Hey all,

Well my aunt has had her 1978 Datsun 280Z since she rolled it off the lot brand new, although she hasn't really used it since 1997, It went on normal little drives and then in 2001 they stopped driving it altogether only because they had a sentra and just bought a PT cruiser. It got a day of action back in 04/05? when my uncle tried to revive it but it wasn't running very well, he drove it to the gas station, put some sea foam in, drove it back home and hasn't started it since.

It's literally been sitting for 9 years with a maybe 25 minute drive inbetween, well my aunt and uncle want to give the Z to me since they know I really liked it and having told them I would like it to stay in the family. I'm not a big Japanese car fan but I'll make an exception for this car since I remember it all my life and thought it was awesome lol

Well since it's been sitting for so long and it hasn't been registered since 2001 AND I'm pretty sure they never placed it on non op for the entire time of sitting so I'm probably going to have to pay the DMV around 800-900$ in fees?

So does anyone own a Z or ever owned one? Any advice on the right steps to get her running good? I can't wait to have her up and running and on a nice loooong drive through the lonely back roads to open it up let it live again!

Here she is, waiting to be driven again lol
