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

Did the 1980 280zx offer a turbo engine?
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.

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.

Where is the crank sensor on a 1981 280zx turbo?
The 1981 280ZX Turbo does not have a traditional crankshaft position sensor like modern vehicles. Instead, it uses a combination of a distributor and ignition timing mechanisms to determine engine position. The distributor is located on the front of the engine, near the intake manifold, and plays a key role in timing the ignition based on the engine's rotation. If you're troubleshooting ignition issues, checking the distributor and its components is essential.
