Great Project! 280zx Tee Tops on 2040-cars
St. George, Utah, United States
|
1981 Datsun 280ZX 2+2. Great project! It seems to run ok, misses slightly at idle, probably needs a tune up. The spare tire well bottom is rusted away and there is surface rust around some of the windows and behind the right rear wheel. The odometer is showing 170k miles. The instruments and lights seem to work ok, one side marker is out and one tail light is out. The interior is rough, seats are faded but not torn. One cigarette burn on passenger seat. Dash is warped etc. Fuel injected straight six and five speed manual transmission. The transmission shifts ok but doesn't seem to shift smooth. AC fan doesn't work. Missing the sail panel trim on the drivers side b pillar. Left rear fender has been rubbed up against something and will need to be fixed before painting. The front spoiler has some damage as well that is fairly common for these cars. I noticed a slight vibration in the front end at around 50 mph. It will need tires before too long which might solve the vibration. Please ask any specific questions and please don't expect a showroom concours car. This Z is in need of TLC. I think it would drive anywhere just as it is but I can't guarantee it. This is a great project that you could drive while you work on it. I know it is listed as a 1980 the ebay listing program wouldn't accept the vin. |

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.
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.
