I finally posted one of my videos of the old 2+2 online. I thought you guys might want to take a look at it. I have a few more videos that I could post if you like this one so let me know.

P.S.- Yeah I know, I need an LSD...

 

nice. I came across that one a couple weeks ago, while trying to find out where my vid went.

 

here's a couple other 280zx vids from Google... I have a couple in there too:

Yeah dude I've seen your videos on several websites. I especially like the one with that C4 Corvette, that thing is a freaking beast.

 

Your vid is purdy sick tho... excelent exhaust sound. How ya like that cam? You dyno'd it yet?

 

so in that video where the guy is showing off his intrior, whats the deal with that light on the dash that lights up OK and then goes through a bunch of different functions? i know he's got the digi-dash, but my analog gauge cluster has a very simmilar hole right where that light should be. should my car have one? what does it do?

 

yeppers... all 280zx's (minus the base model w/ no powersteering & manual windows) had the warning display. You should have a black stick button right beside the box... push it & it will give you a check of the basics. Every time you start your car it should do the check...

OK means "OK"
Red screen means something is wrong... push the button & it tells you.

 

Mine says "Nut Behind Wheel" in red. What's that mean?

 

^ Really? Mine says "OH ****".

 

mine might be busted then, i've never seen it come on, will have to investigate further



what kind of stuff is it able to diagnose?

 

nothing that you can't check yourself anyway... it's just an advisory for those that might not be car "Savy."

Warnings:

Brake / head / turn signal light out... washer fluid low, coolant low (Euro models also have "battery level" which is dumb cuz if the batter is dead... it's not gunna work anyway.

Watch that vid again... it shows all the steps.

 

warning, your battery is at 10 volts and in about 2 seconds when you try to start your car, well.... it won't start. If this stupid automatic computer didn't draw 3 amps just to turn on, then maybe you would have been ok. Have a nice Z day.

 

^ROFL! So true. My Mustang does that to me.

 

Good stuff, Good stuff.. I wish my Z ran so that I could post my Z vid..

 

Nismo, the 2+2 is unfortunatly wrecked. I never got a chance to dyno the new motor before I wrecked it but hopfully sometime soon. Im swapping the motor and hopfully the CV rear-end into my new '79 2-seater. It would have been done a few months ago but Im at school and the cars at home. I'll post vids of the new car as soon as I get it running.
