I have too many projects, and with an upcoming deployment, this car needs to go. I bought it off my friend as a project, but I honestly want a 240 I don't have to smog.


This car does have issues, I don't want to misrepresent this at all. The guy my buddy bought it from did some questionable shortcuts on it, I have fixed most of those.

Electrical issues: Brake pedal resets radio when depressed. New Voltage Regulator, new Alternator. Voltmeter spikes in conjunction with relay under passenger seat clicking.

Plastic trim creaks when car goes up a driveway. Frame rails aren't pretty. Rust at bottom of fender, wheel arches are hacked up under fender flares.

Engine misfires when warm. It's either AFM or Coolant temp sensor. Haven't had time to check resistance at ECU.

Enkei 92 wheels. Dash has half cap on it, seats are in great shape, headliner is perfect. Rear cargo area missing spare tire, spare tire cover, and carpet has worn spot. 

With that being said....

Holy cow, this car is AWESOME!!!!!!! This thing is my gateway drug to S30s!!! I want a 240 to do a V8 swap into. This car runs and drives, Just got smogged (don't ask how it passed..), tags good until next June. Every other car I have had is scared of corners, this thing just wants to go faster! I can take corners in this thing like I do on my sportbike. 

I leave for deployment next month, and instead of letting it sit I want it to go to someone who can enjoy it. My plan was to buy a 240 tub, and transplant the mechanicals, but like I say, I have no time.

I put a waterpump, fan clutch, alternator and Voltage regulator in it. I am half tempted to pull the L-Jetronic off and throwing carbs on it, but again, no time. The misfire is fuel-related (the coil and ignition system are fine). 

I don't want to screw anyone over here, clear title in my hand, car is for sale locally, I have the right to end this auction early. Thanks!

I will add pictures this week of the underside of the car if I can get it on the rack...

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.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
