Here is a listing for a nice little 35 year old sports car. I bought this vehicle about 6 months ago out of a shed in Florida. Brought it back to life and is ready for a good home. I have listed some before pictures so you can see how much work has been done. She runs and drives good. The five speed shifts well and the motor starts right up. Clena Florida title. Here is a list of what has been restored.
Interior-
New floor pans, carpets,seats,headliner,dash cover, visors, window cranks, all trim panels, shifter and boot, ebrake boot, 1200watt boss audio mp3 stereo w 12"sub
Turn signal and headlight stalks, steering column trim, cig lighter, hood release, pedal kit, door locks that all work with keys. basically the entire interior.
Motor-
Plugs,wires,coil, cold air kit, tstat, radiator hoses, flushed system, cap, heater houses, oil, filter, timing chain looks new(pic) fuel filter,pump. Battery tray.
Brakes-
Master cylinder, front callipers, pads, rear drums have new pistons and springs.
Exterior-
Body kit, Bre spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper detail, front valance, fiberglass hood, side mirrors, All glass removed and new rubber all the way around, wipers, emblems, some of the chrome(drip rails, quarter glass, front windshield chrome and rear hatch glass chrome) rest is original. custom built grill(from fairlady) 4 new 16x8 rota look alike rims. Nexen 225 in rear and 215 potenzas in front(70% life). 1" aluminum hubcentric spacers all the way around for wider stance and rim offset. Monza exhaust tip. New paint, Eastwood single stage urethane. I give it a B+ looks awesome from 5 feet and even better in pics. Smooth as glass. However the flake pattern is a little off in some spots. not noticable unless your looking for it. I have about 8oz left that i will include for touch ups as needed.
Heres a few other general description items. I have only driven it a few times but here is what I know. Starts first try everytime even cold. Drives straight but at about 45mph there is a slight vibration you can feel in the steering wheel. Maybe just a tire balance issue. The steering is tight with no play. Shifts smoothly through all gears and reverse. However 2nd has a faint buzzing sound initially then goes away. Needs an e brake cable. It worked till a few weeks ago until cable broke at driver side drum. 60$ part. I may just fix it. Headlights high and low beams , tail lights, running lights, brake lights, hazards all work, blinkers are on the "blink", It may be the relay.20$. I replaced all bulbs also. license plate lights work, , map light works, dash lights work, dome does not, Tach, speedo,odometer,clock, oil pressure, battery gadges all work. Fuel gadge does not. Wipers arms and blades are new. The wiper motor comes on with the switch but they dont move without help. Rain X may be the ticket. I will include 17x11 color wiring diagram and complete Hanes manual. All the glass is original so it does have some wear. There is a small chip in passenger side of windshield low by dash. Not in line of sight. Heater and blower work. Was not equipped with ac. 98% of the rust has been replaced. There is a spot on front cross member and on the inside of passenger side frame tunnel. I couldnt get to it with only a floor jack. Basically it is not a concourse car. It is 35 years old and still needs a few tweeks. If you leave it as is it would still be an awesome Z to have. I have tried to describe this Z to the best of my knowledge. If you have any questions please send them to me. I will also deliver for free within 200 miles of 32137 as I have a flatbed trailer to haul it. After payment ofcourse.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
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."
