1990 Nissan 300zx Turbo 652rwhp on 2040-cars
Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, United States
|
The color is Silverstone (WV2) from the 350Z (car was originally silver). It was painted by a highly skilled and meticulous painter in an extremely nice downdraft paint booth. The top of the car has also been painted black - along with the pillars between the side windows and quarter windows as well as the T-Top Bar. The employees of Z1 Motorsports said it was one of the nicest paint jobs on a 300zx they had ever seen. Unfortunately, there was a mishap when trailering the car and damage occurred to the nose. Upon sale I can provide the contact information of the painter. Also the driver's side door is slightly out of alignment. New driver's side door hinges will come with the car. This car was built by my father, a master technician at Nissan for over 18 years. He has also built several other performance 300ZX cars. However, the last motor rebuild was done by Custom Concept Motorsports when i redesigned their website. This car was converted from an Automatic to a 5 Speed. The car was originally a Twin Turbo. As with the paint, Z1 Motorsports commented on how well everything was put together. After the last round of upgrades were installed and the motor was broken in properly, I took it to Z1 Motorsports where it was tuned and dynoed. There is a low tune and a high tune as detailed below. The tune in the car now is very safe. Z1 had the low tune set at 520hp, but I asked them to dial it back to 500 instead of trying to get the maximum amount of power possible. Therefore, you should be able to have fun driving this car without having to worry about damaging the motor. I also have instructions from Z1 Motorsports about how to set things up for 100 octane fuel. Motor has ~5k miles on it now.
The car is kept in my garage, and while I don't have every receipt, I do have most - espically the more recent ones. The car has not been smoked in, and the interior is in great shape. The seats, steering wheel, shifter, shifter boot, and e-brake boot are all new with red stitching. The radio has been replaced with the Alpine W-927HD unit. This is the new Double DIN unit with bluetooth phone and navigation. There is also a backup camera installed with the radio as well. Also installed is an Apline type-R 10" subwoofer in a z-enclosure box with custom bracket so it does not slide around in the back. Power locks were added and there are two remotes. There are no issues with the transmission or any other part of the drive train and the A/C works great. The car does need a new clutch, and there is a very slight power steering leak.

Nissan pokes fun at Tesla's New Jersey woes, then deletes Tweet
Tue, Mar 18 2014Ever have one of those moments when you release something out onto Twitter, only to think better of it a little while later and reach for that garbage can icon? If so, you are not alone. In fact, you're in the company of a certain Japanese automaker, who recently joined the ranks of those who've suffered an embarrassing bout of tweetus deletus. The Nissan Leaf social media team apparently thought it would be amusing to take a light poke at Tesla Motors and its New Jersey dealer fight woes on its Twitter feed and put together the cheeky graphic which you see above. It was originally published on the micro-blogging network accompanied by the text, "It's okay #NewJersey, you can still #GoElectric with the #NissanLEAF #EV." Funny, right? Not to everyone. The image attracted a bit of mild criticism which, to their credit, Nissan responded to saying, "It's all in #EV love." Soon, however, the original image disappeared from the @NissanLEAF feed. Luckily, we saved a copy for your edification. Rob Robinson, senior specialist of social communications for Nissan, told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf Twitter account is run by an agency, and that the tweet in question, "Was not a tweet that was reviewed or approved by Nissan. We saw it and asked them to take it down." As for the reasoning, Robinson said that, "We thought it was a discussion we didn't need to be weighing in on." While we can see the Nissan point of view, we also appreciate the attempt at being irreverent. Anything to break up the monotony of the stale toast the account usually offers up – "What would you nickname your Nissan Leaf if it was Ocean Blue?" which is the last undeleted Tweet available on the feed, as of this writing. We actually applaud the intention of the Tesla post. It all makes us wonder, though, if the social media team over there isn't in need of a little input on how they might improve its outreach. Since we know our readers are not shy in offering suggestions, we ask you to leave your thoughts and ideas for them in the Comments.
Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014
"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines

2014 Nissan Versa Note
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The original Austin Mini was not designed as a fun-to-drive, sporty small car. Its go-kart-like handling and general chuckability were an unintended byproduct of essential aspects of its design. Its four wheels were pushed to the absolute corners of the car to maximize interior space, and its front-wheel-drive layout and transversely mounted engine were in contrast to the rear-wheel-drive, longitudinal layouts of the day.
The result was a highly economical car with space for four and some luggage that just happened to be an absolute hoot to drive. Nissan has followed a similar path in the design of its Versa Note, which strives to provide the maximum amount of space and efficiency in a minimal footprint. On this front, it's successful.
First, we must salute Nissan for departing from the styling of the malformed kidney bean it calls the Versa Sedan. The Versa Note is a fashionably conservative design that neither offends nor excites. The front fascia is arguably its most conservative point, with high-mounted headlights and a sharper, cleaner version of Nissan's familial grille. The tail, with its funky I-don't-know-what-shape-I-am taillights contributes most of the car's flair. The large, spacious greenhouse, particularly up front, keeps passengers from feeling hemmed-in while letting in plenty of light.
