You are looking at my 1986 Nissan 300zx Turbo 5-speed.  I am selling because my family is growing "just found out baby on way" and I can no longer enjoy taking this car out for Sunday drives. :(    The car will need some cosmetic and minor mechanical work to be truly appreciated, there is some dings and dents, plus a handful of rust spots that I was planning on repairing when I purchased the car but I haven't had time.  Since I purchased the Z it has been garaged and only driven on the weekends for fun.   It runs fine, a little rough when starting the car "takes a couple keyturns" but it has always started and after its warmed up a tad she is good to go.   This is the FULLY decked out version of the 300zx, working digital dash, talking lady that notifies you of lights being on or open doors, 5 piece seats with auto adjustable lumbar support, etc... The transmission is pretty solid, Downshifting into second gear can be tricky but this car has character and takes a couple minutes to learn, I have never had any issue going anywhere at any speed at any time.  It leaks a little oil and tranny fluid but nothing to be concerned about just do regular checkups.  The oil is very slowly leaking from the passenger side cam seal.  I didn't have the tools to replace it when I replaced the timing belt so I left it because it wasn't terrible.  The clutch was replaced right before I purchased the car a couple months ago.  I replaced the Timing belt, Water pump, Thermostat, there gaskets, it has all new belts as well and a new battery.  "The new battery isn't in the car atm its setting on a wood shelf because the battery in the car is fine but the new one will come with the car.    Two weeks ago I put brand new tires on the car, Firestone Champion.  They were the best all season tire I could buy for a 15" rim at Firestone.  The AC is blowing hot air because of a vacuum line.  I have the lines that will go with the car I just don't have the time to replace them, replacing the lines will make starting the car a lot faster as well.   I have a decent amount of experience working on Z31 engines.  Before I had this car I restored and completely rebuilt a non-turbo auto 86 Z31.   I am listing mainly negatives here because I don't want to sell this car to someone without informing them of everything I know.  As a big fan of the Z cars I would love to see this go to an enthusiast that wants to restore it although it can be a daily driver if needed.  I hope I can be of help if you have any questions feel free to message me.


I am selling the car as-is meaning no refunds after purchase and serious buyers only please.  Shipping/ pickup is up to the seller to handle.   

I will be adding more to the description tomorrow, I just wanted to get it posted.  I will even be posting a 15 minute video of the car, it starting and driving it around so if your interested feel free to watch the listing and check back tomorrow evening.

Thanks for looking and God Bless.


Regarding trade offers...  I am specifically looking for an older car "roughly 1970-1987" that is a 2 door but has 4 seats.  I am not brand specific so if your looking to trade feel free to ask.  Worst I can say is no.   Oh and no trucks/ vans/ Suvs/..Etc...  Thanks!

Nissan ZEOD RC finds nothing but trouble at 2014 Le Mans

Mon, Jun 16 2014

Audi came away a big winner at this year's Le Mans competition, but Nissan has at least one thing to celebrate. The Pyrrhic victory apparently presages Nissan giving up on the gas-electric race car for Le Mans 2015. Before the race this weekend, the prototype ZEOD RC hybrid race car was doing quite well. In fact, given the way things turned out, Nissan's keen to mention that team engineers managed to get the car to complete a lap on electric power and hit a target speed of 300 kilometers per hour (186 miles per hour) on the Mulsanne Straight during testing. ZEOD RC stands for Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car. "The race was obviously very disappointing" – Wolfgang Reip Things didn't go so well once the real race started. The problem for the Deltawing-esque prototype – which is powered by a 1.5-liter gas ending putting out 400 horsepower and a pair of 110-kW electric motors – was that something broke in the transmission after just 23 minutes and five laps. Driver Wolfgang Reip put his best spin on the hybrid's collapse: "The race was obviously very disappointing but having got a taste of Le Mans now, I can't wait to get back." If Reip does return with Nissan, it will likely be in a more traditional Le Mons racer. The ZEOD RC was part of the LM P2 class, but Nissan says that, "For Le Mans 2015, Nissan will return to the LM P1 class." You can watch the full warm-up electric lap in a video below.

