Although the belt to pull compressor was cut and delete from previous owner. May have to re-charge system. As an enthusiast, I have been driving without any A/C to improve HP and enjoyability. All controls and factory dash settings still there should buyer wish to restore it. The body: The overall condition of the exterior is quite nice, considering alot of these cars have mostly rusted or rotted away. This car is beautiful and shows well. The doors shut with a solid THUMP! The car is solid and does not show any signs of any accidents. Previous owners states no previous damage and it really shows. It did have a new fresh respray paint job and although it shows well and shines up nicely after detail, it is not concourse to my concerning eyes. Of course with all early Zs there are some under surface rust but on this vehicle it appears minimal. It has been garaged mainly and enjoyed and fair climate. This car gets alot of attention. It gets photographed alot at Vintage car events, such as Cars & Coffee and concourse d'elegance, etc.. It currently has some vintage late 60s early 70s race inspired removeable vinyl decals. I had it entered in some vintage classic car shows. It also wears some rare hard to find "432" emblems in honor of the successful early nissan factory team racers. This is a rare opportunity to own an appreciating entry level collector classic. Values keep climbing and projected to continue to climb. Please see what Hagerty has to say about early Datsun S30 Zs. History of the 1975-1978 Datsun 280ZDatsun’s brilliant 240Z was really the The real solution to emission laws came with the introduction of the fuel injected 280Z in 1975. The addition of a license-built Bosch L-Jetronic injection to the inline six-cylinder engine, plus a displacement increase of 200 cc, returned the Z car to roughly 1970 levels of performance. The 280Z would have performed even better had federal impact bumpers and additional equipment like All things considered, however, the 280Z is much closer to the original 240 than most people realize and it’s certainly a more sporting car than the 280ZX of 1979, with which it is often confused. Aside from the big bumpers, the coupe is a direct descendant of the 240Z, with little changed in the interior except for a fully integrated and effective air conditioner The earlier Any Z is a mechanically simple and robust car with good parts availability, and a lot of fun to drive. Bodies that are especially rust-prone are the Z cars Achilles heel, but high production numbers mean that there are still plenty of rust-free examples available. All of these factors help keep Datsun 280Z values in the affordable range, and make the car a great candidate for an entry-level collectible car. The car has a free and clear title. Buyer can inspect vehicle at anytime prior to purchase. Shipping is responsible by the buyer but I will help assist. Additional pics can be requested and provided. Also I may be able to make a video to serious inquirers. All offers will be considered. Car comes with hard to find factory set of early 240z wheel cap covers included in sale. The steel wheels were repainted in black and brand new set of chrome lug sets giving a refreshing new look. The factory bumpers were removed but can accompany the sell should buyer chose. please note: The windshield as well as all glass on vehicle are in excellent shape. All of the gauges including fuel, temperature, tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, voltage meter, as well as even the clock all work and function normally. |

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."
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
