Hello and thanks for taking a look at my car! What I have up for sale is a 1975 Datsun 280Z, that has had a L28ET engine swamped into it. Also as you can see, the front end of the car has undergone the ZG conversion, along with the addition of the fender flares and mirrors. In addition, the bumpers were replaced as well.


This car has a had a laundry list of work done to it, spanning over four years after its purchase locally. This car is running as of now and I am using it as a daily driver. If you are curious to why I am selling it, its because of that sole reason. Since my primary car recently broke down, I do not want to rely on my Z as my primary transportation. I always intended it as my weekend car, not a daily driver. This is a fantastic car, looks and engine wise, and I will attempt to list what is the most important things from the car, because a complete part list would be too much list. 

Exterior: 
Fairlady ZG Front End
ZG Fender Flares
Fender Mirrors
MSA Fiberglass Rear Bumper
HID Headlights
Konig Rewinds Rims (16X7 4X114.3)

Interior:
Pioneer CD Player(Includes AUX port)
Aftermarket Speakers( Located in Trunk area)
AEM Boost Controller

Engine/Mechanical:
Rebuilt L28ET engine, to include new parts such as distrubutor, battery, alternator, and coil.
Cylinder Head Machined 
Reconditioned Oil Pan
Turbonetics T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
Custom Intercooler/Piping
Custom 3" inch exhaust, with Magnaflow muffler'
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
Hayden 8" Electric Fans (X2)
Steel Flywheel
Toyota Four Piston Caliper breaks
Tokico HP (Blues) Struts Front and Rear
Tokiko Springs Front and Rear
Functioning Air Conditioning Unit
Thermostat 160 Degree
Clutch Kit

Cosmetic Damage: 
Driver side rear tailight housing has a crack, as shown in pictures. With this car I am also selling a pair of 240Z tailights to replace the 280Z lights.
The front bumper has a crack from a car dinging it, as shown in pictures as well.


This is just a portion of some of the work done to this vehicle. I have years of paperwork detailing continued maintence with this vehicle to include things such as all bushings being replaced, air conditioned install and repair, transmission mounts replaced, etc. This car has been meticulously taken care of these past years, and it shows. Also included with the car is two boxes of parts to include replacement gauges, extra break pads, 240Z tailights and more. 

Last reminders, as this engine was just rebuilt, it is still in the break-in phase. I have done the first two oil changes at the 1000mi mark so far. Also, the 8" inch fans are doing their job, but I have realized that 12" fans are necessary to keep up with the extra heat, and the lack of airflow from the ZG nose. If you do purchase this vehicle, that would be my suggestion to purchase larger fans or swap in the Ford Taurus OEM fan like many do. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask and good luck bidding!

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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 2013

A 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:
