I977 Datsun 280Z, 5015 actual miles, auto trans,Been sitting on and off for some time, Previous owners bought new in Calif. Have documentation on most of the history of car, Going thru some of the service records and history orig. owner had trouble with fuel inj. from almost day one, probably mostly from not being driven enough, or just plain trouble I would guess, They sold it and the owner I bought it from said he drove it and it ran fine until sediment plugged up the fuel inj. again. Anyway long story short he took it to a shop and they started replacing some fuel parts and labor which were adding up money wise pretty fast. I Believe they never flushed the gas tank ( In their defense they were told it was clean and it wasn't) Anyway he finally got kinda frustrated with the progress or lack there of and also he winding down on the toys( He is in his mid to late 70's) Car has had some paint work over the years, He said a car cover was on the car when he was trailering it cross country from old home to new home. Car is not mint, mint but pretty close and overall very nice and super low miles.

Overall it is a neat car, I took the gas tank out and it needs to be boiled out or treated. Car will not run unless fuel system is fixed. When I found out about the car I looked it over pretty good, neat color, overall cond. matched miles and interior is excellent with no wear or cracks. It is a two seater not the 2+2. At first I wasn't crazy about the auto because I personally think a manual tranny is more desirable in a Z but with the miles and the overall shape cars come up like this very rarely. I never planned to sell it until I sorted it out and I still might not, Deal is a friend of mine told me today he is selling his very orig. 57 Chev, and he gave me an opportunity to buy it, so I am going to put a few things on ebay that I would never sell so soon. I work a lot and with older cars and motorcycles I own time just seems to be flying by, plus just plain time to downsize maybe or think about it. If deal falls thru on Chev I am going to remove all my listings to be honest. But I am going to give it a shot, just got home from looking at it and went right on computer. I encourage any questions please e-mail me thru ebay and I will also talk to you in person. Or please look at in person if possible before bidding, nothing to hide but when buying something of value be prudent, I am fussy,check my feedback and what I have sold, not much but all excellent cond. items. That is the way it should be Honest seller to Buyer. No games or scams please, I think I have read or heard about most of them. I am not a dealer. Private collector, Friends tease me because I rarely sell anything, but here goes.

I have owned a few Porsche's over the years, most were very low mile orig. cars, some of the later ones were Bosch FI, Good friend of mine owns a high end foreign repair shop and he services and races Porsche's (944, gt3, Cayman S) you name it they are very trick and spendy. He told me to keep it FI and he would even help me get it up and running, he also said some FI parts are now pretty reasonable priced while some Bosch parts are spendy so check. I also thought about putting Dual carbs like the early Z's, Talked to a few vendors that do the carb conversion properly and they gave me estimates of about 850.00 - 1000.00 with air cleaner to do it right. It's a toss up troublesome FI or carbs both about the same to get back on road, I was leaning on putting carbs( They look and sound cool) on and keep all the factory equipment. I know alot of guys are putting in small block chevys in these also (I also have some older chevy muscle cars) relatively easy swap but car is too nice to not keep not orig. Also going to list 1941 ford 2dr. nice orig. Also maybe some of my vintage motorcycles also(35+) Right to end auction any time, for sale locally. Cash or bank wire, certified funds, us buyers only, in the event of a sale, car does not get shipped until funds clear. Thanks Mike

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

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.
