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 |

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.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
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.
