Ok this is the story........

This was my sister's truck.

My sister leased this truck in December of 2005 out of Los Angeles, California.....title actually says Hollywood California.....

When her lease was up, she bought the truck.....she loves this truck....she actually is sick about selling it and doesn't even want me to talk about it...

I had the same truck except it was a 2001.....she loved that truck so much that she went and got the same truck except is was a 2005.

She and her friends would go snowboarding in the mountains...Bear Mountain I believe it is called. It is for that reason she added the hard cover, lockabletonneau cover....they could lock their snowboards in there....

My sister is 100 lbs.....the front seat is like it has never been sat in.....

The reason the truck has 150,000 miles on it is because she lived in California. To drive a hundred miles a day in that city is nothing.....anyone who has experience in California knows that everything is 40 miles away...

She also worked for Universal Studios and in the movie business they take off the last two weeks of the year....

She and her boyfriend.....now husband would get in the car every Christmas break and drive cross country to Columbus, Ohio for the holidays and then drive back to LA to go back to work.

In 2011 she was accepted to Ohio State for graduate school so she moved back to Columbus to live with my parents while she finished school. I drove the truck from LA to Columbus while her and her husband drove the moving truck......it drove 80 miles an hour across the country driving with my pinky finger......it is as smooth as they get....

While the car was in Columbus it was parked in my parents garage when it was not in use.....

My point here is that this truck lived in California all of its life until 2011 when it went to Ohio and was garaged.....when you look at the pictures you will see.....it is MINT......no salt....no damages from the harsh Ohio weather.....no rust whatsoever.......it is a California car...

You will not find a car in this shape in Ohio unless you are buying it Brand New......

The truck is immaculate and in Perfect Running Condition....

Ok....so that is the back story......here is the story of the service that has been done...

It has been kept in perfect running condition its whole life....here is the service that has been done...

The 2003,2004,2005 Nissan Fronteirs, Xterras, and Pathfinders all had the same automatic transmissions and that being said.....all the same transmission problem...

The automatic transmission in this truck is cooled by the radiator.....there was a flaw in the system where basically a seal would give way and the transmission fluid and the anti-freeze would mix and slowly kill the transmission....

My understanding was that Nissan tried to sweep this under the rug as much as possible because it was usually only happening well after 100,000 miles......they fixed the design flaw in the 2006 and newer models.....

Well at 140,000 my sister's transmission went and that is how we found out about this situation.....

My sister being a student right now didn't have the money to fix it and decided to lease a cheap car..

I knew what kind of shape this truck was in and that it was worth fixing.....so I bought it from her....I decided to put the money into to make it perfect again simply because it was in such pristine condition.

This is what I did.....

I had the truck towed by flatbed to Ben at Enhanced Transmissions in Cleveland.....Ben is the best in the city.....he is a race car mechanic that specializes in transmissions.....he was well aware of the problem Nissan had with these model years and had rebuilt many of these transmissions....

He completely rebuilt the transmission and installed the updates that Nissan made to correct the problem....so the transmission is completely rebuilt and works flawlessly......he also said he would transfer the warranty as long as he is the only one who works on the truck if there are ever any problems for 25,000 miles or two years...

So, it has a brand new transmission.....

Then, the gas gauge was not working.....the sensor was on the fuel pump....I could have just fixed that and called it a day, but while we were in there I figured the fuel pump is original...we might as well replace it...so we did

So...it has a brand new fuel pump....

Next, the engine light was on......can't pass the AIM test in Cleveland with that right?......So, the diagnostic tests showed it had bad catalytic converters.....so I replaced them....they are brand new....no engine light now....

So, it has brand new catalytic converters.....

Next, the CD player was broken......so I pulled the whole stereo......replaced it with a brand new Pioneer from Best Buy.....Geek Squad installed........it has blue-tooth so that you can answer your phone through the stereo and play songs from your phone......it also has a remote control for tailgating...and a 3.5 mm jack so that you can plug it directly into your phone....it is brand new.....about a week old....

So, it has a brand new stereo, with blue-tooth....it is mint...

Tires? They are brand new as you will see in the pictures.....my sister bought them less than 6 months ago...

Ok....what about the timing chain? It was replaced at 95,000 miles......she was paranoid and decided to have it done even though she was having no problems.......her mechanic replaced it, but said that once he got in there, there was nothing wrong with it....but it has been done so you can cross that one off your list...

So, timing chain was done recently.....

How is the interior? Like no one has really ever sat in it.....look at the pictures....it is beautiful....

Ok so how is the motor? Well it is the 270 horse power V-6, has had regular oil changes and quite frankly runs like a bat out of hell......

I drove it home the other day from the car wash and I looked down and had no idea that I was going 90 miles an hour....it is as smooth as my Cadillac.....

It is also tough not to peel out from stop lights because it simply has so much power......270 horses is a lot of motor for that truck.....it is FAST...

Brakes? Work perfectly.....

4 wheel drive? Works perfectly.....

Tow hitch......Has it....you will see it in the pictures.....

Ok, so I did all the updates and work on this very, very clean truck.....and I am thinking about keeping it to be honest.....but if I am going to part with it....

I want $14,500....I am pretty firm on this price with all I have listed above.....low ballers, don't waste your time....I will keep it...

You simply will not find this truck in Cleveland unless you buy it brand new.....and that will cost you around $35,000 out the door....

It has never towed anything......never hauled a load of dirt or rocks......never plowed snow......it has had a pretty easy life...

