I am selling this Z because I purchased it about 2 years ago with the intentions of freshening up the interior and repainting it and re-living the good old days (had one in high-school). It has turned into a bigger project than I have time for since I got married and my priorities have changed. I hate to let it go, and I hate to see it in its current state everyday also. The engine runs fine, but it needs a boost since the battery is dead. The transmission and rear end all worked fine last time I drove it (about a year ago). The paint is very rough but the body is in very good condition. Interior is rough, but is 90% there. The tires are old and will have to be replaced and the brake fluid has leaked down, not sure where. The car felt very road worthy before I parked it, I honestly dont think it will need much more than an interior and a paint job, go through the brakes and a new set of rubber. The previous owner replaced almost everything under the hood trying to get it to run right before i bought it and found the Cylinder Head Temp Switch connection was dirty. I replaced the instrument cluster with an analog model because it came with a digital one that didnt quite work right. I also replaced the harness. The a/c doesnt work/switch modes right, has the fancy automatic kind. I have a spare control unit for this I will include as well as several misc new tune up parts I never got around to installing. I will also include a brand new JVC CD player, still in the box, since I removed the old factory stereo and modified the lower dash for the new one. I will also include brand new Pyle 6x9 Speakers in carpeted enclosures and an 800w amp and 12" sub kit in a carpeted box, all brand new and purchased for this car. I will also include a set of 4 15inch "snowflake" wheels which I bought for the car and never got tires for. I have the title and paperwork transferring it to me and I will provide a bill of sale for you which should be all that is necessary. The car will have to be towed at buyers expense.

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The 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.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
