1983 Nissan 280zx Base Coupe 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Russell, Kentucky, United States
|
I am selling this car for a friend. The car is sitting in his backyard. Several years ago, I think 2-3 but possibly longer, he took this to the auto body shop and had some engine work done on it. At that time he was told that, "THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE." Ever since it has sat in his backyard. Therefore, this car is being sold AS-IS, and anyone that wants it will have to bring a truck or trailer and tow or remove it from the yard. Under no circumstance will this car be able to be or be allowed to be driven off the property. 9/7/2013: I've called the autobody shop and they didn't maintain any records as to where the damage or the rusting out to the frame was, so I can't pinpoint that information for prospective buyers. 9/7/2013: The battery on this car was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. I can't tell you whether the engine would start right up without a new battery, and I can't say whether there is gas in the tank--which would be over 3 years old. These are items you will have to resolve upon transporting the car to your location. That said, this was the last year they made the Nissan 280ZX. After 1983, Nissan made the nasty 300ZX, which looked like a cross between a yard Jart and a Mazda. The 280ZX had style and class, and this is what you will be trying to restore back into this car, provided the frame can be replaced and/or repaired. Like is said, this is a strip it down and rebuild it to its former glory kind of project. 9/7/2013: The passenger side front fender is rusted, as pictured, but this car comes with a replacement fender from the owner's last attempt to revitalize the car (see photo). These are not easy to come by on this 30-year old car, and not cheap either. Guaranteed to have a clear title, or if necessary a rebuild or salvage title. The person I am selling this for is a local official, so you will leave with the car and title--or not at all. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO GO DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE AND EXCHANGE TITLE, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE WITH THE CAR. No taking care of it later. Please contact me with any questions. I live about 5 minutes from the car. Please review the pictures. They are fairly representative, although they were taken a season ago. Contact for updated pictures and information, and if you are in the area, then by al means please feel free to make an appointment with me to see the car in person--I highly recommend it. I will update the auction with as much information as I can, as it becomes available to me. |

Bret Michaels Poisons Nissan's commercial trucking ops
Thu, 31 Jul 2014Mötley Crüe isn't the only 1980s hair-metal band getting into the world of auto promotion. Poison frontman and reality show star Bret Michaels is following their lead and doing some advertising of his own. Where the Crüe have been all over the airwaves in recent years with a Super Bowl ad for Kia and music licensing with Dodge, Michaels has taken a very different route by becoming the pitchman for Nissan Commercial Vehicles.
The videos run the gamut to advertise predominantly the NV line of full-size vans, but the NV200 shows up a few times too. The star of this new campaign is Michaels' full-length music video (above) for the song Tough Love. It's basically a parody of all of those '80s rock ballads where the bands would slow the tempo down a little and reveal their softer side. Michaels rocks out at the Nissan proving grounds in Stanfield, AZ, while showing off the evaluation process and strutting around like a proper rock frontman. There are also a bunch of shorter videos (below) with the singer highlighting each part of the vans' torture testing. Although, the dialogue in these come off a bit more stilted. With these '80s metal bands getting into advertising, can it be long before Warrant is shilling for Fiat or Ratt for Mazda?
2015 Nissan Pulsar and Pulsar Nismo Concept show Jekyll and Hyde for the hatch
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Nissan is showing two very different sides of its new Pulsar five-door hatchback (on the right) at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. On one hand you get to see the standard version hoping to take the fight to popular European models like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, but also on the stage is our first glimpse at the Pulsar Nismo Concept (above) that demonstrates the vehicle's more devilish side.
The standard Pulsar is hoping to make a dent in the Euro C-segment ranks. It rides on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai crossover and is actually about 2.4-inches longer than the Golf. Power comes from a trio of choices. There are 1.2-liter and 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engines with 113 horsepower and 187 hp, respectively, and a 1.5-liter diesel with 108 hp. CVTs are offered with them all. The Pulsar is also available with a variety of safety tech, including forward emergency braking, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.
However, the real excitement comes from the new Nismo Concept. Nissan is clear that it's "only a design study at this stage," but the sporty hatch imagines a flagship for the Pulsar range. It gets the full suite of Nismo goodies with a suspension dropped to the floor and sharper steering. The exterior also benefits from big air intakes in the front bumper, a rear diffuser with central exhausts, flared fenders and carbon fiber trim pieces. The whole thing is finished in satin gray with the division's traditional red trim. The interior has the same motif with race seats and a three-spoke steering wheel.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
