This is a 1975 Datsun 280Z 4-speed project car. I've been working on getting this car streetable for months and simply don't have time for it anymore. I replaced the fuel pump, filter, injectors, and spark plug wires so the engine runs well. I also installed brand new brake and clutch master cylinders, as well as a new clutch slave cylinder and all new brake/clutch hoses and rebuilt the brake calipers and wheel cylinders. Goes down the road real nice. 

I started replacing interior and weatherstripping but haven't finished. Windshield and rear window were removed, cleaned up, and put back in with new rubber, as well as the quarter windows. The dash was removed, cleaned up, had new gauge bulbs installed, and I cleaned up the blower motor and heater core and had new water and vent hoses installed before putting the dash back in with a brand new full-face dash cap from MSA. Not much else pertaining to interior and rubber have been replaced yet, but the interior has been removed in preparation for the new stuff so there's still some work to be done. Car comes with over $1000 of new interior and rubber weatherstripping.

Body is good and straight. There's minor surface rust but nothing big. There are a couple of small dents but no damage beyond that. Paint has held up okay over the years, but if you want to paint it there's minimal bodywork to be done.

In addition to what's shown in the pictures I also have the taillights which I pulled apart to start prepping for paint, great-condition door panels, the original plastic interior pieces, new carpet, new headliner, and new weatherstripping.

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.

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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
