California Original, One Owner, Datsun Nissan Original Miles, Like New on 2040-cars
Encinitas, California, United States
First things first, what a nice little Southern California
truck. It has been in Southern California all its life ecept when it was pulled
behind a motor home. The bed has some scratches but is not all beat up. The
original paint is a little thin in places but still shines. The interior is
near perfect. The bad, someone put in an aftermarket radio and CD player. Seats
are original and near perfect. The windshield wiper handle is missing [broken
off]. It sports the original California license plates which go with the car
and if you live in California they are good til summer. These plates were put
on the car in 1983, WOW. It has an original chrome bumper with ball hitch. The
inner fenders are like new. The only rust on the truck is in an unlikely place.
I think something fell on it in 1983 and the hood and windshield wiper housing
was replaced and repainted. Look at the pictures. That is the only way I think
that the rust would show up there. The cap is original and in good not great
shape. The screens have some holes and the fiberglass looks funky. It has a
sliding cab window. The truck runs and drives great. It drives straight and
does not wander all over the road. All glass is good and not cracked.
Windshield is great too, no streakes. Southern California so no rain here. The
one thing that I think it may need in the next 10,000 miles or more is a
clutch. That said if you live on the East coast, fly in and drive it back. It
is that nice and dependable. On Feb-28-14 at 19:06:37 PST, seller added the following information: I JUST NOTICED THAT I USED A HEADING FROM ANOTHER TRUCK, THIS IS NOT A ONE OWNER TRUCK, I BELIEVE IT IS TWO OWNER |

GT-R takes on Altima V8 Supercar and Leaf Nismo in Nissan time attack special
Fri, 14 Mar 2014One of the support races for the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar race in Australia was a Nissan showcase in the form of a time attack challenge: at the starting line were the Nissan Leaf Nismo RC, a GT-R and an Altima V8 Supercar. The 80-kilowatt Leaf Nismo RC was given a seven-second head start on the 545-horsepower GT-R and a 26-second lead on the 600-hp Altima V8 Supercar in hopes that it could get around the 3.21-kilometer course first.
Nissan's not afraid to burn the Leaf Nismo RC's rubber at the track, recently letting video series Translogic hit the kerbs, and it's put it up against some competition, having raced a Tesla Roadster - and lost. The odds were a bit better this time, but it wasn't the finish the hosts expected. Now a race commentator, the driver in the GT-R, Neil Crompton, finished on the podium of the Toohey's 1000 race in an R32 GT-R in 1992.
You can watch the hard-fought time attack in the video below. Skip ahead to 3:43 if you just want the action, but Crompton's recap of every driver interview ever is worth a watch at 2:41.
Nissan had to re-edit this commercial two times to placate Aussie ad watchdog [w/poll]
Fri, 02 Aug 2013Nissan recently aired a commercial in Australia for its Pulsar SSS hatchback - think of it as a five-door relative of our Sentra - in which a couple is seen hastily making their way to the hospital ahead of giving birth. But the ad you can watch now isn't the same ad that aired originally - in fact, Nissan had to re-edit the commercial twice before the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) would accept it.
According to Go Auto, the original ad received complaints that it depicted unsafe and reckless driving, including speeding, following cars too closely and screeching to a halt upon arriving at the hospital. One of the complaints reportedly read: "The advertisement promotes driving behavior (rapid acceleration/deceleration/changes of direction) that is counter to sound medical advice regarding the carriage of heavily pregnant women in motor vehicles."
In the first edit, Nissan lowered the vehicle's engine noise, removed the woman's speech urging the man to drive faster ("Go, go, go!") and inserted a disclaimer that read "Filmed under controlled conditions," according to Go Auto, but all of that still wasn't enough to appease the ASB.
Why Japan's government is looking to curb its adorable kei car market
Tue, Jun 10 2014Each region around the world has its stereotypical vehicle. The US has the pickup and Europe the five-door hatchback; but in Japan, the kei car reigns supreme. These tiny cars are limited to just 660cc of displacement but they've also come with lower taxes to make them more affordable. To make of the most of their small size, they've often had quite boxy styling like the Honda N-One shown above, and because they're Japanese, they've often had quirky names like the Nissan Dayz Roox. However, if the Japanese government has its way, the future popularity of these little guys might be in jeopardy. The problem facing them is that Japan is an island both literally and figuratively. After World War II, the Japanese government created the class as a way to make car ownership more accessible. The tiny engines generally meant better fuel economy to deal with the nation's expensive gas, and the tax benefits also helped. It's made the segment hugely popular even today, with kei cars making up roughly 40 percent of the nation's new cars sales last year, according to The New York Times. The downside is that these models are almost never exported because they aren't as attractive to buyers elsewhere (if indeed they even meet overseas regulations). So if an automaker ends up with a popular kei model, it can't really market it elsewhere. The government now sees that as a threat to the domestic auto industry. It believes that every yen invested into kei development is wasted, and the production takes up needed capacity at auto factories. The state would much rather automakers create exportable models. To do this, it's trying to make the little cars less attractive to buy, and thus, less attractive to build. The authorities recently increased taxes on kei cars by 50 percent to narrow the difference between standard cars, according to the NYT. If kei cars do lose popularity, it could open the market up to greater competition from foreign automakers. Several companies complained about the little cars stranglehold on the Japanese market last year, but since then, imported car sales there have shown some growth thanks to the improving economy.
