Datsun 1979 model introduced in the beginning of the meeting is a joke, these cars, not the marketing philosophy of the Japanese company with massive regeneration, buick, the Buick would compete head to head with BMW was due and whether the value of the dollar against the yen. Datsun, Buick-style cars, is not going to build; I would recommend weight Watcher compact models in the price of the Buick.
However, the new 280-ZX coupe use such completely Nissan's market re-positioning presupposes, and already makes me think it's the appropriate fix. New z-Wed (ZX-Wed?), Extremely biased against the direction of luxury of life. The old version than longer, lower and wider. More quiet and vibration-free; Under ride for mashed potatoes has been calibrated; and only the joy of any package that offers the option list to play with the device and itches. Once an athlete is weak in an attractive way, which is a two-seater and 2 + 2 in the marketplace takes place, completely different than the Buick you can expect from non-personal, which is a plush Cruiser, the Avenue has become.
All this, presumably in terms of Marketing, almost a hit with fans-from the trials makes sense. Once the state of Datsun is almost entirely closed-roof sports car over the last few years in the business became a hot air cushion. Porsche 924 now sleek and agile handling and driver involvement with a car on the price is of great importance that occupies the highest point of the middle class. Mazda, agility and winning friends all over with sparkling performance two-seat RX-7 with the price range from the bottom of the sticks. TR7 in England was brought in because of problems with the working directory temporarily, but the performance of V8 power which will determine the first class tr8 bringing with him the full force of the spring. Datsun to and what would you do? Unfamiliar space, comfort and luxury slots. The old Z-Wed and product planners apparently she made some more of their competitors always in that direction, and decided to target the tour refresh.
The term "modification" is being used here deliberately because the new ZX is actually a completely new car. Z-comb in the tunnels far, the vacuum and a large, multi-cell visual properties with only a small recalibrate and maintain some of the headlights drivetrain is moving the body, but the chassis is completely different. Change the largest size has a width of 2.3 inches wide and an extra inch gauge brand new car in general (more with the optional Alloy Wheels) creates. Wheelbase has increased by 0.6 inches, and the new model lasted quite long though an inch less than the actual increase. Here's the thing, apparently, is longer than the sheet metal, but let hang over the Far edge of the bumper, and with so little real change is to obtain a taller appearance. Some similar optical illusion must influence although it may seem low because the height of the new model, the company's properties and 51.0 inches respectively ZX Z lists. But even these relatively small changes in certain areas is of great importance. Head of the Department competition, Dick Roberts, I was very pleased with the new body shape I really. Generally the wider The width of the vehicle is smaller Fender that would allow the racers to dock with flame he observed. This, coupled with a more steeply sloped windshield, Datsun race in the GTU's most prominent high-speed will go a long way to eliminate the deficit.
The street value of the new shape is less clear. In the profile ZX, Ferrari Daytona brings to mind. The old Z-car's fastback quite quickly fell, and the new car and high tail more shallow the angle the ceiling of the long, unattractive nose, combined with a similar silhouette Ferrari gives him clearly. Again, the z side-by-side, ZX doesn't seem sorry or obsolete. Short of the old vehicle, instead of a functional view provided that it does not put a truncated tail. Probably the most extreme points at which the car is newer than ZX series, which can be seen in the clear lines. The original Z, Pininfarina soft, round was designed in the days when Ferrari was doing. Datsun, Dino 246gt full, molded-Jell-0 did not have the view, but the roof and the sheet metal of the trenches consisted of a curve with a fairly large radius. Since then, the fashion in the direction of Giugiaro turned sharply folded, and folded shapes like the Scirocco and the Lotus Esprit. ZX are not moving in the direction in a stable manner, but the curves in the roof line and body of the hair especially where the queue ends in a pretty compressed. Therefore, when the Datsun's new skin look more modern at the same time, a strong family resemblance to the original z leaves.
The same degree of mechanical similarity between old and new cars is strong. The power of the ZX engine, 135 horsepower, fall 14 graded according to the level of Z, however, a Nissan spokesman, the only change ignition and fuel injection systems, catalytic converter and re-calibrating of the claims that was added. They say, said to improve both economy and performance. Back up engine, standard equipment five-speed gearbox, the same transmission that was previously optional. If it fits your taste, you can order a three speed automatic. Axle ratios, does not result with great speed changed in a way that was previously the standard, which is 3.54% 3.70 instead of five of the fastest cars changed. Now stuck in the four corners of the vehicle disc brakes, front and rear ventilated is fitted in a robust way. Power Steering 2 + 2 standard hardware and two-seat is optional. In addition to easier steering, pinion steering ratio GC 2,7 to 3,5 l / h locking torque is accelerating and how the feeling of the road just a little lost lives.
