It's hard for me to do this, but I'm offering up for sale my Datsun 1983 280ZX TURBO by Nissan (has both Datsun and Nissan badging).  My father bought this back in the '90's and then gifted it to me a few years later.  It's been loved for a long time and is a ton of fun, but sometimes we have to give up our fun.  I'm in the military and deploy often so I do not have to time to tinker with my baby and be the father and husband I need to be.  That said, about the car:

Starts and runs well.  This engine could take a bullet and keep going.  The five speed transmission shifts well and the turbo spools and the engine pulls hard.  With the tops off on a sunny day, this car is a dream to drive.  It regularly turns heads and always gets comments in the drive-thru, parking lot, and gas station.  Even at stop lights.  These sporty cars are getting harder and harder to find and everybody loves them.  There is a ding above the left rear fender (my dad recently did that...painful, but it was fair retribution for when I scratched his '77 280z when I was a teenager) and some minor rust with some paint blistering (see pics).  There are a couple scuffs on the passenger seat leather with the driver's seat in good condition.  Has rubber floor mats.  Has an occasional electric gremlin causing the car to idle rough until it warms up.  If you have ANY questions, please ask and I'll do my absolute best to answer.  This car is worth far more than the opening bid with no reserve, but it's priced for a quick sale.

If you're looking for a stylish commuter or fun toy, this is a great option.  Happy Bidding:)

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:

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

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.
