My Datsun 280zx Turbo is up for sale! This car has been my project for a while now, and has had a lot of money put into it. I need to sell it as I have just picked up a 240z and I no longer have the time to devote to this car. It does need some work, hence the low price. I know what the components in this car are worth, and if you can fix it or can use the components(For a swap or otherwise), you're getting this 280zxt for a steal. Nearly everything in the drivetrain has been replaced, rebuilt, or upgraded, including the engine and turbo. It has been a California car all its life and has minimal rust, but there are some small spots. Everything I have found has been on the body, and absolutely nothing on the frame. It is a salvage title unfortunately, though I had even forgotten that. There is no frame damage, and unfortunately insurance companies like to do this to these classic cars. I have been underneath the car more times than I can count and there is nothing wrong with it. There are some dents and body damage, but it is 30+ years old at this point and the price reflects that. Pictures of said damage included. Ebay only allows me to post 4 pictures on here(For free), but here is a link to my photobucket with plenty more:

peterckarla's 280zxt album on Photobucket

It does drive almost flawlessly as is. But at idle there is a very slight roughness. My guess is the O2 sensor as I was getting no reading from it with my multimeter. Nearly everything mechanical and sensor wise has been replaced though, see the list below. I will give the most accurate description of the car I can.

So here's a list of the work done on the car:
All of these are within ~13,000 miles
Complete Bottom/Top End of Engine Rebuilt
Low Mileage T-5 Manual Transmission swapped in
New Brute Power Clutch and Flywheel
New Water Pump
New Alternator
New NGK BPR7ES-11 Spark Plugs
New NGK Spark Plug Wires
New Distributor Cap/Rotor
New Valve Cover Gasket
New Fuel Pressure Regulator
New 3-Wire O2 Sensor
New Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
Replaced Vacuum and Fuel Lines/filter
New Fuel Pump
New Thermostat Sensor
Replaced all Fluids recently including Castrol High Performance Synthetic oil at change ~500 miles ago
New Starter Motor
New Fuel Injector Set
Factory Rebuilt MAF
All Exhaust Gaskets Replaced
New Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Here's a List of UPGRADES done to the car:
R200 OBX Helical Type LSD
New T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
New Larger 3 Core Aluminum Radiator
Upgraded to 300zx Ignition Coil
New Poly Suspension Bushings all around
Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors w/ Semi-Metallic pads
Stainless Steel Brake Lines
New Tokico HP Struts all around
New Magnaflow Muffler - Not overly loud and has a great tone
300ZXT ECU Swap
Greddy Profec B Electronic Boost Controller
Rare 120mph Speedo Swapped in

The bad:
Still on the factory paint job and has a few dents.
Fuel pump is wired up to a switch at the moment, could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, I like it.
The trunk interior isn't in the best condition, however the front is in very good condition.

This car is ready for more boost! All you need is a front mount intercooler and some bigger injectors. Everything else is 100% ready to go. It's also the perfect candidate for a swap into your s30, a rebuilt engine w/ upgraded turbo, low mileage T-5, new helical LSD for a good price. The rest of the car could easily be parted/sold and make your swap cheap. I simply don't have the time.

Aside from the idle, the car pulls fantastically through the rev range. The 300zx ECU swap was a great upgrade from the stock management system. The upgraded turbo spools way faster than stock, and these upgrades alone (Running 10-12lbs of boost) makes the car significantly faster and more fun to drive. Coupled with the HLSD, and all of the new suspension bits this thing can take a corner much better than stock as well.

As you can see in the photos, I have the glove box removed currently. I have all of the parts for it bagged and I will gladly reinstall it if you wish. Also, underneath the radio you'll see a hole, that is where the Greddy Electronic Boost controller is located. I currently have that removed due to smog, but it WILL be included with the car.

This car comes with a couple of extra parts as well if you want them, I will discuss this with the buyer based on the price. (2nd Refurbed MAF ~$250, High Flow Walbro Fuel Pump, a second set of Turbo wheels w/ nearly NEW Falken tires ~$400 etc etc).

Please click this link to go to my photbucket album and take a look at my car, Ebay will only allow me to post 4 pictures free:

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to call or text me at (530) 919-9798 (Leave a voicemail if no answer, bad cell service at home) or contact me through ebay and I will be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. I can also take more pictures of specific areas if you wish! The car is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early if I reach an agreement outside of ebay. You CAN drive the car home if you wish, however it may be good to have a truck to bring that extra set of wheels with you. Also, if you are local, we can definitely arrange for you to come see the car.

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.

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."

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