Nissan ZEOD RC heroic electric lap followed by heartbreak Amazing morning warm-up result after all-nighter by crew "New tech" car halted by "old tech" issue Nissan breaks new ground in electric vehicles LE MANS, France – Nissan's assault on the Le Mans 24 Hours may have ended early, but the revolutionary Nissan ZEOD RC electric prototype still leaves Le Mans having reached its historic goals of hitting 300 km/h on the Mulsanne Straight and recording a complete lap of Le Mans on electric power only. The unique prototype – which features both internal combustion and electric power sources – reached its first target during Thursday night qualifying when Satoshi Motoyama exceeded 300 km/h before the first chicane on the Mulsanne Straight. Nissan's other key goal was to complete an entire 8.5-mile lap of Le Mans on pure electric power. GT Academy winner Wolfgang Reip was at the wheel when the team achieved this goal during the morning warm-up.

Recharge Wrap-up: liquid-cooled Tesla Supercharger, Acenta+ Leaf

Thu, Jul 2 2015

A new video offers a close look at Tesla's updated Supercharger. Recently, Elon Musk spoke about the new charging station with a thinner, suppler liquid-cooled cable that is not only easier to manage, but has the potential to handle larger loads and offer quicker recharging. The first examples have been installed in Mountain View, CA, which we can see in this video. Besides the new cable, the new Supercharger also features a solid "button" on the charging handle as well as vents around the bottom of the unit. The video even shows thermal imaging of the new Supercharger, which shows the cable to be cooler than the cameraman usually records. See for yourself in the video above, and read more at Treehugger. Nissan has added a new trim level to the Leaf in the UK. The Acenta+ slots above the Acenta and just below the range-topping Tekna. It comes standard with the 6.6-kW onboard charger and Mode-3 32-amp (EVSE) cable. Using a fast charger, the Acenta+ Leaf can charge to 100 percent in just four hours. "We're delighted to add a new member to the Leaf family in the UK," says Nissan Motor GB Managing Director James Wright. "More than 9,500 Leafs have already been sold here and Nissan is the undisputed leader in the EV market. This new model delivers exceptional value and showcases the Leaf's incredible technology and engineering." Read more at Next Green Car. Mercedes-Benz Malaysia says its vehicles are compatible with B10 biodiesel blend. Malaysia recently announced a mandate for diesel to be sold blended with 10 percent palm-oil based biodiesel, after which, carmakers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz came forward with concerns over compatibility with their vehicles. "We have evaluated carefully the influence of B10 Biodiesel blends on our current diesel vehicles for the Malaysian market and we are now able to confirm its compatibility," says Mercedes-Benz Malaysia President and CEO Roland Folger. "We have service intervals of 12,000 km to ensure that our customers are not affected by the diesel quality. Our diesel-powered vehicles currently sold in Malaysia were seen to have run both smoothly and safely with the use of the B10 biodiesel blend." Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News.

Honda, Nissan, and Toyota expand Takata recall by millions worldwide

Wed, May 13 2015

Honda, Nissan, and Toyota are expanding their global Takata airbag inflator recalls to cover millions of additional vehicles. Toyota alone is adding about 5 million vehicles to its campaign globally, and over 600,000 of those are in the US, according to Automotive News. Nissan's expansion includes an estimated 1.56 million cars worldwide, including about 326,000 in North America, but the exact models from the company are not yet known. According to Automotive News, Honda has also announced plans to increase the scope of its campaign but hasn't yet disclosed specific models, total numbers, or their location. Company spokesperson Chris Martin tells Autoblog that none of these vehicles are in the US, though. In the US, Toyota is replacing the driver's side front inflators on 160,000 examples of the 2004 and 2005 RAV4 nationwide. It's also swapping out the front passenger side parts for 177,000 units of the 2003 and 2004 Tundra (pictured above) and 2004 Sequoia. The automaker is also expanding its regional recalls in high-humidity areas to include the passenger-side inflators of 300,000 more vehicles. In total, the affected models are 2005-2007 model-year Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, and Lexus SC; plus the 2005-2006 Tundra is included, as well. All of the states that are covered by this campaign are listed in Toyota's announcement, below. In a statement to Autoblog, Nissan said that it's currently working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on this campaign. "We expect to have a more formal statement and additional information by Friday, May 15," the company said. TOYOTA EXPANDS TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALLS TORRANCE, Calif., May 12, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is expanding its recalls involving Takata air bag inflators. First, Toyota will conduct a recall to replace Takata-supplied driver front airbag inflators on approximately 160,000 model year 2004 and 2005 RAV4 sport utility vehicles. The inflators could potentially be susceptible to rupture when deployed in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. For similar reasons, Toyota will expand two existing recalls for Takata-supplied front passenger airbag inflators, namely: Toyota's nationwide recall launched in April 2013 will expand to include approximately an additional 177,000 model year 2003-2004 Tundra and model year 2004 Sequoia vehicles.
