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!

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
