Saint Johns, Florida, United States

 This is a authentic original 1980 Datsun 10th Anniversary Edition. I am the third owner. The car is located in Jacksonville FLA.

General Condition: The vehicle is a Nissan with 55k on the clock. The body and frame are rust free with no signs of any accident damage. This is a numbers matching original car. The engine, transmission and differential are all solid. A compression check on the engine shows all cylinders have very good compression. Car is original except for a cold air intake and the exhaust system was replaced from the catalytic converter back. Interior is in good shape with expected wear and aging. All gauges and the AC work. The weather stripping is in good condition. Wheels are the original alloy wheels in good shape. The suspension has been redone with Tokico blue HP shocks and struts and the front coil springs have been replaced. All the glass on the car is good with no cracks or dings. I have the original air box.

There are no cracks in the dash. The carpets are in good shape. It appears that the vehicle was mostly garaged kept and shows it.

Problem Areas: The paint on the car shows expected aging with minor nicks and dings. The black paint on the bright work is pealing off in places. The passenger door had some surface rust on a paint seam and was treated with POR 15. It is a older average paint job showing its age. The drivers seat is showing expected wear on the bolsters and could use a few new panels. As with all Zcars the vinyl is peeling off some of the panels in the rear of the car.

The radio works but the cassette deck needs new drive belts. The cruise control does not seem to work. Also the antenna does not fully retract. The electronic "warning system" is not working properly and I have a replacement.

Documentation: I have the original owners manual, service manual and the literature from Nissan regarding the 10th Anniversary club. Service history on the car is fairly complete except for routine maintenance.

Spare Parts: I have the following parts for the car. I set of brake rotors for the front. A new set of brake lines. A set of belts (fan belts). A replacement warning system module. Complete set of emblems and decals for the exterior of the car. A spare ECU (computer). Also I have a set of four Toyo Proxies 215/60/14 tires that are negotiable.

Summary: This is a nice solid honest car that has not been crashed, rusted out or heavily modified. Please look at the images of the vehicle in regards to its condition.

This vehicle is for sale outside of eBay and the auction may be ended. If you have a poor rating or a zero history please contact me when bidding or your bid may be remove.

There is no warranty for this vehicle.

Shipping will be at  buyers expense and I will do what I can to help in that area.

The car is very drivable but please keep in mind that this is a 35 year old car that has been driven only about a thousand miles a year.

If you have any questions please ask prior to bidding.

2014 Nissan 370Z pricing announced, MSRP reduced by $3,000

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Nissan is up to something. The company announced pricing for the 2014 Nissan 370Z, 370Z Nismo, and 370Z Roadster, which isn't out of the ordinary. What is, is that the standard, hardtop 370Z has received a $3,130 reduction in price for 2014. The upmarket Touring model, meanwhile, has been dropped $2,550.
That means, excluding the $790 for destination and handling, a base, six-speed manual 370Z is only $29,990. That is an excellent deal. Adding an automatic will bump the price to $31,290, while the Touring model starts at $35,270 for DIY shifters and $36,570 for autos. The top-of-the-range Nismo runs $43,020. The Roadster, meanwhile, starts at $41,470.
So what does this mean in the grand scheme? Automakers don't just slash $3,000 off the price of a desirable sportscar because they're feeling generous.Could this be a move to clear out stock before a replacement to the current Z arrives?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Nissan Safari police truck a sort of A-Team van from Japan

Wed, 28 May 2014

Television today might be at one the best points in the medium's history with shows like Mad Men, Louie, True Detective and streaming offerings like House of Cards. However, none of those come close to the number of car chases and explosions of '70s and '80s offerings like Charlie's Angels, The A-Team or The Dukes of Hazard. Apparently, this prevalence of action at the time wasn't just an American phenomenon. In Japan, a show called Seibu Keisatsu fulfilled the nation's need for shootouts and stunts.
Nissan was a major sponsor of the show, and therefore the brand's vehicles were used extensively, including a highly modified Nissan Safari SUV (also known as the Nissan Patrol), pictured above. In the show's lore, it was equipped with radar, a camera and a fire extinguisher capable of turning over a car. The series ran 236 episodes from 1979 to 1984, and with the trailer below as indication, that allowed time for plenty of car jumps and explosions.
The entire Seibu Keisatsu series is now coming out in Japan on DVD and Blu-Ray packed in a fake gun case. The trailer below shows off some of the action of the series. It all starts out normal enough, but about a minute into the video there are all sorts of Nissans jumping and crashing. Plus, there is a guy on fire in a shootout. This show looks like some seriously cheesy fun. Scroll down to get a taste of it.
