1982 Datsun 280zx Turbo on 2040-cars
Foresthill, California, United States
Last buyer was a flake, please don't make an offer unless you are serious about purchasing. If you're interested in my car please contact me! I'm also interested in trades for parts (S30) or possibly other cars. I am interested in 4x4 Toyota pickups or 4runners, OR Datsun/Nissan pickups (Must be 4x4). Make me an offer, and just talk with me. Worst I can say is no. It does drive almost flawlessly as is. But at idle there is a very slight roughness. My guess is the O2 sensor as I was getting no reading from it with my multimeter. Nearly everything mechanical and sensor wise has been replaced though, see the list below. I will give the most accurate description of the car I can. So here's a list of the work done on the car: All of these are within ~13,000 miles Complete Bottom/Top End of Engine Rebuilt Low Mileage T-5 Manual Transmission swapped in New Brute Power Clutch and Flywheel New Water Pump New Alternator New NGK BPR7ES-11 Spark Plugs New NGK Spark Plug Wires New Distributor Cap/Rotor New Valve Cover Gasket New Fuel Pressure Regulator New 3-Wire O2 Sensor New Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor Replaced Vacuum and Fuel Lines/filter New Fuel Pump New Thermostat Sensor Replaced all Fluids recently including Castrol High Performance Synthetic oil at change ~500 miles ago New Starter Motor New Fuel Injector Set Factory Rebuilt MAF All Exhaust Gaskets Replaced New Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket Here's a List of UPGRADES done to the car: R200 OBX Helical Type LSD New T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo New Larger 3 Core Aluminum Radiator Upgraded to 300zx Ignition Coil New Poly Suspension Bushings all around Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors w/ Semi-Metallic pads Stainless Steel Brake Lines New Tokico HP Struts all around New Magnaflow Muffler - Not overly loud and has a great tone 300ZXT ECU Swap Greddy Profec B Electronic Boost Controller Rare 120mph Speedo Swapped in The bad: Still on the factory paint job and has a few dents. Fuel pump is wired up to a switch at the moment, could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, I like it. The trunk interior isn't in the best condition, however the front is in very good condition. This car is ready for more boost! All you need is a front mount intercooler and some bigger injectors. Everything else is 100% ready to go. It's also the perfect candidate for a swap into your s30, a rebuilt engine w/ upgraded turbo, low mileage T-5, new helical LSD for a good price. The rest of the car could easily be parted/sold and make your swap cheap. I simply don't have the time. Aside from the idle, the car pulls fantastically through the rev range. The 300zx ECU swap was a great upgrade from the stock management system. The upgraded turbo spools way faster than stock, and these upgrades alone (Running 10-12lbs of boost) makes the car significantly faster and more fun to drive. Coupled with the HLSD, and all of the new suspension bits this thing can take a corner much better than stock as well. As you can see in the photos, I have the glove box removed currently. I have all of the parts for it bagged and I will gladly reinstall it if you wish. Also, underneath the radio you'll see a hole, that is where the Greddy Electronic Boost controller is located. I currently have that removed due to smog, but it WILL be included with the car. This car comes with a couple of extra parts as well if you want them, I will discuss this with the buyer based on the price. (2nd Refurbed MAF ~$250, High Flow Walbro Fuel Pump, a second set of Turbo wheels w/ nearly NEW Falken tires ~$400 etc etc). Please click this link to go to my photbucket album and take a look at my car, Ebay will only allow me to post 4 pictures free: If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to call or text me at (530) 919-9798 (Leave a voicemail if no answer, bad cell service at home) or contact me through ebay and I will be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. I can also take more pictures of specific areas if you wish! The car is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early if I reach an agreement outside of ebay. You CAN drive the car home if you wish, however it may be good to have a truck to bring that extra set of wheels with you. Also, if you are local, we can definitely arrange for you to come see the car. |

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
