Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Advertising:

1972 240Z Production date of 10/71
Originally a California Car
No signs of any accidents
This is the cleanest unmolested Z that I have ever seen. It is very rare to find a Z as complete as this one with Factory parts. Almost every other 240Z that I have come across has the seats recovered, after market carpet kits, and rust repairs  

There is no rust on the car
The car has been repainted once in its original Orange. Paint is over 12 years old and is shiny but not perfect. A few chips, light scratches 
Air conditioning
The interior is in great shape with the original seats (in perfect shape and not recovered) and original carpet. The door panels have been replaced with NOS ($1000.)
Too many NOS parts to list. Some examples being:
Full exhaust
Starter
Fuel pump
Door panels
Bumper mounts
All front end bushings
Tail lights
Brake master cylinder
coil
Nissan reman distributor
The frame is in mint shape with no repairs or undercoating covering up rust.
Windshield is chip and scratch free
Perfect headliner
The dash has no cracks but has been repaired in a couple of places.
Battery tray is clean 
Rebuilt motor
Rebuilt polished SU Carbs
Rebuilt 4 speed tranny with new clutch. Shifts like a dream.
Brand new 15" Rota rims in Hyberblack with Yokohama tires. Tires fit perfect with no rubbing.
The car also comes with the Stock wheels and Hub caps with Radial T/A's
Brand new Eibach springs and KYB struts on all 4 corners. The car also comes with the original springs which I can have put back in if you prefer.
Hidden 2 way paging alarm with immobilizer
The car runs and drives great. All of the U-joints are tight with Zero clunks 
I have all of the records for the car since 1989.
Previous owner spent $$$ replacing anything he could with Nissan New Old Stock parts.
Original radio and working power antenna
The car is stock except for the Wheels, springs, camber adjust and bump steer spacers. ( The clock has been replaced with an identical looking battery powered unit.
When the previous owner went to rebuild the motor the mechanic told him that one of the cylinders would have to be bored. He was not comfortable with this. Instead he had a separate  block rebuilt and stored the original numbers matching block. This block will be included in the sale. 
The air con needs to be recharged. The previous owner said that it will hold a charge for 2 years. It is 40 years old and has hose clamps instead of threaded fittings.
The car has a custom tonnue cover in the back hatch area that can easily be removed (snaps) 
The car is located in Vancouver Canada, which is a 3 hour drive from Seattle. 
I will try to ad a video of the car running and driving in the next couple of days. All of the pictures in the ad are current 
I have added pictures of the frame, very few of the sellers add these.This in my opinion is the most critical part of the car. If they have been repaired or replaced the rest of the car will have rust as well. Do not be fooled by New shiny repaints
There is much more to this car than in the ad. If you are serious about purchasing the car reply with your phone number for more info.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A 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.

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.
