I am selling this Z because I purchased it about 2 years ago with the intentions of freshening up the interior and repainting it and re-living the good old days (had one in high-school). It has turned into a bigger project than I have time for since I got married and my priorities have changed. I hate to let it go, and I hate to see it in its current state everyday also. The engine runs fine, but it needs a boost since the battery is dead. The transmission and rear end all worked fine last time I drove it (about a year ago). The paint is very rough but the body is in very good condition. Interior is rough, but is 90% there. The tires are old and will have to be replaced and the brake fluid has leaked down, not sure where. The car felt very road worthy before I parked it, I honestly dont think it will need much more than an interior and a paint job, go through the brakes and a new set of rubber. The previous owner replaced almost everything under the hood trying to get it to run right before i bought it and found the Cylinder Head Temp Switch connection was dirty. I replaced the instrument cluster with an analog model because it came with a digital one that didnt quite work right. I also replaced the harness. The a/c doesnt work/switch modes right, has the fancy automatic kind. I have a spare control unit for this I will include as well as several misc new tune up parts I never got around to installing. I will also include a brand new JVC CD player, still in the box, since I removed the old factory stereo and modified the lower dash for the new one. I will also include brand new Pyle 6x9 Speakers in carpeted enclosures and an 800w amp and 12" sub kit in a carpeted box, all brand new and purchased for this car. I will also include a set of 4 15inch "snowflake" wheels which I bought for the car and never got tires for. I have the title and paperwork transferring it to me and I will provide a bill of sale for you which should be all that is necessary. The car will have to be towed at buyers expense.

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 to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
