1973 Datsun 240z S30 With Lsx And 6-speed on 2040-cars
Buffalo, Minnesota, United States
I am selling my 1973 Datsun 240z with LS327 engine and T-56 transmission. I built this car a few years ago and have taken great care of it. The car is very fast, very loud and very reliable. It turns heads everywhere and is truly one of a kind. It has an almost a perfect 50/50 weight distribution due to the engine placement and stronger differential. I regularly get 30mpg during highway cruising. It started as a 36,000 mile California car and was purposely built to drive to the track, rip some pavement and get you back home before dinner. I have listed as much as I can remember about the build below. Most everything is new or rebuilt. All offers will be considered! Color is BMW Phoenix Yellow GM LS327 H.O. Engine LS1 Intake and Fuel Rails Aluminum Radiator w/ Electric Fan OEM Corvette Fuel Pump, Regulator and Filter T-56 6-Speed Transmission LUK Clutch Nissan 300zx 3:7 LSD w/ CV Halfshafts TechnoVersions Urethane Differential Mount Super Strong Driveshaft Ceramic Coated Hooker Headers 2.5” Dual Exhaust w/ Cat Delete Tokico HP Shocks Arizona Z-Car Springs Urethane Bushings Bump Steer Spacers Strut Tower Brace Front, Nissan 300zx Ventilated Discs and Calipers (excellent stopping power) Rear, Nissan 300zx Discs and Calipers (retains parking brake) Brake Master Cylinder w/ New Booster SS Braided Brake Lines Hawk HP Pads 17x7.5 Kazera’s finished in Matte Black Yokohama Parada Spec B Tires NOS Dashboard (perfect condition) NOS Heater Panel Speedhut Speedo w/ top speed recall and Tach w/ programmable shift lights Pontiac Solstice Seats Roll Bar Carbon Fiber Door Panels New Carpet 4 Speaker Stereo New Fuse Block (Blade Style) Momo Steering Wheel Carbon Fiber Bumper Carbon Fiber Spoiler JDM Fender Mirrors Urethane Air Dam Powder Coated Undercarriage Parts New Windshield Washer Pump Photos:

It has a few small dings and chips from being driven during the summers. There was very minimal surface rust on the passenger floor pan, but it was fixed. Typical with Zcars, there is a wheel shimmy at 50mph I can’t seem to solve, but I have noticed it really depends on the tire pressure. Also, when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear, it has a hard time engaging if the revs are too low.In summary, it’s a low millage pavement ripper that you
can drive daily. Shoot me an email with
any questions or photo requests and I will get back to you ASAP. The car
is located in Minnesota and I can help facilitate shipping. Thanks for looking! |

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
