We’ve featured a Triumph TR7 before -and it had the Triumph engine removed and replaced with a V6 engine. We assumed it was just an anomaly – someone with a busted TR7 and spare V6 sitting around…but apparently it’s more commonplace than we thought! This 1980 Triumph TR7 with Nissan turbo V6 is for sale in […]
The Datsun 510 is a classic of the compact, lightweight RWD Japanese car formula. Their boxy good looks have stood the test of time better than most other Datsuns from the same time period, and if you like the 510 sedan’s style, the wagon will help you think even more inside the box. Heck, with […]
The 4th generation Nissan Z was the premium sports car descendant of the classic 240Z from Nissan. It was doomed to extinction in the late ’90s when the Yen to Dollar exchange rate kept rising and the MSRP rose to over $50k USD. Today they are still a benchmark for Japanese turbocharged performance and are […]
The previous Nissan 240sx with a V8 engine swap featured on daily turismo was a bit of a hack job. However – the Nissan S13 platform is well known for being durable and the stock truck based KA24 engine is often ditched for something more powerful. This 1990 240sx has an LS1 V8 swap and […]
The Nissan Silvia S12 generation was sold in the US from 1984 to 1988 badged as the 200SX. It looked like a typical Japanese econobox, but it had some of the right stuff: rear wheel drive, available turbo engines and manual transmissions. This 1988 Nissan 200SX is offered on craiglist for $2650 in Greenfield, IN. […]
The Nissan Z car was originally a simple sports car with a small naturally aspirated inline 6 and lithe handling. As previously noted by the daily turismo the Z pulled a bit of an ‘Elvis’ and the 300ZX marked the peak of the double chin and sequined cape. This 1994 300ZX is located in Peekskill, […]
The Nissan 240sx is a favorite of drifters and lunatics; loved for its rear drive layout and ability to accept power adders without grenading. This 1993 240sx doesn’t need any turbochargers because its engine has been replaced by a Chevy V8 mated to a slushbox (but it comes with a t-5 manual ready to be […]
The Nissan Z was introduced in 1969 as a lightweight, simple sports car (the 240Z)- not a rocket in a straight line, but excellent in the curves. Unfortunately the Z car aged like Elvis – by the 1996 300ZX, it was fat, bloated, sporting tremendous sideburns and giant gold sunglasses – a far cry from […]
