Welcome to ZDriver! 
The 240z-280z (S30) years are 70-78.
The 280zx (S130) years are 79-83. There are two generations of the 280zx:
79-81: Simple bumpers / trim, t-tops intro in 80, turbo intro in 81.
82-83: Integrated bumpers / trim, all cars came w/ turbo NACA hood ducts, talking lady (voice warning box).
Now, where are you looking for parts? MSA? BDA? Nissan? They should all have the proper years listed.
Also check out our "Where to buy parts" thread: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/where-buy-parts-your-280zx-18264/
