Up for sale is my beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 automatic. This is a wonderful car that is a blast to drive and gets looks everywhere I go. I hate to sell it but a new pair of twins in my life means that priorities have to change.

A brief history of the car: The car was purchased from the original owner in 1998 from my Wife’s uncle. He passed it down to my brother in-law in 2005. Unfortunately my wife’s uncle did not take very good care of the car’s engine which forced my brother in-law to correct a few issues. He decided to replace the engine with a JDM spec motor in an attempt to have two engines to work with if needed. At the same time the car would be gone through and anything that needed attention would be addressed. My brother in-law owned a custom car shop at the time and all of the work was performed professionally in his shop. At the time of the engine swap the car had just over 90K miles. In the summer of 2006 the engine was replaced with an engine pulled from the front clip of a similar year JDM Fairlady Z. The JDM motor had approximately 50-60K miles on it. During the swap the new engine received a complete major tune-up along with several major service items. Below is a list of all items and services performed during the engine swap:

50-60K miles JDM NA engine swap
Timing belt replacement
Cam shaft oil seal replacement
new water pump
new power steering pump and pressure hose
PVC valve
new platinum spark plugs
new plug wires
6 new fuel injectors
new motor mounts
new exhaust header installed

After the engine swap the plan for the car was to turn the car into a period correct 90s custom. The following parts were also installed on the car:

Set of staggered width IMPUL RS 16” wheels with new tires
Full Tokico HP Blue Shock/Strut replacement
Eibach Pro Kit suspension springs
Complete Energy Suspension bushing set
Greddy SP2 stainless cat back exhaust system
Custom intake kit
OBX stainless steel headers
Drilled and Slotted rotors with carbon ceramic performance brake pads

In addition to the performance parts several other items have also been addressed:

New weather strip around windows
new floor mats
New CD/MP3 player with 4 new speakers
recharged A/C system (blows ice cold)

As of 10/2013 the car now also has a completely rebuilt transmission. The tranny was the last item on the powertrain that needed addressed when my brother in-law had the car and it went out last month. I had a transmission specialist completely rebuild the tranny (new clutch pack, gears, everything) to the tune of $2500. The car now runs, sounds, and drives amazing.

With all of the powertrain and chassis items sorted out the only thing left is the body which unfortunately I cannot afford to update right now. The body is in really good condition as is but a paint job would make the car absolutely perfect. There a few small dings here and there and the front bumper has a few scuffs. The paint is original and shows pretty good for a 20+ year old car. As you can see from the pictures the car looks great and can certainly be driven as is. The interior is also in great shape. Everything except for the radio is original and again shows really well for the age. All gauges, A/C, lights, power windows, and locks work as they should.

I tried to cover everything I can think of about the car. My family has babied this car over the years and it shows. All it needs now is a new owner to enjoy this awesome sports car.

Nissan settles with FTC over misleading dune buggy ad [w/videos]

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

A couple years ago, Nissan created a series of commercials for its compact Frontier pickup showing the truck performing outlandish stunts such as snowboarding, saving a passenger airplane from a crash landing and climbing a steep sand dune to help a stranded dune buggy. As crazy as the first two commercials were, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took issue with the latter, titled Hill Climb, with the agency considering it to be a misleading commercial since both vehicles required a cable to reach the top of the steep dune.
As such, Ad Age is reporting that Nissan - and its ad agency TBWA Worldwide - has settled with the FTC over the ad despite the fact that it features a disclaimer stating: "Fictionalization. Do not attempt." Nissan did not have to pay out any money in the settlement, but it is prohibited "from using potentially misleading demonstrations in future advertisements for pickups." In addition to the offending commercial, posted below, we've included some of the other related videos from the same Frontier campaign.

It could be triplets and there would *still* be enough room for the Queen... #XTrail #SevenSeats #RoyalBaby pic.twitter.com/k4HiNAb7lq
