<div dir="ltr">My bad, they just seemed like twice as much but it's 180 degree headers. Two of the tubes went under the oil pan and the tubes were so long he had to cut the firewall and rout it where the passenger seat used to be. After selecting the cam shaft he tuned the headers to be perfect at his target RPM. He even fluted the ends. A work of art and for some reason I can't find Andy Nelson's pictures online anymore :(<br>

<div> <font>I bought my 280Z new in 1978 for $8500 (included dealer installed AC). I bought it because one of my friends got a 260Z while I was still in school and I thought it was cool. Another friend bought a TR6 new the year before and that's what I decided I wanted to buy when I graduated but by the time I finished school the TR6 was gone and it was the first year for the TR7. Went and looked at a new TR7 but was not impressed so I bought the Z.<br>

<div>They were about $3200 going up to over $5000 for the 74 260Z. Plus you had to wait 6 to 12 months for delivery. Rust in the pressed frame rails was a real problem. Ran circles around a TR6.</div>

<div> <font>Obviously a tweeked engine and aftermarket exhaust. Sounds sweet.<br>
<br>
The first new car I ever bought, right after I got out of college, was a 1978 280Z. By then they had gotten heavy, went to fuel injection and had the big bumpers but it was still a very sweet ride. Loved that car. I don't see many first gen Z cars anymore (at least here in Iowa) but everytime I do I have to take a closer look and go back into the time machine of my youth.<br>
