I am the second owner of this car, the first owner unfortunately died! He lost out on a great car! ;( It was originally purchased and stored in Santa Clara, CA. When I purchased the vehicle, it had not been driven in 10 years. I have the full CarFax report with the maintenance records and mileage documentation.

I have put a lot of work into restoring this beauty, here is a list of what has been done:


Engine/Drive Train/Suspension:

Battery
Timing Belt
Water Pump

Fan Clutch
Thermostat
All Belts & Hoses
Radiator Flush
Power Steering Flush
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Air Filter
Tires
Brake Pads
Shocks
Bushings

Interior/Electrical/Cosmetic:

Headliner
Rear Hatch Carpet
Rear Hatch Support Struts
Rear Hatch Weather Seal
Headlights
Front Windshield Wipers
Kenwood Radio/MP3/Hands Free/Bluetooth
Rockford Fosgate Door & Rear Speakers
Kenwood Amplifier For Door & Rear Speakers under Passenger Seat
10" Kenwood Subwoofer in Custom Box w/Amp & Wiring Kit
A/C Double Solenoid Valve (Controls Air Vent Flow Shutters)
New Woodgrain Trim for Window Switches & A/C Unit
Custom Matching Woodgrain Trim for Kenwood Radio
New Z Emblem for Steering Wheel
New RearView Mirror & Support Base
New Center Console Leather Lid & Support
Rear Hatch Trim Piece
Rear Hatch Speaker Grilles


There may have been some more things that I can't remember, I have records for everything and will provide them to the buyer.

The car runs and drives very well. I drove it down from San Francisco and it didn't skip a beat. It has been garage kept and never driven in the rain.

Now, here is what needs to be done to make this vehicle mint condition:

Replace Steering Rack
Potentially Replace Clutch
Minor Paint Reconditioning

The interiror is an 8.5/10. There are some small stains on the carpet and the passenger seat leather is a little hard on the base. There are no tears/rips and it is very clean. No cracks on the windshield, No cracks on the dash.

This car is equipped with every feature you could get in 1985. It includes the Digitial Dash, Compass, Accelerometer, and talking warning system. It has heated mirrors, automatic a/c, cruise control, power locks/windows, T-Tops, MPG Indicator, Turbo, Boost Indicator, Headlight Washers, and probably some more things I can't think of.

In addition to the car, I have spare parts, (sometimes rare to find), interior pieces, the original radio with equalizer, original speaker amplifier, original sales brochure, misc. magazine articles from the 80's that show off the car and several other relevant things. This will be included for free if the car sells for Buy It Now price.

Why am I selling it? Good question! This is my 3rd 300zx, I love these cars!! I also love fixing them and restoring the cars back to how they were in the 80's, just love them!! Anyways, My business has taken off and I do not have the time to spend with the Z any more.  I leased a new car and find myself neglecting the Z. I only drive it once or twice a month and for the rest of the time it just sits in the garage. 

Please send any questions or offers you may have.

Behold your 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan, America

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

If you've been hoping that the 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan would adopt something of the Versa Note hatchback's styling aesthetic, consider your hopes dashed. This is the facelifted four-door Versa, which is set to make its official debut next week at the New York Auto Show.
You can make your own minds up on the exterior rework, which is a fairly gentle evolution of the current model. The headlights and a new, familial grille are the two big changes for the front of the Versa that give it a bit of Altima style. Out back, the headlights are slightly tweaked, while a sportier rear bumper is the most noticeable change. The top-end Versa SL also adds new mirrors, complete with Audi-ish integrated turn signals, while the Versa SV adds new 15-inch alloys.
Tweaks for the Versa's huge interior are kept to a minimum, and constitute a new steering wheel and a tweak to the center stack, along with some improved materials. Like the Versa Note, Nissan has fitted the NissanConnect infotainment system, although it's only available on the Versa SL.

North Carolina now charging $100-per-year EV road-use fee

Wed, Jan 15 2014

Tobacco Road just got a little more expensive for drivers of electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S. This year, North Carolina started instituting an annual $100 road-use fee for electric-vehicle drivers in order to close at least a little of the budgetary shortfall for road maintenance in the Tar Heel State, the News Observer reports. North Carolina legislators failed to green-light a hybrid-vehicle fee of $50 a year, which may have made a little more of a dent in the state's road funding. As it is, about 1,600 EVs are registered in North Carolina, meaning that the state will collect about $160,000 in such fees this year. And while some in the state are concerned that the fee could hurt EV adoption, others say it's fair because of the $7,500 in federal tax credits EV buyers get. Oh, and the fact that EV drivers don't pay gasoline taxes. Either way, the fees are a proverbial drop in the bucket, as North Carolina's transportation shortfall is estimated to average about $2 billion a year during the next three decades or so. Other states are starting to charge EV drivers a road-use fee as well. Last February, Washington State began instituting its own electric-vehicle fee of $100 per annum, and a number of other states are considering similar policies.

Nissan shows self-cleaning car coated in nano paint

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

Washing the car is an activity like mowing the lawn that some people love and others find to be an absolute chore. For the latter group, Nissan may have an answer. Nissan is testing a nano-paint coating that could make the car wash a very infrequent place to visit.
Shown on a European Note hatchback, the key is a special layer of super-hydrophobic and oleophobic material called Ultra-Ever Dry that is sprayed over the paint. It creates a protective layer between the body and environment, and it means that when dirt or water come into contact with the car, the gunk just sheets away.
Nissan admits that the coating is still early in testing. The key will be if the stuff can actually last for the long term, and the company will be analyzing it over the coming months to see how it will react in different conditions. At the moment, the automaker has no plans to offer Ultra-Ever Dry as a standard feature, but it may make it available as an aftermarket addition in the future. Scroll down to watch the video of Nissan testing the stuff in some very dirty conditions.
