1978 Datsun 280z on 2040-cars
Bakersfield, California, United States
|
Up for auction is a real nice Datsun 280Z survivor. It has some surface rust in the under carrige This car has been in the family since the late 80's. It was started often. Install a rebuild engine in 1991 and also changed the clutch then and removed the four speed tranny that dragged on the freeway and replaced it with a five speed newer Datsun Z. Then it just sat there and my brother in-law lost interest. Since I always helped him fix it he offer it to my son and we purchased it with plans of restoring it but my son lost interest when he purchased a newer car now he wants to sell it. I don't want to but don't have the time and money to continue restoring it... Since we got it, we install new battery. had both seats professionally recover. It did not start, so we flushed the tank and installed fresh fuel and filter. Replaced two injectors and reseal and clean the rest. replace spark plugs. Got it running very decent. On clutch we replaced slave cylinder and master cylinder. on Brakes we replaced rear wheel cylinders, shoes and brand new drums, now it goes into gears great and stops good. Car has no power steering from factory. Speedo and RPM gauge work, all lights work, but parking brake light stays on. Have extra misc parts. Here what it needs: Smog check, rear suspension bushing and struts. (have new struts) AC needs to be checked and recharge but its all there, front bushings and struts worn. Tires hold air and have decent tread but they are weather cracked. Dash is very weather cracked. Pretty much this car will require lots of labor of love but it has a great foundation is a running project. Sold as is. We paid the back do fees but car is currently not op, and buyer will have to tranfer owner ship, but do have original pink slip in hand... here is a video on youtube, idles a little high when cold... http://youtu.be/JlKm8whLNxc |

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
