Up for sale is my beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 automatic. This is a wonderful car that is a blast to drive and gets looks everywhere I go. I hate to sell it but a new pair of twins in my life means that priorities have to change.

A brief history of the car: The car was purchased from the original owner in 1998 from my Wife’s uncle. He passed it down to my brother in-law in 2005. Unfortunately my wife’s uncle did not take very good care of the car’s engine which forced my brother in-law to correct a few issues. He decided to replace the engine with a JDM spec motor in an attempt to have two engines to work with if needed. At the same time the car would be gone through and anything that needed attention would be addressed. My brother in-law owned a custom car shop at the time and all of the work was performed professionally in his shop. At the time of the engine swap the car had just over 90K miles. In the summer of 2006 the engine was replaced with an engine pulled from the front clip of a similar year JDM Fairlady Z. The JDM motor had approximately 50-60K miles on it. During the swap the new engine received a complete major tune-up along with several major service items. Below is a list of all items and services performed during the engine swap:

50-60K miles JDM NA engine swap
Timing belt replacement
Cam shaft oil seal replacement
new water pump
new power steering pump and pressure hose
PVC valve
new platinum spark plugs
new plug wires
6 new fuel injectors
new motor mounts
new exhaust header installed

After the engine swap the plan for the car was to turn the car into a period correct 90s custom. The following parts were also installed on the car:

Set of staggered width IMPUL RS 16” wheels with new tires
Full Tokico HP Blue Shock/Strut replacement
Eibach Pro Kit suspension springs
Complete Energy Suspension bushing set
Greddy SP2 stainless cat back exhaust system
Custom intake kit
OBX stainless steel headers
Drilled and Slotted rotors with carbon ceramic performance brake pads

In addition to the performance parts several other items have also been addressed:

New weather strip around windows
new floor mats
New CD/MP3 player with 4 new speakers
recharged A/C system (blows ice cold)

As of 10/2013 the car now also has a completely rebuilt transmission. The tranny was the last item on the powertrain that needed addressed when my brother in-law had the car and it went out last month. I had a transmission specialist completely rebuild the tranny (new clutch pack, gears, everything) to the tune of $2500. The car now runs, sounds, and drives amazing.

With all of the powertrain and chassis items sorted out the only thing left is the body which unfortunately I cannot afford to update right now. The body is in really good condition as is but a paint job would make the car absolutely perfect. There a few small dings here and there and the front bumper has a few scuffs. The paint is original and shows pretty good for a 20+ year old car. As you can see from the pictures the car looks great and can certainly be driven as is. The interior is also in great shape. Everything except for the radio is original and again shows really well for the age. All gauges, A/C, lights, power windows, and locks work as they should.

I tried to cover everything I can think of about the car. My family has babied this car over the years and it shows. All it needs now is a new owner to enjoy this awesome sports car.

Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."

Nissan Friend-Me Concept is cooler than its name

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here is the Nissan Friend-Me, a swoopy - and let us emphasize that word "swoopy" - sedan-with-a-hatchback developed specifically for Chinese youth in their mid-twenties, the ones born in the '80s mainly bereft of siblings due to China's one-child policy. The exterior is meant to be most imposing at night, when Nissan figures these single children will be getting together with their friends. The sheetmetal looks like it was shaped by waves, and the details like lighting and vent openings could have been penned on Krypton.
The real show is inside, where peers are made equal and can interact with one another via the "oracle stone." The concept is that instead of a driver and three passengers, everyone gets access to the same information and the ability to alter the ambiance of the car - dash readouts are provided for all of the occupants, and anyone can move content from their phones to the in-car screens to be shared throughout. As Nissan says, it's the end of anyone being a "music dictator."
Designed by Nissan Design China for a specific market-within-a-market estimated to contain 240 million potential buyers, Nissan says the wishes of these customers and the ideas in this car could shape automotive offerings for decades to come. So read all about it in the press release below and take some long virtual looks in the galleries of high-res photos.

Can a car be lifted using rubber bands?

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

It's quite amazing what it takes to lift a car. We already know the feat can be accomplished using just a pair of phone books, but what about rubber bands? To the Internet! A video series appropriately titled "Will It Lift" attempted to find out by using a massive crane and a Nissan Micra weighing less than 1,800 pounds.
Doing a little math, the trio determined that it would take 180 rubber bands to support the car. A metal bar was placed through the window openings and another was place atop the car, and then attached together using the rubber bands and hooked to the crane. Now these aren't any special rubber bands or anything. They're just eight-millimeters thick, but the stunt is testing the rubber bands' power in numbers.
We're not going to spoil it for you, so scroll down to check out the video of the stunt.
