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!

Nissan Canada kills Cube, is US next?

Mon, 12 May 2014

Canadians, say goodbye to the quirky Nissan Cube. In fact, it's too late; it's already gone. The question now becomes whether the boxy model gets the axe in the US as well.
Nissan didn't exactly publicize the Cube's Canadian retirement. An Autos.ca reader noticed that the vehicle was no longer listed on the automaker's official site in the Great White North. He tweeted the company about it and was told, "Yes, the Nissan Cube has been discontinued in Canada."
The news certainly makes you wonder what the future for the model is in the US. The Cube isn't exactly a hot seller here, either. According to Nissan's last sales results, it sold just 356 units in April, down 23.9 percent from a year ago, and 1,604 vehicles from January to April, down 33.7 percent. Annual sales were as high as 23,000 units in 2010, but they started dipping as early as 2011.

EZ-Charge program will get rolled out for all vehicles [UPDATE]

Wed, May 21 2014

UPDATE: It appears that Chargepoint has pulled out of the program. It looks like a myriad of vehicles will be eligible for the single-card recharging program under NRG Energy's NRG eVgo division. The EZ-Charge platform that Nissan said last month would allow Leaf owners to use multiple vehicle recharging networks with a single card will soon be offered to other plug-in vehicles. eVgo will start sending out EZ-Charge cards this summer to various markets in Northern and Southern California and Texas as well as the Pacific Northwest, Phoenix, Nashville and Washington, DC. EZ-Charge uses a single card that is good for eVgo stations as well as stations within the ChargePoint, Blink and AeroVironment networks. It will debut in 10 EZ-Charge markets on July 1. By mid-2015, 15 more markets will be added. Nissan announced the 'No Charge to Charge' program last month at the New York Auto Show. Nissan said at the time that Leaf buyers would get two years of free charging, but individual charging sessions were limited to 30 minutes at CHAdeMO stations and an hour at the more-common Level 2 stations. The automaker also estimated that the 25 markets included by next year account for more than 80 percent of US Leaf sales. Take a look at NRG's press release below. NRG eVgo Introduces New Convenience to Electric Vehicle Charging First-of-Its-Kind EZ-Charge All-Access Card gives EV drivers convenience to use chargers from multiple charging providers PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This summer, NRG eVgo, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG), will roll out the EZ-Charge (SM) platform, a first-of-its-kind initiative that will offer electric vehicle (EV) drivers the ability to access multiple EV charging networks with a single all-access card. "For too long, EV drivers have been limited to only the chargers that were in their network meaning they might drive past a number of charging stations in other company's networks before they could get to one they could use with their current provider" The EZ-Charge platform will enable drivers of any electric car make or model to carry a single access card for charging on multiple networks, much like consumers today carry a single credit card to access multiple retailers.

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.
