Up for auction here is a very clean 1989 240SX Hatchback car.  This car is in amazing condition, and is in total original condition.  This car has not been hacked up, modified or cut up in any way.  The motor does run, although it has a bad head gasket or cracked head as it is leaking water into the oil, and does not have much power.  If you are looking for a body and interior to do a SR20, RB25, or RB26 swap, then this is the perfect car to start with!!!!

It is a very rust free car on the underneath side, with only 3 places of concern, in the usual spots:  underneath the spoiler, and the two spots at the rocker seam on both sides (see pictures).  The frame rails and underneath is exceptionally clean of rust...again, see pictures.  This car has the original owners manual, what appears to be the factory floor mats (is missing the left rear), and still has the rear hatch interior cover (3 of the 4 mounts are broken though).  It does have the original donut spare and the original jack.  It is missing the handle and lug nut wrench.  The car has 159k miles on it, but you can't tell it from the interior.  The door panels are near perfect, and seats are near perfect, and the carpet is perfect.  The carpet may have been replaced, but it looks to be the original style, as it matches the glove box and door panels perfect.

The paint on the car appears to be original.  The car does not appear to have ever been wrecked, although the left door and quarter panel look like they have been repainted.  The steering wheel does show some wear (see pictures).  The rear hatch shocks need replaced, as they won't hold up the hatch.  There is something wrong with one part of the center console right behind the gear shift.  I think it must be missing a couple of pieces, but look at the pic and see what you think.  The dash does have several cracks in it. (See pics)

The body is not perfect, but is a very, very solid body for a 24 year old car.  Was a daily driver until the motor had problems.  Has the usual door dings and clear fade, as any 24 year old car would.  This car has the perfect original pitina if you are looking for an original 240 with nothing to hide.  It does have the rare chin spoiler, not sure if it is factory or not.  There is one spot on the left front lower fender and bumper area where it has been pushed out or in, but not a bad issue.  It is hardly noticeable.  

The car has the original teardrop wheels, but the tires are going to need replaced, as they have excessive dry rot and I would not recommend driving any distance on them.

The pop-up headlights work just as they should, and the retractable seat belts work as they should.  The A/C does not come on, but may be just a charge issue, as the compressor is free and turns by hand.

Nissan Note getting a little louder with Nismo versions this fall

Thu, Jul 24 2014

Nissan's Nismo performance division has been getting more chances to shine recently with tuned models like the Juke Nismo RS and GT-R Nismo. But its latest creation moves closer to the bottom of the Japanese brand's lineup to make a hot hatch out of the (Versa) Note. At least in Japan, the new model is due this fall, and Nismo is keeping a lot of the details about its latest creation a secret for now. What we do know is that it'll be available in two trims – the Note Nismo and the sportier Nismo S. "The development concept of this model was to build a car that makes you want to keep driving, no matter where your destination may be," said the division's chief product specialist, Hiroshi Tamura, in the company's announcement. Aesthetically, the Note Nismo looks the way a tuned Nissan should, with the division's signature red trim outlining the car. It also wears a new, mesh grille, lower air dam, red side sills and rear spoiler. Inside, the S gets standard sport seats with full Recaro buckets as an option. Nissan didn't release technical specs for either version, but it promises that the S also gets a tuned engine with a five-speed manual. But now, allow us to burst your bubble. Autoblog spoke to Nissan North America Product Communications Director Dan Bedore about the hot Note, and he told us, "There are no plans currently for a Nismo Versa Note in the US." That's too bad; if the specs turn out to be competitive, it could be an interesting rival for the Ford Fiesta ST. Scroll down to read the official announcement. NISSAN UNVEILS THE NOTE NISMO, SCHEDULED TO GO ON SALE IN FALL 2014 YOKOHAMA, Japan (July 23, 2014) – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has taken the veils off the latest and sportiest iteration of the popular Note, called Note Nismo, which will reach dealer showrooms in the fall of 2014. Nissan also announced that the Fairlady Nismo will receive a minor model change, while a new Nismo RS grade will be added to the Juke Nismo in the fall of 2014. Ever since the release of the Juke Nismo in February 2013, the lineup of Nissan's specialty division, Nismo, has steadily grown. Soon after the launch of the Juke Nismo, the March Nismo, Fairlady Nismo and Nissan GT-R Nismo were added to the stable; thus allowing Nismo to offer a broad range of road-going cars to the public-from compacts to SUVs to sports cars-all armed with the sporty DNA derived from Nismo's motorsports activities. And now you can add one more to the list, the Note Nismo.

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla will sell Model S on Alibaba in China, Wrightspeed electrifies garbage trucks

Tue, Oct 21 2014

Tesla will sell cars in China using Alibaba's Tmall website. Customers will be able to use the Chinese shopping site to place an $8,200 deposit toward a Model S. Tmall will feature 18 preconfigured versions for customers to choose from, which won't offer quite the level of customization as Tesla's US site. Bloomberg's Jamie Butters calls it a "defensive move" on Tesla's part, and still expects the company to sell cars in China the traditional way. Watch the video at Bloomberg or read more at Bidness Etc. Tesla co-founder Ian Wright's company Wrightspeed is converting garbage trucks to EVs. The same brand that created the exciting X1 EV is making trash collection much cleaner. "Garbage trucks are the perfect driving cycle for us: they get two or three miles per gallon, drive 130 miles a day with 1,000 hard stops that chew on the brakes," says Wright. The system puts an electric motor at each of the truck's drive wheels, and includes an on-board generator that runs on diesel or natural gas to extend driving range. Read more at Xconomy. British company Hillside Leisure is converting the Nissan e-NV200 into a camper van. The electric RV, called the DalburyE, debuted at the UK's Motorhome and Caravan Show in Birmingham. It sleeps up to four people, and features a pop-up roof, a gas stove, fridge, sink and other amenities. It's a great way to take full advantage of an RV park's electrical outlet to charge the van while camping in it. Read more at Transport Evolved, and see more photos at Hillside Liesure's blog.
