1978 DATSUN 280Z PEARL BLACK SPECIAL EDITION This is a TRUE 1978 280Z Pearl Black Special Edition. [Paint Code 638]. One of the rarest of the early Z's. Only between 850 and 1200 of these cars were made. This is an Automatic making it even more rare. With the KY title reading 70,138 and The odometer reading a little over 71,000; it should be considered a collectors car. Not perfect and not a show car yet, but with a little more work she would be. WATCH THIS VIDEO OF MY CAR AND THERE ARE OVER 80 PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ADD VIA PHOTO BUCKET. Body: -No accident damage anywhere, . -Body seams are good. -Car has been painted three times. It was silver when I purchased it. Sanded and returned to original Pearl Black. The paint work is mediocre, 6.5 out of 10. No dirt or fisheyes in the paint. But the shop left scratch marks in the primer on the top. Left some small dings, and has some dry spray along bottom. There is one “heat blister” on the top about the size of a penny. Tried to photo these but they are very hard to capture. Even with these imperfections the car remains beautiful and receives compliments virtually every time I drive her. -All trim items are good. -All glass is nice, new rubber seals around doors and windshield and hatch . -Original bumpers replaced with MSA Type 2 air dam with bumper trim. Rear shaved. Looks very nice. Mechanical: -Car drives good. Holds the road good. No bad habits. Tires could be re-balanced. - The R/T racing Differential mount KYB Struts and polyurethane bushings take away the light toss-able feel in the rear. You can really drive this car fast and confidently with very little effort. -Power brakes work great. -Engine starts on the first crank. Idles quietly at 850rpm, and runs very strong, revs smoothly to redline. Has a small exhaust leak you can hear when cold, but diminishes when warmer. - Automatic shifts smoothly. - 15x8 XXR Black Chromium Racing Wheels, with New Kumho 225/50 Tires. -Dash gauges all work fine. -All lights exterior and interior work fine. -Came with Factory AC, but compressor failed and was removed by previous owner. All the other pieces appear to be there. -Horn does not work.
INTERIOR: -Interior is mostly original and in good condition. -New Seats and Carpet. Seats are from England with Embroided Z emblem and white stitch -Dash looks good. Has been resurfaced in the past, and has developed some small cracks. The car is currently Garage kept -Headliner is great. -Original retractable seat/shoulder belts in good shape. - Pyle Classic Radio, looks close to original. Has usb and sd card slot. The power antenna works fine. -Blower and heater work fine. - Comes with Warranty card and Owners manual. Clear Kentucky Title reading 70,000 miles -Original Z spare in trunk, has original tools and jack in bin behind seat. -Comes with KY Tags, and 2 keys.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE UPGRADES: Suspension is completely overhauled with New KYB struts and polyurethane bushings. Rear polyurethane differential bushings, and a R/T Racing differential mount. The Car has been lowered, and sits on 15x8 XXR racing wheels, and 225/50 Kuhmo tires. New Rack and Pinion, New tie rods, ball joints, torque bushings,...etc. Handles like it is on rails. Brakes have been upgraded to 4 piston calibers, 15/16 Master Cylinder, and larger brake booster. STOPS perfectly, braking is far better than factory. Engine has racing header, 2.5" performance exhaust and cold air intake. The starter, alternator, air regulator, oil pressure switch, and fuel pump have all recently been replaced. Fuel Injection wiring harness rebuilt with new ends, and the engine has just recently received a complete tune up. FLOOR BOARDS, FRAME RAILS LOOK GOOD. BATTERY AREA LOOKS GOOD. SOLID CAR.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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 Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If 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."
