I need of a replacement thermostat housing as the old one is crumbling out of existence. Would prefer new EM or equivalent. Anyone know where I can still source one? This is a 3 bolt cover. Burson tell me they no longer supply here in Aus.
The engine is at 285,000km.
The engine doesn't burn oil.
The engine noise is (or was) low.
I'm not sure how much damage the overheating did when the head gasket blew.
I will definitely getting the cylinder head re-worked.
I have a 1980 280zx which just blew a head gasket. Should I ask the workshop to remove the entire engine assembly or just go with removal of the cylinder head and recondition that alone?
If anyone has indicative figures on the cost of
a) a cylinder head recon
b) an entire engine overhaul
That might indicate a way forward.
I was heading along Warigal Road in my 280zx the other day and heard a crack! On arrival home I found the top trim of the winshield missing.. Anyone got a replacement as it looks like crap without it. The year is 1980 Datsun 280zx 2+2. Colour is siver.
Cheers.
Hi
Im looking for a new ignition lock for 280zx 1980. Existing one will not give my key back!
Also need a lot of plastic trims especially passenger side air vent adjacent to door. Existing plastic is blue (or a powdery white in places ) but I guess I can recolour if you have a good condition replacement.
