Vehicle up for bid is a 1987 300zx Turbo.  This Z is in excellent condition and is nearly rust-free, almost impossible to find at this age.  This car has been in my possession for over a year and I am the third owner AFAIK.  Car drivers down the road straight and is tight and responsive.  The interior is mint with no rips or wear on the seats, carpet is clean and free from stains, dash is perfect without warping or damage, doorpanels are the nicest I've seen ... also appears to have been a smoke-free car.  Paints shines nicely and body is very straight, trim is all present.  There are a few minor dings and scratches consistent with its age but overall the car presents itself very well.   I have personally done all maintenance and repairs on this car and have tried my best to ensure it remains reliable and fun to drive for years to come. Here is a list of repair/replaced/refurbished items:

1) Timing belt/tensioner/Cylinder Head Temp Sensor (CHTS) & subharness
2) water pump/hoses/coolant/thermostat
3) alt/ps/AC belts
4) Clutch master & slave cylinders & DOT4 fluid
5) pads/rotors front & rear, entire brake system bled with fresh DOT4 fluid
6) differential and transmission fluid changed (Synchromesh in tranny, Mobil1 75-90 in diff)
7) plugs/cap/rotor/wires/
8) oil changed
9) polyurethane sway bar bushings front & rear
10) 3" turbo back exhaust terminating to a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler, throaty & mellow with no drone or raspiness
11) shocks/struts replace with KYB's by previous owner


cosmetic/electrical:
1) aftermarket steering wheel
2) aftermarket shift knob
3) faux suede headliner
4) ADR M-Sport wheels with new 235/45/17 tires
5) decent pioneer CD headunit with aftermarket speakers
6) new headlight switch
7) boost gauge installed in place of center pod, works well (set at 7/8 psi for safe yet effective performance gain)

Needs:
1) AC/blower doesn't work (didn't fix because...... T-tops)
2) haven't figured how to hook up horn with new steering wheel.  Will come with old wheel if you prefer...
3) driver fog light bulb
4) headlight motors tempermental, did headlight-down mod to alleviate problem
5) burns a little oil, could use new valve seals.  Motor runs perfectly otherwise.

This car has very few needs and could easily be a great daily driver with a bit of work.  It is extremely difficult to find a Z31 with no rust and this car is as close as you can get.  The only rust present is a tiny spot just below the pass taillights (will update ad with pic).  The quarters and undercarriage are all totally rust free.  Fenders and rocker panels are totally rust free.  Crossmember mounting points and unibody frame rails are totally rust free.   There is a bit of surface rust under the tool kit, it is not structural and has not perforated the metal.  Car is located in lower Westchester County in Yonkers, NY and can either be picked up in person or I can assist in loading onto the carrier of your choice.  I require a $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction's end and the remainder to be paid within 10 days via paypal or certified bank check.  Cash upon pickup in person is welcome, of course.  Any questions please feel free to ask, I will answer as best and as promptly as I can.   Car may be viewed locally with appointment.  Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early.  Good luck and thanks for looking!

***I will be away on a family vacation from 15th to the 18th which may cause a slight delay in communications***

We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.

2013 Nissan Juke Nismo is the runabout we've always wanted

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo has officially bowed at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. Wearing a full body kit that serves up 37-percent more downforce than the standard front and rear fascias, the tuned hatchback also comes equipped with larger 18-inch wheels and a lowered suspension. Up front, LED daytime running lights join the festivities as well as contrasting side-view mirror covers and wider fender flares. Inside, buyers can expect to find a new sports steering wheel clad in Alcantara, as well as a set of Nismo seats stitched with red accents.
Nismo also cranked up the power on the Juke's turbocharged direct-injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The Juke Nismo delivers 197 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, compared to the 188 hp and 177 lb-ft available in stock configuration. Buyers can have the engine with either a six-speed manual transmission or CVT gearbox, and the Juke Nismo can also be had with either all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Check out the full press release below for more information.
