happy to offer this 1981 Datsun 280ZX with the Grand Luxury
package. This example was made in February 1981 at Nissan's Shatai
Plant in Hiratskua, Kanagawa, Japan. It arrived in the U.S. via the
Port of Seattle, Washington and was shipped via truck to Heinrich
Motors in Hillsboro, Oregon. Dressed in Diamond Mist Metallic over
Medium Blue Metallic (code 998), the car's paint and trim are in
overall great condition but there are some minor blemishes visible
upon close inspection. The windows are clear and intact and the
car's lights are in one-piece and haze-free. This car's bodywork is
straight, the bumpers fit well to the body, the engine bay is very
tidy and the battery looks newer. The cargo area is in decent
condition. This car rolls on radials, P195/70R14, and are wrapped
around factory six-spoke alloy wheels. The tires and wheels are in
overall good order. Under the forward-hinged hood is Nissan's 2.8L
straight SOHC six-cylinder engine (L28E). TheEstood for electronic
multiport fuel injection, provided by Bosch using the L-Jetronic
system, and is one of the first Japanese-produced vehicles to
introduce the technology. For 1981 through 1983, the L28E received
flat top pistons and a high quench head, raising the compression
ratio to 8.8:1. Backing the engine is Borg-Warner's T-5 five-speed
manual transmission, which included oneoverdrivegear and a
lightweight aluminum housing. Driver convenience features include
factory air-conditioning, power steering, power four-wheel disc
brakes, power windows, power sideview mirrors, dual six-way power
seats, power antenna, cruise control, remote hatch release, rear
defroster and rear wiper, updated sound system, tinted windows and
factory T-tops. Inside, the two-tone theme continues with the
Medium Blue (code K) interior with gray accents. The seats, carpet,
headliner, two-spoke steering wheel, inner door panels and
instrument panel are all in original condition and looks fantastic,
though note that the OEM dash pad is showing blemishes. The center
console and the shift lever are both in good order. Completing the
interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. The 280ZX
was a complete redesign, retaining only theL28inline
six-cylinderengine and other driveline components from the280Z.
Both two-seat and four-seat (2+2) designs were offered. Compared to
the more overtly sporting earlier models, the 280ZX was a much
softer, heavier car, with less focus on driving and more on driver
comfort and refinement.Softer suspension, better sound insulation,
more comfortable seats and ample equipment, including high-end
audio systems defined the new ZX. In the spirit of the times,
emissions controls and aerodynamics were markedly improved over the
first generationZ-cars, while weight was down somewhat as long as
the buyer did not pick much from the very long options list.The
exterior design was evolutionary, less rounded and with
better-integrated safety bumpers. Many parts, including the
rear-axle and the power steering came from theDatsun 810luxury
sedan.Most of the design effort went into the entirely different
and much more modern interior.The car became a grand tourer rather
than a sports car, particularly in the plush Grand Luxury versions.
Documentation includes original window sticker, original EPA Fuel
Economy rating guide and original additional equipment dealer
sticker. Competition to this Datsun in 1981 included Alfa Romeo's
GTV6 2.5, the Avanti II, Chevrolet's Corvette, Honda's Prelude,
Mazda's RX-7 and Toyota's Celica Supra. Buy to drive as is and
