1982 DATSUN 280 ZX TURBO PROJECT CAR. Vehicle body is in really nice, solid shape. Interior is fair to good. Vehicle currently does NOT run. It was running, but poorly, with a lack of power. We had vehicle in our shop and determined it has an engine timing issue. The timing chain is not properly installed (off a couple teeth on the gears) We were able to make vehicle run for a few minutes by turning distributor, but it is too far out to correct by moving the distributor alone. Transmission and brakes on car are good. When vehicle was running, it was apparent the turbo was spooling up and working. Engine wiring harness was replaced with one from a donor car, along with the computer, and airflow meter. Would make a nice project for someone with mechanical ability and knowledge. Also might be good for an engine swap, v-8 project. Tires are Kumho with better than half tread. Wheels are Koenig aluminum and in good shape. Many extra parts are included with this car such as: steering wheel, turn signal switch, hood insert, other trim, etc. Car must be trailered. Have clean title in hand. No international bidders please. Deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Please do not bid if you have negative or zero feedback. Terms of sale are cashiers check, or cash in person. Vehicle will not be released nor title transferred until check clears. Thanks and good luck bidding!!.

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.
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.
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.
