**** Stillen Supercharged 04 350z****** on 2040-cars
Hercules, California, United States
Here is your opportunity to own one of the hottest Z-Cars on the road! This 2004 Nissan 350Z Roadster got shipped from new mexico. Previous "First" owner had STILLEN (Steve Millen Motorsports in Costa Mesa, California) tune the car and add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger to Nissan's acclaimed VQ-series alloy V-6. Total investment: over $63,000.
With only a little over 48,000 miles on it, it runs as smoothly as the day it left STILLEN's tuning shop, and would make an excellent daily driver. Unlike many performance cars, it is not the least bit delicate or finicky... it wants to be driven! To this day, this superb automobile elicits approving comments wherever it goes, and has been featured in photo shoots as well as seen in a motion picture The car started life as a stock '04 Nissan 350Z Roadster, with automatic transmission and the "Touring" package (with optional "Z" logo floor and trunk carpet mats). It included the black fabric power top, heated seats, CD/Cassette/Radio BOSE sound system with subwoofer, and leather-trimmed interior with orange stitching on the seats, which compliments the factory "Le Mans Sunset" metallic paint. It also has HID headlamps, and LED taillights. To this the master mechanics of STILLEN - Steve Millen Motorsports of Costa Mesa, California - add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger. BTW, Steve Millen was Nissan's factory race car driver for many years, so he and his team know the Z-Car quite well. His mechanics also added their proprietary intake with K&N rechargeable air filter, performance pulleys, additional ground wires on the engine, an intercooler for the supercharger, extended oil pan with large sump (to minimize cavitation during hard cornering), lower-temperature engine thermostat for better performance in warmer climates, their own stainless steel exhaust system (which, under acceleration, produces a tone reminiscent of a Formula One racer), adjustable anti-sway bars front and rear, upgraded transmission (in order to better deal with the increased horsepower and torque), ground effects body kit (painted in the factory "Le Mans Sunset" color), a real carbon fiber hood to accommodate the supercharger, and a rear-deck spoiler. The car has been run on full-synthetic Mobil-1 oil since purchased. Also added, at a later date, were 19" SSR Semi-Solid Forged Racing light alloy wheels (wider in the rear), and Racing Brake 4-pot disc brake calipers front and rear, with two-piece rotors all around (drilled and slotted in the front; slotted only in the rear). The interior had real aluminum trim added to the factory trim pieces.The car is currently equipped with General all-season performance tires (they offer fine wet-weather traction) that have slightly over 4,000 miles on them. Also driver side rear wheel has been replaced with the brand new matching wheel (see picture) Being nine years old, there are some very minor paint chips and scratches, but, as you can see from the photos, nothing at all which detracts from the car's general appearance. The interior leather trim is also in very good shape, as well. So, how does this car perform? One word: AMAZING. Just depress the accelerator, and feel the supercharger surge! Unlike a turbocharger, the supercharger kicks-in from the get go, providing it's power boost from idle through redline. And the handling? If this car doesn't make you smile through the twisties, nothing will! It sticks like glue. This Z makes you want to seek-out mountain roads. |

Nissan, Mahindra may bond over EVs
Tue, Apr 22 2014Like Lloyd in Dumb & Dumber rejoicing that he's got a "one out of a million" chance with Mary Swanson, electric-vehicle advocates in India can do the same. That's because both local automaker Mahindra and Japan-based Nissan say they would consider working together to promote EVs in that country. Executives with Nissan and Mahindra, which makes the Reva e2o EV, independently told Autocar Professional that they would consider collaborating with the other company in order to speed up plug-in vehicle adoption in India. Nissan, which already works with companies such as Honda, Mitsubishi and Toyota to various degrees, said this collaboration would most likely revolve around electric-vehicle charging infrastructure advancements, a move that obviously helps all plug-in vehicles. Of course, nothing official has been announced. Last March, the Mahindra Reva e2o, which costs the equivalent of about $11,000, went on sale in India, with the company estimating at the time that it could manufacture 30,000 of the electric vehicles each year. In February, Mahindra debuted two electric cars at the New Delhi Auto Show, including the Mahindra Reva Halo EV concept sports car and the Mahindra Racing Formula E electric race car. The following month, India's Financial Express reported that Mahindra was targeting Sri Lanka and Norway for e2o sales. That car has a 62-mile single-charge range and a top speed of about 60 miles per hour.

Chip shortage will hit Nissan, Suzuki and Mitsubishi in June
Sat, May 22 2021TOKYO — A global chip shortage is forcing Nissan and Suzuki to temporarily halt production at some plants in June, sources with direct knowledge of the plans told Reuters on Friday. Nissan will idle its factory in Kyushu, southern Japan, for three days on June 24, 25 and 28, while making production adjustments during the month at its Tochigi and Oppama plants in Japan, three sources said. Nissan will also temporarily halt production of some of its models at its Mexico plant, they said, declining to be identified because the plan is not public. "A global shortage of semiconductors has affected parts procurement in the auto sector. Due to the shortage, Nissan is adjusting production and taking necessary actions to ensure recovery," a Nissan spokeswoman said. Suzuki will idle its three plants in Shizuoka prefecture from three to nine days, two sources said, also declining to be identified because the plan is not public. The plan "has not been confirmed," a Suzuki spokesman said, explaining that while the carmaker gave its provisional production plan to auto part makers, it is still making adjustments to minimize the impact of the chip shortage. Elsewhere, Mitsubishi will reduce production by 30,000 vehicles in total in June at five plants in Japan, Thailand and Indonesia, a spokeswoman said, adding that the impact has already been factored into its earnings outlook for the current fiscal year.

2015 Nissan Murano could have been a lot more boring to look at
Thu, 19 Jun 2014When it debuted at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the third-generation Nissan Murano wowed us more than just about any other car on hand (that's sort of why we handed it an Editors' Choice for the NYIAS). It's sharp, aggressive design was a dramatic departure from the smoother styling of the second-gen CUV, although it wasn't too polarizing. Most importantly, though, it was a vehicle with actual design presence - you want to see it from every angle, all of which draw your eye with something new.
Of course, settling on the design for a new vehicle is far from a straightforward process. While a design might take shape on a designer's drafting table, there are a huge number of steps it needs to get through before making it to an auto show stage or to your local dealer. According to Nissan engineer Chris Reed, those steps very nearly curtailed the Murano's design before the first die was even cast.
Reed has a full account of this sharp design's trials and tribulations in a must-read story from Ward's.
