Hello and thank you for looking at my 1978 Datsun 280z. This is a "hybridz" with low mileage, clean title, beautiful paint, and built for speed handling and durability. It was built to race, but ended up as more of a street hot rod with a "tame" tune. The Engine, from a 1982 Datsun 280z Turbo (L28DET), has about 4,000 miles on the rebuild and is fully built, as was the turbo. 79K on the chassis. No Rust!!
It has 40 over deep dish pistons all forged internals the turbo is a t3t4 hybrid ,2.1/2 in. Innercooler piping 3 in. Custom Exhaust, Euro Damper crank pulley, turbo running at a tame 10psi. Rear wheel HP at ~300. There is a lot more power that has not been tapped into.
5 speed turbo trans from the same 1982 280z, this is a must upgrade with this setup.
Suspension is Ground Control Coilovers all around with 250 lbs. springs. Handles like its on rails.
New Toyota 4 piston caliper upgrade in front 240 sx rear disc 1 inch bore new master cylinder, Slotted Rotors
In the rear end is a phantom grip, which is similar to a clutch style limited slip
Most of the exterior is shaved, 240z style front bumper, bullet side mirrors, awesome paint job
Interior is clean and I have the original seats that are in excellent condition, Momo steering wheel, Corbeau seats, the dash is cracked (a common problem), but I do have a full dash cover to fix this (this is a composite dash that fits over the original dash, it is NOT just a carpeted cover).
I also have most of the original parts (like the mirrors, emblems, side markers, etc)
One of a kind 17" Revolution wheels and have a set of 15" Diamond racing wheels.
Please contact me with any questions at 678 nine 1 0 eight 8 two zero. This car is only going to appreciate and it has recently become a focus in the Classic Car Arena. Buy with confidence, this Z is well built and fast.
This car is worth more than my reserve and over $35K was invested in this build. I am basically the 3rd owner, the previous owner owned the car for 17 years and purchased the car from the original family that owned the car, but multiple family members were owners.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
