Was a running vehicle up to brake line broke in Sept 2013. I no longer have a mechanic that will come to my home to repair my vehicles so I needed to upgrade my vehicle to one with a warranty. This vehicle is now for sale, used as-is. This is not a smoke free car."

This is a listing for a 1987 Nissan Maxima.  I am not sure if this is the SE or the GXE model. I have some original paperwork on it but it doesn't state what model it is.  This is a used vehicle, being sold as is.  The car has 121858 miles on it.  Low mileage for a 1987.  I have the title for this car with no lien holders.  Included is the original manuals and warranty book that came with the car.  Also the original receipts for repairs done by the first owner.  These were in the glove compartment and I am not sure if these are complete records from the original owner.  This is a really nice car.  This car deserves to be repaired and/or restored if someone has the capability,  I hate to scrap yard her.

Background:

The vehicle has had two owners: myself and my neighbor until 2012.  The car belonged to my elderly neighbor and she purchased it new.  When she left NYS she sold me her car.  I have had it almost two years.

The Problem:

The car is drivable, but needs work to fix the brake lines and work on the frame.  On Sept 25, 2013 the brake line rusted thru.  It needs to be replaced. In addition, the car failed its last July 2013 inspection.  It failed due to a dent in the unibody construction (right side) and some rust on the frame (left side).  The guy showed me one spot of rust on the frame and the dent that caused the failure of the inspection.  These issues are repairable.  This would be a great car for someone who has the ability to make these repairs themselves, or has the money to spend at an auto body/repair station.  The car also needs more work done on the exhaust system.  I had replaced the muffler on the system about two months ago but exhaust still needs further work.  There is a high pitch noise when the car runs and I have no idea what that is.  The push button for the trunk release/opener needs to be replaced, but trunk can be accessed with the key. 

The Exterior:

The car has a functioning sunroof.  There is rust around the rear fender wells.  The left rear door by the door handle has minor rust.  There is some rust on the left front fender at very bottom and right front fender. The passenger doors have mirror rust.  The right front part of the bumper plastic is cracked.  On the hood there is a scratch, no rust yet.  There is scratches on the roof that are minor.  There are minor scratches on the trunk hood.  There is some rust on the back above the rear brake lights.    The tires are about a year old, and maybe have about 10000 miles on them.

The Interior:

The car has an original security system that works.  It is called a theft warning system in the original paperwork.  The system activates when you set it, even if you leave your windows down.  There is a working AM/FM radio.  There is a cassette.  Not sure if cassette works as I have never tried it.  The stereo has a working graphic equalizer.  The car has working overdrive control switch.  Vanity mirror passenger side.  Spotlights mounted on inside ceiling between sun visors-all working. Interior light needs a bulb.  There is a working luggage compartment light.  There is car interior trunk access making the trunk readily accessible from the rear seat. There are three assist grips...front, rear passenger side and rear driver side.  This is by design.  Working trunk lid, and fuel lid openers in car.  Working tilt steering wheel.  The interior needs to be detailed as it is soiled from use.  There is one button missing out of driver side seat upholstery.  Seats feel like crushed velvet.  The power antenna will not retract.  You can hear it, like it is working, but it does not retract.

Information:

If you win or purchase this car you will have to call me to arrange for a day to pick this vehicle up with a tow truck, or like. I will ebay message you with my phone number. I would like to have the car moved within three days of the winning bid or purchase.  If that is a problem please message me before you bid or purchase the car.    Thank you.

Please read the listing and look at the pictures before you bid or purchase the car.  I have tried to list everything. If you have any questions please ask before bidding or purchasing. I will answer all questions and concerns. This is a used car that needs repaired.

  If you would like to view the car before bidding or purchasing please message me.  Will not end listing for you to come view.  This is a used, as is vehicle that needs work to run and pass NYS inspection.  In the future there may be other problems that could arise that I am unaware of as this is a 1987 vehicle.  I have listed every thing that I know.  

I do not accept returns.  No refunds.  Any questions ask before bidding or purchasing.  Cash, money order, bank check for payment at pick up.  Or PayPal if they allow the amount, no echecks.  Local pick up only please.  

Thank you for your time to look at this listing.

Roller coaster or racecar, which pulls more Gs?

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Looking for a thrill? You're not the only one. You'll find kindred spirits at airfields going up for a skydive, atop bridges and towers with bungees attached to their feet and standing in line for roller coasters at the local amusement park. But you'll also find them in the paddock at the racing circuit.
So what's the commonality? G-force. It's like gravity, only in each of these cases, it's experienced by human invention. But which activity subjects your body to the greatest amount of g-force? That's what Nissan set to find out.
Before putting them back in the cockpit, Nismo sent out two of its young hot-shoes - Jann Mardenborough and Mark Shulzhitskiy - to an amusement park in the UK with a camera and a g-force meter to find out if any of the coasters could produce as much lateral gravitational force as an LMP2 racing car. See what they found in the pair of videos, below.

Nissan bringing GT-R LM Nismo to Le Mans in 2015 [w/videos]

Fri, 23 May 2014

The Nissan Zeod RC hybrid racecar is certainly cool with its pointy looks, we're excited to see it run, but it isn't built to win races so much as push boundaries. But we might not have too to wait long for one of the Japanese brand's vehicles to claim an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well. The company is announcing the GT-R LM Nismo racecar with a two-car, full factory effort in the top LMP1 class of the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans.
Details about the new racer are almost nonexistent at the moment. The only glimpses that we have are its silhouette under a sheet (above) and the briefest peek at its quad circular taillights in one of the teaser videos. However, the team is making some big promises about the car. "We want to win in a very different way to that of our rivals. We won't be turning up in a vehicle, which is a basically another hybrid that looks like another Porsche, Audi or Toyota - they all look the same to me," said Nissan's Chief Planning Officer and Executive Vice President Andy Palmer in the official announcement. Mechanically, Nissan is revealing even less about the GT-R LM Nismo for now. We are just going to have to wait and find out.
The brand will be aiming for a win in the 24-hour race, but it won't come easy. Nissan will absolutely face stiff competition from the combined forces of Audi, Porsche and Toyota in the top LMP1 class. Scroll down to watch two teaser videos for the newest member of the GT-R family and read the full announcement.

2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition loses rear seats, gains performance

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Nissan is adding yet another tier to the GT-R hierarchy for 2014 with the GT-R Track Edition. Debuting at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, the bruiser ditches its back seat in the quest for a lower curb weight, and a set of more seriously bolstered front buckets keep occupants planted once the going gets twisty. The Nürburgring-developed Track Edition offers an integrated carbon fiber front splitter with brake cooling ducts as well as an even harder-core suspension. Engineers swapped the stock bits for special Bilstein DampTronic shocks and paired them with more aggressive springs.
The engine still delivers 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque and still relies on the split-second quickness of the standard GT-R's six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Expect to see just 150 examples of the 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition land on American shores starting this May. In the interim, check out the full press release below for more information.
