I started going through this to make it a show car, but still use as a daily driver. The 4 speed tranny was swapped for a 5 speed manual out of a 280ZX and the motor was torn down, inspected, and refreshed with new rings, and gasket set. The flat top carbs were replaced with round top SU carbs. New Tokico struts and springs, along with polyurethane bushings throughout the suspension, and the Z handles great. The Toyota four piston calipers with 300 ZX rotors up front, and 280ZX disc brakes in back, stop the car with no problems. The brake booster has started making a hissing noise, so it will need replaced. Also, the clutch has started slipping at high speed, as in passing or pulling a hill. the engine bay was painted while the engine was out, and it is red instead of the original Kelly green. The car needs paint, carpet, dash pad, to be complete. And i would change the gaskets out on all door, hatch, and glass. New wheels and tires would make this really sharp. The floors are solid. the rockers and wheel wells look great. There is some rust in the rear hatch. Pictures show the damage. I am the third owner of this Z. I found that the Datsun roadsters were much more suited for me, and lost interest in finishing this car. The motor starts right up, and runs smooth. A Magna Flo exhaust gives it a nice growl, but not too loud. There is also a headlight relay set up to run higher wattage headlights without harming the headlight switch or wiring. I can provide a video of the engine running if you would like to hear it. Please email me for that and I will be glad to send it. I have receipts for all parts and work and will furnish them to the buyer. The tach does not work, but engine temp, and oil pressure gauge does, and all is good with that. The seats will need to be recovered also.
With a 67 1600 Datsun convertible and a 1967 Nissan Patrol, the wife says something must go, and i have set the reserve for HALF of what i have invested in this car. Someone who can take this and finish it will have a really nice car and most of the mods are done, so you are way ahead and getting it priced right. good luck and please email me with any questions. A $500 pay pal deposit must be made within 24 hours of auction close. The balance must be paid within two weeks. If paying by check it must clear my bank before title and car can be picked up. I will be happy to work with the shipper, but buyer is responsible to arrange and pay all shipping fees. The car can be stored here for up to two months to give you time to arrange shipping. |

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
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.
