Let me start off by giving you a little background on the 280z.This was the last incarnation of the first generation S30 body style. It featured an engine displacement enlargement of 2.8 L from the 2.6L in the 260z . A major change was the introduction of Bosch fuel injection, replacing the previous SU carburetors. This resulted in a power increase to 170 hp (127 kW), offsetting increased weight from added luxury features and an enlarged bumper that met US Federal regulations. 1977 and 1978 models received bumpers with recessed channels added to the faces of the bumpers themselves, that blended into corrugated or accordion style black rubber extension trim. Also new for the 1977 model year, 280Zs no longer received the full size spare tire, and instead had a "space saver" spare and a larger fuel tank.The 1977 was the last year was of the 280z and was replaced in 1978 by the 280zx.

I have owned this z for about 2 weeks. I bought this car as a surprise early graduation gift for my 6 foot 7 inch son, unfortunately he doesn't fit well into it and i need to sell this beauty. I bought it from the 2nd owner who owned it for about 10 years and bought it from the original owner as a mid life crisis vehicle. He babied and took care of this vehicle the entire time he owned it. He only put about 2k miles on it the entire time he owned it and drove it only when it was nice outside.He took off the rear window louvers off the car because he didn't like the way they looked.

this 280z has been an oregon car its whole life.It has the rare optional 5 speed transmission, a/c, and sunroof. I have been unable to find any rust on this car beside the small spot of surface rust about the size of a quarter on the front bumper. This car runs and drives excellent. the paint is in great condition.this vehicle still has the original space saver spare tire and air inflator.

The only thing wrong with the car is that it needs some windshield wiper motors as they are not working at the moment. The vehicle comes with an extra door handle,rear window louvers, fuel pump and a couple of manuals for the car.If you are worried about appearances then you may want to recover the drivers seat and put in a new carpet kit.the reason for those things is because the carpet in the rear of car is ripped in spots and the drivers seat has a few tears. if you are looking for a great looking and driving car for the summer or a perfect car for the graduate in your life this is the one you are looking for. for more information please call 5032009906

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.

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.
