My friend is thinking about buying one. Is there anything that I should tell him to watch out for these cars other than rust and the usual--motor, clutch, drivetrain. I have never heard of any problems with these cars, then again I never owned one. Thanks in advance guys.
 
I've over my head in work this winter and it is good to be back. Yeah all the cars are doing just fine, thanks. How is your NSX doing?
 
The Datsun 280ZX is one of my all time fav.
I had one that logged over 300K miles.
It went through 2 tranny ($500 each time)
Clutch were replace during tranny transplant ($189)
2 alternators ($89 each)
Fuel injection relay ($35)

Rust was my bigggest problem, good luck.

My brother had a 280ZX for a short period of time and had major transmission problems, I've heard that this problem is common in Z-cars of that vintage. No first hand experience though.
