1977 DATSUN 280Z "GNOSE" CONVERSION
Just in time to catch the end of the summer…. This is one of my projects, and its time to let it go! I've included photos to show the process as I completed her. I started with a super clean 1977 Datsun 280Z, with the goal of taking it to as close to a JDM Gnose Z as I can. The car has been gone through, and is in great running condition. Transmission shift is solid and clean. Flaws: *( there isn't much ) The only minor negatives…. #1: a small dent in the passenger rear quarter, just above the marker light *( see photo ).. of course, like all car guy's, it was someone else who christened the car with a first dent for me. :-/ #2: Dash cap warped a bit from the sun… This is going to done before its sold, but figured I'd mention it from the photo's you can see it. I left it in the sun on a hot day, and came back to find it that way. *****This will be replaced prior to sale!***** The car is in great condition, and can be driven or showed the way it is. Here is the list of what has been done in the last year: New Yellow Paint ( Matching color OE…. body totally straight, NO RUST IN BODY FOUND ) New Blk Carpet interior Full "Z Car Customs-JDM" Gnose Conversion w/ CF front Bumper (Custom) Gnose Hinges ZG Lens Convers "Z Car Customs-JDM" ZG 14" Hubcaps ( Correct from Japan ) Chrome Fender Mirrors ( Correct from Japan ) JDM Rear Taillights (Correct from Japan) Rear 240Z Bumper Conversion Rear Tow Bracket New Door/Hatch seals. New fan clutch New Wires New Plugs New oil Custom Alternator Bracket - "Z Car Customs-JDM" Injector seals replaced Complete tune-up *( Just completed ) New Brakes all around New Fuel pump w/ relay wiring circuit New Clear Marker Lights New Turn Marker in Headlight buckets ( Custom ) Short Air intake ( Custom ) New EGR block off plate Vented hood New Locks in Doors New Shifter Bushing All gauges work (YES>>CLOCK WORKS!!!….. yah, really!!) New Dash Cap New retractable antenna *(There is no stereo installed ) New Billet/Black aluminum CNC knobs t/o car with "Z" symbol *( ie hood handle, turn signal handle, lock knobs, shift knob..) I'm sure theres something I've forgotten, but I tried to touch on everything. The only thing you could do to the car, is get some new tires soon. They have a lot of tread left, but show some weather Checking in the tread area. They were on there when I bought the car several years ago. With the sale of the car, I will include a "DATSUN" incandecent Meatball Logo Sign. The car is ready to drive… I've had fun showing, but I want to move on to the next project. Title is in hand, and ready for transfer. Drive Video: You can see a drive video of this car on Facebook…. Search: Z Car Custom's - JDM I've listed initial photo's showing the beginning of the car, and the transition to Gnose. I will submit more final project photos as I get them loaded up… So Stay tuned!! |

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.
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.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:
