Hello and thanks for taking a look at my car! What I have up for sale is a 1975 Datsun 280Z, that has had a L28ET engine swamped into it. Also as you can see, the front end of the car has undergone the ZG conversion, along with the addition of the fender flares and mirrors. In addition, the bumpers were replaced as well.


This car has a had a laundry list of work done to it, spanning over four years after its purchase locally. This car is running as of now and I am using it as a daily driver. If you are curious to why I am selling it, its because of that sole reason. Since my primary car recently broke down, I do not want to rely on my Z as my primary transportation. I always intended it as my weekend car, not a daily driver. This is a fantastic car, looks and engine wise, and I will attempt to list what is the most important things from the car, because a complete part list would be too much list. 

Exterior: 
Fairlady ZG Front End
ZG Fender Flares
Fender Mirrors
MSA Fiberglass Rear Bumper
HID Headlights
Konig Rewinds Rims (16X7 4X114.3)

Interior:
Pioneer CD Player(Includes AUX port)
Aftermarket Speakers( Located in Trunk area)
AEM Boost Controller

Engine/Mechanical:
Rebuilt L28ET engine, to include new parts such as distrubutor, battery, alternator, and coil.
Cylinder Head Machined 
Reconditioned Oil Pan
Turbonetics T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
Custom Intercooler/Piping
Custom 3" inch exhaust, with Magnaflow muffler'
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
Hayden 8" Electric Fans (X2)
Steel Flywheel
Toyota Four Piston Caliper breaks
Tokico HP (Blues) Struts Front and Rear
Tokiko Springs Front and Rear
Functioning Air Conditioning Unit
Thermostat 160 Degree
Clutch Kit

Cosmetic Damage: 
Driver side rear tailight housing has a crack, as shown in pictures. With this car I am also selling a pair of 240Z tailights to replace the 280Z lights.
The front bumper has a crack from a car dinging it, as shown in pictures as well.


This is just a portion of some of the work done to this vehicle. I have years of paperwork detailing continued maintence with this vehicle to include things such as all bushings being replaced, air conditioned install and repair, transmission mounts replaced, etc. This car has been meticulously taken care of these past years, and it shows. Also included with the car is two boxes of parts to include replacement gauges, extra break pads, 240Z tailights and more. 

Last reminders, as this engine was just rebuilt, it is still in the break-in phase. I have done the first two oil changes at the 1000mi mark so far. Also, the 8" inch fans are doing their job, but I have realized that 12" fans are necessary to keep up with the extra heat, and the lack of airflow from the ZG nose. If you do purchase this vehicle, that would be my suggestion to purchase larger fans or swap in the Ford Taurus OEM fan like many do. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask and good luck bidding!

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.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We'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.
