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.

Car theft skyrockets thanks to rising parts prices

Mon, Feb 19 2018

Cars and trucks today have achieved a high level of average quality, with safety and technology features that keep occupants safer than ever and meet consumers' high expectations. But the National Insurance Crime Bureau finds that those components come with a rising price tag, leading to expensive repair bills — and rising vehicle thefts to support a thriving black market for parts. The nonprofit NICB said it looked at the cost of replacement parts for the top 10 stolen 2016 models, with average OEM part prices pulled from a database of more than 24 million vehicle damage appraisals generated for 2016 and 2017 insurance claims. The list did not include major components like engines or transmissions, only easily-stripped components like bumpers, doors, hoods and headlights. It found that: The 2016 Toyota Camry, which had a used market value of around $15,000, had 15 commonly replaced parts that added up to almost $11,000, not including labor, with quarter panels alone costing almost $1,600 a pair and a set of alloy wheels tallying more than $1,600. The Camry was also the top stolen vehicle in 2016 at 1,113 thefts. A 2016 Nissan Altima had 14 standard parts worth more than $14,000, including a single headlamp assembly that costs just over $1,000. The Altima was the second-top stolen vehicle in 2016 at 1,063 vehicles stolen. And the 2016 GMC Sierra pickup, which was No. 7 on the 2016 top-stolen list, rang up $21,000 from 20 standard components, including an $1,100 headlamp assembly and an $1,100 rear bumper. "For the professional theft ring, stealing and stripping vehicles for parts has always been a lucrative business," Jim Schweitzer, NICB's senior vice president and chief operating officer, said in a statement. "On today's cars and trucks, the parts are often worth more than the intact vehicle and may be easier to move and sell. That's why we see so many thefts of key items like wheels and tires and tailgates ... there's always a market for them." Check out the NICB infographic below. Vehicle thefts in the U.S. rose by more than 4 percent in 2017, based on preliminary FBI data, after rising 7.6 percent in 2016, though the overall trend has been down since vehicle thefts peaked in 1991, according to the NICB.

Tesla exec calls rival EVs 'little more than appliances'

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Tesla's Vice President of Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell called the company's competition "little more than appliances" at the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI yesterday. "In essence, [mainstream automakers] delivered little more than appliances," O' Connell said. "Now, appliances are useful. But they tend to be white. They tend to be unemotional." According to Automotive News, O'Connell's main critique is that vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 don't deliver enough performance or range to draw the attention of consumers outside of a small group. The solution, in O'Connell's mind, is more power, more range, more excitement and a lower price – that last point is particularly rich coming from an automaker whose cheapest current offering, the Model S 60, costs $66,000 – although the cheaper Model 3 is on the horizon, way out there, somewhere. But some EVs are better than none, O'Connell added. "On balance, I'm happier that [traditional automakers are] doing these cars than not," O'Connell said. "I just wish they would do them better and faster." O'Connell also used his appearance at the Management Briefing Seminars to launch a volley at the Michigan legislature, blaming its opposition to Tesla's direct-sales model for the lack of available EVs in the Wolverine State. "I think if the Michigan Legislature would allow Tesla to sell cars in Michigan, we could probably address [the lack of available electric cars]," O'Connell said. Related Video:

Dongfeng-Nissan surprises with Viwa Concept EV for Venucia

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Nissan has a joint venture in China with Dongfeng to make passenger vehicles, and last year the two companies created a sub-brand called Venucia that aims to roll out five cars by 2015. With the gasoline-engined D50 and R50 and a pilot program for the E30 electric car already out, this little orange beast, the Viwa EV concept, could point the way to a future offering.
Looking like a Chevrolet Spark that spent the weekend raving in Ibiza, the Venucia Viwa EV aims to be reliable, practical, efficient and accessible all in one package. Beyond the practical bit, defined as, "packaged with a compact body for easy driving," Venucia hasn't said how any of those other qualities are achieved. In fact, it hasn't even divulged the specifics of the electric powerplant. However, it does say that it will be developing more EVs under the guide of "China's new energy vehicle policy."
You can get a little more info about it in the press release below, or discover the little peach in the high-res gallery above.
