1982 DATSUN 280 ZX TURBO PROJECT CAR. Vehicle body is in really nice, solid shape. Interior is fair to good. Vehicle currently does NOT run. It was running, but poorly, with a lack of power. We had vehicle in our shop and determined it has an engine timing issue. The timing chain is not properly installed (off a couple teeth on the gears) We were able to make vehicle run for a few minutes by turning distributor, but it is too far out to correct by moving the distributor alone. Transmission and brakes on car are good. When vehicle was running, it was apparent the turbo was spooling up and working. Engine wiring harness was replaced with one from a donor car, along with the computer, and airflow meter. Would make a nice project for someone with mechanical ability and knowledge. Also might be good for an engine swap, v-8 project. Tires are Kumho with better than half tread. Wheels are Koenig aluminum and in good shape. Many extra parts are included with this car such as: steering wheel, turn signal switch, hood insert, other trim, etc. Car must be trailered. Have clean title in hand. No international bidders please. Deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Please do not bid if you have negative or zero feedback. Terms of sale are cashiers check, or cash in person. Vehicle will not be released nor title transferred until check clears. Thanks and good luck bidding!!.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
