Up for bid is this great platform for a ground-up restoration of a classic sports car...I bought this car used in 1980 with 40,000 miles on it...It had recently been repainted bright white and a one-piece glass sunroof added...The original color was a sort of royal blue metallic paint...The original interior vinyl was (and still is) white and the carpet, dash, conole, and etc are black...This car has NEVER been wrecked; not even the most minor fender bender...It is 90% original save for the white paint and sunroof...I have the original steel wheels and wheel covers that came on the car (of course they are included in the sale)... I have the original owners manual (sans cover), and the original ignition key...Also have the original jack, lug wrench, and wheel chocks...I replaced the Sanyo aftermarket FM/cassette player that was in it with the proper unit from Datsun... The engine runs fine and is all stock; it has never been mucked with save for necessary repairs, ie. new water pump, radiator, clutch slave cylinder, new injectors, new vacuum line harness, and new coil...The oil and filter was changed about every 2500 miles using Castrol GTX 10W40 and Datsun factory filters...The spark plugs were changed yearly using the proper NGK plugs recommended for the car...Of course the air filter element was changed frequently as well (Datsun factory part)...The biggest problem with the car right now is that the clutch plates are frozen up and the car cannot be moved without starting in gear or towing...Before I parked it I had installed hard urethane bushings throughout the front end and new McPhereson strut cartridges all the way round, as well as new black rubber bumper pieces, so they're not dry rotted and crumbly...It's now wearing some very spiffy Gotti-look faux modular wheels (I never could afford to spring for BBS's...The rear hatch glass was intact a year ago but was the victim of a lawnmower-thrown rock that spiderwebbed the glass and it is now crumbling (boo-hiss!!)...The door handles are stuck and no longer operate from outside, you have to go in through the hatch...there are certainly rust issues but they are mostly surface...The floor pans of, course, are bad and need replaced...This car was garage-kept and babied for the first ten years or so that i had it, but a growing family forced me to use it as a work car...I had always intended to totally restore this car back to "Awesome" status (do any of you remember "Awesome"?), but finances and a place to work always prevented it...It hurts to sell what was once my "pride and joy", but I must!! I'd love to see someone take it that can restore it to its original (or more enhanced) glory...If you have an idea to put the ubiquitous small-block Chevy engine in it, please don't tell me! I couldn't take it! (Besides these cars were built to be BALANCED in all attributes right down to the tire size, aspect, and inflation, and it'll already bark the tires in all four gears!!) For those potential bidders who've seen this add before, the moron who was high bidder last time did not read the instructions or the description or even research how far it is from West Virginia to Fresno, CA (where he lives) and simply reneged on the deal...He's a BAAAADD Ebayer!!

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."

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.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
