I am the second owner of this car, the first owner unfortunately died! He lost out on a great car! ;( It was originally purchased and stored in Santa Clara, CA. When I purchased the vehicle, it had not been driven in 10 years. I have the full CarFax report with the maintenance records and mileage documentation.

I have put a lot of work into restoring this beauty, here is a list of what has been done:


Engine/Drive Train/Suspension:

Battery
Timing Belt
Water Pump

Fan Clutch
Thermostat
All Belts & Hoses
Radiator Flush
Power Steering Flush
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Air Filter
Tires
Brake Pads
Shocks
Bushings

Interior/Electrical/Cosmetic:

Headliner
Rear Hatch Carpet
Rear Hatch Support Struts
Rear Hatch Weather Seal
Headlights
Front Windshield Wipers
Kenwood Radio/MP3/Hands Free/Bluetooth
Rockford Fosgate Door & Rear Speakers
Kenwood Amplifier For Door & Rear Speakers under Passenger Seat
10" Kenwood Subwoofer in Custom Box w/Amp & Wiring Kit
A/C Double Solenoid Valve (Controls Air Vent Flow Shutters)
New Woodgrain Trim for Window Switches & A/C Unit
Custom Matching Woodgrain Trim for Kenwood Radio
New Z Emblem for Steering Wheel
New RearView Mirror & Support Base
New Center Console Leather Lid & Support
Rear Hatch Trim Piece
Rear Hatch Speaker Grilles


There may have been some more things that I can't remember, I have records for everything and will provide them to the buyer.

The car runs and drives very well. I drove it down from San Francisco and it didn't skip a beat. It has been garage kept and never driven in the rain.

Now, here is what needs to be done to make this vehicle mint condition:

Replace Steering Rack
Potentially Replace Clutch
Minor Paint Reconditioning

The interiror is an 8.5/10. There are some small stains on the carpet and the passenger seat leather is a little hard on the base. There are no tears/rips and it is very clean. No cracks on the windshield, No cracks on the dash.

This car is equipped with every feature you could get in 1985. It includes the Digitial Dash, Compass, Accelerometer, and talking warning system. It has heated mirrors, automatic a/c, cruise control, power locks/windows, T-Tops, MPG Indicator, Turbo, Boost Indicator, Headlight Washers, and probably some more things I can't think of.

In addition to the car, I have spare parts, (sometimes rare to find), interior pieces, the original radio with equalizer, original speaker amplifier, original sales brochure, misc. magazine articles from the 80's that show off the car and several other relevant things. This will be included for free if the car sells for Buy It Now price.

Why am I selling it? Good question! This is my 3rd 300zx, I love these cars!! I also love fixing them and restoring the cars back to how they were in the 80's, just love them!! Anyways, My business has taken off and I do not have the time to spend with the Z any more.  I leased a new car and find myself neglecting the Z. I only drive it once or twice a month and for the rest of the time it just sits in the garage. 

Please send any questions or offers you may have.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Nissan Qashai gets the Juke R treatment

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

It would appear that we're a little behind the times on this one, but a UK-based tuner of the Nissan GT-R is creating its own take on the lustworthy Juke-R starting with the Nissan Qashqai crossover. Severnvalley Motorsport claims to be the leading authority for tuning of the current GT-R in Europe. The outfit is now turning its attention to stuffing the drivetrain of a GT-R under the body of a Qashqai+2 - a seven-passenger compact crossover similar in size to our Nissan Rogue - resulting in the Qashqai-R.
The project started back in March when Severnvalley took delivery of a new Qashqai. After stripping the crossover down to its bare essentials and building a custom jig to support the body shell, it was then transferred onto an awaiting GT-R chassis. The crew aimed to keep Qashqai's appearance as stock as possible, but fender extensions and hood vents were required to accommodate the sports car underpinnings.
The white Qashqai-R seen above will be tuned to produce 900 horsepower, while a black version will get bumped up to 1,000 hp. And, looking at the build photos, we surmise that this project will take nothing less than a herculean feat of supercar determination before it's through.

This new Renault would make a great Nissan Maxima wagon

Thu, Apr 21 2016

A new Renault station wagon wouldn't ordinarily show up on our radar. But this one gets us thinking. It's the new Talisman Estate, and we can't help but wonder if it wouldn't make a good addition to Nissan's North American lineup. If you recognize the name, you may recall that Renault launched the Talisman sedan on the other side of the pond last summer. At the time, we noticed some striking similarities to the Maxima sedan we get here, though Nissan told us the two were unrelated. But that wouldn't necessarily stop the wagon from sporting a different badge on the nose and making the transatlantic journey to American showrooms. The long-roofed version of the Talisman measures 191 inches long making it only a little longer than the BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon we get here, while riding on the same 110-inch wheelbase. But where the Bimmer offers up to 53 cubic feet of cargo space, the Renault can fit nearly 60. It also boasts electronic dampers and four-wheel steering to keep it light on its toes, and offers a selection of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines ranging from 110 horsepower up to 200.
