1977 280z Coupe
Has swapped engine (83' L28ET 2.8l) was rebuild and head resurfaced by previous owner a little over a year ago. has F1 Stage 2 Clutch and pressure plate, Blitz DD blow off valve, with custom inter-cooler piping. B&M oil cooler. Jegs fuel pressure gauge. Walbro 255lph inline fuel pump with filter. T3 turbo with brand new core replaced this past August. 2.5' Downpipe to 3" magnaflow performance muffler w 4" tip. NXS manual boost controller set to 9psi. Engine runs pretty awesome, it may be time to check the timing chain but that's about it. Around 200000 miles on chassis, 50k miles on Engine since swap & rebuild.

Full Energy Suspension bushing kit. Tokico blue HP shocks with drop springs. 86' Toyota 4x4 4 Piston Front calpiers for solid rotors. Front and rear Strut bars.

16x10 Diamond racing wheels, White with 4.5' Backspace. Kuhmo ASX 225/50/16 tires with plenty of life left on them.

Custom TCP global "Inferno Orange" paint, matte black hood and fender flares. JDM fender mirrors (one is a little loose) New weather stripping.

Mazda MX-5 Miata seats, Gt Grant steering wheel with quick release security kit. Autometer boost gauge, AEM Wideband O2 sensor with gauge (not mounted though) I also have a Megasquirt 2 EFI that is not yet installed and willing to let go with the vehicle.

Kenwood Radio with Hifonics Brutus amp and Boston acoustics G310 Sub. and Pioneer 4" speakers. system sounds pretty good but willing to lower the price if you don't want the Amp and Sub.

4 speed manual transmission

Time for the bad stuff:
Front right strut is completely gone. Needs replacement ASAP! ( would recommend at least replacing the front two at the same time as it's not really good to just replace one)
Speedometer doesn't work nor does the Fuel gauge
No Headliner and missing some interior trim pieces
No A/C or Horn
There is a rattle which appears to be coming from the Clutch disk (most likely a loose spring on the disk which absorbs some of the vibrations). The clutch works fine just a slight rattle which could get annoying.

I have an extra motor (L28) that also comes with the car. Good condition and rebuilt. N42 Block, N42 Head with non EGR N42 Intake manifold, aluminium fuel rail with injectors, 6/3/2 headers.
Also have a 5 speed transmission which needs a rebuild.

Selling the car because I don't have the time to fix it like I should and want something different. Very solid car! but definitely needs attention as it's a classic now.

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.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
