1990 Nissan 300zx Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.0l Z32 on 2040-cars
Waterloo, Iowa, United States
|
1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (aka Z32) (aka Fairlady Z) Overall, this car is in very nice condition for a 24 year old car. I purchased this car from my good friend 3 years ago as he soon had children and didn't drive it. I am now finding myself in that boat as my wife and I are expecting and she said I better get something with a back seat. The car currently has 131,900 miles on the odometer. My knowledge on the history of this car starts back in 1998 when my friend purchased it. At that time the car came with a salvage title. I'm not exactly sure what happened to it, but I know the car drives straight and there is no unusual wear on the wheels. The car was completely repainted back in 1999 after being keyed. When they stripped the car, the body shop went through it and found nothing majorly wrong. I have bare metal pictures of the car at the body shop (Polaroid's). My friend thought that it was involved in some insurance fraud case, but that's not certain. The car has the following features:
As mentioned above, the interior was redone in early 2000's. The interior used to be black with white inlays. The interior was changed to all black. The seats, door panels, and center console were redone. There are only issues with the door panels as the passenger door has a few bubbles and the driver's door is pealing (see pictures). This could easily be corrected in an upholstery shop. I just haven't had enough interest to fix it as it's not critical to the function of the car. In early 2000's, my friend rebuild the engine and lowered the compression (for more boost, of course). Upgrades include:
With the upgrades, this car has a lot of power. The car has never been dynoed, but I can assume that the car has somewhere between 450-500 hp based off of similar builds that have been posted online. The car currently has the stock tune and could be retuned for more power. However, for me it runs good enough to make me happy. It does currently run a little rich. Also, I believe the valves will need to be adjusted soon as I'm starting to hear them. Since the rebuild, only Royal Purple full synthetic oil has been used in the engine. The rear differential and transmission currently have Red Line synthetic oil. The car will also come with an assortment of parts including additional stainless lines and AN fittings, extra wiring harness, stock injectors, service cover for the car (covers side fenders and front), FACTORY service manual (aka: the 300ZX bible), timing belt covers (they were removed when the engine was rebuild and never reinstalled), etc. I have most receipts and manuals for the items installed. These cars have been noticed for their power and beauty. Every year from 1990-1996 (last year imported to the US), this car made the "10 best" list by Car and Driver. In 1990 the car was named Motor Trend's "Import Car of the Year," Automobile Magazine named it "Design of the Year," and Road & Track named it "One of the Ten Best Cars in the World." In 2004, Automobile magazine listed the Z32 one of the "100 greatest cars of all time." In 2006, the Z32 was recognized as one of the "20 Greatest Cars of the Past 20 years" and the one of the "25 Most Beautiful Cars in History." Car is sold "as is." The car runs well and has never left me stranded. It is, however, a 20+ year old car. It should also be noted that the rear key for the hatch does not work, but the hatch can be opened by the hatch lever by the driver's seat. I've tried my best to explain the car, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. |

These 'blind' automotive world record stunts have to stop
Wed, Dec 7 2016Drivers setting world records "blind" – wearing a blindfold or with something obscuring the windshield – is the new thing for some reason. First it was an Alfa Romeo Giulia setting a blind lap at Silverstone with help from a spotter trailing behind, and now this: a stunt man doing a J-turn within a narrow path with nothing but a Nissan Juke's cameras guiding him. He matched the "sighted" J-turn record, flipping the car around in a space about 7 inches longer than the car. I have two issues with these stunts. First, there are just too many world records. Yeah, I said it. Are these meaningful? Is someone else likely to ever attempt this feat? No, because it's just marketing, both for the manufacturer and whoever's still trying to sell those annual books. Stuff like the fastest production car is fine with me. Heck, I'll even take unofficial Nurburgring times – the kind where the drivers can actually see. Second, I'm all for stunts, but do something cool! And preferably something that could only be performed with that particular car, if you're going to make an ad out of it. Yes, the Juke has an Around View Monitor system, which stitches together feeds from four cameras to make it look like the car is being filmed by a drone hovering overhead. I happen to love 360-degree cameras – they let you see things that are just not visible from the driver's seat and make parking and low-speed maneuvering really easy. But the Juke isn't the first car to offer one, and the feature isn't even new to the car. Nissan was at least forthright enough to admit that this professional driver (on a closed course!) had a bunch of practice. But this really says more about his precision driving skills than about the car, or the camera. And just so we're clear, you really shouldn't try to park a car without looking out the windows, even if you have fancy cameras. So what's next? Pretty soon there will be a record for blindest blind stunt. Let me know when someone actually does something interesting. Related Video:
Nissan Leaf EVs slip through French village to make a quiet point
Thu, May 1 2014Bjork's 1995 freak-out hit It's Oh So Quiet may have reflected the singer's oddball Icelandic sensibilities, but Nissan is making the concept of relative silence a French thing. The Japanese automaker recently promoted its all-electric Leaf by staging a mini-rally through what it called "one of the quietest villages in Europe." And with the exception of a couple damaged trash bins and a destroyed rear-view mirror from an old-school archway, the race kept the drivers wide awake but everyone in the Southern French village in Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur sleeping. Nissan sent four vehicles on a five-kilometer jaunt through the village in the wee morning hours. Screeching tires and a couple booms notwithstanding, the company said everyone in town stayed snoozing. There was a broader purpose to this exercise, of course, which Nissan blatantly admits was a stunt. Nissan was helping celebrate 19th Annual International Noise Awareness Day (INAD), which took place on Wednesday and highlighted the emotional and health issues as well as high blood pressure and insomnia caused by excessive exposure to noise.

NISSAN LEAF CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL NOISE AWARENESS DAY WITH A NIGHTTIME "SILENT RIDE" ROLLE, Switzerland – To mark the 19th annual International Noise Awareness Day (INAD), Nissan has taken to the streets of one of Europe's quietest villages during the middle of the night with a silent "ride" of its 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF. The activity, complete with a start and finish line in Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur, was designed to demonstrate the noise reduction levels of the Zero Emissions car compared to traditional combustion engines. The World Health Organization (WHO) states at least 13.5 percent of Europeans are exposed to road traffic noise at levels exceeding 55 dB, which is considered detrimental to human health*. The medical effects of noise levels include insomnia (50dB), obesity (50dB), psychic disorders (60dB) and reduction in life expectancy (50dB)*. As a result, Nissan has filmed a 'silent ride' to help support INAD in raising awareness about noise pollution levels across Europe.
Nissan testing experimental dealer with no desks or offices
Wed, 26 Mar 2014Nissan thinks it has found a better way to sell cars, and it involves stripping showrooms of everything but the cars and sales team. The brand calls the experiment the Nissan New Retail Concept, and it might get tested in the US in a few years.
The concept is relatively simple. Showrooms ditch offices, reception counters, cubicles and desks. Instead salespeople walk around inside and outside the dealer with mobile devices to assist customers and even complete sales. Associates are trained to take immediate responsibility for each visitor they encounter. For example, if owners comes inside with a problem with their vehicle, the employee escorts them to the service department and introduces them.
A dealer in London has been testing the new layout for the last nine months, and so far it reports better customer satisfaction, loyalty and most importantly higher sales. Nissan next plans to launch test stores in Moscow and Stuttgart. Then it will broaden out to more of Western Europe and finally will be tested in the Japan, the US and the Middle East, according to Automotive News.
