My mechanic just described this car as the cleanest 280Z in the country. I am the second owner and purchased it in 2008 thru Ebay motors. I am selling it as I am 74 years old and will not drive it as much as I should in the future.

This Z has it all. The 5-speed transmission functions flawlessly as does the factory air-conditioning. The AM-FM radio works perfectly. The original interior's seats, door panels, dash( no cracks or splits), shift boot are in beautiful condition. The black carpet has some minor sun fading. It is a non-catalytic converter model. The Michelin tires have approximately 4,000 miles on them. The car includes the rear window louvers. The engine is in perfect condition. The engine compartment has the original cosmoline and undercoating and has not been steam cleaned. The car has no rust and has been garaged when not driven. This car has not been wrecked or had any body work done on it. The original paint is in beautiful condition and you will work hard to find a scratch on it. This is a smoke-free car.

I have copies of all service work performed since it's original purchase. Since my purchase I have repaired the air-conditioning which now works perfectly. I had a small oil-leak on my garage floor from the engine and replaced the clutch slave cylinder, oil pan gasket, transmission output seal and rear main seal. The car has no oil leaks now and my garage floor is again spot free. I have also replaced the battery, fuel pump, and miscellaneous hoses. I will be glad to put an interested buyer in touch with my mechanic who was initially trained as a Datsun mechanic and has extensive Z knowledge.

The car includes: original owners manual, service booklet, Datsun 280Z service manual 1978, Haynes and Clymer Shop Manuals, and original window sticker and some misc Z items.

This has all the features you could want in a 280Z. No work or restoration is required, just get in it and drive. I would pick up the buyer at the airport. Check my seller ratings and you will see I have 100% feedback. I have built my reputation on a 100% honest description and work with any customer issues. I would co-operate with an out of state buyer with an independent inspection company of your choosing and expense. Purchase is in U.S. dollars cash in person or Paypal. The final cost does not include shipping or shipping preparation, taxes, title or registration as these costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will provide a bill of sale and clear Nevada title.

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."

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A 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.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
