Up for sale is my 1989 Nissan 240sx Hatch.400 miles ran on engine. Built the winter of 2012 and ran this year. Car has never driven through winters and has been babied for a long time.

Chassis: Welded in reinforcement bar across front for crash bar delete. I sanded down the whole front end. I painted 3 coats of high temp primer, 3 coats of ultra-fire red high temp paint, 2 coats of sealer with gloss. Underside is clean. Clean frame rails. No rust on quarters. Slight surface rust on lower portion of the driver’s side fender, but I sanded it down and put anti rust agent on it.  

Suspension: KYB GR2 shocks all around, K Sport lowering springs, Rucas, 300zx diff, z32 brakes all around w drill slotted rotors. Sportmaxx 18 inch 502 rims and fat tires. New same miles 400 on them. Red tuner lugs.

Engine sr20det red top (finned): Megan polyurethane motor mounts and trans mount. Brian Crower 272 cams, BC valves, BC springs, BC guides, and retainers, Rocker arm plate stopper. 2 new rockers and shims. Head was sent out to San Diego california to HGMS for over haul where it was tanked, intake side ported and exhaust side polished. Block was tanked and honed with cp pistons 86mm 9:1 compression, eagle rods. All new gaskets (will work with E85). S14 oil pump, new suction line, s14 water pump, Moroso large oil pan, polished high flow intake plenum w throttle cable mount, new plugs, coils, light weight pulleys, ignitor chip, new belts, hoses. Koyo aluminum radiator with twin Spal slim high power fans. Tomei 8270 arms turbo. Probably more.

I wired the car myself and cleaned the engine bay. I put into place quick disconnects to separate the harness if need be. Looks very clean

Trans: Rebuilt; new first gear, new synchros, new input and out seals. B&M short shifter. Exedy stage 2 clutch. New slave cylinder, throw out bearing, and fork. Trans shifts like butter.

Inside: 180 KPH gauge cluster. The door panels are clean. No cracks in the dash. Red 5 zigen center cluster. Nismo leather shifter cover with red stitching. Nismo race bucket seats with 4 point harness. Inside has new black carpet. Rear seat nismo eliminator, looks nice and fitted well. Trunk gutted with battery relocated and boxed. Bride steering wheel. New door seals and glass rubber backing. New passenger side window motor. Sony radio.

Body is original red. Has dings and dents but paint still shines. Was scraped on the passenger side but it was repair 5 years ago. Minor scrape when another vehicle pulled into the next parking spot.

When I finished the build I broke in the engine for the 30 min run time. After that I took it easy for the first week. I inspected the oil and it came out clean no issues no junk. Somewhere about a good 50 miles into driving, the car began smoking oil out the back. I freaked out and thought something went in the engine. I found out after going through a cylinder compression test and taking apart the head that Tomei sent me a faulty turbo. The main seal let loose and was dumping oil to the exhaust. I sent it back and waited for warranty. From there the car sat again till May. I bought a house and had to move the car. I installed the stock turbo and sent out the ECU to Jim Wolf to get the car to run on the maf and big cam. Amazingly the guys at Jwolf made it run. Car idles, fires up on the first try, and pulls good. Finally in August-September Tomei sent me a brand new 8270 arms turbo kit. I never installed it. It sits sealed in the box and will be included. I did however sell the AEM EMS 2 and the Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors.

Now for the bad:

The stock turbo likes to smoke a little oil after a long idle time. But I have not seen the oil level go down any.

I disconnected the e-brake cable because the line kept popping out of the backing plate. I did however buy a brand new rear 300zx brake kit with lines and I will include it. (Backing plates, rotors, pads, calipers, lines, shoes). Ill also throw in some 5 lugs spindles for the rear.

Windshield cracked in the passenger side bottom corner but it is not visible.

The body is an 1989. It has some dings and scratches but the car is clean and shines. I loved it since I could remember. I wish I could keep her but with many toys and two kids and a house the car sits there and doesn’t move. I’ve dumped tons of money into it and hope the next person will take care of it and enjoy it. Thanks for looking, happy bidding, and if you have any questions please let me know.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to pack 595 hp, lap N"urburgring in 7:08

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

With two major auto shows taking place this week on different sides of the globe, the amount of news being posted across the internet is reaching a fever pitch. Naturally, things happen, trigger fingers get itchy and stories get leaked, which is apparently how we came across this spate of premature pictures and information on the eagerly anticipated Nissan GT-R Nismo.
Packing 595 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter V6, the Nismo-fied GT-R should be a serious kick in the pants when run hard. The new power is thanks to a number of donor parts from the GT-R Nismo GT3 racecar, bits that include larger turbochargers, revised intake and exhaust systems and new ignition timing.
Thanks to the engine enhancements, and, we imagine, a few other tweaks to the chassis, brakes and aerodynamics that have yet to be published, the GT-R Nismo is said to blitz the Nürburgring in just 7:08, a mere 11 seconds slower than the $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder. For a car that is rumored to cost well under a quarter of the price, that performance is just immense.

Nissan axing Pathfinder Hybrid from 2016 lineup

Thu, Jul 2 2015

The Nissan lineup gets a little smaller for the 2016 model year, as the Pathfinder Hybrid is dropped from the range. With its debut in late 2013, the electrically assisted SUV is one of the company's more recent introductions. However, it never really caught on with the public. "The Pathfinder Hybrid is not available in the US for the 2016 model year. Our emphasis is on the 3.5-liter V6 Pathfinder that achieves a best-in-class 20-city and 27-highway fuel economy," Nissan North America product communications director Dan Bedore confirmed to Autoblog. "Nissan has no announcement on future hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain applications at this time." Nissan actually ended production of the Pathfinder Hybrid in January, and "the hybrid was never a big part of Pathfinder sales," Bedore said to Automotive News. For the price premium, the electrically assisted version that combined a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a 20-horsepower electric motor was only rated three or four miles per gallon better in EPA combined ratings than with the V6. However, while the company doesn't outline individual sales of the two, powertrain variants, the SUV is performing well so far this year. Through June 2015, sales are up 4.9 percent with 41,938 units sold. The future for the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid, which is the Pathfinder's more luxurious sibling, doesn't look very bright either. "For the United States, while the QX60 Hybrid continues to be available at some retailers across the country, our production is currently focused on the QX60 3.5 model," Infiniti spokesperson Kyle Bazemore told Autoblog. However, the vehicle is still in production at the Smyrna, TN, factory for export to places like China and Mexico. According to Bazemore if demand happens to increase in the US, "we have the manufacturing ability to make them available." Overall, QX60 sales are also up 14 percent this year in the US.
