Good news, the engine starts, but leaky fuel tank. Car has been sent to Autosave Racing in Bandar Sunway. They have gotten my car towed from Batu Pahat to there. Once the car was there, the car was jacked up and checked for fuel leak. They drained the fuel tank afterwards and proceed with fixing the leak issue. More photos attached below! I'd like to hear how the Z starts up and drives!

Hi Kevin i thought u got a Z ady?
Anyway for your info i bought a 280ZX from this guy too just like U only via the photo provided.
Body of the car definately have to do but problem is front left side of window glasses when missing n i took 2months for the ordering n all wiring have to re-do back due to chopping here n there. Now just after transfer of name n ispection by JPJ, hope to start my project soon.

Saw this car on the towtruck around 8pm last night at sunway...

wow, even the front bumper does not match the rear. the front bumper came from the facelifted model which is supposed to have a different rear light set and bumper.

well it seems the 1987 did not had the facelifted single bar rear, only 1988 model and above had it

but the 1987 did had the kouki front bumpers, so this are correct in a way

yup my 2nd z31 had a kouki front with zenki rear... dunno if it came from factory like that or previous owner swapped it. looked kinda original to me cos there are some modifications required to fit kouki bodyparts onto zenki chassis...

note: zenki (early model)-84-86, kouki (late model) - 87-88

Thanks to Edison of Autosave, I am able to give photographic progress to the car. The following has been done to the car:

- fuel tank repair
- fuel hose replaced
- Service fuel pump
- Clean and service ignition coil
- Spark plugs replaced
- Battery replaced
- Top up engine oil and radiator water
