Up for bid is this great platform for a ground-up restoration of a classic sports car...I bought this car used in 1980 with 40,000 miles on it...It had recently been repainted bright white and a one-piece glass sunroof added...The original color was a sort of royal blue metallic paint...The original interior vinyl was (and still is) white and the carpet, dash, conole, and etc are black...This car has NEVER been wrecked; not even the most minor fender bender...It is 90% original save for the white paint and sunroof...I have the original steel wheels and wheel covers that came on the car (of course they are included in the sale)... I have the original owners manual (sans cover), and the original ignition key...Also have the original jack, lug wrench, and wheel chocks...I replaced the Sanyo aftermarket FM/cassette player that was in it with the proper unit from Datsun... The engine runs fine and is all stock; it has never been mucked with save for necessary repairs, ie. new water pump, radiator, clutch slave cylinder, new injectors, new vacuum line harness, and new coil...The oil and filter was changed about every 2500 miles using Castrol GTX 10W40 and Datsun factory filters...The spark plugs were changed yearly using the proper NGK plugs recommended for the car...Of course the air filter element was changed frequently as well (Datsun factory part)...The biggest problem with the car right now is that the clutch plates are frozen up and the car cannot be moved without starting in gear or towing...Before I parked it I had installed hard urethane bushings throughout the front end and new McPhereson strut cartridges all the way round, as well as new black rubber bumper pieces, so they're not dry rotted and crumbly...It's now wearing some very spiffy Gotti-look faux modular wheels (I never could afford to spring for BBS's...The rear hatch glass was intact a year ago but was the victim of a lawnmower-thrown rock that spiderwebbed the glass and it is now crumbling (boo-hiss!!)...The door handles are stuck and no longer operate from outside, you have to go in through the hatch...there are certainly rust issues but they are mostly surface...The floor pans of, course, are bad and need replaced...This car was garage-kept and babied for the first ten years or so that i had it, but a growing family forced me to use it as a work car...I had always intended to totally restore this car back to "Awesome" status (do any of you remember "Awesome"?), but finances and a place to work always prevented it...It hurts to sell what was once my "pride and joy", but I must!! I'd love to see someone take it that can restore it to its original (or more enhanced) glory...If you have an idea to put the ubiquitous small-block Chevy engine in it, please don't tell me! I couldn't take it! (Besides these cars were built to be BALANCED in all attributes right down to the tire size, aspect, and inflation, and it'll already bark the tires in all four gears!!) For those potential bidders who've seen this add before, the moron who was high bidder last time did not read the instructions or the description or even research how far it is from West Virginia to Fresno, CA (where he lives) and simply reneged on the deal...He's a BAAAADD Ebayer!!

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If 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."
