Hot Car 4 Sale

"If you don't want looks of admiration in the traffic, don't buy this sexy car!
Look NO more or you may be tempted...it's for your own good."
Smitten? Keep reading..




This car has been much adored since I purchased it in August 2004, from a lovely old man, who had it as his pride and joy from it's showroom days. He was only parting with the Silver Bullet because he physically couldn't get into it anymore. I was happy to take up the mantle of love for this car! And now since I'm leaving WA, maybe I'll pass it on to you, if you're lucky?

Darryl the mechanic offers full service history and has the books to prove it. It has been in no accidents except one little shopping centre ding - darn trolleys! It's future... up to you.

Please feel free to email me at kymr@riverviewchurch.com.au if you're keen..



It's all about the little things with these Japanese designed beauties.

Voted best import car of 1979, this car has great qualities, very hot statement for a small price. You can feel the quality just by opening the door and starting the engine. Smooth alloy wheels...

The 280ZX stereo sound was a luxury feature at the time but a new CD player would kick in this little beast! There's a rotating toggle to move the sound balance - very unique!

The upolstery has been well kept, as the sheepskin seat covers have been on it since I had it. Not to mention the funky illuminated dash lights, which you can dim to your desired brightness.

It's all the little things...

Nissan 280ZX // history

This is the turbocharged model (using the L28ET engine rated at 180 hp), introduced in 1981, and was available with a 3-speed automatic transmission only.

At the time of release, the 280ZX Turbo was the fastest Japanese import in the American market, and was the fastest production car money could buy, apart from two exotics (the Porsche 911SC and 928).

The L28ET used a single Garrett AiResearch TB03 turbocharger and no intercooler. Boost was limited to 6.8 psi. Other modest changes were made to the L28, with compression reduced from 8.3:1 to 7.4:1, and some minor strengthening of the engine block and rings.

The normally aspirated 280ZX with a 3-speed automatic delivered 0-60 mph times of 7.8 seconds, and a very respectable quarter mile time of 16.6 seconds.



Engineering
The 280ZX's body was redesigned with aerodynamics in mind. Closing in the open grille of the first generation Z-car and other improvements taken from wind-tunnel testing, the cd was reduced from 0.467 to 0.385, and lift coefficient from 0.41 to 0.14. The new design had a lower center-of-gravity and near 50/50 weight distribution in both 2-seater and 2+2 designs. The rear of the car was stretched to accommodate a larger 80 L fuel tank. Overall, the new body design gave better fuel economy and high-speed stability (one of the known issues from the first generation Z-car).

Interior
The dashboard and instrument panel is in great nick and is angled toward the driver like they're doing again in recent model cars. Blue leather steering wheel had endured the years well and the stainless steel sound system facing catches your eye, as does the whole car when you drive past. Unfortunately the tape player isn't working and the foam pading on the drivers arm rest has seen better days but otherwise the upholstery is in good condition

Mechanical
I've had no major problems with this car (except the odd flat battery from leaving the interior light on) and as it has been taken good care of by Darryl, her mechanic since new.

At this low low price she wont stay on sale for long.. only $4900o.n.o
