1973 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Rock Hill, South Carolina, United States
|
For sale is a California 73 240Z. This is not a show car but its a solid 20 footer driver car. The only rust I know of on the car is a small bubble under the paint against the hatch glass otherwise this is rust free. The battery box is even totally solid with no rust problems. There is a 77-78 louvered 280z hood on the car now but if you want a stock hood I've got one on a parts car, I'd be happy to swap them out for you. Unfortunately someone has put a sunroof in the car sometime before I got it but that can be easily fixed if you're not a fan of aftermarket sunroofs. The interior is rough but its all there just missing the carpet and of course the radio, of all the early z cars I've owned the radio has always been missing. The dash has 2 or 3 cracks in it of course but I have a cap I will send with the car to cover that up. All of the gauges work with the exception of the tach. Someone has installed a Crane xr700 electronic ignition module and I don't have any instructions for it and don't know how to make the tach work with it. The clock on the other hand does work, just runs a little slow. All lights and turn signals work as do the wipers so you can drive rain or shine, day or night with confidence. The engine is a F54 flat top shortblock from a 280zx with an E31 head which appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Fresh looking paint on the block with no rust anywhere and it doesn't smoke at all. It has early 3 screw roundtop SU's on it which also appear to have been rebuilt. The car starts up easy at any temperature and has never given me a single problem. This engine is backed up by the zx close ratio 5 speed which shifts very nice and smooth, it will however jump out of 5th gear sometimes when you're coasting down a hill off the gas. I daily drive the car and it gets good gas mileage and drives great. Steering is tight and tracks straight down the road. The Brakes are original but have braided stainless flexible hoses front and back and will tear your face off they stop so fast. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this z anywhere, you could fly in and drive it home if you want. Feel free to ask any questions and if you're local I'd be happy to show you the car in person before you buy just message me to set something up. |

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You 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."
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The 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.
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
