Welcome!  This listing is for a 2012 Nissan 370Z Touring + Sport + 6MT.  The car has only 1,500 miles on the odometer!  I am the first and only owner with title in hand and no lien on the vehicle.  Over the past year, I have put a lot of TLC into the car, resulting in what you see before you.  Many modifications have been made for looks, sound, comfort, convenience, performance, and handling.  In addition, the car has been maintained fastidiously over the past year.  It has never been raced or abused.  I have a thick folder full of every title, maintenance, and modification document I have received during ownership...I also have all manuals and keys.

Below you will find a list of all the modifications to the car along with purchase prices.  The KBB value of a 2012 370Z Roadster with Touring, Sport, and Navigation packages and 6MT transmission at 1,500 miles in excellent condition is $40,966.  I believe when you see this car you will agree it is in excellent condition.  In pricing the car, I added 1) 90% of the above KBB value, and 2) 70% of the cost of the parts installed.  I am intentionally not including any separately-charged labor costs for installation of these parts, which will save you thousands of dollars.  I assume if you are viewing this listing you are just as in love with sports cars and modding as I am, and appreciate the time, effort, and money required to bring this car from stock to its current, beautiful, and unique state.  You know that there is no other 370Z in the WORLD with the same combination of modifications.

You are considering purchasing this car because 1) you don't have the time and patience to modify a stock 370Z to this degree, 2) you want a good deal, and 3) you believe I am providing you an incredible value and incredible opportunity to own a special 370Z.  This car has been faithfully serviced, with no unexpected or unusual repairs, warranty-covered or otherwise (the vehicle still has the vast majority of its warranty remaining, and if you like, you can purchase separately a pre-paid maintenance plan from your local dealer).  The car has completed its first service, so it is ready to drive!

Please take a look at the modifications listed as well as the pictures I've displayed so that you may have a full understanding of this car before sending me a message or clicking the Buy It Now button.  I truly believe I have priced this car fairly, and look forward to a sale either now or in six months.  All I hope is that the car finds a home with an owner who will pamper her as much as I have...in return, you'll experience lots of smiles over many miles!

As a final note, NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS LISTING/SALE, I have a full set of OEM parts from this 370Z for sale at 70% of total list price, in case you purchase this car, decide one day to return the car to stock form, and sell the aftermarket parts.  If you are interested in these OEM parts, please let me know, and we can discuss a sale separate from this one, which is ONLY for the 370Z described above.

Infiniti teases November debut of new QX55 crossover-coupe

Wed, Aug 5 2020

Infiniti will officially unveil its new QX55 crossover-coupe via social media on Nov. 11, Nissan's luxury subsidiary announced early Wednesday. Infiniti is calling it a return to the segment which the company helped pioneer when it launched the FX crossover back in 2002.  "With a roofline and visual elements inspired by the iconic Infiniti FX, the QX55’s provocative design will fuse the stance and versatility of a premium midsize crossover with the sleek profile of a sports coupe," Infiniti's announcement said. "Beyond its provocative looks, the QX55 will also feature innovative technologies designed to empower, engage and connect luxury customers to the road ahead." The announcement was accompanied by the above teaser image, which depicts the QX55's tapered liftgate. It's quite a bit more conservative than the previously released design sketch suggested, but certainly looks the part.  The QX55 is one of five new vehicles Infiniti plans to launch in the next three years. It was first teased last August during Monterey Car Week. While Infiniti has been leaning heavily on the heritage of the original FX (which later became the QX70) since releasing that first design sketch, the QX55 will actually have little in common with its spiritual ancestor. While they may share fastback SUV looks, the QX55 will be based on the QX50 — a modern, front-wheel-drive crossover with small, efficient engines. The FX was derived from Infiniti's sport sedans and coupes, and even boasted a V8 option for much of its existence. Production of the new crossover-coupe was slated to begin in June, but was reportedly pushed back due to complications at its production facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The facility is a joint-venture project between Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler and Nissan, and produces several other front- and all-wheel-drive vehicles for both companies.  Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Spitballs flying between Nissan and Fiat

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

At the 2012 LA Auto Show, Fiat brand chief and recently crowned marketing genius, Olivier François, attempted to distance the Fiat 500e from other electric vehicles, asking rhetorically, "Isn't ugliness the worst kind of pollution?" Nissan has apparently taken issue with these comments, feeling slighted for what it considers digs at the Leaf's styling. In a recent interview with Automotive News, Nissan's marketing chief Simon Sproule shot back, "Let's face it, Fiat has not shied away from controversial styling themselves," he continued, "many would describe many of their products as visual pollution." Ouch.
Sproule says that while the 500e is a "me-too" product, made only to appease US emissions regulations, the Leaf is a serious effort at producing an EV. The Nissan marketing boss points out that the Japanese automaker has invested billions in EV development and production facilities, while Fiat will lose $10,000 on every 500e sold.
However sales of the Leaf in the US are down five percent. Nissan sold just 8,330 Leaf's so far this year, but Sproule contends that it has less to do with styling, and more with the charging infrastructure. Sproule also thinks that Nissan hit a balance between styling and practicality with the Leaf: "It's still very recognizable as a five-seat hatchback, fully functioning, absolutely competitive with the packaging of the Golf of any other mainstream vehicle." For a segment where efficiency is king, isn't that what matters most?

Infiniti's new VC-T changes the rules of small turbocharged engines

Sun, Aug 14 2016

The upcoming Infiniti QX50 crossover does not get our pulse racing, no matter how shapely the QX Sport Inspiration concept that previews it may be. No midsize SUV does, to be fair. But it has something special under the hood – the world's first production variable-compression-ratio engine. That means the QX50's 2.0-liter turbo four, which makes 268 horsepower and 288 pound-feet of torque, will have up to 27 percent better fuel economy. Here's how it works. The trend of moving to smaller, turbocharged engines carries with it one big falsehood. Under low load when the turbo isn't needed, these engines are less efficient than an equivalent engine without a turbo because of the low compression ratio the turbo requires. That is, if you never need the extra power, you're wasting fuel. Turbocharged (and supercharged) engines use a lower compression ratio to prevent detonation. When you force extra air in a cylinder and mix it with fuel, it's more likely to prematurely go boom. Lowering the compression ratio prevents this problem, but it's less efficient. Infiniti's VC-T promises the best of both worlds, with a compression ratio that ranges from 8.0:1 for high-power turbo needs to a 14.0:1 ratio for fuel-sipping efficiency. At its heart the VC-T engine is a simple idea, but it's complicated to explain. Consider yourself warned. The photo below from Infiniti serves as a good visual overview. For the truly nerdy, this patent application covers the mechanical concept. Instead of having the pistons connected to the crankshaft, Infiniti's engine has a pivot arm with a connection on each end. One end connects to the piston, the other connects to a second lower shaft, which is controlled by an actuator arm. At any given time the engine's pistons move up and down according to the lobes on the crankshaft. But the actuator arm can change the angle of the pivot arm up and down. That is, the pistons still move in the same motion with the same stroke, but phase the entire stroke up or down. Move the pivot up and there's less room at the top, which means a higher compression ratio. Move the pivot down and the compression ratio goes down, too. As an added bonus, the lower shaft eliminates the need for counter-rotating balance shafts. Infiniti says this system works constantly and can vary the compression ratio to any number between 8:1 and 14:1. It also uses electronic variable valve timing on the intake valves to switch into Atkinson-cycle combustion for greater efficiency.
