1978 DATSUN 280Z PEARL BLACK SPECIAL EDITION This is a TRUE 1978 280Z Pearl Black Special Edition. [Paint Code 638]. One of the rarest of the early Z's. Only between 850 and 1200 of these cars were made. This is an Automatic making it even more rare. With the KY title reading 70,138 and The odometer reading a little over 71,000; it should be considered a collectors car. Not perfect and not a show car yet, but with a little more work she would be. WATCH THIS VIDEO OF MY CAR AND THERE ARE OVER 80 PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ADD VIA PHOTO BUCKET. Body: -No accident damage anywhere, . -Body seams are good. -Car has been painted three times. It was silver when I purchased it. Sanded and returned to original Pearl Black. The paint work is mediocre, 6.5 out of 10. No dirt or fisheyes in the paint. But the shop left scratch marks in the primer on the top. Left some small dings, and has some dry spray along bottom. There is one “heat blister” on the top about the size of a penny. Tried to photo these but they are very hard to capture. Even with these imperfections the car remains beautiful and receives compliments virtually every time I drive her. -All trim items are good. -All glass is nice, new rubber seals around doors and windshield and hatch . -Original bumpers replaced with MSA Type 2 air dam with bumper trim. Rear shaved. Looks very nice. Mechanical: -Car drives good. Holds the road good. No bad habits. Tires could be re-balanced. - The R/T racing Differential mount KYB Struts and polyurethane bushings take away the light toss-able feel in the rear. You can really drive this car fast and confidently with very little effort. -Power brakes work great. -Engine starts on the first crank. Idles quietly at 850rpm, and runs very strong, revs smoothly to redline. Has a small exhaust leak you can hear when cold, but diminishes when warmer. - Automatic shifts smoothly. - 15x8 XXR Black Chromium Racing Wheels, with New Kumho 225/50 Tires. -Dash gauges all work fine. -All lights exterior and interior work fine. -Came with Factory AC, but compressor failed and was removed by previous owner. All the other pieces appear to be there. -Horn does not work.
INTERIOR: -Interior is mostly original and in good condition. -New Seats and Carpet. Seats are from England with Embroided Z emblem and white stitch -Dash looks good. Has been resurfaced in the past, and has developed some small cracks. The car is currently Garage kept -Headliner is great. -Original retractable seat/shoulder belts in good shape. - Pyle Classic Radio, looks close to original. Has usb and sd card slot. The power antenna works fine. -Blower and heater work fine. - Comes with Warranty card and Owners manual. Clear Kentucky Title reading 70,000 miles -Original Z spare in trunk, has original tools and jack in bin behind seat. -Comes with KY Tags, and 2 keys.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE UPGRADES: Suspension is completely overhauled with New KYB struts and polyurethane bushings. Rear polyurethane differential bushings, and a R/T Racing differential mount. The Car has been lowered, and sits on 15x8 XXR racing wheels, and 225/50 Kuhmo tires. New Rack and Pinion, New tie rods, ball joints, torque bushings,...etc. Handles like it is on rails. Brakes have been upgraded to 4 piston calibers, 15/16 Master Cylinder, and larger brake booster. STOPS perfectly, braking is far better than factory. Engine has racing header, 2.5" performance exhaust and cold air intake. The starter, alternator, air regulator, oil pressure switch, and fuel pump have all recently been replaced. Fuel Injection wiring harness rebuilt with new ends, and the engine has just recently received a complete tune up. FLOOR BOARDS, FRAME RAILS LOOK GOOD. BATTERY AREA LOOKS GOOD. SOLID CAR. Don't bring a trailer! Drive her home and enjoy the trip! WARRANTY INFORMATION This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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.
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
