tumminello123 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I want a Datsun and have this for a trade: 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition 5 year/100,000 mile warranty acquired from http://www.stoprepairbills.com/ 129,000 miles, but it's my daily driver so it will go up BRAND NEW (2 weeks old) sailcloth soft top w/tinted rear and side windows---tan color. This top is a 2002 model (the good one) 6" suspension lift kit from ProComp (I did not install, but it looks nice) I recently added a navigation system built into dash but not pictured (It is actually still brand new in the box. I will install it when I have time) New platinum spark plugs New brake pads from O'Reilly auto parts Aftermarket Aqua neoprene seats front and rear (Not covers, brand new replacement seats) Tires are 33 X 12.5 X 15 with about 8,000 miles tread life Please make an offer of what you have. I am eager to trade and can drive a fairly far distance to trade as long as it's a weekend and your car can get me back home because I will drive it back. I have a preference for Right Hand Drive, but will listen to all offers. Old Datsun trucks are cool especially. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Most RHD are JDM imports and are much newer Nissans too. Skylines, 300zx etc. Check the E bay or Craigslists for them. You don't say much about what you are looking for. Why do you want a Datsun? Link to comment
tumminello123 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I was not looking for anything in particular, and I do not NEED a RHD, but it would be a nice bonus. I have owned two Datsun/Nissans and I liked both. I had a 1983 280ZX that talked and it was wicked cool. I also had a 1965 Datsun 1600 Roadster that was too cool and it was rather quick for its age. They both had pretty good reliability and I kind of miss it. I would just be happy with a really nice Jap car. I have never had an American car until this Jeep and I do not dislike it, but it just feels weird for me. My FJ40 was a much more comfortable fit. Maybe I'm just not built to own American.

Skib Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) finding a RHD 240Z (Fairlady Z) isnt easy, much less one you can drive home. Iv only seen a small handful of true RHD Fairlady Z's and the rest are conversions. The Jeep prob woulnt get you a nice Fairlady Z but it might get you a nice 240Z you pretty much have 3 options for getting a RHD Fairlady Z in the US... 1. scour the country for someone who is actually willing to give up there project (bring a trailer) 2. import it from JP or AUS ect. 3. do a RHD conversion on an American car (import a RHD front clip) if you find one you will either... A. need a good amount of mechanical and metal working skills (and a good budget) or B. very deep pockets (to pay someone with skill) no matter what a nice RHD Fairlady Z isnt going to be cheap or easy...

yellowdatsun Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 About your comment on the "fit", I have owned a lot of cars, both American and Japanese, and I rent cars weekly due to the type of work I do. It seems that the Japanese had figured out correct ergonomics for cars many decades ago, IE: my 85 RX7 had the best "feel" of any car I've owned. Yet the American designers still can't figure it out, the Mercury Sable I rented last week had really weird pedal-to-steering wheel placement making for an uncomfortable week. Link to comment
izzo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 i think he just put RHD on there for an option he is open to trade for :D I hope someone does trade you a datsun for that jeep, hell id love to have a jeep! they are fun as hell. Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) youv never driven a Z ;) WORD! and some still cant figure out why lol i mean i can see wanting a z but i could never trade somthing i had worked on for so long Threadjack........ lol...I was in love with my Z from the minute I sat in her. :love: That is the only reason I traded my 620 for the Zcar. Don't you remember? I posted a long time ago that I wanted to trade her for a zcar (I was told it would never happen). I would have never let the 620 go unless it was the right thing to do. Check out what I have done to my z car in less than 3 months......She will go way farther and the 620 ever did. ;) end threadjack.... My appologies tumminello123. Your Jeep is awesome and I hope you get a Zcar!! Edited September 2, 2009 by Phlebmaster Link to comment
