What is causing the 1979 Datsun 280zx to lose acceleration in 2nd gear and on?

I would look at several things. I would start by checking for vacuum leaks, such as intake gaskets, injector seals, vacuum hoses, etc. I would then check compression across all cylinders to make sure they are within @ 5-8 psi of each other. More than 10 psi difference could cause the engine to lag. The greater the loss of vacuum or compression, the more exaggerated loss of power gets. I would also check the ignition timing. It dont have to be off much for lack of performance. Good luck!

Where is the fuel pump relay on a 1979 Datsun 280zx?
It is outside of the fuel tank close to the rear passenger wheel. Can't miss the big silver/chrome tubular device sticking out with lines and wires coming off it.
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.

the largest round one they have. note- when putting a cold air intake on a z car, you need your MAF sensor rebuilt to take a cold air intake or even just an after market filter. the sensor's are really weird and don't last very long
