Love the wheels, if I could only get them in a 16” to clear my willwood big brake upgrade I would by them. I’ve only seen them in 15 and 14 inch. I’m running panasports on my 240z so it still looks good but I like the shakotans look better. Nice job you’ve done there on your Z. Good to see the younger generations still into fixing up the old cars!
Sweet man, looks awesome! I just picked up those shakotan wheels for my 260 but realized the center cap isn’t going to fit over my front hub, what center caps are you using?
I'm 5'10, I definitely think you'd be able to fit. I have room to move the seat back quite a bit still and I have a decent amount of head room because the seat is so low.
I absolutely loved mine I had from 94 to 98 I spent a lot of money on it $600 car yours is absolutely amazing I love watch you riding around
we might be purchasing another one to restore so stay tuned for more 280z videos !
car looks nice, hold on to it, they keep appreciating like crazy...
Amazing job! The car looks beautiful!
Thank you! I really love the color. It a Ford candy blue.
Looks fantastic!! My first car some 35 years ago
Just the way I remember my buddy’s bright yellow Z

Yeah I love this style as well, these are 15s.
Smart kid💯👍
well done
I owned a maroon 1978 280Z. Wish I had not sold in 1987. Still dream about it.
You could alway get another one!
Your brother’s name is ford? Thats so cool
Yup that’s his name lol named after our great grandfather Ford Hughes.
@@ModifiedImportsandDomestics damn..

Yeah we're not running center caps in the front, we just painted the dust caps silver so it looks like it has a center cap.

Did you find out what the loss in power or why it cut out? My 78 will do that as well.
It ended up being the timing, it was slightly off so once we adjusted that, it was running like a champ
Do you know what tire specs he is running? Great looking car
idk tbh you can message him on instagram @ford_tsakis
Nice car I really like it specially the color 😍 I need the color code or number
It's Ford candy blue
how tall is your brother i'm 6'3" and i'd like to buy one but i'm afraid my size won't fit
I'm 5'10, I definitely think you'd be able to fit. I have room to move the seat back quite a bit still and I have a decent amount of head room because the seat is so low.
Somebody forgot to install the mirrors
My brother said he likes how it looks without out the mirrors so he left them off.
What is the diameter of your steering wheel? Where did you get it from?
I have one I'm selling. Same one.
Those AFM’s can be finicky. Did you ever find the problem?
The timing wasn't correct so we adjusted it and got it running correctly.
those who knows know
Maybe not enough gas presser at the higher rpms.
Grill looks like crap.
