Hello and thank you for looking at my 1978 Datsun 280z. This is a "hybridz" with low mileage, clean title, beautiful paint, and built for speed handling and durability. It was built to race, but ended up as more of a street hot rod with a "tame" tune. The Engine, from a 1982 Datsun 280z Turbo (L28DET), has about 4,000 miles on the rebuild and is fully built, as was the turbo. 79K on the chassis. No Rust!!
It has 40 over deep dish pistons all forged internals the turbo is a t3t4 hybrid ,2.1/2 in. Innercooler piping 3 in. Custom Exhaust, Euro Damper crank pulley, turbo running at a tame 10psi. Rear wheel HP at ~300. There is a lot more power that has not been tapped into.
5 speed turbo trans from the same 1982 280z, this is a must upgrade with this setup.
Suspension is Ground Control Coilovers all around with 250 lbs. springs. Handles like its on rails.
New Toyota 4 piston caliper upgrade in front 240 sx rear disc 1 inch bore new master cylinder, Slotted Rotors
In the rear end is a phantom grip, which is similar to a clutch style limited slip
Most of the exterior is shaved, 240z style front bumper, bullet side mirrors, awesome paint job
Interior is clean and I have the original seats that are in excellent condition, Momo steering wheel, Corbeau seats, the dash is cracked (a common problem), but I do have a full dash cover to fix this (this is a composite dash that fits over the original dash, it is NOT just a carpeted cover).
I also have most of the original parts (like the mirrors, emblems, side markers, etc)
One of a kind 17" Revolution wheels and have a set of 15" Diamond racing wheels.
Please contact me with any questions at 678 nine 1 0 eight 8 two zero. This car is only going to appreciate and it has recently become a focus in the Classic Car Arena. Buy with confidence, this Z is well built and fast.
This car is worth more than my reserve and over $35K was invested in this build. I am basically the 3rd owner, the previous owner owned the car for 17 years and purchased the car from the original family that owned the car, but multiple family members were owners.

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
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.
