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 |

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.
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.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
