I started going through this to make it a show car, but still use as a daily driver. The 4 speed tranny was swapped for a 5 speed manual out of a 280ZX and the motor was torn down, inspected, and refreshed with new rings, and gasket set. The flat top carbs were replaced with round top SU carbs. New Tokico struts and springs, along with polyurethane bushings throughout the suspension, and the Z handles great. The Toyota four piston calipers with 300 ZX rotors up front, and 280ZX disc brakes in back, stop the car with no problems. The brake booster has started making a hissing noise, so it will need replaced. Also, the clutch has started slipping at high speed, as in passing or pulling a hill. the engine bay was painted while the engine was out, and it is red instead of the original Kelly green. The car needs paint, carpet, dash pad, to be complete. And i would change the gaskets out on all door, hatch, and glass. New wheels and tires would make this really sharp. The floors are solid. the rockers and wheel wells look great. There is some rust in the rear hatch. Pictures show the damage. I am the third owner of this Z. I found that the Datsun roadsters were much more suited for me, and lost interest in finishing this car. The motor starts right up, and runs smooth. A Magna Flo exhaust gives it a nice growl, but not too loud. There is also a headlight relay set up to run higher wattage headlights without harming the headlight switch or wiring. I can provide a video of the engine running if you would like to hear it. Please email me for that and I will be glad to send it. I have receipts for all parts and work and will furnish them to the buyer. The tach does not work, but engine temp, and oil pressure gauge does, and all is good with that. The seats will need to be recovered also.

With a 67 1600 Datsun convertible and a 1967 Nissan Patrol, the wife says something must go, and i have set the reserve for HALF of what i have invested in this car. Someone who can take this and finish it will have a really nice car and most of the mods are done, so you are way ahead and getting it priced right. good luck and please email me with any questions. A $500 pay pal deposit must be made within 24 hours of auction close. The balance must be paid within two weeks. If paying by check it must clear my bank before title and car can be picked up. I will be happy to work with the shipper, but buyer is responsible to arrange and pay all shipping fees. The car can be stored here for up to two months to give you time to arrange shipping.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