Whoever gets this truck is going to be very happy and need to do absolutely nothing to this truck.....it is in Perfect Running Condition....leaks Nothing......No Dash Lights Are On....ITS IS MINT! 

You can look at a video on you tube at ......................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEJEVYbvnLY

Also e-mail me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly......

Thank you for your time.

Nissan reveals updated 2015 370Z Nismo among the faithful

Fri, 16 May 2014

Well before quick Honda Si models of the '80s or the performance juggernaut that the Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7 became in the 90s, the Datsun 240Z was an early stake in the ground for Japanese sports cars. It was affordable, but the original Z-car was also a capable coupe that could show its tail to European and American rivals. Today, Nissan celebrates the car each year with fellow enthusiasts at its ZDAYZ event, and this year in North Carolina, it's surprising fans by launching the 2015 370Z Nismo there with some significant upgrades.
The biggest change is that the 370Z Nismo is available with a seven-speed automatic transmission for the first time. The six-speed manual is still standard, of course. But for those who don't want to use a clutch, Nissan is offering the new automatic with Downshift Rev Matching and a manual mode via paddle shifters. Power is still provided by the same 3.7-liter V6 as last year, producing 350 horsepower and 276 pound-feet of torque with a limited-slip differential at the back for added traction.
This hottest 370Z model also receives a brand-new GT-R-inspired bodykit that features a deeper front fascia, LED running lights and blacked-out headlight bezels. It also sports a new chin spoiler bearing the Nismo emblem and red accents that flow from the front, down the side sills and all the way to the rear bumper. At the back, there is also a smaller ducktail spoiler for a more mature look. The 2015 also wears cool 19-inch forged aluminum wheels by Rays with a new twin-spoke design and charcoal finish. Compared to last year's model, it's a much more mature-looking coupe.

Cadillac tops Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-automated driving test

Thu, Oct 4 2018

General Motors' Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports and released on Thursday. The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from appliances to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo. Nissan's ProPilot Assist was ranked third and Volvo's Pilot Assist fourth. Consumer Reports said it has been testing partially automated driving systems for several years but elected to conduct a formal study intended for publication, because "we are at a tipping point where they are now going mainstream," according to Jake Fisher, director of auto testing. The organization said its tests, conducted on a private track and on public roads in Connecticut, were designed to measure the systems' ability to automatically control steering and speed in certain situations, while helping drivers pay attention and regain manual control of the vehicle when required. CR noted that any of these systems can increase driving risk if used in inappropriate situations, or if drivers become inattentive or over-reliant on them. While they can help relieve driver stress and fatigue, Consumer Reports said, the partially automated systems are "not intended to be self-driving features." The systems typically use cameras, radar and other sensors, as well as mapping data, to monitor location and traffic conditions and help keep a vehicle centered in the lane at a safe distance behind other cars. Each system has limitations. Cadillac's Super Cruise, for instance, only functions on divided highways that have been mapped by GM. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot can be used even on small, curvy roads with poor lane markings, but "operates erratically in those situations," Consumer Reports said.The organization tested Super Cruise on the Cadillac CT6; Autopilot on the Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model S; ProPilot Assist on the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti QX50; and Pilot Assist on the Volvo XC40 and XC60. Consumer Reports said Cadillac's Super Cruise did "the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring the car is operated safely and the driver is paying attention." Tesla's Autopilot was cited for its capability and ease of use, while Nissan's ProPilot Assist did a better job than Autopilot or Volvo's Pilot Assist in keeping drivers engaged.

Should you buy an EV?

Mon, Aug 17 2015

Gas prices are hitting the skids and EVs are following suit; nearly every model in today's market has experienced a double-digit decline in sales – with the always notable exception of the Tesla Model S. Some EVs are in the last year of their generation while others have been half-heartedly designed and engineered to fulfill federal government quotas. The two non-Tesla front runners, the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, are in the unfortunate position of offering customers "2015" vehicles that were designed with 2011 in mind. Yet there's plenty of love in the air. Nissan has built over 180,000 Leafs worldwide, and chances are you will be seeing a second electric vehicle accompanying the Leaf when the new generation is released in the coming months. The Chevy Volt now offers the highest customer satisfaction out of any car or truck sold in North America. Forget the luxury cars, the sports cars, the family trucksters, and even the rolling flagship that guides Tesla's jaw dropping valuation on Wall Street. You want happy with your EV? The brand that's rocking the segment right now is Chevy. It's been doing so for a while. The EV market is poised to become a lot more sophisticated over the next 18 months with the three leading manufacturers – Tesla, General Motors, and Nissan – launching five brand new models along with no fewer than 16 other manufacturers making many of their bread and butter cars available as plug-in hybrids. So, if you want to keep your money as far away from the Arab dictatorships and Russian mafia as Mercury is from Pluto, and enjoy your commute, we're more than ready to do our part! So let's begin with the most important question. What's Your Range? How much driving do you generally do in a day? If the answer to that question is 50 miles or fewer, an all-electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf may be the best ingredient for your driving recipe. This is especially true if you have a second vehicle you can use for the occasional longer drive or are willing to rent for the weekend. But here's a little surprise for you. The upcoming Chevy Volt was designed to be driven in all-electric mode for over 50 miles. Fifty-three, to be exact. Plus, the Volt's battery has experienced a lot fewer deterioration issues than the Nissan Leaf's due in part to the Volt's liquid-cooled battery, which also uses a lot less of its capacity than the air-cooled Leaf's does.
