Amazingly, the wife has finally given me permission to offer our beautiful 280ZX for sale. The "Z-Car" is the best selling sports car of all time. Whenever I take the car out, I always receive many, many compliments. With the compliments of course comes the obligatory "Z Stories!" It seems like everyone I run into has either owned a Z car or has had a friend or family member who used to own a Z. And boy do they have stories! LOL!!!
I am only the second owner, purchasing it in 1995. Although we love "our baby," my wife and I simply don't drive it. It's lucky to be driven 150 miles/year. It just sits in the garage under the car cover way too much. It needs to go to a new owner who will drive it, enjoy it and create their own memories.
This is one of the nicest, cleanest Datsun 280ZX's you'll find anywhere. The car has never seen a winter. It has the preferred 5 speed manual transmission; Approx. 111k miles; and runs beautifully! The car has been adult owned its entire life and has never been beaten on. It has been truly babied.
The car is beautiful, but it's not quite perfect. I mean it is 33 years old. Just a few items to point out, specifically:
1. The speedometer cable just started making noise. It may need to be greased or replaced.
2. Some of the vinyl has started to pull away in the back, rear hatch area (not too noticeable, but it is pulling away).
3. The only blemish on the exterior of the car is a ding on the driver's door. Please refer to the picture of it.
Other than that, the car runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and everything works as it should. The AC still blows ice cold!!! If you're looking for a nice original Z Car that has been pampered its entire life, this is your car. The car has never, ever seen a winter. During the 18 years that I've owned the car, I can only recall one time the car ever saw rain. And for that I blame the weatherman on a bad forecast!
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call my cell at 585-314-2760. Thanks, Steve
Unfortunately, there are not too many of these cars left that are in this pristine condition. Hurry as the wife may change her mind!

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
