On the block: 1980 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 with NH title. Back seats have enough room to fit or fold down for extra storage room. 2.8L Straight 6 accompanied with 5 speed manual transmission. Car runs and drives strong: nice enough to save for the weekends and durable and reliable enough for everyday driving. Car has extensive paper work including original sales sticker, original manual, and original warranty and service manual. Car had many repairs in 2004 as well as the paperwork to back it up. Car is in great shape and is easily one of the best 280's out there. 


The Good: Mechanically the car is very strong, all electronics work especially door light and bell when door is ajar as well as working engine bay light. A/C is cold, and the heat works great. Power windows and power mirrors all operate with out flaw. Dashboard is un-cracked, and interior is impeccable. Gear box and clutch are tight and deliver plenty of power to the rear wheels. Handling and braking are very sensitive and have all the power to take tight runs or bring the car to a fast halt. Extensive paperwork dating back to 1985. 

The Bad: With all 30+ year old cars it has some minor issues. Seeps oil and some leakage through moon roof. The moon roof is inoperable and chalked closed. The starter can sometimes be fiddly in the cold weather but a roll start is usually the answer. The car has some rust that was resulted in a poor paint prep. Some rust along roof line where windshield meets the roof as well as some rust on the cowl. 

I am the third owner of this vehicle and this car is nothing short of amazing. I always get looks and compliments and most of the time people think its a Porsche. I am listing this car with all aspects that have been presented to me and my knowledge; there may be unseen issues I am not aware of. Please use caution and do research before placing a bid on this car. Good luck and good bidding.

This car is being offered and posted to the best knowledge of the seller. Please ask questions before bidding if concerned. This car is being offered with no warranty guaranteed or implied. The buyer is responsible for all shipping related to the car.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
