FOR SALE! THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LOOK! 

I have wanted a 300ZX for years and I finally picked one up a little while back. As much as I have enjoyed ripping up the on-ramps/off-ramps and getting some wind and sun with the tops off, a change in circumstance has given me the need to sell. I will be moving and simply will not have space to keep the car, nor the time to do what I intended (NA to TT conversion, body work, etc). 

The car runs, drives but could use some TLC.  I am the third owner, and it originally came out of California. I have the title in hand, with no lien on it, of course. I did a few minor things like replace a few soft fuel lines, do a new fuel filter (it was needed BADLY) and an oil change. My consensus below: 

The GOOD:
Runs and drives! 
Tires have great tread
Brakes feel solid
Suspension still feels great 
T-Tops DO NOT LEAK! 

The BAD:
Power steering pump is on the outs. I looked for leaks, the line's are fine, it appears to actually be the pump
A/C is Inop
Some of the speakers are blown
The key lock cylinders in the doors do not engage the door locks. From what I can tell this is fixed with a $25 part available from any of the Z car resto websites. 
Intermittent check engine light at start, more frequent when it's hot out. May need a new MAF. 

The UGLY:
There is a rather large portion of rust on the passenger side door 
Rust has developed on the rear sections of each rocker panel 
The passenger side mirror housing has a small crack
The hood has picked up some hail damage (can't really find any elsewhere on the car) 

Given that it runs and drives, and is still fun as hell... this NA Auto 300ZX with TTops is perfect for the enthusiast looking for a project (as I was) that can still be enjoyed until the project commences. With an increased work load, and my location changing, I just can't practically keep this Z around. I wish I could, and it pains me to write this ad. 

Please text me (224-558-8372) Vehicle is available to show Wednesday nights, Fridays all day, and Sundays all day. Carfax available upon request.

Nissan had to re-edit this commercial two times to placate Aussie ad watchdog [w/poll]

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Nissan recently aired a commercial in Australia for its Pulsar SSS hatchback - think of it as a five-door relative of our Sentra - in which a couple is seen hastily making their way to the hospital ahead of giving birth. But the ad you can watch now isn't the same ad that aired originally - in fact, Nissan had to re-edit the commercial twice before the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) would accept it.
According to Go Auto, the original ad received complaints that it depicted unsafe and reckless driving, including speeding, following cars too closely and screeching to a halt upon arriving at the hospital. One of the complaints reportedly read: "The advertisement promotes driving behavior (rapid acceleration/deceleration/changes of direction) that is counter to sound medical advice regarding the carriage of heavily pregnant women in motor vehicles."
In the first edit, Nissan lowered the vehicle's engine noise, removed the woman's speech urging the man to drive faster ("Go, go, go!") and inserted a disclaimer that read "Filmed under controlled conditions," according to Go Auto, but all of that still wasn't enough to appease the ASB.

Infiniti readying small crossover for China, is it Juke based?

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

The small crossover is the superstar segment of the global automotive industry at the moment. With the love that Nissan has for the form with vehicles like the Juke and the Rogue, it should come as no surprise that Infiniti is going to hop into the market as well. However, its luxury CUV is likely going to remain exclusive to China for the time being.
The first hint of the Chinese Infiniti crossover leaked as dark silhouette looking a lot like the Juke, during a brand press conference said to be held in Beijing. It suggested that the model would use the Nissan platform but incorporate unique styling.
Leftlane News speculated that it could be among the company's debuts at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, but that appears not to be the case. Infiniti spokesperson Kyle Bazemore has confirmed to Autoblog that a "small premium crossover" is under development for China. However, "Details of the vehicle will be announced at a later date. It will not debut at Beijing Motor Show," he said. Also, don't get too excited about the prospects of driving an Infiniti small CUV, because Bazemore says the company has no plans to offer this model elsewhere.

Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:
