1972 Datsun 240z 3liter Turbo on 2040-cars
|
I moved to Japan in September. I will not be coming back to the US in the near future so my Z has to go. It's currently being garaged at a friend's house in downtown San Jose, CA. They are very flexible on pickup but you will have to arrange it with them. The title was misplaced during my move so you will have to transfer the title with a bill of sale, which I will provide. All items in the car are yours also. Please bring something to jump start the battery with because it is most likely dead from sitting. Good Things: 1972 Datsun 240Z 3 liter 280ZX Motor Garrett GT3576 (?) Turbo External Wastegate MSD ignition coil JSK Fuel Rail Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Bosch Racing Fuel Pump "044" 420CC Injectors Jim Wolf ECU Gauges Switched to 78 280Z Grant GT Steering Wheel 300ZX Clutch Type Limited Slip Differential (R200 LSD) Tokio Adjustable Shocks Front & Rear Strut Tower Bars Spearco Intercooler Euro Tail Light Assemblies Euro Front Turn Signal Lenses No Cracks On Dash Flawless Seats and Door Panels GM 120AMP Alternator Conversion Extra wheels: original minilite wheels Yakima bike rack : Ski rack All of the other parts in the trunk (adjustable coil overs, camber plates, etc...) Things that need work: Roof rail was slightly bent when I drove into my garage with bicycle on the roof rack Doors could be rehung so they close better Front Left Fender off color Quarter Sized Crack on windshield small ding on right front fender Cold Start Valve removed so you need to step on the gas when starting up on cold days Intercooler/intake plumbing could be done better Idle sometimes drops off due to leak in intake Oil Leak in turbo oil feed line near oil filter Hatch strut bracket could be strengthened |

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
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.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
