Chicago, Illinois, United States

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.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to hit 60 mph in 2 seconds?

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Here's your daily dose of incredulity - AutoExpress is reporting the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo will hit 60 miles per hour in two seconds. Okay. The report comes from an unnamed source that AE spoke with at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and would mean that the GT-R Nismo, a car that will likely sit below $150,000, will be able to outsprint (over short distances) a 1200-horsepower, $2.58-million Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Citing a more potent version of the GT-R's twin-turbocharged V-6 along with a healthy drop in weight, AutoExpress says that the performance is the result of the same group that helped develop the Juke Nismo, Williams Advanced Engineering. An unnamed engineer for Williams (it's not made clear if this is the same source from Goodwood) notes that there are improvements to be had "even with a car like the GT-R."
As exciting as the GT-R Nismo is going to be, we're having a hard time accepting that it will be able to hit 60 in two seconds flat, at least on street tires. What do you think? Have your say in Comments.

Carlos Ghosn brings Nissan Leaf EV to happy nation of Bhutan

Fri, Feb 21 2014

The Nissan Leaf has been declared the cleanest car in the US, and it's going to have a good case to claim the same title in Bhutan. Yes, Bhutan, the country famous for measuring Gross National Happiness is about to get serious about the EV Grin. Last December, we learned that Bhutan's capital city, Thimphu, wanted to build up a Leaf taxi fleet. That's when Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn went to Bhutan to talk about the project and he has recently returned to deliver some vehicles to the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay, who has been advocating for EVs since taking office in July and has set a preliminary target of 2,000 EVs on the streets of Thimphu. Tobgay said his country, "will commit to a program to achieve zero emissions as a nation by a certain target date." It's not an outrageous goal for the Himalayan country, since it generates a lot of hydro-electric power, way more than it can use. There are only around 750,000 citizens of Bhutan and they only use five percent of the clean power made within its borders. Most of the rest goes to neighbor India. The problem, as expressed in Nissan's press release (available below), is that Bhutan takes "almost all of the revenue earned from selling electricity" to buy fossil fuel from India and power its national vehicle fleet. You can probably see how making the switch to EVs can simplify and clean things all around. There's a video of Ghosn's Bhutan trip below. This content is hosted by a third party.

The remote Himalayan country, renowned for championing "Gross National Happiness," has taken first steps towards becoming a leading global electric-vehicle nation. Prime Ministers of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay and Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced a partnership in Thimphu Friday, which will see both parties work toward achieving Bhutan's ambitious clean-energy goals. "We will develop a program, we will commit to a program to achieve zero emissions as a nation by a certain target date," said Tobgay who has backed the EV project since taking office in July last year.

Jay Leno checks out Nissan IDx Nismo, spiritual successor to classic Datsun 510

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Jay Leno may not be spending his night behind the Tonight Show desk anymore, but he's clearly not done rolling precious metal into his garage, intent on putting it through its paces after a thorough investigation. The latest machine to meet Jay on his home turf is the Nissan IDx Nismo Concept that we first saw at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year.
Leno already has love for the classic Datsun 510, which plays a cameo in the video that you'll see below, and he refers to the IDx as the spiritual successor to that car's ethos - driving fun in an affordable package. Fortunately for us, while the IDx is a showcar first and foremost, it is indeed driveable, and Leno, naturally, takes his turn behind the wheel.
