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.

Renault names new leaders as jailed Carlos Ghosn bows out

Thu, Jan 24 2019

PARIS — Renault appointed Michelin boss Jean-Dominique Senard as its new chairman on Thursday, after Carlos Ghosn was forced to resign in the wake of a financial scandal that has rocked the French carmaker and its alliance with Japan's Nissan. Senard will become chairman immediately, the company said, with deputy chief executive Thierry Bollore taking over Ghosn's other Renault role as full CEO. The appointments may begin to ease a Renault-Nissan leadership crisis that erupted after Ghosn's Nov. 19 arrest in Japan and swift dismissal as Nissan chairman. Senard, 65, now faces the task of soothing relations with Renault's Japanese partner and resuming talks on a new alliance structure to cement the 20-year-old partnership. "It's important that this alliance remain extremely strong," Senard told reporters after a board meeting - citing the mounting investment demands of new vehicle technologies. "It is our compulsory duty to go forward together." Ghosn's exit also marks a clear end to one of the auto industry's most feted careers, two decades after he was despatched by former Renault boss Louis Schweitzer to rescue newly acquired Nissan from near-bankruptcy — a feat he pulled off in two years. After 14 years as Renault CEO and a decade as chairman, Ghosn formally resigned from both roles on the eve of the board meeting. Ghosn's arrest and indictment for financial misconduct has strained the Renault-Nissan relationship, threatening the future of the industrial partnership he transformed into a global carmaking giant over two decades. For two months, the tensions deepened as Renault and the French government stuck by Ghosn despite the revelation he had arranged to be paid tens of millions of dollars in additional income, unbeknownst to shareholders. Ghosn has been charged with failing to disclose more than $80 million in additional compensation for 2010-18 that he had agreed to be paid later. Nissan director Greg Kelly and the Japanese company itself have also been indicted. Both men deny the deferred pay was illegal or required disclosure, while not contesting the agreements' existence. Ghosn has denied a separate breach of trust charge over personal investment losses he temporarily transferred to Nissan in 2008. Ghosn had agreed in recent days to step down from Renault, Reuters reported on Tuesday — but only after the French government, Renault's biggest shareholder, called for leadership change and his bail requests were rejected.

Recharge Wrap-up: Big Oil fails at renewable fuel, scientists study air with EVs, plug-in Panamera sales

Thu, Jul 10 2014

Big Oil companies help keep renewable fuels out of your tank, a new report shows. No surprise there, right? The Renewable Fuels Association published a report card grading the country's largest retail gasoline chains on fuel offerings like E85 and E15. The report gave failing grades, with less than one percent of stations offering E15 or E85, to "Big Five" companies Exxon, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Shell, among other oil company and convenience/grocery store brands. The only major oil companies that didn't get an "F" were Valero (D), Cenex (B), and Marathon (A-). The eight companies that scored an A+ had at least 25 percent of their stations offering E85 or E15.

Beginning July 4, University of Leicester researchers began driving electric vehicles kitted out with special sensors to monitor air quality throughout the city (similar to how California does it). Now their emissions-free daily driving duties double as data collection for their studies. "By monitoring air quality as a seamless part of our daily transport system, we are providing a cost-effective way to help inform future policy and operational systems," says the University's Dr. Roland Leigh.

"There is no doubt electric cars are the future." – Nissan's Andy Palmer Nissan is exploring the idea of taking its Leaf EV to India, but a lack of charging options is an obstacle. According to Nissan's chief planning officer Andy Palmer, "There is no doubt electric cars are the future. The product is there, what we need is infrastructure. Charging is a big challenge." Though Nissan stopped short of saying it (this time), this could possibly mean working with Mahindra, which said it is open to collaborating with other companies concerning EVs. Learn more in this article from the Hindustan Times and know that India is rolling out a plan to encourage the production and adoption of EVs. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan will get over $2 billion in funding, and some of that will go toward creating a charging infrastructure (you hear that, Nissan?). This is good news for EV manufacturers, India's economy and people who enjoy breathing clean air.

Nissan recalls 3,065 Pathfinders for transmission fluid leak

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

Nissan is recalling 3,065 units of the 2013 Pathfinder equipped with the CVT, due to a potential transmission fluid leak. On crossovers built from April 18, 2012 to October 3,2012 "inadequate clamping force" on the hose connected to the internal oil cooler can cause the hose to come loose and let fluid escape. A severe loss of fluid can cause the transmission to stop working properly.
The recall is the result of a safety investigation begun last September, when it was thought a recall could involve 110,000 units of the Pathfinder and Infiniti JX35. Asked for comment about how such a large number of vehicles potentially involved could end up with just 3,065 being recalled, Nissan rep Steve Yaeger told Autoblog that Nissan initiated a service campaign for the issue last year - a service campaign notifies owners to take their vehicles to the dealer for repair of "what is generally not a safety issue" - and that there was a "production improvement" that addressed the clamping issue. The service campaign included the vehicles being recalled, but the recall is limited to just those vehicles that were built before the production-line fix.
Nissan will begin informing affected owners next month, at which time owners can take their vehicles to dealers to have the hose clamp repaired. The press release below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
