Low Miles Stock Original Beautiful 5 Speed T-tops Runs/drives Like New Time Warp on 2040-cars

One-of-a-kind, female school teacher owned (1985-2001), collector owned (2001-2013), completely stock, original, meticulously maintained, highly-optioned, great driving 1985 Nissan 300ZX with only 91,000 original miles, a perfect Carfax, and the very desirable 5 speed manual transmission. I'm a Z fan from way back who cut his teeth on 240Z's from the early 1970's. I cannot get over what a tight, smooth, civilized driver this Z is. It makes my old stuff (as cool as they were) feel like a Model T. I'm the Ebay go-to guy among my circle of friends and my buddy Brett has asked me to sell it for him.

When the collector bought it in 2001, it had less than 69,000 miles on the odometer. To bring it up to his very high standard, he immediately had the following work done whether it needed it or not:

* Keyless remotes installed in doors
* Four wheel alignment 
* Replaced right rear control arm
* Replaced both front ball joints
* Replaced left front tie-rod end
* Flushed and changed radiator coolant
* Installed new spark plug wire set
* Replaced fan belts
* Replaced timing belt
* Replaced timing belt tensioner and spring
* Installed Alpine stereo (stock stereo is included)
* Replaced oil pressure sending unit
* Replaced emergency brake cable
* Replaced rack and pinion
* Completed injector recall
* Replaced air flow meter
* Installed MagnaFlow exhaust system (sounds wonderful)

He only drove it 14,000 miles in 12 years. At 83,000 miles he had the differential and transmission serviced with Red Line fluids. All oil changes have been done with Castrol GTX 10-40 and K&N oil filters (extra filters included). And the alternator and battery have been replaced in the last 6 months. Right now, all it needs are hood struts. I may have them by auction end. In my opinion (and I'm a hard-core car guy), this beautiful 300ZX is virtually mechanically perfect and runs and drives like a new car. It really has to be driven to be believed. And there are zero leaks underneath (see pics).

The interior is excellent. Everything works properly (even the cruise control and electric mirrors). AC was converted to R134a in 2006 and works great. Doors open and close with a solid thud and no rattling. Dash is perfect with no cutting or butchery of any kind. All gauges work. And again, the original stereo (not installed) is included in the sale. Only visible flaws are two small cracks; one on the driver side door pull and one on the passenger side rear panel (see pics). And it looks like a liquid spilled long ago on the removable panel in the driver side rear corner below the tool container. I can see pretty obvious evidence of touch-up (see pics).

Exterior looks equally great. It had a very high-quality respray in the original color sometime around the turn of the century. It was done shortly before the collector bought it. He kept it in a garage under a cover so the paint quality has remained excellent other than a few small road nicks on the front. T-Tops are in great shape and look like they were rarely removed. They come with removable sun shades and factory protective covers (see pics). Goodyear American Eagle tires are also in great condition and wearing evenly. Underneath, I was able to find one rust spot just in front of the driver side inner fender (see pics), which is impressive for a 29 year old Nissan.

This is really a sweet Z. So many were modified and beat on that to find one in this condition (especially with the manual transmission and low miles) is a real treat. I hope she finds a home with someone who prizes her originality. Just my two cents. 

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And you may want to consider flying in and driving it home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1985 Nissan 300ZX is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding.

Nissan New Micra headed for Canadian showroom after Montreal reveal?

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Fresh off news that Mitsubishi is bringing a sedan version of its Mirage, called the G4, to this month's Montreal Auto Show, we now believe that another small car will be debuting for our small-car-loving friends to the north. Word is that Nissan will be bringing its compact New Micra to the Canadian show, as well. Slotting in just below the Versa Note hatchback in terms of both size and price, the Montreal debut should be followed up with an on-sale date in short order.
We've been hearing rumors that the New Micra would end up in Canadian dealerships for some time. At every turn, however, we've also heard that the Franco-Japanese hatch is not intended for sale in the US, and nothing in this latest report from Autos.ca would seem to indicate otherwise. As Autoblog sources are quick to point out, Nissan already has one of the least-expensive offerings in the US, the $11,990 Versa Sedan, and the Japanese automaker just doesn't see room underneath it for another model. Sorry, Yank.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling. Read and see more at Car News China. Taxi customers in New York will enjoy greater payment flexibility with the new interoperability between RideLinQ and Way2ride apps. Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.
