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!

Jay Leno checks out Nissan IDx Nismo, spiritual successor to classic Datsun 510

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Jay Leno may not be spending his night behind the Tonight Show desk anymore, but he's clearly not done rolling precious metal into his garage, intent on putting it through its paces after a thorough investigation. The latest machine to meet Jay on his home turf is the Nissan IDx Nismo Concept that we first saw at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year.
Leno already has love for the classic Datsun 510, which plays a cameo in the video that you'll see below, and he refers to the IDx as the spiritual successor to that car's ethos - driving fun in an affordable package. Fortunately for us, while the IDx is a showcar first and foremost, it is indeed driveable, and Leno, naturally, takes his turn behind the wheel.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
