This 1977 Datsun 280Z was acquired by the seller and his father as a project in 2009, and it was subsequently refurbished and modified. The exterior was refinished in orange, a MOMO Super Cup bucket seat was fitted in the black interior, and a rebuilt 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was installed along with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. Additional modifications include a Quaife limited-slip differential, Swift springs, Tokico adjustable shocks, disc brakes with Wilwood components, a stainless-steel exhaust system with 3″ piping, Schroth four-point harnesses, a roll cage, front and rear spoilers.
The exterior was reportedly refinished in Lamborghini Arancio Ishtar and has been fitted with front and rear tow points, a Xenon front air dam, a BRE rear hatch spoiler, “5.7L LS1” badging, and a 1973-specification tail panel, bumpers, and turn signals. The antenna has been removed and the seller notes some blemishes on the driver’s window as well as rock chips on the front end.
16″ Konig Rewind wheels with machined lips are fitted with ARP wheel studs and Gorilla lug nuts, and the wheels are mounted with 225/50 Toyo Proxes R888 tires. The suspension is said to have been fitted with 7k and 8k Swift springs, Tokico five-way adjustable shocks, and an ST Suspensions front sway bar as well as Techno Toy Tuning front lower control arms, front and rear bolt-in camber plates and upper hats, and front and rear strut tower braces. Braking upgrades include Wilwood front calipers with 300mm slotted discs, 240SX-specification rear discs, a Tilton brake booster and master cylinder, and a Wilwood brake-bias controller.
The cabin is trimmed with black upholstery and features a MOMO Super Cup bucket seat for the driver, Schroth four-point harnesses, and a four-point roll cage. Additional equipment includes a MOMO steering wheel, replacement Skillard door panels, a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, a radio blanking plate, and a push-button ignition switch sourced from a Honda S2000. The center console has been removed and the battery was relocated to the rear cargo shelf.
Instrumentation includes an AutoMeter 10k-rpm tachometer and a factory 160-mph speedometer, the latter of which is currently disconnected and does not work unless the sensor for the reverse lockout is unplugged. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles.
The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was reportedly installed in 2018 and rebuilt over the ensuing two years, and it is said to feature a .020” overbore, Precision Race Components cylinder heads, and a performance camshaft as well as Texas Speed & Performance valve spring retainers and rocker arm trunnions. Additional equipment includes an LS7-specification oil pump, a Texas Speed & Performance oil pan baffle, a Moroso air-oil separator, a two-quart ALusump oil aLumulator, a Lingenfelter crank-sensor trigger conversion module, a Speartech wiring harness, and a John’s Cars radiator paired with electric cooling fans sourced from a 2000 Camaro.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rebuilt Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and a Nissan R200 rear axle with a 3.55:1 Quaife limited-slip differential. Additional modifications are said to include a Tilton clutch master cylinder and an aluminum driveshaft. The stainless-steel exhaust system features John’s Cars headers paired with 3″ piping, V-Band clamps, and a Borla muffler.
