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.

2013 Nissan NV200

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Moving is not fun. On the scale of adult activities, it ranks somewhere between taxes and jury duty. Boxes need to be loaded, furniture needs to be lifted and the entire affair is typically fueled by a combination of pizza, beer and pain killers (a combo my friends affectionately refer to as "moving fuel"). It's not fun, and it's rarely easy.
While it doesn't make the activity any more enjoyable, having the right vehicle for the job is the difference between loading and unloading half a dozen times and doing it once or twice. When taken as a whole, a proper moving van can shave hours off a day of labor, not to mention untold years of physical and mental stress for those who must take to their wheels every day.
That truism was borne out once again when I borrowed a loaded Nissan NV200 SV to help my girlfriend move into her new house. The little Nissan was a comfortable and able companion throughout the day, managing everything from a mattress and box springs to countless boxes of clothes, dishes and other necessities. Throughout the day, the NV impressed not just with the amount of stuff it could fit in its cavernous back end, but with the features it had to make moving anything easier.

Ghosn: Restoring Mitsubishi's reputation is biggest challenge

Thu, May 12 2016

After news that Mitsubishi falsified its fuel economy data on every vehicle it has sold in Japan since 1991, and the tumble in the company's value that followed, the troubled carmaker has an unlikely savior. Nissan has confirmed it will purchase over one third of Mitsubishi's stock, or 34 percent. The stake is valued at $2.2 billion. Ghosn says making Mitsubishi a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance will save billions in development costs. But the merger certainly isn't without challenges. "The biggest challenge is to support Mitsubishi changing itself and growing and being profitable and restoring its reputation," said Ghosn. Nissan is a natural partner for Mitsubishi, and since the fuel economy scandal escalated from discrepancies in the data regarding Mitsubishi-manufactured, Nissan-badged Japan-market vehicles, it makes sense for the company to sweep in and save the day. Nissan itself is partially owned by Renault, and Nissan has a 15-percent stake in the French automaker. Mitsubishi's chairman, Osamu Masuko says that the merger was inevitable, that it "would have happened one day" anyway, according to the New York Times. Carlos Ghosn, chairman of both Nissan and Renault, is confident they will be able to turn Mitsubishi's fortunes around. "We have the track record to make it work", Ghosn said, referring to the Renault-funded rescue of Nissan in the early 2000s. Related Video:

Infiniti puts EV plans on hold again

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Think of it as the green-automotive industry's version of Groundhog Day. Nissan's Infiniti division is putting plans for its first mass-production electric vehicle on hold. Again. The Infiniti LE, whose concept version was unveiled 2012's New York Auto Show, is again being put up on the proverbial blocks, USA Today says, citing a presentation by Infiniti executive Michael Bartsch at a recent company event in Detroit. Essentially, the Nissan division has bigger fish to fry, in the form of boosting overall Infiniti sales, and doesn't yet want to put the effort into introducing the Infiniti LE. The Infiniti EV plans were first postponed by then-Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen during the summer of 2013, as de Nysschen wasn't quite buying into Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn's ambitious electric vehicle sales projections. De Nysschen resigned last summer to join General Motors' Cadillac division. One issue may be the fact that the Infiniti wouldn't be all that different from the Nissan Leaf. Despite the fact that US sales of that EV surged 34 percent last year compared to 2013, to 30,200 vehicles, an Infiniti version was apparently not enough of a selling point within the company. While the Infiniti is sportier looking than the Leaf and would boast inductive, wireless charging, it would have a similar power output and single-charge range as the Leaf.
