The Datsun 280Z, a legendary sports car produced by Nissan from 1974 to 1978, represented a significant evolution of the original 240Z. The 1977 model, the focus of this service repair manual, embodied the culmination of the 280Z's refinement. Under its sleek, flowing lines lay a powerful 2.8-liter inline-six engine, producing 170 horsepower.

The 280Z's handling was lauded for its precision and responsiveness, thanks in part to its independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. The 1977 model also featured several improvements over its predecessors, including a more robust rear suspension, revised suspension tuning, and improved brakes.
