I Highly suggest looking coming out and looking at the car before bidding. THE GOOD: The car is a good driver it was owned by a mechanic before me so most everything works, Lights, turn signals, tac, speedo, wipers, blue tooth radio, rebuilt round top su Carbs, newer brakes, New tires about 3-5000 miles. The car has had rust repair on the floor boards( patched welded) and covered with undercoating looks ok but solid. The rocker panels, one fender and the bumper delete were all welded in and bondoed. The paint is a newer duplicolor paint with 3-4 coats of clear . Looks good front 10' off . The BLack strips are decals. The front and rear window seals have been replaced . The AC actually does blow cold (surprise) . It runs and drives fine , The exhaust is newer but a bit loud is straight with a CHerry bomb Resonator and Chrome tip. The interior is in good shape there is a small tear in driver's seat . The door panels are nice but they are from a 280z and the door lock holes did not line up so there are 2 holes on each door panel . The interior was white and has been changed over to black . Many of the pieces were changed over... door panels, new headliner, visors, seats and some plastic were dyed black. It has been 2 years and still looks good. The car runs great I have driven it a good bit and the PO drove it on a couple long trips. Like all old z cars it has a bit of exhaust smell. the tail lights and every opening in the rear needs to be plugged, I haven't had time to do this. The car Starts right up and drives great. The rims are old Westerns ( much like the Panasports or Konig rewind but older) Tires are great. Has newer carpet kit installed but not the best of quality. The Bad One of the fenders did not get the best of Patches and bondo treatment and could be replaced. The bumper delete is kinda wavy. The Paint job is OK paint was decent and it was wet sanded between coats but it is definitely driver quality enough to impress from 10-15 feet off but there are imperfections. I bought the car for a friend overseas and then he saw a 240 I had that he wanted more . I have too many z cars so this one has to go . IF you have any questions or want to see it you can give me a call 828 242 6181 . I do have it for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. I will try to post more pictures

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If 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."
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

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.
