Hello and thank you for looking at my 1978 Datsun 280z. This is a "hybridz" with low mileage, clean title, beautiful paint, and built for speed handling and durability. It was built to race, but ended up as more of a street hot rod with a "tame" tune. The Engine, from a 1982 Datsun 280z Turbo (L28DET), has about 4,000 miles on the rebuild and is fully built, as was the turbo. 79K on the chassis. No Rust!!
It has 40 over deep dish pistons all forged internals the turbo is a t3t4 hybrid ,2.1/2 in. Innercooler piping 3 in. Custom Exhaust, Euro Damper crank pulley, turbo running at a tame 10psi. Rear wheel HP at ~300. There is a lot more power that has not been tapped into.
5 speed turbo trans from the same 1982 280z, this is a must upgrade with this setup.
Suspension is Ground Control Coilovers all around with 250 lbs. springs. Handles like its on rails.
New Toyota 4 piston caliper upgrade in front 240 sx rear disc 1 inch bore new master cylinder, Slotted Rotors
In the rear end is a phantom grip, which is similar to a clutch style limited slip
Most of the exterior is shaved, 240z style front bumper, bullet side mirrors, awesome paint job
Interior is clean and I have the original seats that are in excellent condition, Momo steering wheel, Corbeau seats, the dash is cracked (a common problem), but I do have a full dash cover to fix this (this is a composite dash that fits over the original dash, it is NOT just a carpeted cover).
I also have most of the original parts (like the mirrors, emblems, side markers, etc)
One of a kind 17" Revolution wheels and have a set of 15" Diamond racing wheels.
Please contact me with any questions at 678 nine 1 0 eight 8 two zero. This car is only going to appreciate and it has recently become a focus in the Classic Car Arena. Buy with confidence, this Z is well built and fast.
This car is worth more than my reserve and over $35K was invested in this build. I am basically the 3rd owner, the previous owner owned the car for 17 years and purchased the car from the original family that owned the car, but multiple family members were owners.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
