1978 Datsun 280z Nissan 280z on 2040-cars
Bemidji, Minnesota, United States

Here is a true survivor 1978 Datson 280Z 2 seater. The car runs and drives great, however I would recomend you trailer it or ship it home. It has been sitting for about 15 years in storage. It will need tires and a tune up as well as the brakes blead. I fired it up the other day and the longer I run it the better it ran. The clutch started slipping so I brought it to the mechanic to have the clutch fixed but it was only a mouse nest in the bellhousing, so I had him put the new clutch kit in anyway. I drove it home at highway speeds it ran out just fine. (about 20 miles) breaks were a little spongey but worked great. I also put in a new battery. The A/C still blows COLD! Spare tire, jack,and charge bottle for the spare are still in trunk...( These are very hard to find) As far as the body goes It's in great shape for a 78 datson....The floor pans are perfect, rockers are perfect, door bottoms are perfect,inner fenders are perfect. The only bad part about the car is somone in 1985 brought it in to a shop and put the fender flares on it. ( which are cracking where they meet the body) I think they got busted up in storage from being bumped all the time. In my opinion I would put new rear quarters on it and bring it back to orginal. (look at the pictures I showed a reciept for the work done in 1985) The other bad spot on the car is underneath the floor pans is a square tube that runs from front to back ( looks like the frame molded into the floor pans) on that piece where the car has scraped the ground or what ever, it scraped the undercoating off of it so a few spots rusted out not on the sides just the bottom looks like three spots about 2'' wide by 4'' long nothing too serious. I have the owners manual as well as the orginal window sticker from when it was new. (look at pictures) This would be a great car to restore or just drive it the way it is! If you have any questions please call me 218-308-1852 if I dont answer please leave a message and I will call you back.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If 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."
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
