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. |

2014 Nissan X-Trail is the Rogue's identical twin [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Up until now, the Rogue and X-Trail were two different compact crossovers that competed in the same segment for Nissan, except one was sold only in the US and the other Europe. So why, Nissan asked, aren't they exactly the same? Thus, with today's reveal of the redesigned 2014 Nissan Rogue, our team on the ground at the Frankfurt Motor Show also met its new identical twin, the 2014 Nissan X-Trail.
Unlike the Rogue, the former X-Trail was a boxy thing that put on the airs of an SUV, so this new look is likely a larger departure for Europeans than it is for us 'Yanks. From what we can tell comparing their press releases, these two crossovers are practically identical save for the badge on their rear liftgates, both now offering an optional third row of seating and a slew of infotainment and active and passive safety features.
The one thing that may differ between the two are the engines on offer. While we know the Rogue has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, Nissan's remaining mum on what will motivate the X-Trail. The prior model offered both gas- and diesel-powered models, which we feel safe in assuming will continue (perhaps opening the door for a diesel-powered Rogue in the US some day). Nissan says we'll know more closer to the X-Trail's on-sale date, which is stated simply as being "next year," whereas the Tennessee-built Rogue will be going on sale in the US this fall.
These EVs are the worst when it comes to depreciation
Mon, Jul 20 2015The Renault Fluence Z.E. tops the list of the worst depreciating cars according to a ranking compiled by Glass' Information Services, holding just 27.21 percent of its value after a year of ownership and 12,000 miles on the clock. Just as well that you can't buy the sedan anymore in either electric or ICE versions, since it was discontinued last year. This car took a particularly rough hit when Better Place declared bankrutpcy, since the electric Fluence was a specific fit for the aspirations of the battery-swapping company. The Citroen C-Zero hits the list at number four, the Nissan Leaf E at number five, both holding onto just a third of their value after a year. The C-Zero is a rebadged Mitsubishi i-MiEV, and if you bought one stock for the full UK on-the-road price of 26,766 pounds, you'd have a car worth 8,583.86 pounds twelve months later, according to Glass. We're not sure about the wording of the press release, though - it states that those three cars "lost more than three-quarters of their value." Yet the Fluence E Z.E. is the worst offender, and it doesn't dip below 25 percent of its original value. As with those electrics, the rest of the list is made up of aged or barebones ICE models, some of them touted elsewhere for their popularity. You can find the full list and the valuations in the press release below. ELECTRIC CARS AMONG WORST FIRST YEAR DEPRECIATORS Fluence, C-Zero and LEAF all lose more than three-quarters of their value 15/07/15 - Three electric cars are among the worst first year depreciators in a "Bottom 10" released by motor trade valuation market leaders Glass's. The Renault Fluence, Citroen C-Zero and Nissan LEAF E have all lost more than three-quarters of their value after covering 12,000 miles during the last 12 months. Rupert Pontin, head of valuations at Glass, said: "The motor trade and the used car buying public remain interested in electric cars but are still reticent to actually buy them in numbers – and these depreciation figures reflect that fact. "To be fair, these three EVs are among some of the least attractive on the market – the Fluence and C-Zero both have a 'last generation' feel while the LEAF E is on the bottom rung of the LEAF range – but their presence does reflect the fact that the EV sector remains sluggish." Other models in the list include the lowest-powered, entry level versions of some generally popular but aging models such as the Vauxhall Insignia and Renault Megane.
Nissan gets new NA boss, lowered forecasts in management shakeup
Sat, 02 Nov 2013José Muñoz, a Nissan and Infiniti sales and marketing vice president, will replace Colin Dodge as Nissan's new North America chief, come Jan. 1, as part of a wide-ranging management shuffle, Automotive News reports. Dodge will remain on Nissan's board, be assigned to special projects and report directly to CEO Carlos Ghosn.
Nissan is working on reorganizing its global operations into six regions, each with a new chief: North America (Muñoz' territory), Latin America, Japan-Southeast Asia, China, Europe and Africa-India-Middle East. Currently Nissan divides the globe into three regions, the Americas, Europe-Africa-India-Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
Nissan also lowered its sales forecast from 5.3-million vehicles to 5.2 million for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2014. Last year, the company sold 4.914 million in the same period. In May, after Nissan's market share had fallen to 7.7 percent, Ghosn said he wants to double sales in the US by 2017 and increase its market share in the country to 10 percent.
