Probably 151982 actual mileage

I have owned this vehicle for 13 years. Lots to tell about this car and a lot of spare parts come withit. Way too much to type here or explain with a few photos. Bottom line on this car is; one small rust bubble on the rocker and (lower)driver fender. A small rust bubble starting on the pass rocker side. Doors have no rust.Underside of car shows small amount of surface rust on the exposed stone chips ect but NOT SERIOUS AT ALL- original floors, no welded patch panels any where. No hokey fake rust repair or dollar store undercoating meant to disguise rust. _ a true survivor type car. Check out the original spotwelds on the rear wheel wells. Solid body. Texas car stored in a heated garage for last 13 years. Rebuilt engine will (some small amount) need tuning, depending on your altitude above sea level. right now it, is jetted 135 primary, 140 secondary with 55 idle jets, float level has been set at 41-51mm travel …….its running a touch lean….but the summer is on the way ,so a bit lean is good for 40 degrees weather we had today.( have add’l jets that come with the car) Dgv carbs. I have all jets necessary for tweaking . Vehicle is Solid as a rock. One respray since new. Needs paint. As you can see their is primer on the pass side lower fender., this is not a rust repair, it is just a test area to see if I liked the orange paint I picked for the car, stripped off old enamel and primed over never got time to respray the car , also youll notice the cowl panel is not original.

Has new (tokico)shocks, springs in the front .Poly bushings too. Have springs and shocks for back.(but they are not installed yet. They of course come with the car along with SS brake hoses.)

Rear quarters are rust free. Still have original spot welds. Floor is same. This car is rarely seen in this condition. Period. I have been working on these cars for 15 years and have never seen one in the same condition ,If you have been searching for a rock solid Z this may be it.

91 octane only, head has been “shaved” .009…runs smooooooth on 91 octane, I have never tried 87 octane in the car, and don’t plan on it. I calculate compression around 9.5 :1, has oversize pistons and new fresh valve springs, valve seals and guides. I setup the valvetrain personally using the proper method for adjusting wipe pattern on the lash pads ect……Good 5 angle valve job.

I would prefer that you come and see for yourself. Also give me a call for all the info. We can talk for an hour. I know a lot about z cars, and can help with additional pictures of anything you want to see. I have new thresholds door handles and quarter emblems that are included. Sorry but way to much to list. 7169559893 Aaron.(send a text if you want to request a specific picture, or if your shy and just don’t want to talk) Thanks for looking

Received a few questions about the car.

I am selling because I've been traveling for work a lot. In the last 5 years I have been away from home over 3 summers. The car has never seen a winter since I have owned it starting in 1999, so I have been unable to use the car since 2007. In 2007 it ran like a dream. But I needed to give it some TLC over the winters so, In 2009 I rebuilt the carbs changed to, the eletric fuel pump, and pressure regulator. Currently running 3PSI with a return loop fuel line.It starts and runs fine. I just recently adjusted the valve clearance, and installed new rocker arm springs, for that “like new “valve train sound. The car has a Monza header and exhaust system and is a blast to drive. Can start right up and load on your trailer ect. 5 speed trans out of a 280z. New front ball joints and tie rod ends(genuine MOOG) and superperformance urethane bushings in the front So will need and alignment before driving. Needs 4 tires also. Have all parts. but front bumper is a little dented and ugly Have a other good condition rear bumper with an over rider comes with it. Front skirt is great shape and is inside the cabin also included is NOS genuine Nissan threshold plates, door handles and “z” quarter emblems for that finished look after you get it painted.

Only reason I'm selling is I expect to travel this summer as well. I probably will not ever get a chance to enjoy the car. I have an extensive spare parts cash that’s comes with it. Oh I also have a NOS seat cover for the pass seat ,which has a small tear.

The car does not include a battery. That is the battery for my boat, Im just using it for now.

the e-brake funtions as it should, brakes feel a little soft but def ok to drive, but this car has been in storage for at least 6 years so please check everything out before you decide to drive it cross-country.

also rear hatch lock will need to be replaced.

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