All these things are minor compared to the changes in suspensions. At first glance, the pieces of the old Z seems to have changed a bit, but in fact it looks like all those in the 810 coupe and sedan completely, and they look a lot alike. The facade is still MacPherson-stitched configuration does not use the forward and rearward arm of the lower control arm but ZX in front of a tension rod are positioned so that (z compression, there is a bar in the back of the arm). This is an important change from the viewpoint of a body structure manually, but does not affect Eclipse. The same situation MacPherson-strut arrangement which replaces the new half-sleeves, pull of the rear suspension. Semi-pulling arms are everywhere these days. Mercedes-Benz and BMW they were using them, GM's new Riviera-Tornado-Eldorado original Datsun 510 and 610 and the body were considered for the model 810 and the model continues in production took place in the present. However, this system does not offer any practical advantage on the z no. Two large towers still in the body field of the spring and requires simple or significantly under the parts is not cheap. Moreover, there is very little downside in terms of usage. Semi-wheel drive MacPherson camber and toe change of the arm support is a lot more difficult to use and therefore there is a greater potential. Because we found so many new models Datsun promotional opportunities to explore these boundaries, prior to the introduction of the press and to ensure safety driving, we onizledi Portland International Raceway is limited. Normal journeys, as is typical of things you will do in a general way, if ZX was good. As in the old z, the accelerations in the rear bastards. A small amount of bumps and hard braking during the automatic steering. Overall, more plush ride quality of a luxury car and less sporty more along the lines pulsed from a machine.
Which is typical for luxury cars and ZX, are less interested in running around the track with a hurry. Naturally, under the car seat. Under power, the radius of the turn, the driver gas expands proportionally to how much open. Get more in return but it is a difficult task. The pitch attitude of the vehicle, the brakes are pulled, the brakes, pulling the entire drive from behind the rear side of the power lifting prevents clogging. Probably what's happening here, the change in the height of the rear suspension of the rear wheels creates a corresponding change in camber and toe. ZX rises when the rear end of the rear wheel camber more positive throughout their fingertips and tosses it out of moves. "Surprise" they might be yelling now because you're going to a completely new party. In this context, ZX, looks like an old Porsche 911, but the Porsche driver was blessed with a very accurate control that allows you to stand on top of the situation. Always far below the cornering limits even experienced drivers feel the outside of the ZX and you can find themselves sideways at the speeds it should be. Interestingly enough, I've noticed a significant difference between the supposedly equal cars. Two and three for the four of Datsun 2 + 2. One of the two personalities, it was significantly worse than the others, but we all have slight differences in terms of operation between driving and we were able to notice. In general, the 2 + 2s-seemed more manageable for speed driving. 7,9 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds and pitch their response to changes in the axle distance is less dramatic. However, to be honest, we didn't like very much how you behave during hard driving.
However, for the type of sedation ZX, Porsche, Mazda and triumph is more comfortable than competitors. The interior is more spacious, More kinked, wider. The seats are wider, slightly curved for lateral support and reasonable in every conceivable direction can be adjusted. The pillow front can be tilted, the backrest is tilted and the center of the waist than have been tightened up. Driving position is good and appropriate for the footrests from the driver's left foot from a to Z have been moved to partial. Pedals, high heels, perfect for business location. The placement of the indicator has not changed, but the instrument panel was all new: still molded plastic, but now seemingly more like Mercedes. Steering, high performance driving, Bob in a way bondurant of the three positions of Vice in his thumbs thumbs because it will be a source of frustration for those who have learned to gnaw ZX inclination angle in the direction of five and seven. Fortunately, while the RIM portion and greasy thumb cengellemed a good, solid grip just enough for texture.
Frequent complaints about the old Z high steering effort. ZX is easy to manoeuvre with the help of power of course, but the Manual Version requires even less Nov. New car Mazda RX-7 Porsche 924 or model thin, there is light in weight, but the old z model, this is not very difficult. This is a clear improvement.
Z was always a slippery changer, and this continues in virtue of ZX. In the same way, the feeling of the allowable Engine speed more than you would ever use. Still the red line on the tachometer is marked at 6400 rpm, but the needle until it reaches a high enough gear to 5500 and the noise is low enough to ensure that the momentum is immediately buyultulm. Rasik returned and the engine still at high revs, even though it does not produce a religion just as it was before. As a result of this and other detail improvements, ZX, led by Turner than a lot more quiet and refined.
Still, just the package and entering a new field in the section ZX is really gadget. Datsun comprehensive a luxury option (price not available at press time) he's gone to the side of a Buick that offers. Six-inch-wide Alloy Wheels (standard 5.5-inch wheels), Rear Window Wiper-washer, white brilli Bridgestone tires, cloth upholstery, door map pockets, Power Steering, Power Windows, central warning system (regardless of whether such useful information gives you enough water to windshield washer bottle), four-speaker stereo radio, electrically adjustable passenger side mirror (available as standard Power Mirrors on the driver side), cruise control and dual-fuel gauge. This is quite a load, and is smart enough to take advantage of some special words. For example, on the driver's side power window Controller. You have two buttons, one works in the normal way. For the other button is like a trigger: tap once when the window is completely down (below). You do not need to hold the button until it arrives at the DESTINATION window. Even Cadillac can't find it. The only thing that is wrong in the system control buttons to the back of his left knee where it hit at the door during hard right turns is placed in a low position old.
