1978 Datsun 280ZX Coupe



Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX
The car shows 71k on it and has really 1 original owner
since 78-2012.
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, expect little to NO RUST on or near
the body etc.
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.
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 blast to drive.

Some things I know the car needs: Hi/low beam headlight
switch not working / small dent LF fender / boot around 
the shifter torn or missing, you get alot of heat from the
motor up thru there when driving. / and once in a while I
hear a small rattle by the motor. Sounds like either maybe
an alternator bearing or water pump ? I hear it from time
to time, but havent pinned down whats making the noise.

DRIVETRAIN: Original S30 L4  runs great with plenty of 
power in every gear.   ALL stock - un molested just the
way Nissan built it.
Trans and clutch feel good too.

INTERIOR: Showing it age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span
but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough
in a weekend. Headliner gone, dash cracked (cheap cover 
on it currently) seats and door panels showing wear.
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.
Think it had window tint on it that was removed yrs ago.
AC all connected and worked last summer, but now 
it is blowing cool, not cold. Unless Im not using the controls
correctly.  

SUSPENSION: 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 , but I the shocks are
old and mushy. Tires decent, but nothing special.
(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. Air damn is in good shape, where most are torn or
ripped off. Trunk struts work well. 
overall, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy
car to restore back to original.

Nissan-Renault mule teases mysterious subcompact

Tue, Sep 8 2015

There's always something intriguing about a mystery, especially of the automotive kind, and that's exactly what we have here. Our spies recently spotted this Nissan-Renault test mule on the road in Southern Europe. But what, exactly, are they testing? From the front end, it's clear this mule started life as a Nissan Versa Note, but check it out in profile to see the cut down rear doors. They're significantly shorter than on the production car, and the wheelbase isn't as long here, either. The tacked on fender flares suggest a wider track than stock, too. Making things even more complicated is the bizarre cladding this subcompact hatch is wearing. The odd tumors on the hood and blistered side panels indicate that the automaker is trying to keep the design underneath a secret. Given Renault and Nissan's tight relationship, it also isn't clear which company is testing this model. While the body comes from the Note, this one is wearing French license plates. According to our spies, the vehicle was also spotted leaving a Renault testing location. There are some possibilities, though. Renault already has the new Twingo out, and the next-gen Megane has an imminent release. The French brand could now be at work on a future Clio. Alternatively, Nissan is reportedly using the Sway concept as inspiration for the upcoming Micra, and we could be getting a preview here. Give us your best guess in Comments. Related Video:

Next Nissan GT-R to take cues from GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans entry

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

For those wondering why Nissan named its coming Le Mans Prototype the GT-R LM Nismo, colliding the two worlds of sports car and prototype racing, an article in Autocar might have the answer. The deeper union is explained by saying that the next-generation GT-R will use "hybrid technology that will closely align it" with the GT-R LM Nismo.
The point could be further driven home by the fact that the GT-R LM Nismo will begin its FIA endurance racing campaign next year, and the next GT-R is due to debut next year as a 2016 model. The expectation is that it will use a hybrid system possibly dubbed R-Hybrid and perhaps developed by Williams. Just like performance car makers Ferrari and Audi, Nissan wants its racing efforts to pay off with road car technology, company vice president Andy Palmer saying they "want to link technological linkages between future evolutions of the GT-R and evolutions of what we do in LMP1, and the two do go in both directions."
The bigger question is, with the GT-R getting hybrid assistance, will it also get the weight gain that usually comes with it? Enthusiasts would love to see the trend reversed, especially on a car that's already no lightweight.

Nissan's Carlos Ghosn offers to wear electronic ankle tag if released

Mon, Jan 21 2019

TOKYO — Ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn has offered to wear an electronic ankle tag and hire guards to monitor him in an unusual bid to secure his release on bail after two months of harsh detention in Japan for alleged financial crimes. Ghosn is also willing to remain in Tokyo, where he has leased an apartment, and post stock he owns in Nissan as collateral, his spokeswoman said. A new bail hearing is set for Monday after an earlier request was denied due partly to concerns the French executive was a flight risk. His release would allow Ghosn to meet more frequently with his lawyers and defend himself before the board of Renault, where he remains chairman and CEO, amid calls for his removal and potential moves to restructure the Nissan tie-up. Ghosn denies any wrongdoing as he awaits trial on charges of financial misconduct. "I will attend my trial not only because I am legally obligated to do so, but because I am eager to finally have the opportunity to defend myself," Ghosn said in a statement on Sunday. "I am not guilty of the charges against me, and I look forward to defending my reputation in the courtroom." Meanwhile, Ghosn's wife, Carole Ghosn, has written to French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss her husband's situation, her public relations representative said. The representative, Devon Spurgeon, confirmed a report in French paper Journal du Dimanche that a letter had been sent to Macron this month, but declined to provide details. France wants a full merger As Ghosn's arrest on Nov. 19 continued to cloud the outlook for Nissan's three-way alliance with France's Renault and Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan said it was not the time to discuss revising the partners' capital ties. Ghosn, who spearheaded Nissan's turnaround two decades ago, had pushed for a deeper tie-up between Nissan and Renault, including possibly a full merger by 2020, despite strong reservations at the Japanese firm. "We are not at the stage for such discussions," Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa told reporters on Monday. Saikawa said he had not heard directly about a reported proposal by the French government to integrate the Japanese carmaker's management with Renault. The Nikkei newspaper reported on Sunday that a French government delegation had informed Tokyo that it would seek an integration of Renault and Nissan, most likely under the umbrella of a single holding company. "Since I have not heard this directly, I cannot comment," Saikawa told reporters.
