1983 Datsun 280ZX T Tops



Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX and if you are
looking for a RUST FREE T TOP Z car, look no futher !!
This is a 1 owner car, bought new here in Tucson Az
back in 83 and has only had 1 owner its whole life. Its been
well kept up by the original owner and in the last 10 yrs
its been more of a 2nd car and mostly only used when they
where in town which was only part of the yr.
A binder full of invoices and receipts will come with the
Z too showing almost all the work etc done over the yrs. 
Receipts from std oil changes to recent brake work and new
injectors, back stuff done 10 yrs ago.
The car shows aprox 116k which could be original
The original owner kept pretty good records too that 
come with car. And its a nice original un restored Z.
Which with a little interior work, would be a great car.
Paint is original Az faded, but for a driver, its fine.
The cars been a 2nd car for most of its life which explains
the low miles which we think are original .
Being an AZ CAR,  this is a and always has been a rust free
example what most people only wish they had for a 30 yr old Z.
The chrome on both bumpers is in amazing shape.
No pitting or rust - and they are straight on.
Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from
someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and
GREAT FEEDBACK helping You be more comfortable to decide
to bid on our cars.
Ive been driving the car around now for the last week
almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs
great every time and is a fun to drive esp with the T TOPS off.

Its still a 30 yr old NON RESTORED original Z and that being said
its a great weekend car or daily driver as is, and wouldnt take
much to finish the restoration if you wanted.

DRIVETRAIN: Original EFI L6  runs great with plenty of 
power in every gear.  Non turbo model in my opinion like
this car have less problems and plenty of power on hand.
ALL stock - un molested just the way Nissan built it.
This has been adult owned and driven its whole life.
Some minor oil leaks you may expect for an older car but
nothing leaving puddles or anything.
Trans feels good and some recent work in the last few yrs
has been: NEW CLUTCH KIT w/ machined flywheel / 
All 6 Injectors / and Front brakes too.
I believe it to be the original, matching #s even motor.

INTERIOR: Front seats AND Carpet where redone in the last
few yrs and are NEW ! Some other areas are 
Showing their age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span
but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough
in a weekend. Interior shows nice as is, and wouldnt need alot
to finish the restoration.
But again, this is all cosmetic and you could drive the car like
this for more yrs if you wanted to.
Glass is good, but the inside glass needs a good cleaning.
Window tint is old could use replacing soon.
AC all connected and worked last summer, but quit blowing
cold this yr. Heater core started to leak a few yrs ago and
is bypassed for now. Most people in Az rarely use the heat
anyway in our cars. Car may not come with the radio shown
in pics. It will come with original radio shown in the pics
but it wont be installed, seeing as most people want to put
in their own radio / stereo preference.  So there will be a
hole where the stock radio goes when the car shows up.
I just havent had time to take the aftermarket CD player
yet. IF you want me to leave it in, email me if you win the 
car and we can work out something.

SUSPENSION: Mostly all stock original down to the OE alloy rims
Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you
looked hard. But no weird noises, rear struts are NEW KYB.
 Tires decent, but nothing special. Some brake work recent.
(We also are a tire dealer, so if you want a new set of tires
installed on the car before taking delivery, let us know what
you want and we can price it out for you, installed.)

BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings
here and there, but some are so small they are hard to see
in the pics. If you look close you can see a few dents on the pass
side. 1 on the door and a crease on the RF fender.
Hard to see in the pics. Ft valance is in decent shape.
I do know the front clip was repainted in the last few yrs prob
just from sun damage and age, but not sure exactly why.
All the areas where the fenders meet the aprons look good
and dont see any signs of previous damage or accidents.
The rear license plate light is missing in the pics, but thats
how we got it. I did buy a good used one for the car, just havent
installed it yet. Ill do it this week and add a pic of it .
As is you could drive it to local car events and the car would
still draw a crowd.

Nissan ZEOD RC finds nothing but trouble at 2014 Le Mans

Mon, Jun 16 2014

Audi came away a big winner at this year's Le Mans competition, but Nissan has at least one thing to celebrate. The Pyrrhic victory apparently presages Nissan giving up on the gas-electric race car for Le Mans 2015. Before the race this weekend, the prototype ZEOD RC hybrid race car was doing quite well. In fact, given the way things turned out, Nissan's keen to mention that team engineers managed to get the car to complete a lap on electric power and hit a target speed of 300 kilometers per hour (186 miles per hour) on the Mulsanne Straight during testing. ZEOD RC stands for Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car. "The race was obviously very disappointing" – Wolfgang Reip Things didn't go so well once the real race started. The problem for the Deltawing-esque prototype – which is powered by a 1.5-liter gas ending putting out 400 horsepower and a pair of 110-kW electric motors – was that something broke in the transmission after just 23 minutes and five laps. Driver Wolfgang Reip put his best spin on the hybrid's collapse: "The race was obviously very disappointing but having got a taste of Le Mans now, I can't wait to get back." If Reip does return with Nissan, it will likely be in a more traditional Le Mons racer. The ZEOD RC was part of the LM P2 class, but Nissan says that, "For Le Mans 2015, Nissan will return to the LM P1 class." You can watch the full warm-up electric lap in a video below.

