I'm putting my z for sale; it's a 1975 Datsun 280z S30 coupe 5 speed. She's a great car and she’s got lots of new parts. She’s a great daily driver. I'm selling my Z because I need cash to start up my business. That's the only reason I'm selling her. I bought this car with the intention to never sell her. But life has her way of letting you know who is boss. I upgraded the suspension and all the brake parts because I wanted to make sure she would be a reliable daily driver. Fully tuned up and ready for her new home. She's not perfect but turns heads where ever she goes. The interior is all there and original besides one missing panel. The only interior defects are the holes where the PO cut out for speakers, and the driver rear quarter panel cover is missing. On the driver seat there is a small whole by the left bolster and a small slit by the bottom left bolster. The passenger seat is mint. All the gauges work except the clock. New Falken 205/50/15 tires on Enkei 92s 15x8, new left and right tie rod ends, new sway bar end links, 4 new shocks, new brakes, new SS brake lines, new rear brake cylinders. New Flow master 40 series muffler. New 280zx master cylinder, new clutch master cylinder. New plugs and wires. New carpet. Used 330MM Naradi steering wheel. New shift booth and e-brake boot. Car comes with factory 4 speed. Installed is a 1982 280zx close ratio 5 speed. New speakers all the way around, 6" in the front under the dash and 5.5" in the rear. Nice Pioneer CD player with Aux input and remote. A/C blows cold and has been retrofitted to use R134 gas. Heater works great too. Dash has a cover over it, has a few cracks. The car has some old tint on it that will be removed. The body is on good shape with only a few spots that have bobbles here and there. The PO repainted the car and didn't do a good job with the prep work. The rust is minimal with a car this age and will be a quick fix with a repaint if you feel it’s necessary. Frame rails are solid. The floor boards have a few small holes, but nothing that a few patches can't fix. Overall the floors are structurally sound. The original 280z bumpers were swapped in favor of the 240z front bumper with custom mounting brackets. The rear I left without a bumper because that was the look I was going for. Air dam is for a 240z as you can see there is cut outs for 240z turn signals. Over all the Z is a great car for a daily driver and she turns heads. She needs a few cosmetic fixes but other than that she’s great! Hope the new owner will enjoy her as much as I did. Happy bidding. Low Reserve.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
