1974 Datsun 260 Z "Blank Canvas" I have been working on this car for over a year now. The car is KS titled as an Antique, runs and drives. The car was from Arizona so it had minimal body pan rust that the previous owner cut out and replaced. Not a great job but decent. The motor runs well with good oil pressure and has Factory A/C. I have replaced both the electric and mechanical fuel pumps. The tank was drained and flushed but I put some inexpensive visible filters in line to check for additional dirt. What the car really needs is a few tanks of gas run through it. The clutch master and master cylinder are new. I went through the brakes replacing and upgrading pads, rotors, brake hardware kit and wheel cylinder rebuilds. It has stainless steel lines as well. I replaced all the bushings with urethane and replaced all suspension parts as needed. ( If you have ever attempted this you know how hard the rear A-frames are to do!) I then installed a coil over kit to lower and stiffen the car. It has new KYB struts in back but I recommend replacing all four struts with Koni's or Bilsteins as this car rides hard and rebounds fast. ( With these coil overs this car would be a great candidate for a small block Chevy! they can easily take the extra weight) I replaced all six U joints and fluids in both the transmission and differential  and welded a muffler on as a temporary solution. I bought and installed a Stage 2 body kit. I also have a 280 Grill and lights that go with the car if you choose to go that way. The seats have been reupholstered and new rugs installed. the original interior color was brown but I used fabric paint on the parts that were not replaced in black ( Like the door panels) The dash has a cap. The roof has some hail damage and I am including a sunroof I purchased on line. Unlike most of these on the web this car " has not run in 10 years but ran when I put it away" or "has been in a barn just waiting to be restored" This car runs and drives although the tires should be replaced before driving anywhere. This car will drive into or onto any trailer you bring. That being said, I learned a valuable lesson about using a tow dolly The lowered front spoiler did not like that and got damaged as well as wrinkling both front fenders which I have replaced. I am not a body man and have come to the conclusion that winter is coming and I have 4 cars and a three car garage, Not going to work. That being said I have more that twice the reserve into this car but if it doesn't go I'll store it for the winter and start next year. If you buy this car you are going to save yourself hours of hard labor. The car is being sold locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have less than perfect feedback or under 50 Ebay transactions contact me before bidding or your bid will be rejected. I had my first 240 Z when I was 16. They are great cars but if you need your parents permission to buy please don't bid. Thanks for looking and good luck!

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."

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."
