FOR SALE! THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LOOK! 

I have wanted a 300ZX for years and I finally picked one up a little while back. As much as I have enjoyed ripping up the on-ramps/off-ramps and getting some wind and sun with the tops off, a change in circumstance has given me the need to sell. I will be moving and simply will not have space to keep the car, nor the time to do what I intended (NA to TT conversion, body work, etc). 

The car runs, drives but could use some TLC.  I am the third owner, and it originally came out of California. I have the title in hand, with no lien on it, of course. I did a few minor things like replace a few soft fuel lines, do a new fuel filter (it was needed BADLY) and an oil change. My consensus below: 

The GOOD:
Runs and drives! 
Tires have great tread
Brakes feel solid
Suspension still feels great 
T-Tops DO NOT LEAK! 

The BAD:
Power steering pump is on the outs. I looked for leaks, the line's are fine, it appears to actually be the pump
A/C is Inop
Some of the speakers are blown
The key lock cylinders in the doors do not engage the door locks. From what I can tell this is fixed with a $25 part available from any of the Z car resto websites. 
Intermittent check engine light at start, more frequent when it's hot out. May need a new MAF. 

The UGLY:
There is a rather large portion of rust on the passenger side door 
Rust has developed on the rear sections of each rocker panel 
The passenger side mirror housing has a small crack
The hood has picked up some hail damage (can't really find any elsewhere on the car) 

Given that it runs and drives, and is still fun as hell... this NA Auto 300ZX with TTops is perfect for the enthusiast looking for a project (as I was) that can still be enjoyed until the project commences. With an increased work load, and my location changing, I just can't practically keep this Z around. I wish I could, and it pains me to write this ad. 

Please text me (224-558-8372) Vehicle is available to show Wednesday nights, Fridays all day, and Sundays all day. Carfax available upon request.

Will Nissan's Cummins deal upset Ram's marketing mojo? [w/poll]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Ram has used Cummins engines in its heavy duty trucks since 1989, and it is the only pickup truck brand to use products from the Indiana-based engine maker. With the announcement that the next Nissan Titan will also use a Cummins powerplant, and a Nissan spokesman having already said "We will definitely leverage the Cummins brand name," a piece in Automotive News wonders whether the deal will affect the way Ram markets its tie-up with Cummins.
The question really is, how intense is this competition? While it is the first time that trucks from two different brands have used Cummins engines, they'll be two different engines in two different kinds of trucks; Nissan is going to put a 5.0-liter turbodiesel in a non-heavy-duty Titan, Ram only uses its 6.7-liter, inline six-cylinder turbodiesel in heavy-duty offerings. The diesel that Ram will offer in its light-duty, half-ton 1500 is a 3.0-liter V6 EcoDiesel with 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque - compared to about 300 hp and 550 lb-ft expected from the Titan's Cummins - and its marketing so far has focused on the fuel economy gains.
If Nissan was going to prove its commitment to the segment, it had to do something compelling. If we're talking about sales competition between Ram and Nissan, Ram has sold 201,633 trucks as of July this year, up 24.2 percent, 31,314 of those sales coming last month; Nissan has sold 10,020 Titans through the end of July, down 21.1 percent, and just 1,168 in July itself. Nissan's new truck boss - who hopped there from Ram - said that buyers have asked for a powerful turbodiesel in something other than a heavy duty pickup, and from what we've read on various comment boards, the pickup truck crowd is excited about Nissan's move.

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

2014 Nissan Serena offers big flexibility in a tidy package

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

In America, Nissan attempts to slake our kinschlepping needs with its slow-selling Quest minivan, but in Japan, where consumers seem a lot less reluctant to buy MPVs, there are a lot more models for every size family and budget. Nissan itself offers no fewer than six such minivans, including the popular Serena seen here.
Technically a mid-cycle facelift, this new Serena continues to offer seating for up to eight people with a gas-only or mild hybrid driveline delivering power to either the front or all four wheels. This Tokyo Motor Show reveal takes that familiar package and lends it a freshened look, complete with a revamped front fascia with less chrome frosting, optional LED headlamps, new LED taillamps and new alloy wheel patterns. In addition, the Serena receives new active safety technology, including lane departure warning systems, Around View Monitor with Moving Option Detection, Driver Attention Alert, and so on.
With only a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission, you might expect the Serena to be smaller than today's American minivans, and you'd be right - it's roughly the size of a short-wheelbase Gen III Dodge Caravan, making its seating capacity particularly impressive. Said another way, the Serena is likely to stay forbidden fruit, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it in our gallery.
