280ZX With its curvaceous exterior and iconic nose, the Datsun
280ZX coupe is one of Japan's timeless sports cars. We at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars are pleased to offer this 1981 model,
which was made in Nissan's Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan in February
1981. Dressed in Light Brown (code 842), the car's paint and trim
are in overall great condition, however the side view mirror
housings show some blemishes and there are other, miscellaneous
minor blemishes noticeable at close range. The glass panes are in
great shape, except for the driver's side view mirror, which is
cracked. The car's lights are clear and intact. This Z-car's
bodywork is straight and solid, its engine bay is tidy, the battery
looks great and the bumpers fit tightly to the body and the rear
cargo area is in very good order. The�L28E�is the enlarged 2.8L
SOHC engine produced from 1975 to 1984 and equipped with flat top
pistons. The�E stands 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
model year 1981, the L28E had a high quench head, raising the
compression ratio to 8.8:1. Buttoned to the motor is a Borg-Warner
T-5 five-speed manual transmission. Driver convenience features
include T-top removable roof panels, air-conditioning, power
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes with discs in front, power
windows, rear window defroster and rear window wiper/washer. This Z
rolls on new General Altimax RS radials, size 205/70R14 at all four
corners, surrounding factory six-spoke alloy wheels. Inside, the
tan interior (code C), the tan leather bucket seats are in
near-excellent order, with the matching carpet in similar shape.
The headliner is in satisfactory condition and the two-spoke
steering wheel looks great. The instrument panel has a full set of
gauges, with the ancillary ones tilted toward the driver. However,
the dash pad has multiple blemishes across the top. However, the
inner door panels look good while the center console and shifter
are in satisfactory order. Completing the interior is a factory
AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. The 280ZX was a complete redesign,
retaining only the�L28�inline-six�engine and other driveline
components from the�280Z. 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-generation�Z-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 the�Datsun 810�luxury 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 owner's manual, original sales brochure and a
copy of the Haynes Repair Manual for the '81 Datsun 280ZX.
