1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Date of Manufacture: Dec/1989 Color: Metallic Blue /Blue int. AKA “Godzilla”. A name given to these cars by the Australians in 1990. Read more on Wikipedia. A device for shrinking Time and Distance. 68,367 Miles on chassis, 5,718 on rebuilt engine. Engine: RB(Race Breed) 26 DETT. In-line 6 cylinder, 2.6 litre, double overhead cams, pent-headed (similar to a Hemi head), 4 valves per cylinder, twin intercooled turbos (TT).. 5 speed manual, Attessa electronic all- wheel drive, Digital Climate Control (self- diagnostic) air conditioned, all wheel disc brakes with ABS, Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD), Hicas rear wheel steering. Factory GT-R coil struts suspension. N1 front lip with disc brake cooling ducts. Top of the line Alarm and anti-theft system .Original GT-R key! Engine rebuilt at Pro-Power Engines in Saanichton B.C.. Crank was micro-polished and collar for oil pump drive installed. New N1 oil pump and N1 water pump. New ACL race bearings were sent to Calico for their bearing coating to bring crank/bearing clearances back to spec. Rotating assembly was balanced to within 1/10 of a gram. C.P. forged pistons and Manley rods with ARP rod bolts were installed after block was bored .005 over stock to clean all cylinders. The head was machined for trueness, and all 24 valve guides were re-drilled for alignment and new bronze guides were installed. The valves were lapped in. A metal Cometic Head gasket and ARP head studs were used in assembly. Metal Cometic intake gaskets were used. The head intake and exhaust ports were relieved, combustion chambers polished, and the stock exhaust manifolds were ported and relieved to match head. A new timing belt, belt idler and belt tensioner were installed ( Nissan OEM parts). The cost to rebuild one of these engines is close to $10,000. The 6 throttle bodies were all re-sealed, the injectors were cleaned and flow tested. The main body of the intake (plenum) is Powder Coated Blue. The engine has a new water temp sensor, new intake air temp sensor, new throttle positioning sensor, new oil pressure sending unit, 3 new accessory belts, and a new 3” aluminum radiator. Royal purple engine oil and a K&N filter, fresh anti-freeze both done recently. ALL the other gear oils are Red-line synthetic, and recently changed. 2 Greedy/Trust Airlinx muffin type air-filters are used. Stock air box is included. The clutch was just replaced with an A.C.T. Racing clutch, thro-out and pilot bearings, flywheel was resurfaced and new dowels were installed. Fresh NGK Copper plugs recently installed. This engine easily and quickly revs to 8,200 RPM without skipping a beat. The factory boost restrictor was removed by a previous owner, but I’ve installed a new Vibrant Manual Boost Controller. This will increase the boost from the stock7 PSI to a SAFE 12.5 – 13 PSI. The turbos were thoroughly examined for wear and shaft end-play during engine rebuild. They are the stock turbos with the ceramic vanes, NOT safe to run more than 13PSI. New braided re-enforced stainless steel water cooling lines for the turbos were added. I have installed a switch which will turn off the front wheel drive and ABS, for your pre-launch burnouts. The brake pads were replaced with Hawk Street Performance Pads, and the rotors were turned. It has an HKS Super Dragger Stainless Steel Cat-Back exhaust. The Catalytic converter is still in place. There is 90% tread life on the 4 Michelin Pilot Exalto AS 225/50/R16 tires (in storage to prevent flat spotting over the winter).The rims are the factory GT-R ultra-light wheels (Made with Spartan Air).There are front and rear IMPUL strut tower bars (adjustable). Last summer, a 4 wheel alignment was done. It has an Optima Red-Top battery with Gold battery terminals. There is an E-Brake Drift Button installed, but the stock E-Brake handle comes with it. The Coil-pack cover is also included, and is in excellent condition, but the coils last longer without the heat being trapped in by the cover. The only body mod is the very rare TOMEI rear tail light covers. The car also has the rare Skyline floor mats, front rear, and rear hump. The only flaw in the whole interior is the exit side of the driver seat side bolster, very typical due to the height of the side bolsters in these cars. It has a Sony Explode CD player with XFINITY speakers. The exterior original paint is average for a 24 year old car. There is a small dent in the hood, which is aluminum, 2 very small dings in the right side, 2 blemishes on the rear rubber bumper, and the only sign of rust on or under the entire car is showing as blistering the paint in the left rear wheel-well of the quarter panel. I won’t fix it as I’m not trying to hide anything. Photos of these flaws are included here. You must phone me if you want to see more pics. The Speedo has been replaced, as indicated by the Japanese decal in the door jamb on the driver’s side. This was used in calculating the vehicle’s actual mileage when converting the Kilometers to Miles. The car will easily go faster than the speedo’s capable of displaying. The car comes with a binder from the original Japanese owner, and includes the full service history, in Japanese. It was imported from Japan in 2004, and has had 3 owners since. I will include a CD Rom that has a complete Nissan Owners Service and Repair Manual for the GT-R, in English. I have a folder with receipts for all of the parts I’ve put into the car. Phone if you want to see many, many more photos. I have a home shop with a hoist, and you or your agents are welcome to come and fully inspect this exceptionally clean driving machine. If you have any further questions, I’d be happy to answer them. For the successful bidder, I will do whatever I can to help you with the import process of having a U.S Customs Brokerage inspect the vehicle at a U.S. Port of Entry ( I’ve done this before), and with your shipping needs if necessary .This vehicle can be imported NOW for Show or Display uses, provided it is not driven more than 2,500 miles per year, or if it is used for off road/track racing only, until December 2014 when it can be licensed as a 25 year old vehicle. It is located close to Seattle Washington. There are three ferries that will get you here. I am a retired senior, and able to help with your transportation needs. Word on the forums is that the price of these cars will soon skyrocket, so it is also a sound investment. Please phone, prior to bidding, so I can give you more info on how to import to the U.S. The successful bidder will have 48 hours to make a Minimum $1,000.00 U.S. PayPal deposit(non-refundable). The balance of the success bid will be due 7 business days from the end of the auction in cash or Wire Transfer of funds in U.S. Dollars.

