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.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.

Nissan's purchase of Mitsubishi is officially official

Thu, Oct 20 2016

After the company's announcement in May, the Nissan's purchase of a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi is now official. The deal cost Nissan $2.3 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal, and brings Mitsubishi into the Nissan-Renault Alliance. The company explained that this new partnership will manifest itself in shared vehicle platforms and technology, joint purchasing, and shared manufacturing. Nissan also said that this purchase will make the company one of the three largest companies by volume in the world. Nissan also emphasized that Mitsubishi will very much be a partner in the current alliance with Renault. In addition, Carlos Ghosn, CEO of both Nissan and Renault, has been nominated to be the new chairman of the Mitsubishi board. With Ghosn at the head of the board, current Mitsubishi president and CEO, Osamu Masuko, will remain in his positions but Nissan's current chief competitive officer will join Masuko as co-chief executive officer at Mitsubishi. With these companies now working together, we'll probably start seeing more commonality between Nissan and Mitsubishi products here in the States. It would also be a great opportunity to get some of Mitsubishi's cooler products here. Perhaps Mitsubishi and Nissan will take our hint about the Delica. This article has been revised to clarify that Nissan Motors purchased the stake in Mitsubishi, not the Nissan-Renault Alliance, and to add the value of the purchase.

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?

Tue, Feb 23 2016

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:
