Nissan is bringing back the badge in Russia, India, and Indonesia.

I remember seeing old Datsun signs around before they were taken down. I wonder if they'll get into auto racing like they did before.

Datsun 510. Had a friend in the 70s who had one with a race motor and he drove it on the street. I swear the thing revved to 10,000 rpm the way is sounded. Awesome, awesom car. :thumbup:

Amen, brotha. I briefly had a '74 260z that had seen its better years, but that sucker kicked ass. :thumbup: :thumbup: Sadly a busted rear differential and Flintstone floorboards ended the fun too soon. :(

Yeah, I agree. I'm really thinking of the 240z or 260z before they added the crash bumpers.

The 280z initially wasn't bad...until they added the X and the +2 to the name. :saywhat: Now I need to go dig out the 260z badge I have buried in a box in the garage and mount it on the garage wall.... :)