Pretty scenery alert: Nissan Leaf drives up a volcano on Maui
Fri, Apr 11 2014Gravity taketh away but gravity giveth back, Nissan is trying to teach all of us. The Japanese automaker has posted a two-minute video about Maui resident Neil Wagner using his Nissan Leaf to catch the legendary sunrise over the volcano in Haleakala National Park. After climbing the more-than-10,000-foot elevation, the Leaf is shown having lost about 84 percent of its usable battery capacity. The finer point, though, is that electric vehicles have a regenerative braking system, meaning that the downhill ride and all of its switchbacks actually replenish battery capacity. Of course, the video didn't show exactly how much of that capacity was replenished, but the point is well-made, and with really cool scenery. Sales for the Leaf have already been strong this year. Through the first three months of the year, Nissan boosted sales 46 percent from 2013 numbers up to 5,184 units. This is after more than doubling sales last year to 22,610 units. And, for anyone curious, there are six publicly-accessible plug-in vehicle charging stations in Kahului and another eight in Lahaina, two of Maui's largest cities, according to the US Department of Energy. We're pretty sure that Mr. Wagner already knows that but we're going to take notes in case we need to make the sunrise drive one day. For now, we're going to check out Nissan's two-minute video below one more time. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Nissan to make 85% of the vehicles it sells here in US
Fri, 07 Mar 2014We could be in for a big push from Nissan in the manufacturing realm if Vice President of US Sales and Marketing Fred Diaz has anything to say about it. Speaking to the Automotive Press Association recently, Diaz (above) expressed a desire to build some 85 percent of the vehicles Nissan sells to Americans in the US, claiming it will happen "in the very near future." Nissan has already moved to increase exports of its US-built products, and in 2013, it built just over 76 percent of the models it sold in this market within our country's borders.
"Any issues of us taking advantage of the value of the yen, we want to dispel that," Diaz told reporters, pointing out the contentious issue of currency manipulation. There's also the obvious goal of positive PR - Americans like things made in America, and they like companies that invest in America. Diaz is quick to point out that Nissan had done just that: "While a lot of people retrenched [during the recession], instead we leaned into it and we continued investing and in fact made over $5 billion in investments, bringing a lot of production from Japan to the United States and to Mexico," Diaz said, pointing out that Nissan has helped create 8,000 jobs through its investments.
Nissan runs three factories in the US, two in Tennessee and one in Mississippi. Between the three, production is up 22 percent, while the overall exports from the facilities have increased by 100,000 units, Diaz told reporters.
Renault's new Talisman smacks of Maxima [UPDATE]
Mon, Jul 6 2015UPDATE: Well, despite taking up virtually the same amount of space on the road, Nissan spokesperson Josh Clifton confirmed to Autoblog that there's "no linkage on the two vehicles," and that "they weren't developed in tandem." The story has been edited to reflect this information. While Renault and Nissan maintain a strong alliance, the amount of sharing between the two brands is generally pretty subtle. The two automakers haven't made a habit of rebadging the other's products, although we'd surely support rebadging the Renault Clio or Megane as the new Versa or Sentra, especially if the RenaultSport versions were rebadged as Nismo models. That's not likely to change with the new Renault Talisman The big four-door sedan is the latest vehicle to ride on Renault-Nissan's Common Module Family, which also underpins the current Espace MPV. While it may wear Renault's diamond logo and ride on the Espace's platform, the new Talisman sedan takes up almost exactly the same amount of space on the road as the new Nissan Maxima. There's less than two inches separating the two sedans' overall length and wheelbase, while differences in width and height are negligible. The similarities end with the size, though. While the Maxima is only offered with a 3.5-liter V6 and continuously variable transmission, the Talisman will be available with a range of four-cylinder engines. There will be three diesels, available in 110-horsepower, 130-hp, and 160-hp varieties, along with a pair of gas engines, delivering 150 and 200 hp, respectively. The diesels can only be mated to six-speed transmissions (manuals are available for the 110 and 130-hp models), while the petrol mills are limited to seven-speed dual-clutch units. The Renault will also offer four-wheel steering, in the form of the company's 4Control system, and active dampers. While not pictured here, the Talisman will also be offered as a five-door wagon. You can expect to see both the sedan and long-roof models when Renault shows its newest entries in September, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
