I am selling this Z because I purchased it about 2 years ago with the intentions of freshening up the interior and repainting it and re-living the good old days (had one in high-school). It has turned into a bigger project than I have time for since I got married and my priorities have changed. I hate to let it go, and I hate to see it in its current state everyday also. The engine runs fine, but it needs a boost since the battery is dead. The transmission and rear end all worked fine last time I drove it (about a year ago). The paint is very rough but the body is in very good condition. Interior is rough, but is 90% there. The tires are old and will have to be replaced and the brake fluid has leaked down, not sure where. The car felt very road worthy before I parked it, I honestly dont think it will need much more than an interior and a paint job, go through the brakes and a new set of rubber. The previous owner replaced almost everything under the hood trying to get it to run right before i bought it and found the Cylinder Head Temp Switch connection was dirty. I replaced the instrument cluster with an analog model because it came with a digital one that didnt quite work right. I also replaced the harness. The a/c doesnt work/switch modes right, has the fancy automatic kind. I have a spare control unit for this I will include as well as several misc new tune up parts I never got around to installing. I will also include a brand new JVC CD player, still in the box, since I removed the old factory stereo and modified the lower dash for the new one. I will also include brand new Pyle 6x9 Speakers in carpeted enclosures and an 800w amp and 12" sub kit in a carpeted box, all brand new and purchased for this car. I will also include a set of 4 15inch "snowflake" wheels which I bought for the car and never got tires for. I have the title and paperwork transferring it to me and I will provide a bill of sale for you which should be all that is necessary. The car will have to be towed at buyers expense.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
