The Nissan/Datsun 280 ZX was produced from 1979 through 1983 as a three-door hatchback sport coupe. In the American market, the 280ZX was sold as a Datsun and in other markets it was badged as a Nissan.
It was built as a replacement for the 280Z, a complete redesign keeping only the L28 engine and a few other mechanical components. It sat atop of the Nissan 510's platform and suspension comprised of McPherson struts in the front and an independent rear trailing arm. To improve performance, a turbocharger was offered as optional equipment beginning in 1981. The L28ET engine and turbocharger increased horsepower to an impressive 180. The gearbox was a 3-speed automatic unit. Adding to the performance, a Borg-Warner T-5 5-speed manual gearbox became available in 1982 and 1983.
After production of the 280 ZX, Nissan/Datsun began offering the 300ZX as its replacement.
