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 officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

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.
