I have too many projects, and with an upcoming deployment, this car needs to go. I bought it off my friend as a project, but I honestly want a 240 I don't have to smog.

This car does have issues, I don't want to misrepresent this at all. The guy my buddy bought it from did some questionable shortcuts on it, I have fixed most of those.

Electrical issues: Brake pedal resets radio when depressed. New Voltage Regulator, new Alternator. Voltmeter spikes in conjunction with relay under passenger seat clicking.

Plastic trim creaks when car goes up a driveway. Frame rails aren't pretty. Rust at bottom of fender, wheel arches are hacked up under fender flares.

Engine misfires when warm. It's either AFM or Coolant temp sensor. Haven't had time to check resistance at ECU.

Enkei 92 wheels. Dash has half cap on it, seats are in great shape, headliner is perfect. Rear cargo area missing spare tire, spare tire cover, and carpet has worn spot.

With that being said....

Holy cow, this car is AWESOME!!!!!!! This thing is my gateway drug to S30s!!! I want a 240 to do a V8 swap into. This car runs and drives, Just got smogged (don't ask how it passed..), tags good until next June. Every other car I have had is scared of corners, this thing just wants to go faster! I can take corners in this thing like I do on my sportbike.

I leave for deployment next month, and instead of letting it sit I want it to go to someone who can enjoy it. My plan was to buy a 240 tub, and transplant the mechanicals, but like I say, I have no time.

I put a waterpump, fan clutch, alternator and Voltage regulator in it. I am half tempted to pull the L-Jetronic off and throwing carbs on it, but again, no time. The misfire is fuel-related (the coil and ignition system are fine).

I don't want to screw anyone over here, clear title in my hand, car is for sale locally, I have the right to end this auction early. Thanks!

I will add pictures this week of the underside of the car if I can get it on the rack...

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The 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.
