Datsun 280z Road Test (L28 Straight Pipe Exhaust)

The time has come to finally get the Datsun 280z out for it's first drive after making numerous repairs. This is only the second time I have driven the car in 3 years. The L28 engine in my car is running a straight pipe exhaust which makes for a lot of sound. I discuss some initial thoughts on driving the 280z and briefly go over some of the future plans for the build. This shake down drive also exposes other issues that will need to be addressed with the suspension, cooling system, and electrical.
