1977 DATSUN 280Z "GNOSE" CONVERSION

Just in time to catch the end of the summer…. This is one of my projects, and its time to let it go!
I've included photos to show the process as I completed her.

I started with a super clean 1977 Datsun 280Z, with the goal of taking it to as close to a JDM Gnose Z as I can.
The car has been gone through, and is in great running condition. Transmission shift is solid and clean.

Flaws: *( there isn't much )
The only minor negatives…. 
#1: a small dent in the passenger rear quarter, just above the marker light *( see photo ).. of course, like all car guy's, it was someone else who christened the car with a first dent for me. :-/
#2: Dash cap warped a bit from the sun… This is going to done before its sold, but figured I'd mention it from the photo's you can see it.
 I left it in the sun on a hot day, and came back to find it that way.  *****This will be replaced prior to sale!*****

The car is in great condition, and can be driven or showed the way it is.



Here is the list of what has been done in the last year:
New Yellow Paint ( Matching color OE…. body totally straight, NO RUST IN BODY FOUND )
New Blk Carpet interior
Full "Z Car Customs-JDM" Gnose Conversion w/ CF front Bumper (Custom)
Gnose Hinges
ZG Lens Convers "Z Car Customs-JDM"
ZG 14" Hubcaps ( Correct from Japan )
Chrome Fender Mirrors ( Correct from Japan )
JDM Rear Taillights (Correct from Japan)
Rear 240Z Bumper Conversion
Rear Tow Bracket 
New Door/Hatch seals.
New fan clutch
New Wires
New Plugs
New oil
Custom Alternator Bracket - "Z Car Customs-JDM"

New Dash Cap
New retractable antenna *(There is no stereo installed )
New Billet/Black aluminum CNC knobs t/o car with "Z" symbol *( ie hood handle, turn signal handle, lock knobs, shift knob..)

I'm sure theres something I've forgotten, but I tried to touch on everything. The only thing you could do to the car, is get some new tires soon. They have a lot of tread left, but show some weather Checking in the tread area. They were on there when I bought the car several years ago.
With the sale of the car, I will include a "DATSUN" incandecent Meatball Logo Sign.

The car is ready to drive… I've had fun showing, but I want to move on to the next project.
Title is in hand, and ready for transfer.

Drive Video:  You can see a drive video of this car on Facebook….  Search: Z Car Custom's - JDM

I've listed initial photo's showing the beginning of the car, and the transition to Gnose. I will submit more final project photos as I get them loaded up… So Stay tuned!!

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You 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."

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We'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.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.
