Ahead of its time, the Datsun 280z was a showcase of technological advancement with features such as electrical fuel injection and an ECU. Yet time has not been kind to such tech, causing poor performance and reliability.

At Petrolhead-Emotion our philosophy is always one of asking Why? Whilst being sticklers for originality, we pride ourselves on pushing the benchmark on improving classic cars. Our Black Pearl Datsun 280z came with a matching L28 motor mated to an original Dogleg 5 speed Nissan Racing Gearbox, so it was only fair to build a Datsun Motor worthy of its partner.

After considering Independent Throttle bodies, selecting Original Triple Weber Carburettor’s soon became the apparent choice. Whilst this motor was built totally stock (OEM) with an original specification cylinder head and crank, the addition of the Triple Weber Carburettor’s soon provided the added performance, reliability and sense of theatre this piece of Automotive Art deserved.

We at Petrolhead-Emotion have lovingly spent thousands of hours on every detail perfecting your Datsun car, so you don’t have to.
