Post it on craigslist or similar local classifieds & see if it sells.

If you want to be forever broke... buy a Z32TT

Make sure you also buy a Honda Civic or something at the same time, so that you'll have something to drive during the 9 months out of the year that your twin turbo is broke down

So you are giving up already? You only barely had it a month, and your throwing in the towel? And getting a Z32TT? Big time maintenance, as people have said. You are looking at a money pit. The 280zx is user friendly, compared to most vehicles you see. Unless it is a good old American V-8, but they don't last as long as a good ol' Datsun. Anyway my opinion, don't give up yet. If I thought that way, when I was restoring my 280zx. He still would be looking like a basket case. I have come a long way, and have reaped the rewards. And as soon as I get him back onto the road again, which will be soon. I will have more rewards to receive. Keep at it man, it will be worth it. You got a steal for that car, and you haven't put that much into it. You are close, I know it, I wish I was closer, so I could help you out. Keep asking us questions, and we will try and continut feeding you advice, and tips, so you can get your Z running.
