Up for auction is a 1979 Nissan 280ZX with a 350 Chevy conversion and ground effects package. My brother bought this car in Virginia (with my money!!) as a cool project, and did a lot of work on it until loosing his garage. I brought the car here to Las Vegas where it is currently located, but I just have too many other projects, and do not have the time or resources to complete this Z. As stated above, the car has a clear Virginia title, and is registered (with a Virginia tag), insured, and occasionally driven. The 350 conversion was complete when my brother bought the car, and appears to have been professionally well done. The car really pulls strong. The motor has camelback double hump heads, a 2-row 1 1/4 inch aluminum radiator with electric fan, transmission cooler, crane roller rockers, electric fuel pump, Holly single pump dual feed 3310 750cfm carb, GM HEI distributor, chrome alternator and bracket and water pump pully, polished aluminum 350Z valve covers, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers with glass packs. The car also has 4 wheel disc brakes, and Hankook Ventos V4ES tires that look to be almost new, a B&M Star shifter, Panasonic stereo, and a newly professionally re-covered dash with all new Autometer gauges (the gauges alone were over $1000). The car fires right up, runs, drives and stops as it should. I would rate the paint as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, but it hasn't been color sanded or buffed, and I think that would get it up to a 7 or 8. The seats, door panels, and headliner are in good shape, and the carpet looks to be fairly recent. The interior is missing some plastic pieces, but I think that the parts that I have taken a separate picture of will cover most of what is needed. There is no heater or A/C. The underside of the car shows some rust, and the frame rails have the typical ZX rot and need work. I just noticed that the rear tail lights and turn signals do not work, but I will try to fix these if I have a few minutes, since they were working a couple of months ago. As mentioned, the Autometer gauges are all new, and work properly except for the fuel gauge and the speedometer. I think there is a sender issue with the fuel gauge, and I do not know why the speedo doesn't work since everything appears to be proper. I listed the mileage as zero because the odometer did not work when my brother bought the car, and the actual mileage is unknown. The new Autometer odometer currently reads zero. There is no spare tire. My cell phone number is 770-330-8539 (Jerry) if you have any questions. There is no reserve after the low opening bid (the gauges and dash are worth the opening bid), which means this Z is gonna sell. A $250 deposit is required within 24 hours after the auction end, and payment in full with car pickup is required within 7 days of the auction end. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Nissan reveals new Qashqai crossover for Europe

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Between the Juke, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder and Armada, Nissan offers a wide variety of crossovers and SUVs in this market. And that's not even counting the trucks, vans and Infiniti crossovers. But in the European market, it all comes down the Qashqai. Not that Nissan doesn't offer other crossovers in Europe, it's just that the Qashqai has, since its introduction in 2007, accounted for the lion's share, with over two million sold globally (of which 1.5 million were in Europe). And now, after teasing it repeatedly, Nissan has introduced the all-new model.
Larger, sleeker, more advanced, more comfortable and more environmentally friendly than the model it replaces, the new Qashqai is designed in Europe, for Europe, and hits the market at the start of the new year. It's the first European model to be based on Renault-Nissan's new Common Alliance Platform that will eventually encompass three Nissan models and 11 Renaults built in locations around the world.
An array of gasoline and diesel engines, ranging from 110 to 150 horsepower, will be available in two- or four-wheel drive configurations, with either a six-speed manual or the type of continuously variable transmission which Nissan champions.

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, Jun 14 2015

The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

Watch Nissan's autonomous Leaf in action

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

Getting its semi-autonomous Leaf legalized in Japan was just the first step. Now, Nissan is giving demonstrations of what its fully autonomous car is capable of at this year's Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) show - Japan's equivalent to America's Consumer Electronics Show. To show off the possibilities of its technologies, Nissan had an oval track set up at the show giving rides in an autonomous Leaf to the media. Even Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn and Toyota CEO Akio Toyodo caught a ride.
Nissan has since released a couple videos of its CEATEC demos, with one designed to look like a news report. In this video, you can watch the car go around the track and navigate intersections and road hazards. The second video shows Ghosn riding in the car, and he hints that Nissan's goal of having an autonomous vehicle in production by 2020 might be more of a worst-case scenario. Watch both videos and read through Nissan's official press release below.