Four-speaker Radio also you have a device properly. "Surround-sound" control, this remote can be used to adjust the mirrors in a similar manner, a robust culture that can be moved in any direction. This acts as a single control to adjust the balance between the four speakers. Radio, meanwhile, produces a good sound.
Note the last item in the package Luxury Grand dual fuel gauge. The idea for all the guys who are staying away from gasoline stations as much as possible of the last quarter of the tank is to provide a highly accurate measurement. This is performed with two needles. Second, full-scale travel when you want to remove from a cavity, the usual way of reading is full of fraud. This accuracy allows a lot more to worry about with the gas supply run out.
The Grand luxury package and expenses immediately as well as have a couple of blue pieces in the interior. ZX standard, and the decor on the entire line of the tile vinilen very little shiny metal through the use of Z is very similar to the old. However, the style of the house stands the Grand luxury models to the button on the radio is getting a full treatment. And lastly, completely color coordinated interiors offer a Datsun, so you really have to look at the dashboard unless you want a black indicator, we don't.
This emphasis luxury two-seater sport thins down the structure of, a view curiously strained and isolation that stayed away before because the back of the room are 2 + 2, the attractiveness increases. the seat. However, ZX 2 + 2 makes sense. Rates happy than two storeys, while adults were more pleasant and maybe a little cramped for the back of the class for the students is big enough. Most importantly, the extra length and weight, doesn't make driving less than the two personalities.
Datsun side step moves some of the message here. Old Z 2 + 2 car has grown to be a - deterrent is a car not a sporty car. Surrounds your body with minimal abuse. And Z is not the expertise of the other vehicles in this class that made it famous it's not the thing, but there is room in the market for such a car, and the Datsun, looks like a unique corner once again.
Considering the population density of Manhattan, C / D, Park Avenue, four blocks from his office, and there are thousands of people who only live around the corner. However, to be a coincidence, one of them, Albrecht Goertz, Nissan's advisor as the original Datsun 240-Z is the guy who designed it. Strong thoughts can be met with respect from cars, and a fair dose of personal charm-minute invite for coffee still lies hidden in the 280-ZX and we have resisted the temptation to ask him what he wanted to open up our photo file. thought that.
Our neighbor has been following a course in the history of automotive history. In 1914, Germany's Albrecht Goertz was born to the Earl of drunken you in the city, but since the copyright work is usually the second hand is a little slow prior to the Second World War came to the United States. After some design work and various things, Raymond loewy to 1950, started working in 1953 studebakers. However the most remarkable has ever done before 240z project, today the BMW 507 sports car, which is the most important point was in the 50s.
240-Z was actually the second car that Nissan did for the goertz. First, exported from the United States), Sylvia coupe, unlike the Opel manta seventies, non-uniform, a well-organized way. "When you're finished, they wanted to do something different, maybe a sports car it was, they didn't really know what it was," says Goertz. "And I have a free hand because they don't know what a two-person concept it wasn't my idea, but I like it" I gave up a Porsche last amount. The original 240-Z and Porsche 911 we see that the size is almost the same. Designs have to start somewhere and I thought it was a Porsche.
"When you are looking at a new car here, what I don't understand what you want to achieve, apparently riding on the success of the old car, they didn't want to change too much.
"The original is very dark, tense was a line, if you look at him, there wasn't much hell you can not leave everything something it wasn't, it wasn't grilled anything back, it wasn't anything."
Goertz it is certainly true here. The mastery of the simplicity of the z-grid was old. The inner edge of the Fender which is covered on the top with the edges of a rectangular opening. There wasn't no network pattern and environmental. Within a few bars and bumper. In fact, there was nothing.
"They're the pads even hassle to integrate into the new car," he says. "I guess you need to do in any car today." However, ZX Porsche 924 and 928, the tr7 and the RX-7 as determined by the model you are watching the modern sports car; the grille under the front bumper. Goertz would do it this way? "Probably not," he says. "To look at something, open something or you need something else.In the Porsche as the central emblem enough of car there and it's just a big BLOB."
The original z, the ZX on an ongoing overhang on the hood there was power. Goertz, according to this decoration, it wasn't; the engine had to clean up. On each side of the center of the hood one by one, by channeling air scoops to channel would prefer to be interested in the case, but the bloating stepped forward.
Perhaps my biggest disappointment with the ZX goertz the sideline and the field is focused on the side window. Z the belt line, the rear glass opening side windows where it can be seen as a single sweep combined. "This was the most important feature of the z field, and they should have noticed, 2 + 2 and something happened when they pulled changed: now you two are not in harmony ZX window, and they tried. The clinker door hide this by pasting it into a pole.In fact, the new 2 + 2 looks better than the twins.For window shapes are more suitable, "he said.
In general, ZX Goertz as inconsistent acts. "The sporty GT would have a steering wheel like that?" She asks. Other details and explores: hard hood around the headlights, in the middle and rising to meet up with Hood, the front bumper bar, separated by two-tone paint Chrome door pillar decoration. "Gooky," he said, "a very American view of being imported. I was wondering when you make an imported car here, how it had to be an American. I believe that we must always cater to Americans, but I'm American." Z old it seemed.
