This is a very nice example of a 1983 Datsun 280 ZX, the last year for this model. This 280 ZX has a t-top roof, power steering, power brakes, power windows, electric seat warmers, and air conditioning. It has been re-painted its original white color within the past two years and had a new $2,000 interior installed earlier this year. The car was equipped with cruise control, but it is not currently working.

The car is in mechanically excellent condition; the 2.8 L, 6-cylinder motor is strong and the 5-speed transmission shifts smoothly. The disc brakes and rotors are good. The car is reliable and handles very well.

Newer parts under the hood include a radiator, spark plugs, wires, distributor, coil, fuel filter, air filter, and alternator.   

The original shifter has been replaced by a short-throw.

The front tires are new.

The AC has been converted to R 134.

The original stereo has been replaced with a new CD player with bluetooth and new speakers.

The car's worst cosmetic problem is the hood has a couple of decent sized dings from a hail storm. The B pillar trim is missing on the passenger side, but would be easy to replace. There's a light remnant of a star chip that was filled on the windshield, but hasn't spread at all. There are other small, minor flaws here and there, but nothing major. This is not a show car, but is an extremely nice, extremely reliable driver.

Just passed a TX safety inspection.

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."

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The 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.
