Re: 280zx Doors Shaking!
To me, that makes me thing of the window regulators rattling back and forth, or maybe the bottom of the window. Those felt channels that guide the window up and down get thin and allow some slop.
Sometimes, when your door is open, the window will be able to wobble back and forth. It may get so bad tha when you close your door, the window will pull out and stick on the outside of the t-top! (seems like it would break easily) That was the case on an 81 280ZX I had. I had to close the door by gently pushing the top of the glass so it would seal properly.
Anyhoo, that may be a cuse of your door rattling. Also, it might be as simple as the mounting bolts on the hindges being loose. Or maybe the hindges are weak and allow slop. Open your doors and try to pull up on the outside edge. If you can move the door up and down then your hindges are bad or need to be tightened up.

Hey, Thanks for the help! It's not the Window, I think it is the hindges are weak and allow space. Because when U shut the door it dosn't shut all of the way. The Door isint flush if you know what I mean. Is there anyway to adjust the hindges? Thanks a bunch!

If the door is hanging a little low on the back end because of weak hindges, you'll need to fix the hindges first.
If the door just doesn't shut all the way, then you'll need to look at the latch that is bolted to the car itself. That unit is on slotted mounts so you can adjust it in and out a little bit.
