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.

Ghosn: Restoring Mitsubishi's reputation is biggest challenge
Thu, May 12 2016After news that Mitsubishi falsified its fuel economy data on every vehicle it has sold in Japan since 1991, and the tumble in the company's value that followed, the troubled carmaker has an unlikely savior. Nissan has confirmed it will purchase over one third of Mitsubishi's stock, or 34 percent. The stake is valued at $2.2 billion. Ghosn says making Mitsubishi a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance will save billions in development costs. But the merger certainly isn't without challenges. "The biggest challenge is to support Mitsubishi changing itself and growing and being profitable and restoring its reputation," said Ghosn. Nissan is a natural partner for Mitsubishi, and since the fuel economy scandal escalated from discrepancies in the data regarding Mitsubishi-manufactured, Nissan-badged Japan-market vehicles, it makes sense for the company to sweep in and save the day. Nissan itself is partially owned by Renault, and Nissan has a 15-percent stake in the French automaker. Mitsubishi's chairman, Osamu Masuko says that the merger was inevitable, that it "would have happened one day" anyway, according to the New York Times. Carlos Ghosn, chairman of both Nissan and Renault, is confident they will be able to turn Mitsubishi's fortunes around. "We have the track record to make it work", Ghosn said, referring to the Renault-funded rescue of Nissan in the early 2000s. Related Video:
Mitsubishi cheated on Japanese fuel economy test since 1991
Tue, Apr 26 2016Mitsubishi now says that its cheating on Japanese fuel economy tests stretches as far back as 1991. The automaker has hired an independent panel of investigators to get to the bottom of what happened, and the company will give them three months to prepare a report about the deception. Mitsubishi's cheat involves how the company calculated driving resistance to determine fuel economy. In 1991, Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Act established a coasting test to establish the driving resistance, but Mitsubishi's engineers used their own "high-speed coasting test," according to its statement. In 2007, the company decided to only use the country's mandated evaluation, but the employees kept utilizing the high-speed test in the field. In the most recent scandal, workers selected low values for driving resistance from the results, which made the fuel economy look better. Mitsubishi's presented these details in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. "We are currently investigating the reasoning behind each of the decisions," the company said in a statement. It also hired three former prosecutors to figure out why this happened for so long. At this time, Mitsubishi only confirms the incorrect figures for some of the company's minicars, but this investigation could discover more transgressions. This fiasco started when Nissan discovered fuel economy discrepancies in some of its Mitsubishi-made tiny kei-class cars in Japan. Mitsubishi came clean and admitted the problem affected about 625,000 vehicles in the country. Japanese media have alleged more vehicles have incorrect mileage, including the Outlander. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US has also requested data from the Japanese automaker to confirm similar deceptions didn't happen for vehicles here.

Recharge Wrap-up: Fiat 500X emissions, Japan EV sales down
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Fiat 500X exceeds EU emissions limits, according to environmental lobby group DUH. In dyno tests, DUH found NOx emissions in the diesel-powered 500X to be 11 to 20 times the limit with a warm engine, but closer to the limit with a cold engine. Testing of vehicles from Fiat and other automakers "point towards defeat devices," says DUH campaigner Axel Friedrich. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) offered no comment in response to the accusations. Read more from Reuters. A UK study finds that about 20 percent of the benefits from fuel efficient vehicles are negated by a tendency for people to drive them more. The study, which covers the years 1970 to 2011, finds a significant "rebound effect," when consumers use more of a cheaper energy source. It suggests these drivers drive more not because of the fuel efficiency, but because of the lower operating costs. "Until now, we didn't know the size of this effect for British motoring," says Dr. Lee Stapleton, Research Fellow for the University of Sussex Centre on Innovation and Energy Demand. "We found evidence of a significant, long-term rebound and expect our results to be of interest for public policy." Read more at Green Car Congress. Japanese EV sales have declined for the first time ever. Sales of electric vehicles slid 22 percent in 2015, leaving them at the same levels as 2012. Low gasoline prices are to blame, as well as the late arrival of the updated Nissan Leaf, which caused potential customers to hold off on their purchase. This allowed the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to take the lead as Japan's best selling EV. The Toyota Prius Plug-In came in third place in EV sales, with the BMW i3 close on its heels.
