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.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles

Sun, Jul 9 2023

When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.

RC car drift video brings Fast and Furious style in 1:10 scale

Mon, Apr 13 2015

Taking a cue from Lexus' 2015 Super Bowl ad Let's Play, Falken Tire is proving that RC cars can drift just as well, if not better, than their full-size counterparts. However, to make things four times as exciting, this clip eschews a single hopped-up model hanging its tail out in favor of a quartet of them sliding around together. Starring 1:10 RC versions of popular drift machines like the Nissan S15 Silvia, Mazda FD-chassis RX-7 and Initial D star Toyota Corolla AE86, these cars also get a suite of blinking LEDs to lend some extra color to all of the tire spinning. Plus, the use of well-positioned cameras and a scale model environment almost makes this group look like they're at work in the real world.

Lebanon has 40 days to figure out what to do with Carlos Ghosn

Fri, Jan 24 2020

BEIRUT — Lebanon and Japan have about 40 days to decide whether ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn will be extradited to Japan or stand trial in Lebanon, a judicial source and a source close to Ghosn said on Thursday, following his escape from Japan. Ghosn fled to Lebanon, his childhood home, as he was awaiting trial on charges of under-reporting earnings, breach of trust and misappropriation of company funds, all of which he denies. Japan and Lebanon have no extradition agreement, and Lebanon does not typically hand over its nationals. Ghosn's legal team is hoping to hold the trial in Lebanon, where the former auto executive has deep ties and hopes to clear his name. Japan has in recent days asked Lebanon to clarify what files Tokyo needs to send as part of an official extradition request, the two sources said. "They came back and requested a clarification. Today, we sent that to the Japanese," the judicial source said. That communication is significant because, according to Lebanon's rules for dealing with Interpol notices, it triggers a roughly 40-day period by the end of which agreement must be reached between the countries on where and how Ghosn will stand trial, the sources said. Japan must now either send a formal extradition request to Lebanon or send Ghosn's file to Beirut and agree on a process for trying him there, the source close to Ghosn said. An Interpol spokesperson said on Friday the organization did not itself dictate a timeframe or require any action to be taken by countries and such a framework is set locally. Ghosn, who holds Lebanese, French, and Brazilian nationality, was questioned earlier this month by Lebanese prosecutors who confiscated his passport and imposed a travel ban as part of the Interpol arrest warrant process. The source close to Ghosn said the former executive can appeal to Lebanon's prosecutor to drop the ban and return his passport if Japan does not respond within the timeframe. Japanese prosecutors have said they are still pushing for Ghosn to be tried in Japan. Ghosn has struck out at what he has called Japan's unjust judicial system and said the alternative to fleeing would have been to spend the rest of his life languishing in Tokyo without a fair trial.
