1978 Dastun 280Z

This car is incredible.
Stupid fast with approximately 450 brake horsepower and only 2720 pounds
VERY solid 280z, floors and rails are in great shape, except for a few jack dents.
All doors, locks, hatch and hood open and close nicely
A couple of small bubbles in the paint in front of the passenger rear wheel.
This is not a hack job conversion. Gets lots of compliments on how "clean" the swap is.

Engine is an 6.0 LY6 engine out of a 2008 Silverado 2500HD
Factory L92 heads
LS3 intake manifold from a 2010 camaro
Corvette throttle body
PSI wire harness, keeps it looking tidy under the hood
TSP 225/230 cam with hardened push rods and dual springs with titanium retainers
Tuned for the cam using HP tuners and wide band O2 sensor. Starts, idles and runs like it should.
T56 6 speed manual transmission
Z06 clutch
Taurus style fan, has not over heated on me
Full length 1-3/4" stainless steel headers
3" single exhaust with turbo style muffler
Sway bars
Eibach springs
Strut tower braces
Runs and drives great, did a ~350 mile round trip road trip a few weeks ago, no problems.
Got 25.4 mpg combined hwy/town mountain driving.
Car ran 12.5@116 mph on normal street tires at Bandimere which is 5800 above sea level
Easily a low 11 second 12X mph car at sea level with traction.

Bad:
Still has stock open diff r200 and axles, haven't given me any problems
Brakes are still stock, fine for street, not fine for going fast
Dash is cracked, aren't they all?
Paint is showing its age, it still gets compliments, but I'm picky
Heat and AC are not hooked up, will include 2500HD compressor if you can figure out how to mount it, will still need condenser, dryer and lines
There are some holes in the floorboard and wheel wells from a roll cage
No antenna for the stereo

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.

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.
