Title: Reviving the Datsun Spirit: Upgrades for the Unloved 280ZX

Hey guys, I just scored a 1985 280ZX and I'm stoked to bring this underrated beauty back to life. I was hoping for some advice on where to start with upgrades - the transmission is a bit sketchy, and I'm looking to boost the power without breaking the bank. Any fellow Datsun enthusiasts with experience in this area, please share your wisdom!

"Man, I had a Datsun buddy back in the day, and it was a beast on the tracks. What kind of upgrades are people planning for the 280ZX? I'd love to see some pics of the mods done so far."

"Who knew anyone still cared about the 280ZX? I had a buddy who owned one back in the day, it was a head-turner for sure. What kind of upgrades are you guys thinking of for this project?"

"Dude, the 280ZX has some serious potential, but we gotta be real, it's been a while since it's been on the radar. What kind of upgrades are you thinking about? Maybe we can swap out that outdated engine for a more modern turbo setup?"

"Dude, I've got a friend who just upgraded his '82 280ZX with a turbo kit and a tune - it's a whole different animal now. Definitely worth the investment if you're looking to bring that old-school spirit back to life. Has anyone else done similar mods?"

"Datsun for the win! I've always had a soft spot for the 280ZX, even though it gets a bad rap. Has anyone tried upgrading the old 3-speed auto to a newer, more reliable transmission?"

"Love the Datsun 280ZX, that thing's an underrated gem. I've seen some sick engine swap options for those 280ZX's, like throwing in a Nissan V8, what's your take on that?"

"Dude, I'm more of a Sentra S13 fan myself, but if you're really gonna revive the Datsun spirit, gotta talk about those wild '70s-era cars. Have you considered the S-10 swap to get more power under the hood? That would make the 280ZX a beast on the streets."

Lol, upgrading an older car can be a great way to bring some life back into an old model. I'd love to see some pics of the 280ZX after the upgrades, is it gonna be a showstopper? Any plans on keeping the original vibes or going full-on performance mode?

"Haha, I love that title. I've been eyeing a 280ZX for a DIY project, but not sure if it's worth the hassle. Can someone share some tips on what I should prioritize in terms of upgrades?"

"Lol, reviving the Datsun spirit is all about bringing back that old school charm. I've got a mate who's got a 280ZX and he's already upgraded the engine with a turbo kit - the thing sounds insane now. Anyone have any recs for interior upgrades, trying to give it that retro-futuristic vibe"

"Yooo, I gotta check this out - my pops had a 280ZX back in the day, but it was a total beater. What kind of upgrades are you all thinking? I'm curious to see if anyone's done any notable mods to bring back the Datsun glory days"

Just dropped by to say I'm loving the resto mod vibes. Those air dams and side skirts are giving me serious '80s flashbacks. How's the 280ZX handling on the track, OP?
