1977 DATSUN 280Z "GNOSE" CONVERSION
Just in time to catch the end of the summer…. This is one of my projects, and its time to let it go! I've included photos to show the process as I completed her. I started with a super clean 1977 Datsun 280Z, with the goal of taking it to as close to a JDM Gnose Z as I can. The car has been gone through, and is in great running condition. Transmission shift is solid and clean. Flaws: *( there isn't much ) The only minor negatives…. #1: a small dent in the passenger rear quarter, just above the marker light *( see photo ).. of course, like all car guy's, it was someone else who christened the car with a first dent for me. :-/ #2: Dash cap warped a bit from the sun… This is going to done before its sold, but figured I'd mention it from the photo's you can see it. I left it in the sun on a hot day, and came back to find it that way. *****This will be replaced prior to sale!***** The car is in great condition, and can be driven or showed the way it is. Here is the list of what has been done in the last year: New Yellow Paint ( Matching color OE…. body totally straight, NO RUST IN BODY FOUND ) New Blk Carpet interior Full "Z Car Customs-JDM" Gnose Conversion w/ CF front Bumper (Custom) Gnose Hinges ZG Lens Convers "Z Car Customs-JDM" ZG 14" Hubcaps ( Correct from Japan ) Chrome Fender Mirrors ( Correct from Japan ) JDM Rear Taillights (Correct from Japan) Rear 240Z Bumper Conversion Rear Tow Bracket New Door/Hatch seals. New fan clutch New Wires New Plugs New oil Custom Alternator Bracket - "Z Car Customs-JDM" Injector seals replaced Complete tune-up *( Just completed ) New Brakes all around New Fuel pump w/ relay wiring circuit New Clear Marker Lights New Turn Marker in Headlight buckets ( Custom ) Short Air intake ( Custom ) New EGR block off plate Vented hood New Locks in Doors New Shifter Bushing All gauges work (YES>>CLOCK WORKS!!!….. yah, really!!) New Dash Cap New retractable antenna *(There is no stereo installed ) New Billet/Black aluminum CNC knobs t/o car with "Z" symbol *( ie hood handle, turn signal handle, lock knobs, shift knob..) I'm sure theres something I've forgotten, but I tried to touch on everything. The only thing you could do to the car, is get some new tires soon. They have a lot of tread left, but show some weather Checking in the tread area. They were on there when I bought the car several years ago. With the sale of the car, I will include a "DATSUN" incandecent Meatball Logo Sign. The car is ready to drive… I've had fun showing, but I want to move on to the next project. Title is in hand, and ready for transfer. Drive Video: You can see a drive video of this car on Facebook…. Search: Z Car Custom's - JDM I've listed initial photo's showing the beginning of the car, and the transition to Gnose. I will submit more final project photos as I get them loaded up… So Stay tuned!! |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