Nissan ZEOD RC heroic electric lap followed by heartbreak Amazing morning warm-up result after all-nighter by crew "New tech" car halted by "old tech" issue Nissan breaks new ground in electric vehicles LE MANS, France – Nissan's assault on the Le Mans 24 Hours may have ended early, but the revolutionary Nissan ZEOD RC electric prototype still leaves Le Mans having reached its historic goals of hitting 300 km/h on the Mulsanne Straight and recording a complete lap of Le Mans on electric power only. The unique prototype – which features both internal combustion and electric power sources – reached its first target during Thursday night qualifying when Satoshi Motoyama exceeded 300 km/h before the first chicane on the Mulsanne Straight. Nissan's other key goal was to complete an entire 8.5-mile lap of Le Mans on pure electric power. GT Academy winner Wolfgang Reip was at the wheel when the team achieved this goal during the morning warm-up.

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan 'No Charge' in Denver, A123 doubles

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Nissan has introduced its "No Charge To Charge" program in Denver, Colorado. As of June 2, customers who buy their new Nissan Leaf from certified dealers in the metro Denver area will get two years of free charging. Denver is the 16th market to offer "No Charge To Charge," with a total of at least 25 US markets scheduled to offer the program by the end of the year. "EV charging infrastructure continues to grow in Denver," says Nissan EV Sales and Marketing Director Andrew Speaker, "and access to free public charging for new Leaf buyers helps make owning an all-electric vehicle even more cost-effective and convenient." Read more in the press release below. Wanxiang is investing $200 million in A123 Systems in order to double its lithium-ion battery production. The combined capacity of its three production facilities in Michigan, Hangzhou, China and Changzhou, China will increase from 750 megawatt-hours to 1.5 gigawatt-hours in the next three years. The increased capacity will help support customers building hybrids, passenger EVs, and commercial vehicles. Included in the expansion is the capacity to build 12-volt starter batteries and 48-volt microhybrid systems. "It's been a tremendous turnaround," says A123 CEO Jason Forcier, referring to the company's 2012 bankruptcy. Forcier also says the company is already planning another expansion when this one is complete. Read more at Automotive News, and in the press release from A123. The Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan is ordering 150 Zoe EVs from Renault. King Abdullah II of Jordan signed an agreement with Renault, who will deliver the cars by the end of the year. The cars will be powered completely by solar energy generated on royal property. The order of the 150 Zoes is the largest since 2013, and makes Renault the largest provider for Jordan's royal EV fleet. Renault says that further EV orders are already being discussed. Read more in the press release from Renault-Nissan. Beijing, China will exempt electric vehicles from its limits to vehicles on roads during rush hour. Current policy, designed to help alleviate traffic and air pollution, restricts cars with even and odd license plates from rush hour traffic on alternating days. The exemption for EVs runs from June 1, 2015 until April 10, 2016. It is the newest in the list of perks meant to encourage EV adoption, despite the troublesome lack of charging infrastructure.

Nissan e-NV200 electric taxi comes to Amsterdam

Fri, Mar 14 2014

Amsterdam's Taxi Electric liked its two-plus years with an all-Nissan Leaf electric vehicle fleet so much that it just got bigger, or at least with its vehicle choice. The company, which says it's the first private-taxi outfit to boast an all-electric fleet, is going to start adding Nissan e-NV200 electric compact vans to its stable of vehicles. The company started out with its Leaf fleet in late 2011 and has since put about a million miles on the 25 EVs. Nissan said in January that the new electric van will start being tested by FedEx here in the state and it has already been put through the wringer by FedEx in Singapore, Japan and Germany. Last September, Nissan said it was in the "final development phase" of the electric compact van and would start selling it to the public this year, though it wasn't real specific with details. That month, it was also announced that the vehicle, which uses the same drivetrain as the Leaf, would go into taxi service in Barcelona sometime this year. Nissan representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for more details on when the model would start public sales, how much it would cost and what it's single charge range is. Until we hear back, you can check out the official press release below. This summer Taxi Electric becomes the first taxi company in Amsterdam to adopt the zero-emission Nissan e-NV200 Taxi Electric first 100% Nissan LEAF fleet since November 2011 Pioneering Amsterdam-based company have covered 1.5 million km demonstrating Nissan EVs' quality and reliability AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – Taxi Electric will be the first private taxi company to add the new 100-percent electric Nissan e-NV200 taxi to its green-energy zero-emission fleet. The combination of Nissan's innovative zero-emission technology, in the form of the 100-percent electric Nissan LEAF, and Taxi Electric's ground-breaking city transportation model have been a recipe for success since the start of operation in 2011. Now the two companies have teamed up again to build on this success and take the next step forward by introducing the game-changing all-electric Nissan e-NV200 taxi this summer. Amsterdam-based Taxi Electric operates a fleet of 25 Nissan LEAF vehicles. It was the first private taxi service to switch to a fleet of 100% electric taxis in 2011. The Dutch company's fleet of Nissan LEAFs has now amassed a trouble-free 1.5 million km in taxi operations – proof of the electric vehicle's high quality and reliability.
