Up for sale is a very nice 1973 Datsun 240Z. It has a March 1973 build date, which is when Datsun set about making some improvements to the electronics, wiring, and chassis. The car only has 26,500 miles! Drivetrain: L24 E88 Head Ported and Machined MSA Stage 3 Camshaft HP Cylinder Machined Arizona Z Car Intake Manifold Holley 390 Carburetor MSA Long Tube Headers 2.25" Mandrel Bent Stainless Exhaust 2.5" Flowmaster Muffler Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Pertronix Flamethrower Coil 8 mm Spark Plug Wires NGK BPES Spark Plugs 2 Row Aluminum Radiator 5-speed from a 280Z New Clutch Master Cylinder Fuel Pressure Gauge Suspension and Brakes: Eibach 1.5" Lowering Springs New OEM Shocks and Struts MSA Sway Bar Kit Eurethane Bushing Kit 16x7" Centerline Corona Wheels 4 205/50/16 Continental ExtremeContact DW Tires (NEW) Upgraded 15/16" Master Cylinder New Brake Lines Upgraded Front Brakes Body: Mercedes Blue Color (Bahama Blue) Fiberglass Bumpers (small ones) MSA Type 1 Fiberglass Front Air Dam Rustproof Material Painted onto Underbody Black Engine Bay Custom Chrome Bullet Mirrors Shaved Side Markers Misc: MOMO Steering Wheel MOMO Steering Wheel Hub Corbeau TRS Seats Custom Black and Blue Vinyl Upholstery Schroth Harness New Carpets and Weatherstripping New Battery MSA Cupholder Center Console Rebuilt Turn Signal and Headlight Switch (These go bad, this one has been completely rebuilt and should be good for quite some time. I also have two spares which I can sell with the car.) Flaws: - Very small amount of surface rust on front left fender. Needs to be sanded down and repainted. -Carb needs a better tune. I can sell you the vacuum gauge to tune the idle mixture for a low price. -Dash is cracked as it always is on these cars, but it comes with a very nice molded cover and looks factory. -Speedometer reads the wrong speed. -Tachometer doesn't work. It needs to be converted to the later 280Z speedometer to work with the electronic ignition. I have the tachometer and will include it with the car. Overall, it's a great car. It does have some flaws which are listed, but they are all minor and don't impede the driving experience or cause too much of a problem. I've been driving it as is and have had no issues. The title on this vehicle is rebuilt. I got the car with a salvage title and turned it into a rebuilt after going through a tedious inspection in Florida. The body is straight, the car tracks true, and it has never been in an accident. The reason for the rebuilt title is because the car has been purchased from a junkyard in 1992 and was saved from getting destroyed. I will be including all the documentation I have for the vehicle. My reason for selling is because I am looking for a different type of classic vehicle, preferably American muscle. Text or call Leo at 904-993-5659 with any questions.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
