Up for sale is a 1978 Datsun 280z. Interior is in good shape, has a few cracks in the dash like most Z's. Factory A/C is functional. Custom Momo Shift knob, GT style steering wheel. Everything else is stock original on the inside. No cracks in any windows, carpet is in decent shape. Center console is in good shape. Interior is 8 / 10 overall. Exterior has some rust spots throughout. There is one hole behind passenger seat in floorboard. There are a few holes under the rocker panels (typical on most Z's) that can be patched. Car shows signs of having been undercoated in the past. Car has old-school Enkei style wheels. Tires are in decent shape, all hold air. Rear bumper has been replaced with 260z style one. Front bumper: delete. Has aftermarket front air-dam. Hood has been primed flat black and is ready for paint. The engine is a stock L28E. 5 spd manual trans. I have swapped the fuel injection system over to dual weber carburetors. Car will crank but is not quite drive-able. Carburetors will need to be cleaned and a new fuel pump relay switch is needed along with a few other odds and ends. I was able to take the car down the road a few weeks ago but it ran rough and showed signs of the fuel injection system being faulty so I purchased a used set of weber carbs for it online and have them installed currently. I still have the original fuel injection system if you would like to convert it back over. (The AFM was bad on the system and I was not interested in messing with it. ) Overall, I think that the car is a great candidate for a restore project. With a little more work it will be fully drive-able. I do NOT have a title for the car. I will write out a bill of sale for it upon pickup. I Would love to finish the car myself but with my current schedule I am unable to do so. Please note that the car WILL need to be hauled home by trailer. A 500$ immediate deposit is required upon auction end. I would like to disclose that I am very familiar with eBay and have been using it for over 10 years now. I just recently made a new account here and would like to reassure any potential buyers that I am aware of all dynamics of the site. If you have any questions about the car, please do not hesitate to ask. I would prefer all questions to be made prior to bidding on the car in order to reduce any possible confusion. Thanks for looking and good luck. |

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If 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."
