    school me on Datsun Z cars

    Might buy one, looking at a 1980 280zx on CL right now.

    Any experience/thoughts/advice on these?

            don't go for a zx. the earlier 240/260/280z are where its at. Ideally, you could find a good 240z with no rust. My brother has had 2 of them, and they drive great, and are still one of the best looking cars out there.

              If you want to do dumb/awesome stuff to it... HybridZ.org. I've wasted lots of time reading awesome build threads on that site.

                I'd go for an S30 chassis myself. I've always thought the S130 is quite ugly in comparison. That said, the late S30's are ugly with the diving boards but that's an easy fix thanks to Arizona Z.

                      From what I've seen and read online, they are a lot like E30's except not as plentiful, more 'collector car' demand, as or more susceptable to problem rust and because of the afore mentioned, generally more expensive for cars and parts.

                      IIRC you are a younger guy with a young guy's budget and not a whole lot of general technical knowledge. I don't think one of these cars would be a good project for you right now if so.
