Pristine Condition - Engine, Interior and Exterior, 100% stock, No Modifications

I purchased the Z from the original owner in Modesto, CA (the last photo in listing is a photo of the original owner).  This is my first classic sports car and it has been one of the most fun, reliable vehicles I have owned.  I've driven it 2-3 times a week since I've owned it, turn-key and reliable  The timing belt, battery and all hoses were changed by the original owner, A/C blows cold with K&N Air filter.  The only upgrade I added were the headlight covers and replaced the headliner which is a brand new grey headliner to match the original, I also had the Z oil changed about 2 weeks ago with Mobile One Full Synthetic 10/30 doesn't need to be changed for 5K miles.  This Z runs and handles better than any car I have owned.  The Turbo gauge kicks in and the car performs just as you want on the freeway.  The Z takes 87 unleaded gas, which I get only at Chevron or Shell.  Under the T-Top is DynoPad installation so the car stays cool.  The photos don't lie, this car is truly a beauty.  Recently, I had it at a car show, and one of the judges said for the car to be all stock original, its one of the best examples of an 1981 he has ever seen and if there was a Datsun or Nissan classic category for its originality and condition, I would have won best of show hands down.  From the attention you get while driving, you would think you are driving a new corvette or audi, it gets that much attention.

Also included are the t-top bags under the rear mat as well as one of the original California license plates, the original owner said the other plate fell off the car when he owned it.  The Z passed CA smog test and is registered through May 24, 2015.  Comes with Chilton's Datsun Z and ZX Shop Repair Manual from 1970-1982 and original receipts and paper work from original owner.  Tires are brand new with only 5,000 miles on them (4) 215/60R-15 Defender $159 per tire with tubeless valve stems and wheel balance, total cost 762.87 installed and purchased at Les Schwab.  

  • Datsun Specs:  2.8L V6, 180HP, 0-60 in 7.4 seconds.  

I am listing the car locally, so if it sells I will remove the ad from Ebay. 
Any questions feel free to message me and if you have 0 feedback, please do not bid.
Be the lucky one and buy this car!

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.

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.

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:
