Excellent running condition, restored body and interior. No rust. This car was owned by my Z mechanic who had just installed a new remanufactured L28 280z engine from Nissan (when you could still order replacement engines). I bought it from him after he had put about 2000 miles on it. I then had the body completely stripped and restored, painted Porsche Midnight Blue. I installed a 5 speed manual transmission from a 1984 300zx and rebuilt the center console to accommodate the new shifter. I also purchased a NOS OEM R200 differential. Ignition upgraded to a MSD electronic ignition. Aluminum radiator with thermostat controlled electric cooling fan. This car NEVER runs hot. Mechanical fuel pump replaced with a Holly electric fuel pump.The car has been meticulously maintained by mechanics at Z Expert and Precision Z. All oil changes made with Royal Purple. New heater core. New dual tip exhaust. All bushings changed to urethane. New rubber seals throughout. Headlight relays upgraded with new headlights. All gauges work including clock. Front and rear anti sway bars. New Carpet. Seats reupholstered in original black. This car runs smooth and starts up every time (choke needed on cold mornings). Choke works perfectly. The following keep the care from being a prize winning show car. The paint is very good, but not show quality as I have put about 3000 miles on the car and it has some chips (they are small and do not show in the pics). There are some very minor imperfections in the body (again, the do not show in the pics.) There is a small crack in one plastic headlight cover (around a mounting screw). The front urethane air dam paint shows some wear. The rear bumper has some chrome chipping underneath one section. The center console has some wrinkles in one corner. This car would make a dependable driver, or a future collectable. It is a blast to drive. Buyer pays shipping. Sold as-is. Please ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding. Thanks.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
