This beautiful (sorry, you can't see it in this video) 5 speed 280 Z has an awesome running new 2.8 L with Clifford Research 4 barrel intake manifold. The Holley 390 sucked so I swapped a jetted and tuned Edelbrock 500 that combines the best of all worlds for performance, drive-ability, and reliability. Easy starts, hard pulls to redline, and great low RPM manners in the neighborhood and around town. I'm running hotter plug with less shrouding for faster warm-up and better around town drive-ability. Previously, for maximum performance, I've run the colder shade of NGK plug allowing for more ignition advance- it's pretty awesome! Enjoy the clips.

Took the 1972 Fairlady for a spin on the new falken ziex 512's and NGK iridium plugs. The tires are 185/60/14s on the fronts, 205/60/14s on the rears, which are mounted to the US Trans Am libre style wheels commonly found on BRE race 510s and Zs, They measure 14x5.5, they are cast aluminum with a polished lip and way a whopping 12.3lbs. The car has a 3 spd automatic so its a bit slow but after this winter it will have a 5spd with r200 lsd and the body work will be finished too, not half assed lol.

WAS OFFERED THIS CAR FROM A GOOD MECHANIC FRIEND WHO HAD NO TIME TO FINISH IT. WITH LESS THAN A 100000 MILES IT SAT FOR 15 YEARS FROM WIFE WHO JUST COULD NOT SELL HER LATE HUSBAND CAR.. IT NEVER MOVED AN INCH ALL THAT TIME IN THE GARAGE. ALL THE RUBBER WAS HARD AS A ROCK. AND THE ENGINE SIEZED.... THE HEAD WAS PULLED AND HARDENED VALVE SEATS WERE INSTALLED AND ALL NEW STAINLESS STEEL VALVES ..THE HEAD WAS TOTALLY RESTORED BETTER THAN NEW... IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS THE REBUILD THE CARBURATORES AND MANIFOLD TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE. THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION WAS REBUILT WITH TOKIKO SUSPENSION PARTS. MASTER CYLINDER ,DISCS, WATERPUMP,OIL PUMP ,FUEL PUMP, AIR PUMP,CLUTCH CYLINDER,, ALL NEW TRANSMISSON SEALS AND ALL NEW U-JOIINTS,,SHOCKS,RADIATOR FRONT AND REAR STABALIZER BARS WERE ADDED.

AND HANDLES TERRIBLE IN WET WEATHER WITH CHEAP TIRES ON IT..IN A TURN IT WILL BREAK THE TIRES LOOSE IN AN INSTANT,AND THE ASS END WILL HANG WAY TO FAR OUT IN NO MANS LAND.
