1984 Nissan Sentra 2 door coupe with 1.7L Isuzu Diesel Engine.  What a rare find.  I have seen several of the Sentras with the 1.6L gasoline engine, but this is the only one I have ever seen with the diesel engine option.  The engine runs very well and cranks at the turn of the key.  I'll admit, it's not very powerful, but it does get great fuel mileage, somewhere between 35-40 mpg.  The car has had one non-smoking owner.  We purchased it new in 1984.  It has a clean NC title.  With a few exceptions, car is in a decent overall condition for its age.  This car was driven up unitl 2010. The engine clutch started slipping in 3rd and 4th gear and brakes started making some noise, so the car was parked.  The car will move under its own power now, but only in 1st, 2nd and reverse gear.  I did purchase a new set of brake rotors, pads, shoes and drums (Carquest brand) but have not installed them.  The front wheel drive cv joints make some noise when turned hard right all the way to lock and hard left all the way to lock when going forward.  It will also need wiper blades.  Has some rust on left and right front quarter panel and inside trunk area on both left and right fender well.  Left hand door has slight dent on outside and weather stripping leaks a little on that side.  Paint and bumpers are faded.  Interior is ok with some cracks on dash.  Radio plays but the lcd display does not work.  Only the left hand door speaker works.  The car does NOT have air conditioning.  The fan blower switch has 4 speeds.  The #2 speed does not work on the fan blower switch.  The speedometer works fine however the needle will not go down below 25 mph on the display, but will do up when driving at a higher speed.  The interior dome light cover is missing.  The car does show normal wear and tear for its age.  


So here's to recap;  the car will need an engine clutch, brakes front and rear, cv joints (eventually) and wiper blades.  

Here's what comes with the car:  set of front brake rotors, pads, rear brake shoes, drums (all Carquest brand),  6 engine oil filters NEW, 1 air filter NEW, and 1 fuel filter NEW.

Local inspection can be arranged or I can send more area specific pictures if needed.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Renault-Nissan promises 10 autonomous models through 2020

Fri, Jan 8 2016

Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn promised back in 2013 to have autonomous technology on the road by 2020, and now the automaker has pledged to have more than 10 models ready in that time with varying levels of autonomous capabilities. The company claims it will offer these systems to customers around the world at affordable prices in major markets like the US, Europe, Japan, and China. Renault-Nissan will introduce driverless tech in multiple phases over the next four years. The first step will come later this year with the introduction of a single-lane autonomous system that will be able to go down the highway and manage stop-and-go traffic automatically. The next innovation in 2018 will offer multi-lane capability, and the ability to automatically pass other vehicles on the road. Another big jump will come in 2020 with the ability for models to navigate intersections and urban areas without a driver's control. Renault and Nissan engineers will develop all of this together, and the results will be available in both of the company's brands. Ghosn explained this roadmap towards an autonomous future last year but cautioned that Renault-Nissan didn't plan to take complete control away from owners. Instead, the company sees these systems as a way to make people even safer behind the wheel by reducing the chance for driver error. The automaker's deliberate introduction strategy is prudent because it can potentially adapt to proposed regulations that could mandate rules on how piloted vehicles operate. RENAULT-NISSAN TO LAUNCH MORE THAN 10 VEHICLES WITH AUTONOMOUS DRIVE TECHNOLOGY OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS World's fourth largest car group confirms autonomous drive and connectivity timeline through 2020 Fatal and serious injuries have been significantly reduced; new technologies will help make cars even safer Car group hires new executive to oversee connectivity and connected car services globally SUNNYVALE, Calif. – The Renault-Nissan Alliance will launch more than 10 vehicles with autonomous drive technology in the next four years. The global car group confirmed today that it will launch a range of vehicles with autonomous capabilities in the United States, Europe, Japan and China through 2020. The technology will be installed on mainstream, mass-market cars at affordable prices. In addition, Renault-Nissan will launch a suite of new connectivity applications that will make it easier for people to stay connected to work, entertainment and social networks.
