This Datsun is not and was never intended to be built as a restoration project. This car was never intended to be built and brought back to stock formation. The whole idea of this car was to make a cool looking, cool sounding, fast street car that could be enjoyed in all driving conditions. Though the list of "negatives" are higher, be known its all smaller stuff. This car as is, right now, is a complete turn key car. The car doesn't leak, smoke, or make any weird noises from the motor or transmission. You turn the key, and it starts right up, idles fine on its own and will drive down the street. All the lights, blinkers, horn, gauges, wipers, radio and interior climate fan work as should. The motor pulls strong and the Transmission shifts smooth. The clutch grabs firm, yet easy to handle. The car brakes just fine and steers straight.
mods are as follow: Suspension: Struts with coil-over sleeves. Poly bushings here and there (not complete set). Drive-Line: OBD2 Lt1 with T56 trans. GM "hot cam" performance kit electric water pump big aluminum Rad with multi-speed fan. Vortech V2 supercharger with Vortech Water to air Inter-cooler. Crane digital ignition system with on the fly timing control dial. 300zx LSD diff and axles. Brakes wheels: Sparco lightweight 17" wheels Wilwood stage 3 kit: floating rotors and 4 piston calipers on all 4 corners 5-lug conversion. Please call with any serious questions, I will be happy to answer as much as possible!(704-756-2146) For reference, I did NOT build this car. An older gentleman did, and he has passed away. Therefore, I do NOT have every ounce of knowledge about this Datsun. Video of a cold start can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW-pLTpLzq4 |

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
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.
