Let me start off by giving you a little background on the 280z.This was the last incarnation of the first generation S30 body style. It featured an engine displacement enlargement of 2.8 L from the 2.6L in the 260z . A major change was the introduction of Bosch fuel injection, replacing the previous SU carburetors. This resulted in a power increase to 170 hp (127 kW), offsetting increased weight from added luxury features and an enlarged bumper that met US Federal regulations. 1977 and 1978 models received bumpers with recessed channels added to the faces of the bumpers themselves, that blended into corrugated or accordion style black rubber extension trim. Also new for the 1977 model year, 280Zs no longer received the full size spare tire, and instead had a "space saver" spare and a larger fuel tank.The 1977 was the last year was of the 280z and was replaced in 1978 by the 280zx.
I have owned this z for about 2 weeks. I bought this car as a surprise early graduation gift for my 6 foot 7 inch son, unfortunately he doesn't fit well into it and i need to sell this beauty. I bought it from the 2nd owner who owned it for about 10 years and bought it from the original owner as a mid life crisis vehicle. He babied and took care of this vehicle the entire time he owned it. He only put about 2k miles on it the entire time he owned it and drove it only when it was nice outside.He took off the rear window louvers off the car because he didn't like the way they looked. this 280z has been an oregon car its whole life.It has the rare optional 5 speed transmission, a/c, and sunroof. I have been unable to find any rust on this car beside the small spot of surface rust about the size of a quarter on the front bumper. This car runs and drives excellent. the paint is in great condition.this vehicle still has the original space saver spare tire and air inflator. The only thing wrong with the car is that it needs some windshield wiper motors as they are not working at the moment. The vehicle comes with an extra door handle,rear window louvers, fuel pump and a couple of manuals for the car.If you are worried about appearances then you may want to recover the drivers seat and put in a new carpet kit.the reason for those things is because the carpet in the rear of car is ripped in spots and the drivers seat has a few tears. if you are looking for a great looking and driving car for the summer or a perfect car for the graduate in your life this is the one you are looking for. for more information please call 5032009906 On May-08-14 at 17:56:17 PDT, seller added the following information: If you need to get approved for a loan to purchase the vehicle please do so prior to bidding. if you need to inspect the vehicle please do it before auction ends.once auction completes you enter into a contract to purchase the vehicle.

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
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.
