This Datsun is not and was never intended to be built as a restoration project. This car was never intended to be built and brought back to stock formation. The whole idea of this car was to make a cool looking, cool sounding, fast street car that could be enjoyed in all driving conditions. Though the list of "negatives" are higher, be known its all smaller stuff. This car as is, right now, is a complete turn key car. The car doesn't leak, smoke, or make any weird noises from the motor or transmission. You turn the key, and it starts right up, idles fine on its own and will drive down the street. All the lights, blinkers, horn, gauges, wipers, radio and interior climate fan work as should. The motor pulls strong and the Transmission shifts smooth. The clutch grabs firm, yet easy to handle. The car brakes just fine and steers straight.

mods are as follow:

Suspension: Struts with coil-over sleeves. Poly bushings here and there (not complete set).

Drive-Line:

OBD2 Lt1 with T56 trans.
GM "hot cam" performance kit
electric water pump
big aluminum Rad with multi-speed fan.
Vortech V2 supercharger with Vortech Water to air Inter-cooler.
Crane digital ignition system with on the fly timing control dial.
300zx LSD diff and axles.

Brakes wheels:
Sparco lightweight 17" wheels
Wilwood stage 3 kit: floating rotors and 4 piston calipers on all 4 corners
5-lug conversion.

Please call with any serious questions, I will be happy to answer as much as possible!(704-756-2146) For reference, I did NOT build this car. An older gentleman did, and he has passed away. Therefore, I do NOT have every ounce of knowledge about this Datsun.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
