Laser straight reflections are not easy to do on Datsun sheet metal.

Craigslist Find: RB25DET 240Z Project

Get a head start on your project for next year's JCCS! This car has already had the engine bay painted white and the RB25DET is ready to wired up. The car still needs to have the remainder of the body sanded and prepped for paint as well as assembly. The seller doesn't mention anything about an interior or if any suspension or brake mods have been done. The seller states that there is no title and the car will come with a bill of sale only. We recommend that the next buyer does their due diligence in checking the vin with the DMV. Find it here, in San Fernando, CA, for $4,500.

Craigslist Find: '89 240SX, RB25DET

We really like the shade of Land Rover Green that's coated this car and the green suede accents on the interior could lead to something very nice with a little more work. The RB25 is stock right now and is putting down a very respectable 245hp and 210tq at the wheels. The seller claims that less than 2000 miles have been put on the car, but with out a working speedometer and odometer, there is no way to confirm. We hope that all nuts, bolts, and mounting surface were masked properly when the wrinkle coat was applied to the engine bay, otherwise maintenance could become a headache. This cars looks to have had a solid build and is well worth the asking price of $13,000. Find it here, in Tacoma, WA.

Event: Cars and Coffee, June 2012, Part 4

Cars and Coffee is held at Mazda's North American Operations Center every Sunday and we can't thank them enough for opening their parking lot to avid enthusiasts!

Event: July 2012 Eagle Rock Datsun Show and Swap Meet, Part 2

We're completely convinced that is a you met the human embodiment of a Datsun 510 in a bar, that they would charm the pants right off of ya in five minutes flat.

Carigslist Find: R33 Skyline GTS-T

This was one of the cars we were surprised that we didn't see at the Japanese Classic Car Show. While we can't recommend trying to legalize one of these for street use in the U.S. we can fully support buying one as a track car. Find this one here in the St. Helens area of Oregon for $7500. We really love the shape of the R33 and hope that it will be just a little bit easier to legalize one of these monsters for use on American streets.

Event: Japanese Classic Car Show 2011, Part 3, the Show Continued

It's very unlikely that you'l find another show in the U.S. that not only has multiple KGC10 Skylines but a Toyota 2000GT as well.

Craigslist Find: Rb25DET Powered 240Z

Owning a RB swapped S30 is on our bucket list. This one makes it easy with a great price for what looks like a very complete car. The seller is asking $12,500 and we can't say we've seen a better deal for the epitome of a perfect daily driver Datsun. Find it here on the Los Angeles craigslist.
