Up for sale is my 1989 Nissan 240sx Hatch.400 miles ran on engine. Built the winter of 2012 and ran this year. Car has never driven through winters and has been babied for a long time.

Chassis: Welded in reinforcement bar across front for crash bar delete. I sanded down the whole front end. I painted 3 coats of high temp primer, 3 coats of ultra-fire red high temp paint, 2 coats of sealer with gloss. Underside is clean. Clean frame rails. No rust on quarters. Slight surface rust on lower portion of the driver’s side fender, but I sanded it down and put anti rust agent on it.  

Suspension: KYB GR2 shocks all around, K Sport lowering springs, Rucas, 300zx diff, z32 brakes all around w drill slotted rotors. Sportmaxx 18 inch 502 rims and fat tires. New same miles 400 on them. Red tuner lugs.

Engine sr20det red top (finned): Megan polyurethane motor mounts and trans mount. Brian Crower 272 cams, BC valves, BC springs, BC guides, and retainers, Rocker arm plate stopper. 2 new rockers and shims. Head was sent out to San Diego california to HGMS for over haul where it was tanked, intake side ported and exhaust side polished. Block was tanked and honed with cp pistons 86mm 9:1 compression, eagle rods. All new gaskets (will work with E85). S14 oil pump, new suction line, s14 water pump, Moroso large oil pan, polished high flow intake plenum w throttle cable mount, new plugs, coils, light weight pulleys, ignitor chip, new belts, hoses. Koyo aluminum radiator with twin Spal slim high power fans. Tomei 8270 arms turbo. Probably more.

I wired the car myself and cleaned the engine bay. I put into place quick disconnects to separate the harness if need be. Looks very clean

Trans: Rebuilt; new first gear, new synchros, new input and out seals. B&M short shifter. Exedy stage 2 clutch. New slave cylinder, throw out bearing, and fork. Trans shifts like butter.

Inside: 180 KPH gauge cluster. The door panels are clean. No cracks in the dash. Red 5 zigen center cluster. Nismo leather shifter cover with red stitching. Nismo race bucket seats with 4 point harness. Inside has new black carpet. Rear seat nismo eliminator, looks nice and fitted well. Trunk gutted with battery relocated and boxed. Bride steering wheel. New door seals and glass rubber backing. New passenger side window motor. Sony radio.

Body is original red. Has dings and dents but paint still shines. Was scraped on the passenger side but it was repair 5 years ago. Minor scrape when another vehicle pulled into the next parking spot.

When I finished the build I broke in the engine for the 30 min run time. After that I took it easy for the first week. I inspected the oil and it came out clean no issues no junk. Somewhere about a good 50 miles into driving, the car began smoking oil out the back. I freaked out and thought something went in the engine. I found out after going through a cylinder compression test and taking apart the head that Tomei sent me a faulty turbo. The main seal let loose and was dumping oil to the exhaust. I sent it back and waited for warranty. From there the car sat again till May. I bought a house and had to move the car. I installed the stock turbo and sent out the ECU to Jim Wolf to get the car to run on the maf and big cam. Amazingly the guys at Jwolf made it run. Car idles, fires up on the first try, and pulls good. Finally in August-September Tomei sent me a brand new 8270 arms turbo kit. I never installed it. It sits sealed in the box and will be included. I did however sell the AEM EMS 2 and the Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors.

Now for the bad:

The stock turbo likes to smoke a little oil after a long idle time. But I have not seen the oil level go down any.

I disconnected the e-brake cable because the line kept popping out of the backing plate. I did however buy a brand new rear 300zx brake kit with lines and I will include it. (Backing plates, rotors, pads, calipers, lines, shoes). Ill also throw in some 5 lugs spindles for the rear.

Windshield cracked in the passenger side bottom corner but it is not visible.

The body is an 1989. It has some dings and scratches but the car is clean and shines. I loved it since I could remember. I wish I could keep her but with many toys and two kids and a house the car sits there and doesn’t move. I’ve dumped tons of money into it and hope the next person will take care of it and enjoy it. Thanks for looking, happy bidding, and if you have any questions please let me know.

Nissan Patrol attempts Guinness record with 170-ton cargo plane tow

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Yesterday, Nissan teased us with a video showing a Patrol pulling up to a 170-ton cargo plane at an airport in the Middle East - we could only assume that the not-for-America sports utility vehicle would attempt to tow the jet.
Well, somebody leaked the official Nissan video, which indeed shows the Patrol successfully pulling the plane 30 meters for what reportedly is a Guinness world record. While Guinness hasn't confirmed the record on its website at time of writing, the 170-ton jet would be the heaviest plane ever towed by a production automobile. The video was taken down quickly, but another video shot by an observer at the event was posted for our enjoyment. We figured Nissan would move to repost the official video sooner rather than later, and it did.
The Patrol seems to have no problem towing 340,000 pounds, but let's just say it wasn't a quick ordeal. Check out the official and unofficial video of the tow below, as well as Nissan's teaser video. In a reversal of fortunes, we also threw in another, somewhat smaller but perhaps just as impressive vid, just for fun.

Nissan's Carlos Ghosn offers to wear electronic ankle tag if released

Mon, Jan 21 2019

TOKYO — Ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn has offered to wear an electronic ankle tag and hire guards to monitor him in an unusual bid to secure his release on bail after two months of harsh detention in Japan for alleged financial crimes. Ghosn is also willing to remain in Tokyo, where he has leased an apartment, and post stock he owns in Nissan as collateral, his spokeswoman said. A new bail hearing is set for Monday after an earlier request was denied due partly to concerns the French executive was a flight risk. His release would allow Ghosn to meet more frequently with his lawyers and defend himself before the board of Renault, where he remains chairman and CEO, amid calls for his removal and potential moves to restructure the Nissan tie-up. Ghosn denies any wrongdoing as he awaits trial on charges of financial misconduct. "I will attend my trial not only because I am legally obligated to do so, but because I am eager to finally have the opportunity to defend myself," Ghosn said in a statement on Sunday. "I am not guilty of the charges against me, and I look forward to defending my reputation in the courtroom." Meanwhile, Ghosn's wife, Carole Ghosn, has written to French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss her husband's situation, her public relations representative said. The representative, Devon Spurgeon, confirmed a report in French paper Journal du Dimanche that a letter had been sent to Macron this month, but declined to provide details. France wants a full merger As Ghosn's arrest on Nov. 19 continued to cloud the outlook for Nissan's three-way alliance with France's Renault and Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan said it was not the time to discuss revising the partners' capital ties. Ghosn, who spearheaded Nissan's turnaround two decades ago, had pushed for a deeper tie-up between Nissan and Renault, including possibly a full merger by 2020, despite strong reservations at the Japanese firm. "We are not at the stage for such discussions," Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa told reporters on Monday. Saikawa said he had not heard directly about a reported proposal by the French government to integrate the Japanese carmaker's management with Renault. The Nikkei newspaper reported on Sunday that a French government delegation had informed Tokyo that it would seek an integration of Renault and Nissan, most likely under the umbrella of a single holding company. "Since I have not heard this directly, I cannot comment," Saikawa told reporters.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
