1983 810 Maxima Wagon Z-therapy Upgraded 280z Turbo L28et Ac Blows Cold Nissan on 2040-cars
Salem, Oregon, United States
1983 Datsun Maxima 810- Turbo Wagon Thanks for checking out this modified 1983 Datsun Maxima 810 Turbo Wagon. A lot of thought was put into this car when building it. My friend Bill who works at Z - Therapy, here in Salem, Oregon spent many hours building this car into what you see here. A lot of thought went into how to put this 280Z Turbo in it, to keep it looking like a car that Datsun would have liked to build. With Guidance from Steve, who is well known when it comes to vintage racing here in the Northwest, building Induction Systems and rebuilding and tweaking SU Carburetors. If you don't already know who they are, do a little research on them and you will be impressed. When I was younger, I worked at Ford and Nissan dealership, didn't know much about Nissan at the time, but quickly fell in love with them, when I was in high school, one of my favorite cars in the Nissan line was the Maxima, I remember driving them as a lot boy at the dealership. Today I love wagons in general, no matter what make and model, well maybe not the AMC Eagle, but in general I owe it the the Nissan Maxima Wagon, just love them. What sets this wagon out above the rest, is that it has been upgraded with a 1983 280Z Turbo - L28ET. This car went through a lot of modifications to put this Turbo Engine in it. Lots of thought and mods went into the Stock Maxima intake manifold, and using the Analog Injection from the Maxima, to fitted to 280Z Turbo engine. If Datsun would have built a Turbo Maxima in the USA this is what they would have came up with. This car was built by a gentleman that works at a well known Datsun shop here in the area, and it took a lot of thought to make this look like a factory built car. The engine was professional rebuilt, and now had has about 6,000 miles on it. If you want something a little different, and want something that is fast, then this is your car, love the whinning of the Turbo when you step on the throttle, surprises everone when I take it out for a little stroll around the block, or down the highway especially. This car you can drive anywhere, everything is dialed in and on top of that, the AC BLOWS COLD. The car itself has 251K on it, but like I said the Turbo L28ET engine has only 6K on it, front end was rebuilt, new brakes, struts, etc. Very dependable. If you have any other questions please give me a call, would be glad to talk to you about this 810. Thanks, Jason 503-910-2085 DRIVETRAIN: This car runs very good, it has been upgraded with a 1983 Datsun 280Z L28EU Turbo, wanted to keep the same year engine, with the same year car so it looked factory and period correct. A good friend of mine built this car, since Datsun never built a Turbo Wagon his thoughts were to build one of his own. The engine has been completely rebuilt, and lots of small modifications to make everything look and work correctly. Lots of thought went into this car to make it what it is today, helps that he works areound cars like this everyday. The engine starts right up, and just purrs like a kitten. It only has about 6,000 miles on the rebuild currently, so just barely broken in. The engine is painted Datsun Blue, and the Turbo Valve cover being red, is very fitting. I love to listen to the Turbo kick in, the little whinning sound great, and makes everyone take a second look, it is subtle, but sound cool. The transmission is stock, shifts very nice, no issues. The front end has been rebuilt, new bearings, bushings, ball joints. The brakes are disc upfront, and drum in the rear. The rearend is stock in the car as well, everything is very tight and feels good. The car has been lowered a little with new springs, has a very nice stance, and very good ride. This car isn't real fast off the line, when the turbo kicks in is where it really comes alive, it would make a really fun car to take out on a track day, it corners very good, and just drives awesome, all this at the same time, with the AC blowing cold to boot. Tires are in very nice shape, 205/50/16, with 16x7 Prime wheels. The exhaust if custom 2 1/2, with Magnaflow muffler as well. BODY/UNDERCARRIAGE: The body is in very nice shape, mostly original paint. The drivers fender and door have been repainted, the color is off a little bit. The car has lots of small scratches, and small dings, as few larger ones on the car. If someone wanted to take it to the next level and have it painted, that would be great. The best thing about the body, that it is very solid, and rust free, no bubbles in the doors, the rockers are very solid. I put the car up on the lift in my shop, to show how nice the floors are, and structure of the car. Very clean no rust. All the glass is in nice shape, no chips or scratches. The front windshield is nice, but has a little bit of wear on the passenger side were the wiper has rubbed a little etched swoop in glass. Overall the body is very clean for its age, but does show the flaws in the paint, you get a pretty good idea from the pictures. Some of the larger dings, might be able to be taken out a paint and dent guy, but never looked into seeing. INTERIOR: The interior is original, as you can see. Very plush interior, for a 1983 Japanese car. It feels very comfortable to drive in. It needs a lot of cleaning, the seats have marks in them, small stains, carpet has lots of stains, see pictures. the dash pad is good, but has a small crack staring above the cluster close to windshield. Everything works inside, even the activated ladies voice that reminds you. "You Left the Keys in the Ignition", or "You left your lights one", pretty cool for 1983. The radio is aftermarket, the antenna is not working, it is stuck up. The sunroof is in good working order, and does not leak. The power windows are all working in good as well, a few are a little slower going up, and but they do work. Interior is very useable, new carpet would do it wonders, and some cleaning, but over all for its age it is decent for a nice little driver. Its not about the interior in this car anyways, it is about how fun it is to drive. ***View the pictures read the auction, if you have more questions let me know, would be glad to help you out.

Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber
Sat, Dec 27 2014There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.
