1981 Datsun 280zx Coupe 5300 Mile Mint Original As-new on 2040-cars
United States
|
Recently discovered still in possession of the orignal owner, ths 280ZX has to be one of the finest unmolested original examples in existence. Authentic documented 5300 miles from new and perfect storage conditions over the cars 33 year life result in this time capsule find. A very recent total service has just been completed and this runs, drives and performs as good as it looks. Still riding on the orignal raised white letter Bridgestone tires that show minimal wear from their 5300 miles of use. This car was always covered in a climate controlled environment so all of the rubber and plastic trim has no damage or deterioration whatsoever. The leather is soft and supple showing no wear or damage and absolutely has no dye work ever done. Carpets are flawless. Dash pad, switch gear, console controls and steering wheel appear as brand new. All Weatherstripping is pliable and shows no age deterioration. Every single gauge, light, accessory and option operate properly as you would expect. The cars mechanical condition is commensurate with the cosmetics. It runs smooth and quiet, good performance, no leaks or other issues are present, Gearbox and clutch operate properly and brakes are fully functional. We would advise caution for excessive speed on the original 33 year old tires but they appear fine and were off the ground in the cars long term storage. The chassis componentry and underhood pictures should demonstrate how well this car was cared for over the years. Very dry storage prevented any oxidation of all of the aluminum and plated pieces and as you see the car appears both underhood and underside to be a near brand new car. There are absolutly zero modifications from factory build on this car. It is 100% bone stock original.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The 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.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
