Up for bid is a 1977 Datsun 280z with 94,376 original miles on it. I bought this car about a year ago with the intentions of restoring it but i just have to many other projects so its time to let it go. First of all this car has zero rust underneath. No rust on the floorpans, frame rails etc. I am not sure if its original or not but it still has undercoating from front to rear. There are a few places where it is pealing off and you can see the shiny silver paint underneath. By the way silver was the original color. If you know anything about these cars you will know that it is a rare thing to find one without some sort of rot underneath. As for the body there were a few rusty spots but that has been cut out and replaced with the exception of the rear hatch lip. It has been cut out but still needs a patch welded in. The interior is in decent shape. It could use carpet as it is faded in spots but is still very usable. The drivers seat has a few small tears in the corner but not bad at all and the passenger seat is fine. The door panels and headliner look brand new with no issues at all. The center console is broke by the radio but all the pieces are there so it could be fixed. The dash does have a few small cracks. As for the engine it runs but needs a timing chain. When i first got the car I pulled the gas tank and cleaned it before trying to start it. Once re-installed the car would crank over but was dragging. I bought and installed a new starter and it helped but was still dragging a little. I was able to play with the timing and get it started but was running rough. I pulled the valve cover and was able to see there was a lot of slop in the timing chain. I guess it could just be a guide or tensioner but i would go ahead and replace the timing chain as well. I was able to drive it around the yard and the transmission went right into gear and the rearend felt good and tight. 1 wheel cylinder has been removed and rebuilt as it was leaking but still needs to be re-installed. The car has the factory mag wheels on it that are in good shape just need a good cleaning. The tires have good tread but have dry rot from sitting. The front and rear bumpers have been removed but i still have them if interested. It wouldnt take much to get this car on the road and you would have a very sharp cruiser. I have tried to give as much info as possible about this car but if you have any questions I havent answered feel free to ask. The buyer assumes all responsability for pick up and/or shipping.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If 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 2013

A 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:
