick up new tires. Overall in order to restore the car I would have to spend way too much money right now. So, I think I will continue looking for another one and I will use that check list you have provided. Thanks!
