so recently picked up a 2+2 datto 280zx last month it has Side marker blinker-parking light's/brake light's and gauge wiring issue's so my cluster doesn't work for now.but the headlight's work just fine.picked it up from eagle mountain ut.bone tock L28E i did a full tune up plus a pertronix flamethrower coil,it's been parked in my back yard since so now this upcoming week im gettin her on the road for sure as the new daily/ratsun resto.you really don't see these car's done up cause people have a hard time excepting a 2+2 body style but i can see past that....well here is the sneak peak and time to start this car's timeline.

looks good i picked up an 82 slick top for 200 a few weeks ago it had the same wiring prob and all it was is the fusible link by the battery

JDMForm · **Posted:** Sat May 26, 2012 7:26 pm

thanks man i guess i should have posted before i posted pics,that when i got the car it had light issues and interior electrical issues.me and my friend fixed the parking lights and turn signals and i fixed all the interior electrical issues being stereo,cigarette outlet,lighting so everything works.next i wanna pick up some wheels,then paint,then RB25DET swap.
