I am selling this Z because I purchased it about 2 years ago with the intentions of freshening up the interior and repainting it and re-living the good old days (had one in high-school). It has turned into a bigger project than I have time for since I got married and my priorities have changed. I hate to let it go, and I hate to see it in its current state everyday also. The engine runs fine, but it needs a boost since the battery is dead. The transmission and rear end all worked fine last time I drove it (about a year ago). The paint is very rough but the body is in very good condition. Interior is rough, but is 90% there. The tires are old and will have to be replaced and the brake fluid has leaked down, not sure where. The car felt very road worthy before I parked it, I honestly dont think it will need much more than an interior and a paint job, go through the brakes and a new set of rubber. The previous owner replaced almost everything under the hood trying to get it to run right before i bought it and found the Cylinder Head Temp Switch connection was dirty. I replaced the instrument cluster with an analog model because it came with a digital one that didnt quite work right. I also replaced the harness. The a/c doesnt work/switch modes right, has the fancy automatic kind. I have a spare control unit for this I will include as well as several misc new tune up parts I never got around to installing. I will also include a brand new JVC CD player, still in the box, since I removed the old factory stereo and modified the lower dash for the new one. I will also include brand new Pyle 6x9 Speakers in carpeted enclosures and an 800w amp and 12" sub kit in a carpeted box, all brand new and purchased for this car. I will also include a set of 4 15inch "snowflake" wheels which I bought for the car and never got tires for. I have the title and paperwork transferring it to me and I will provide a bill of sale for you which should be all that is necessary. The car will have to be towed at buyers expense.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, 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.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
