87 300zx Z31 Turbo 5sp Rust Free! on 2040-cars
Danbury, Connecticut, United States
|
Vehicle up for bid is a 1987 300zx Turbo. This Z is in excellent condition and is nearly rust-free, almost impossible to find at this age. This car has been in my possession for over a year and I am the third owner AFAIK. Car drivers down the road straight and is tight and responsive. The interior is mint with no rips or wear on the seats, carpet is clean and free from stains, dash is perfect without warping or damage, doorpanels are the nicest I've seen ... also appears to have been a smoke-free car. Paints shines nicely and body is very straight, trim is all present. There are a few minor dings and scratches consistent with its age but overall the car presents itself very well. I have personally done all maintenance and repairs on this car and have tried my best to ensure it remains reliable and fun to drive for years to come. Here is a list of repair/replaced/refurbished items:
1) Timing belt/tensioner/Cylinder Head Temp Sensor (CHTS) & subharness 2) water pump/hoses/coolant/thermostat 3) alt/ps/AC belts 4) Clutch master & slave cylinders & DOT4 fluid 5) pads/rotors front & rear, entire brake system bled with fresh DOT4 fluid 6) differential and transmission fluid changed (Synchromesh in tranny, Mobil1 75-90 in diff) 7) plugs/cap/rotor/wires/ 8) oil changed 9) polyurethane sway bar bushings front & rear 10) 3" turbo back exhaust terminating to a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler, throaty & mellow with no drone or raspiness 11) shocks/struts replace with KYB's by previous owner cosmetic/electrical: 1) aftermarket steering wheel 2) aftermarket shift knob 3) faux suede headliner 4) ADR M-Sport wheels with new 235/45/17 tires 5) decent pioneer CD headunit with aftermarket speakers 6) new headlight switch 7) boost gauge installed in place of center pod, works well (set at 7/8 psi for safe yet effective performance gain) Needs: 1) AC/blower doesn't work (didn't fix because...... T-tops) 2) haven't figured how to hook up horn with new steering wheel. Will come with old wheel if you prefer... 3) driver fog light bulb 4) headlight motors tempermental, did headlight-down mod to alleviate problem 5) burns a little oil, could use new valve seals. Motor runs perfectly otherwise. This car has very few needs and could easily be a great daily driver with a bit of work. It is extremely difficult to find a Z31 with no rust and this car is as close as you can get. The only rust present is a tiny spot just below the pass taillights (will update ad with pic). The quarters and undercarriage are all totally rust free. Fenders and rocker panels are totally rust free. Crossmember mounting points and unibody frame rails are totally rust free. There is a bit of surface rust under the tool kit, it is not structural and has not perforated the metal. Car is located in lower Westchester County in Yonkers, NY and can either be picked up in person or I can assist in loading onto the carrier of your choice. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction's end and the remainder to be paid within 10 days via paypal or certified bank check. Cash upon pickup in person is welcome, of course. Any questions please feel free to ask, I will answer as best and as promptly as I can. Car may be viewed locally with appointment. Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. Good luck and thanks for looking! ***I will be away on a family vacation from 15th to the 18th which may cause a slight delay in communications*** |

Check out Nissan's clever digital Smart Rearview Mirror
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Using cameras in place of a car's rearview mirrors has long been a feature of pie-in-the-sky concept cars, although so far, it's failed to translate into the world of production vehicles. Nissan is looking to change that, though, with its new Smart Rearview Mirror.
With a flick of a switch, drivers can jump back and forth between what they'd normally see through the rearview mirror and the camera's feed from the back of the car.
The Smart Rearview Mirror blends everything we know about traditional reflective glass mirrors with a video feed from the rear of the car into a form factor that's immediately recognizable to the average motorist. With a flick of a switch, drivers can jump back and forth between what they'd normally see through the rearview mirror and the camera's feed from the back of the car. The mirror itself features an integrated LCD display with a four-to-one aspect ratio.
2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid arrives with supercharged engine, 26 mpg combined
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Nissan just launched the fully redesigned Pathfinder for the 2013 model year, and now, there's a fuel-sipping hybrid version making its debut here at the New York Auto Show. The 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid packs all of the same features found in the standard crossover, but offers slightly better fuel economy and an improved cruising range, to boot.
The new hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter supercharged engine (we're assuming it's a four-cylinder, though Nissan hasn't specified) coupled with a lithium-ion battery and 15-kilowatt electric motor, capable of producing 250 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque - 10 less horsepower but three more pound-feet than the standard V6 Pathfinder. Nissan says the hybrid crossover will be rated at 25/27 miles per gallon (city/highway), with a 26-mpg combined rating. This means that on a full tank, the cruising range of the Pathfinder Hybrid is a cool 526 miles.
What's cool about the hybrid packaging is that Nissan has managed not to have it interfere with any of the interior functionality - the Pathfinder Hybrid still packs just as much cargo and passenger space as its naturally aspirated sibling. Official pricing has not been announced, but Nissan expects the hybrid to command an additional $3,000 over the standard model.
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
