This recently restored 1971 Datsun 240Z is one of the nicest Zs you will find. No expense was spared in its restoration.

Completely media-blasted, every nut and bolt was removed and restored or replaced with new. No rust. Has not seen a wet road in the past two years.

All new urethane bushings everywhere.

Front airdam.

Dynamat was installed inside and the “dirty” side was undercoated.

New NOS dash and taillights, Z Therapy carbs on the rebuilt and stock 2.4L engine. (Not a matching number car, as the original engine was destroyed due to a tuning mishap.)

An ’82-’83 5-speed and R200 3.90 differential is installed. Runs like a new car. No surprises.

Car equipped with power windows, power locks, air conditioning, new retractable seat belts, tinted windows, outside mirror upgrade. New interior.

Headlight relay harness installed.

Rare manual throttle on console.

Toyota truck brake (front) upgrade.

Stock suspension and period correct wheels, not lowered or modified.

Original radio in place. Modern radio in glove box, but not connected to speakers; speaker wires under the carpet but not connected to speakers. Speakers come with car.

Approximately 118,000 miles on chassis and 1,000 miles on engine.

VIN: HLS30 15653
Build Date: 12/1970

I have owned this car for a bit over two years, but it’s time to move on. The winning bidder will not be disappointed with his “new” Z.

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.
