yes, its the same engine l28e
Try Nissanparts.com. I just bought one for my 1981 280zx.
I have a 1979 280zx also and just changed it it is located near the gas tank under the car in the passenger side
on a Nissan 280zx from 1979 to 1981 everything on the entire car is the same even down to the body doors and hatch
Nope, im looking for it also but for a Datsun 280ZX Nissan and Datsun are the same thing, however if you have the Chilton's Repair Manual for the NISSAN Z&ZX 1970-1988(which you should) I believe it's number 52800, you can find the vacuum diagram in section 4 page 26 That diagram is for a N/A 280ZX and only for the emmissions. I need a complete diagram for a 280ZX Turbo, 1981. I have the Automatic Climate Control and it is a California model. Can anyone help?
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.
The 1981 Nissan 280ZX was available without a turbo (NA) and with a turbo. With the turbo Nissan only offered an automatic transmission for this year. It was the first year for the Z series to have a turbo.
prob a vacume leak
yes
You can log on to the NADA website. Click on classic cars. then enter the information about you car. They will give you 3 individual estimates depending on the condition of your car. Hope this helps.
yes. it has the L28e or L28et. It will fit in any of the Z's. If it's turbo and the other tranny and rear end you have are for a non-turbo then you need the turbo tranny and rear end
