For sale 1992 3000gt one of two soft top convertible with 65xxx miles on the odometer (car fax reports 111xxx miles but I have documentation from 3 months prior to the documented mileage stating 61xxx miles, it seems to have been an error made by a a smog tech) Car was converted by coach builders In 1992 to have a powered convertible top. This is one of the two soft top convertibles built by coach builders that was sold brand new as a soft top and the only coach builder soft top that is a vr4. For non 3000gt enthusiasts a vr4 is the top of the line model sporting a twin turbo 3.0l engine, an all wheel drive drivetrain, active exhaust, active suspension, and active aerodynamics. It also has digital climate control with two stage air conditioning. The original owner purchased this car and had a very high quality shop fabricate a metal wide body for the rear along with molding the rear bumper and having it painted Ferrari yellow. The interior boasts custom yellow face gauges along with yellow stitching on the black leather powered seats and is topped off with a yellow and black momo steering wheel and shift knob. Engine wise it is mostly stock with a few small Bolt ons such as a light weight pulley and polished piping and valve covers. Also it has Spal radiator fans. When I purchased the vehicle I removed the engine cleaned and re-sealed the engine and installed a new water pump, timing belt, hydraulic tensioner and both of the roller bearings. The transmission and transfer case and rear end were all drained and refilled with gear oil and the clutch was replaced with a stage two disk and pressure plate along with a lightweight flywheel with replaceable face (the aftermarket throw out bearing seems to rattle a bit but does not affect drive ability at all). All of the smog equipment was kept intact including all vacumn lines and cat converters. The wheels are custom made Azev wheels that were designed as a staggered fitment to go along with the wide body rear.
The car runs and drives perfect and is a blast to take out for a spin when the weather is nice. The car has been garaged for the entire 2 and a half years I have owned it.
Now for the bad
When I purchased the vehicle it had been sitting at a repo lot for about ten years. Apparently the original owner lost the vehicle along with his business and house and the car was reposed. Having sat in the elements for ten years it has its fair share of wear and tear on the paint and will need to be re-sprayed to get it back to perfect condition, along with the paint fading the rear plastic window has fallen in and would need to be replaced. I've never actually driven the car with the top up so it never bothers me but it is not intact. Also when i purchased the car I disconnected the power wire for the top due to it being located where me knee would hit it accidentally. The top still fully functions and can be hooked up to power or moved manually. The rear active aero also has a small chip in the base but I have a replacement to go with the vehicle that just needs to be paint matched.

2014 Pikes Peak Hill Climb Practice Day 1
Wed, 25 Jun 2014This year the big news about the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is about who isn't showing up. Sebastien Loeb, fresh off his record setting run last year, hasn't bothered coming back (and probably won't unless someone breaks his record). The Millen family is also noticeably absent. Rhys and Rod have been driving here for the past couple of decades but it looks like Rhys is focusing his efforts on Global RallyCross.
Last year Pikes Peak added a fourth practice day on Tuesday to allow drivers to get more time on the mountain. It's an optional practice day, but most drivers show up.
Today, both Time Attack divisions (1 and 2) as well as Unlimited division drove the lower third of the mountain. Pikes Peak Open, Open Wheel, Electric Production, Electric Modified, Exhibition and Vintage all practiced on the middle section, and bikes power sports did the top section.
Carlos Ghosn re-arrested and thrown back in jail [UPDATE]
Thu, Apr 4 2019TOKYO — Tokyo prosecutors arrested Nissan's former chairman Carlos Ghosn on Thursday for a fourth time, on fresh allegations that cut short his brief time outside detention. Early in the morning, Ghosn was taken from his apartment in Tokyo to the prosecutors' office and then sent to the Tokyo Detention Center, the same facility where he spent more than three months following his arrest in November. He had been released on bail just a month earlier. It's unclear how long Ghosn may be detained under the latest arrest, which involves what prosecutors said was a new alleged crime. "My arrest this morning is outrageous and arbitrary," Ghosn said in a statement issued Thursday. "It is part of another attempt by some individuals at Nissan to silence me by misleading the prosecutors. Why arrest me except to try to break me? I will not be broken. I am innocent of the groundless charges and accusations against me." The prosecutors defended the move, saying the latest allegations are a new case requiring precautions to prevent Ghosn from destroying evidence. They allege $5 million in funds sent by a Nissan subsidiary to an overseas dealership were diverted to a company controlled by Ghosn. "We now have a totally different case, and we are only doing what we think is right," Shin Kukimoto, deputy chief prosecutor at the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, told reporters. "As a result of our investigation, we have a new case in which he must be detained, and we have appropriately obtained an arrest warrant from the court," he said. Ghosn, 65, was first arrested on Nov. 19 on charges of under-reporting his compensation. He was rearrested twice in December, including on breach of trust charges. The multiple arrests prolong detentions without trial and are an oft-criticized prosecution tactic in Japan's criminal justice system. The allegations in the most recent arrest cover three money transfers from 2015 through last year, according to the prosecutors. Kukimoto said the new allegation of breach of trust is different from an earlier charge made in January. The companies where the money was transferred to, the motives, and the alleged scheme are all different, he said. He refused to identify the three companies allegedly involved but said one company was in effect owned by Ghosn. Unlike an earlier case, in which Ghosn caused damage to Nissan to benefit himself and a business partner, this time it was merely "for his own personal benefit," Kukimoto said.
Carlos Ghosn's new lawyer, 'the Razor,' starts slashing
Wed, Feb 20 2019TOKYO — Carlos Ghosn's new lawyer took aim at Nissan, prosecutors and courts on Wednesday, dismissing the charges against the ousted chairman as an internal company matter and saying Japan was out of step with international norms by keeping his client in jail. "This should have been dealt with as an internal matter," Junichiro Hironaka, nicknamed the Razor, said at his first press briefing. Ghosn, who was arrested in November over alleged financial misconduct and remains in detention in a Tokyo jail, picked a new team last week with long-time defense attorney Hironaka as a key member to replace Motonari Otsuru, a lawyer who once ran the prosecutor's office investigating him. Hironaka's combative style contrasts with the low-key approach adopted by media-shy Otsuru. Ghosn's switch to an aggressive legal strategy came after his attempts to win bail failed and just before lawyers were due to sit down with prosecutors and judges for the first time to hash out a schedule for pre-trial discovery meetings, where prosecutors will reveal evidence and submit a list of witnesses. Hironaka said he didn't know why Ghosn picked him, but added that Ghosn probably wanted an experienced criminal lawyer as the case moved toward trial. The 73-year-old defense attorney is reputed for winning high profile cases, including the acquittal of a senior lawmaker, Ichiro Ozawa, on financial misconduct charges. He also helped free a senior bureaucrat Atsuko Muraki who was jailed for four months on corruption charges fabricated by prosecutors. Yet, even with greater legal firepower the former Nissan Motor Co boss faces a criminal justice system where only three out of every 100 defendants pleading not guilty are acquitted. Neither does Japan have a plea-deal mechanism that would allow Ghosn to agree to lesser charges for a lighter sentence. "The change in lawyers means a change in style, but the legal strategy will still be the same. I don't think it increases Ghosn's chance of an acquittal," said Masashi Akita, a defense lawyer at Shin-Yu Law Office in Osaka, ahead of Wednesday's comments by Hironaka. Ghosn has lost his perch atop an automotive alliance trio of French carmaker Renault SA and Japanese automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. Attempts to win bail, including an offer to wear a GPS ankle bracelet and hire security guards to stop him trying to tamper with evidence, failed.
