Watch the video of it, it is about 4 minutes long and takes you from a walk around to a road test!

                                        

It will be hard to tell you everything that has been done to this vehicle as there is a lot but let me try:

Body:

The body and frame were completely media blasted back to bare metal, all the work was done then the body was painted Popsicle Orange. The frame was coated with a rust sealing and resistant coating.

Any parts that needed attention or replacement were given their due attention.

Just about all the weather stripping and seals on the vehicle are new.

Look at the pictures / video of the vehicle from every angle, it looks great.


Suspension / Chassis

The complete system was gone though, all bushings were replaced with polyurethane bushings.

New struts all around which also lowered the vehicle 1" all around.

New brakes all around

New tie rod ends

New wheel bearings all round

Brand new (less than 20 miles as of today) 225/50 Falken tires on brand new 16x8 Rota Turbine wheels.

Drivetrain:

Dropped in SBC 400 with 44K miles in it, the motor was completely gone through and accessorized to work for this vehicle.

Things like new: mini starter, aluminum flywheel, 4 barrel intake and carb, special harmonic balancer, ceramic coated headers, alternator, and probably more were added to the motor before it was dropped in and matted with a T5 5-speed from a 90s Camaro with about 50k miles. 

The tranny was installed with a new clutch and new master and slave cylinders. A new custom short throw sport shifter was also installed to improve the feel of shifting and locate the shifter at the perfect location.

The power is then delivered to the rear tires through a new custom drive shaft with new u-joints.

The fuel system was also addressed, the tank was professionally cleaned and sealed, new high pressure fuel pump was installed with new fuel lines and a regulator up top.

Again, I am sure I am missing a lot of things. This was a complete restoration, no corners were cut, the car runs great and was put together as it should have been.

Look at the video watch it run!

Interior:

This will be another tough one as it will be really hard to name everything that was done.

Sound deadening matting was used throughout the floor.

New JVC digital media receiver

New Polk DB speakers installed in the doors

12" DVC sub and alpine amp in custom box with raised floor look using same new carpet used for cabin.

Tweeters were installed in the corners of the dash and 3" speakers were installed in open gauge locations in the center console.

Everything in the dash and interior has been gone through and everything that needed attention was either restored or replaced.

Complete set of after market gauges, new carpet, completely restored seats and the drivers seat was converted into a

heated drivers seat!

This button will be tactfully located in the center console before you receive the vehicle.

Again, I can go on and on but it will just take time that you could be using to enjoy the pictures and video so I will leave it at that, if you have questions feel free to ask them.

The vehicle comes with a clean and clear Iowa title

Basically, this 280z looks and runs great, a lot of attention has been given to it to make sure it would be a fantastic and fun vehicle for someone.

Only about 20 miles have been put on the vehicle since the build, more would be added to help fine tune everything and to be honest just for the hell of driving it a little before she goes to her new home.

I hope to put about 200 miles on the vehicle before it is delivered to have everything appropriately fitted and tuned.

This vehicle is being listed with NO RESERVE so the top bidder will win the vehicle

Take your time to go over the pictures and video they will be the best gauge of condition and attention to detail that was given to this build!

If you have 0% feedback rating please contact me before or at time of you bidding so I can make sure to keep the auction fair to everyone.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
