1978 Datsun 280ZX Coupe

Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX
The car shows 71k on it and has really 1 original owner
since 78-2012.
The original owner kept pretty good records too that
come with car. And its a nice original un restored Z.
Which with a little interior work, would be a great car.
Paint is original Az faded, but for a driver, its fine.

The cars been a 2nd car for most of its life which explains
the low miles which we think are original .
Being an AZ CAR, expect little to NO RUST on or near
the body etc.
The chrome on both bumpers is in amazing shape.
No pitting or rust - and they are straight on.
Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from
someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and
GREAT FEEDBACK.
Ive been driving the car around now for the last week
almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs
great every time and is a blast to drive.

Some things I know the car needs: Hi/low beam headlight
switch not working / small dent LF fender / boot around
the shifter torn or missing, you get alot of heat from the
motor up thru there when driving. / and once in a while I
hear a small rattle by the motor. Sounds like either maybe
an alternator bearing or water pump ? I hear it from time
to time, but havent pinned down whats making the noise.

DRIVETRAIN: Original S30 L4 runs great with plenty of
power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the
way Nissan built it.
Trans and clutch feel good too.

INTERIOR: Showing it age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span
but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough
in a weekend. Headliner gone, dash cracked (cheap cover
on it currently) seats and door panels showing wear.
But again, this is all cosmetic and you could drive the car like
this for more yrs if you wanted to.

Glass is good, but the inside glass needs a good cleaning.
Think it had window tint on it that was removed yrs ago.
AC all connected and worked last summer, but now
it is blowing cool, not cold. Unless Im not using the controls
correctly.

SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims

Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you
looked hard. But no weird noises , but I the shocks are

old and mushy. Tires decent, but nothing special.
(We also are a tire dealer, so if you want a new set of tires
installed on the car before taking delivery, let us know what
you want and we can price it out for you, installed.)

BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings
here and there, but some are so small they are hard to see
in the pics. Air damn is in good shape, where most are torn or
ripped off. Trunk struts work well.
overall, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy
car to restore back to original.

Nissan GT-R takes a bloody whack at supercar rivals in fake ads

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

A big part of what makes a supercar super is how it makes you feel, but the performance stats and bragging rights are undeniably a big part of the equation as well. Which means you can't ignore the fact that, even with its price ever escalating, the Nissan GT-R makes minced meat out of European exotics costing twice or three times as much.
That's the inspiration for this trio of fake ads from photographer Tim Kent. In this mock campaign, Kent has depicted the GT-R as a butcher's knife and the European exotics as pieces of slaughtered meat. Ferrari is symbolized by a package of horse meat, Porsche by a pack of sausages and Lamborghini as a pair of, um... "prairie oysters".
Of course the ads are never going to run anywhere, and if you're squeamish (or vegetarian) we wouldn't suggest looking at them in close proximity to your lunch. But we have to admit they're creative, and effective.

Nissan BladeGlider Concept shows its inner DeltaWing

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

Just like the DeltaWing and ZEOD RC racecars, it takes seeing the Nissan BladeGlider concept live to get a true appreciation for its design. But that doesn't mean it's any less weird. The wedge-shaped, three-seat concept car hit the stage today at the Tokyo Motor Show, and Nissan says the car is an "exploratory prototype" for a future production model.
The BladeGlider is defined by its design with front wheels that are just about three feet apart, while the rear has a more conventional track. Opening the scissor doors reveals a center driving position flanked by two passenger seats with a cockpit-inspired design. Although no power figures were revealed for the conceptual vehicle, Nissan does say that the BladeGlider is an all-electric vehicle with its battery pack mounted toward the rear of the car helping to provide a 30/70 weight distribution front to rear.
Check out our live images of the BladeGlider as well as the Nissan press release below.

Nissan reviving Pulsar name for Euro market

Mon, 19 May 2014

The Nissan Pulsar doesn't have what we'd consider a rich history in the US, other than on some models decades ago. However, the nameplate has been part of the Nissan lineup globally since 1978 and has proven popular in Asia and Australia. Now, the brand is teasing a five-door hatch to revive the name and hit European showrooms this fall.
The new Pulsar will be built at the company's recently renovated factory in Barcelona, Spain. It's not clear from the teaser whether this is the same model that is already sold in other parts of the world or a brand new vehicle. Although, Nissan says in the announcement that the car "has been designed to meet the specific demands of European car buyers."
With competitors like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, the European five-door hatch market is seriously competitive. It will be interesting to see if Nissan will have something special to bring to the table. Scroll down to read Nissan's full teaser about its latest hatchback in Europe.
