What’s up for bid? A series one Dec 70 build date 1971 Datsun 240z. A sweet looking and driving Brock Racing Enterprizes (BRE) Tribute car licensed for the paint scheme from Peter Brock himself. He interviewed me to confirm I was on the right track, no pun intended. Check out Youtube title: VID00001 BRE TRIBUTE 1971 240Z dated Apr 2014 at Thunderhill Raceway Park, near Willows, CA. So, what’s this car got besides the classic paint scheme? It’s a full on race car and has been raced. Firstly, it has the original numbers matching engine. Yes, there are several places to find the numbers that confirm this is the same engine and body matching and they all confirm the fact; engine/Vin matching. What
else is in this car? A full on endurance
set up racecar. With fully adjustable
toe in and camber, front and rear plus castor up front. And,
fully adjustable ride height on all four corners with after market spring
perches and modified strut tubes for double adjustable yellow Koni’s. Hubs are all modified to 5 lug 4.5” spacing, fitting Ford plus others. Brakes are 4 piston Toyota
calipers up front with 300ZX vented rotors.
Rears are 240SX disc brakes and rotors; fronts are endurance racing and
rears are racing pads, all by Porterfield.
Installed late last spring to finish the 2013 TT season with NASA and
set up for NASA’s 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
We did not enter that race but the car was ready. I and my son raced it in Washington State July 2013 with SOVREN at the Historic races at Pacific Raceway. SOVREN logbook documents that tech “cleared to race”. Of course it comes with NASA and SOVREN logbooks, it has a full on cage meeting their stringent specs of tech. It has a side net for driver, window net and two race seats installed with appropriate belts for TT at NASA. Driver’s seat is out of race date. All other dated equipment, side net, window net and driver’s belts are 2013 dated. Fire extinguisher comes with the car but pax seat is mounted where the extinguisher goes. Remount if desired. The car has a removable MOMO steering wheel. After market tach on steering post with modified original gauges. Clock is tempermental but works with engine running. I think it likes good vibrations. Car does have an AFR gauge installed for Air Fuel Ratio measurements. Car was rewired with an EZ Wire kit/fuse block from dash forward. Has voltmeter vice ammeter gauge. Drive train: Engine dynos out at 170 HP (chassis dyno) the max horsepower /per minimum competition weight (with driver and gas) of 2425 at 14.25 lbs/ hp. authorized in NASA’s Time Trials D (delta) class this car runs in. It has triple Italian Webers. Transmission is the ’83 280ZX with 4 speeds forward. Drive shaft is shortened due to longer tail piece on tranny. Rear end is 300ZX Turbo, LSD. Engine, tranny and rear end all worked by pros; seals, bearings, etc. No leaks. Two sets of 15 inch wheels/racing tires; mounted come with the car. One set of 225/60 15 Hoosiers with one race weekend on them, one set of 225/50/15 Toyo RA1a with grooves showing. Good racing rubber on all 8 tires. Car is currently street registered with CA DMV. Nice to be able to test legally prior to trailering to the track. Prep for paint was total: no rust now; some was found but all treated, removed or simply cut out and new metal welded in. Paint is hardened single stage. Aerodynamics has been worked hard on this car. It appears simple but per the best wind tunnel testing I could locate (didn’t actually put this car in the tunnel) this car produces 1100lbs of downforce at 100 mph nullifying any lifting (and that's about 1100 lbs by the way) meaning; good aero kills all the lift and improves mileage 2 mpg at 70 mph, about the average speed at Thunderhill for a lap. Told you this was an endurance set up racecar. Email me your questions as I know I haven’t fully explained everything. All picts in this listing were taken either late last year or this year as paint went on this car May, 2013. It’s not a show car; it’s a race car, and it has the nicks and scratches and dings to prove it. Want to show it? Enter it in the raced car class. If they don’t have one, politely ask them for a no trailer queen class. |

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.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
