No, not in 1980. Nissan first offered a factory turbo as an option on the 280ZX in 1981. It was available that year only with an automatic and a 2 passenger car. In 1982-83 the turbo could be purchased with 5-speed manual, auto, and in either 2 or 4 passenger versions. The L28 turbo engine can be installed in the older model Z-cars though.

What is the gas mileage on a 1981 280zx?

I have a pair of 1980 280zx's 1 is stock 1 has a 60mm throttle body and I get average 29 mpg and 27 mpg the 1981 is the same L28 engine so should be about the same unless its a Turbo then I dont know and 1981 is the first year of the Turbo option Arturo Checking my mpg many times for several years on my 1981 280ZX, I averaged 23.7 MPG. With the cruise control on 55MPH, I never approached getting 25MPG even when driving 100% on the highway. I don't believe the above poster, Arturo, is getting even 27MPG with his 1980 models, let alone 29MPG. I consider the 29MPG ridiculous. And no, I didn't have the "turbo option" on my 280ZX that Arturo mentions. Curtis

Are the cap and rotor the same for 1979 Datsun 280ZX as a 1980?

The distributor cap and rotor for the 1979 Datsun 280ZX and 1980 280ZX should be the same as they both use the L28 inline-six engine. However, it's always best to verify part compatibility by comparing part numbers or consulting with a parts specialist.

Production numbers for 1980 turbo formula firebirds?

As far as I know...ZERO. The turbo engine was a Trans Am option. I've never seen or heard of a 1980 Formula with one. But I suppose that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Is a 1980 Datsun 280zx transmission the same as a 1981 Datsun 280zx transmission?

Yes. For the most part all 1979-1983 280zx transmissions are pretty much the same, manual to manual and auto to auto. The turbo transmission from 81-83 however is a Borg Warner T-5 style toploader. Something tells me through experience is that they will bolt up to a non turbo motor, but the driveshafts and rear end will need to be changed. Also, be aware that the older Z's from 70-78 will bolt up, but the driveshafts would definitely need to be swapped, especially if you are putting a 4 speed into it for whatever reason.

How many miles per gallon should a 1980 Datsun 280zx 2 2 get?

My 1980 280ZX GL model still gets 25mpg after 250,000 miles. A tank of gas (20 gallons) should get you 500 miles. It's a manual 5-speed transmission.
