  Completely stock when I bought it 8 years ago, this car has consumed almost all of my extra money when I was in my early 20's. Well I'm now 30 I own a more practical car as well as a fast motorcycle and would like some cash for a house. I have around 15k invested in it but we all know its impossible to get it all back. First of all before I list all the mods (will probably forget some) the chassis it self was never in an accident and was originally purchased In Arizonia. It is COMPLETLY rust free. The paint however is faded and the hood, roof and top of passenger rear fender where the paint was faded the worst have been spray painted.

Body : 

Sound deadening removed/no ac

Tanabe sustec pro coil overs (set up to near max ride height, can go much lower if that's what you're into) 

Nismo power brace

Tomei 2 way dif (one of the most recent additions, cost over $850 still needs to be broken in)

Energy suspension polyurethane rear subframe inserts

Upgraded speakers incl custom brackets to fit sony 6x9's in rear (used to have subs but were sold years ago)

Hood has real Aerocatch lockable hood latches (a nice security feature) as well as fully integrated vents

New optima battery relocated to rear. Can easily trip the circuit breaker when storing or working on car

Dash was cracked but I meticulously removed all the foam and sanded and painted the bare plastic

Bare carbon fiber front bumper (never got around to painting it)

Rear bumper support was changed to an aluminum one from a Saturn (can see it in the pic, this was a ~20lb weight savings alone)

Rear spoiler was rescued from pic a part, came off a dodge but fits the car very well. Also much lighter than the stock cracked one!

Tein front strut tower bar (the cheap alien bolts that came with this were removed in favor of larger grade 8 hardware)

DC sports rear strut tower bar

Carbon fiber mirrors

Engine/Drivetrain :

1995 blacktop sr20det very low mi. on engine, just recently changed the oil (full syn mobile one 10w30)

Car does not leak any fluids and never overheats even in the hottest summer weather here in Las Vegas

XTD 6 puck copper ceramic clutch (only mod I regret doing as the original clutch was damn near perfect, I will include the stock clutch in the sale. This xtd clutch is like an on/off switch.)

Driveshaft shop brand 1piece steel driveshaft

Nismo motor mounts

Cx racing intercooler

Real HKS blow off valve

Upgraded Koyo copper radiator with the proper jdm fan shroud.

Samco radiator hoses

Ebay boost valve (not fully hooked up, the car has never been run over 7 lbs of boost btw)

3" exhaust

Apex power fc (also have a Q45 maf not installed that will come with the car)

Hi flow fuel pump

Wheels :

5zigen fn01rc, 17x7 and 17x8 (these are very lightweight but not the most aggressive fitment)

Plenty of life on the tires, 215/40/17 and 245/40/17

Stock size cross drilled rotors, pads still have lots of life on them as well

Alignment was done when the coilovers were installed and is set at negative 2.5 degrees front and negative 1.5 rear ( car has adjustable front camber plates and rear has been set with the stock eccentric bolts)

                                                                               AND MUCH MORE THAN I CAN REMEMBER

 Car is very light (probably sub 2,500 lb) and quick but I have been spoiled by my Kawasaki Ninja so it will never feel that fast to me. Mechanically it needs nothing and will still get decent gas mileage with all these mods. Legally speaking it could use some brighter headlights, one of the rear taillights is out, and the front windshield has a small crack that has continued to grow over the years. You could easily buy some dynamat, new carpet, get it repainted and have a nice daily OR add the Q45 maf I'm including along with a larger turbo then get it retuned and have a very fast car.

2015 Nissan Murano could have been a lot more boring to look at

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

When it debuted at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the third-generation Nissan Murano wowed us more than just about any other car on hand (that's sort of why we handed it an Editors' Choice for the NYIAS). It's sharp, aggressive design was a dramatic departure from the smoother styling of the second-gen CUV, although it wasn't too polarizing. Most importantly, though, it was a vehicle with actual design presence - you want to see it from every angle, all of which draw your eye with something new.
Of course, settling on the design for a new vehicle is far from a straightforward process. While a design might take shape on a designer's drafting table, there are a huge number of steps it needs to get through before making it to an auto show stage or to your local dealer. According to Nissan engineer Chris Reed, those steps very nearly curtailed the Murano's design before the first die was even cast.
Reed has a full account of this sharp design's trials and tribulations in a must-read story from Ward's.

Nissan poaches Ram CEO Fred Diaz

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

Nissan has announced that it has hired Fred Diaz as its new divisional vice president of sales and marketing. With the appointment, Diaz unexpected exits his post as president and CEO of Chrysler's Ram brand, a position he has held since 2009 when the brand was created as a separate entity from Dodge. He was also president and CEO of Chrysler de Mexico.
Nissan issued a press released - posted below - in which it says that Diaz's newly formed position will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the brand in the US, including such facets as sales, marketing, parts and service, along with administrative matters. In addition, he will lead Nissan's light commercial vehicle and fleet division, likely a key attraction with his Ram background.
Chrysler has yet to name a replacement for Diaz.

Spitballs flying between Nissan and Fiat

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

At the 2012 LA Auto Show, Fiat brand chief and recently crowned marketing genius, Olivier François, attempted to distance the Fiat 500e from other electric vehicles, asking rhetorically, "Isn't ugliness the worst kind of pollution?" Nissan has apparently taken issue with these comments, feeling slighted for what it considers digs at the Leaf's styling. In a recent interview with Automotive News, Nissan's marketing chief Simon Sproule shot back, "Let's face it, Fiat has not shied away from controversial styling themselves," he continued, "many would describe many of their products as visual pollution." Ouch.
Sproule says that while the 500e is a "me-too" product, made only to appease US emissions regulations, the Leaf is a serious effort at producing an EV. The Nissan marketing boss points out that the Japanese automaker has invested billions in EV development and production facilities, while Fiat will lose $10,000 on every 500e sold.
However sales of the Leaf in the US are down five percent. Nissan sold just 8,330 Leaf's so far this year, but Sproule contends that it has less to do with styling, and more with the charging infrastructure. Sproule also thinks that Nissan hit a balance between styling and practicality with the Leaf: "It's still very recognizable as a five-seat hatchback, fully functioning, absolutely competitive with the packaging of the Golf of any other mainstream vehicle." For a segment where efficiency is king, isn't that what matters most?
