(VLSD), Hicas rear wheel steering. Factory GT-R coil struts suspension. Top of
the line Alarm and anti-theft system .Original GT-R key! Engine rebuilt by Dave Conway 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 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.
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.The rims are the
factory GT-R ultra-light wheels. 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 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 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. The
Speedo has been replaced, as indicated by the 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. 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. http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/cameraman26/library/?view=recent&page=1 |

Evatran, Bosch will sell wireless home charger for as low as $1,998*
Mon, Jan 6 2014At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the big news for plug in vehicles is that they can now start to ditch the plug. As expected, the system costs around $3,000 and is available for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. For the first 250 customers, though, Evatran is offering $1,000 off the standard price, a 30 percent discount. Deliveries start next month and Evatran says it expects the discounted units to all be snatched up in the first half of the year. The wireless charger charges as quickly as conventional corded systems. Called the Plugless Wireless EV charger, the 240-volt station will be installed by Bosch and needs a specific adapter to be used with the Volt or the Leaf (the Leaf version costs $100 more). So, any two-EV families out there will need to pony up double if there's a Chevy and a Nissan in the garage. Of course, since the Plugless system only works with older Leafs (2010-2012 model years - but with any Volt), any late adopters will not be able to take advantage of the new technology, for now. Evatran says the wireless charger "charges the Volt and Leaf as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the Plugless system." After the first 250 units, standard prices for the wireless chargers take effect again: $2,998 (Volt) and $3,098 (Leaf). Evatran says it will announce wireless chargers for additional vehicles and model years later this year. Evatran and Bosch offer Promotional Pricing as low as $1,998 to first 250 PLUGLESS™ Wireless EV Charging Customers LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), in partnership with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that it is offering reduced promotional pricing to the first 250 customers who opt to Go PLUGLESS with their electric vehicle ("EV") experience. The PLUGLESS system offers a convenient, wireless charging alternative to the repetitive process of unplugging and plugging-in electric vehicles. The reduced pricing includes all charging hardware and is as much as a 30% discount off the system's standard MSRP. The discount is available only to the first 250 customers. Initial shipments of the PLUGLESS system, the first wireless EV charging product in the world available to individual EV drivers, will begin in February 2014.
Worker killed at Nissan Tennessee plant
Sat, 27 Apr 2013A worker has died at the Nissan assembly plant in Smyrna, TN following an accident. According to The Detroit News, the tragedy happened Thursday and involved a large electric panel that fell while it was being moved. The victim was not a Nissan employee, he was a worker for Michigan-based supplier Complete Automation.
Nissan has not released the name of the deceased, but has vowed to cooperate with the authorities investigating the accident. The Murfreesboro Post notes that this is the second death at the plant in recent years - in 2012, a transport truck driver was killed after his rig rolled forward, crushing him between his cab and trailer.
Is 120 miles just about perfect for EV range?
Tue, Apr 15 2014When it comes to battery-electric vehicles, our friend Brad Berman over at Plug In Cars says 40 miles makes all the difference in the world. That's the approximate difference in single-charge range between the battery-electric version of the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Leaf. It's also the difference between the appearance or disappearance of range anxiety. The 50-percent battery increase has zapped any lingering range anxiety, Berman writes. The RAV4 EV possesses a 40-kilowatt-hour pack, compared to the 24-kWh pack in the Leaf. After factoring in differences in size, weight and other issues, that means the compact SUV gets about 120 miles on a single charge in realistic driving conditions, compared to about 80 miles in the Leaf. "The 50 percent increase in battery size from Leaf to RAV has zapped any lingering range anxiety," Berman writes. His observations further feed the notion that drivers need substantial backup juice in order to feel comfortable driving EVs. Late last year, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), along with the Consumers Union estimated that about 42 percent of US households could drive plug-in vehicles with "little or no change" in their driving habits, and that almost 70 percent of US commuters drive fewer than 60 miles per weekday. That would imply that a substantial swath of the country should be comfortable using a car like the Leaf as their daily driver - with first-quarter Leaf sales jumping 46 percent from a year before, more Americans certainly are. Still, the implication here is that EV sales will continue to be on the margins until an automaker steps up battery capabilities to 120 or so miles while keeping the price in the $30,000 range. Think that's a reasonable goal to shoot for?
