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 IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."

2014 Rogue kicks off production as 10,000,000th Nissan built in Tennessee

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

News comes across our desks all the time of one manufacturer marking some milestone or another. But Nissan has just announced a double-whammy: Not only has Nissan's assembly plant in Smyrna, TN, just built its ten-millionth vehicle, but that ten-millionth vehicle just so happened to be the first Nissan Rogue to be built in the United States.
The milestone arrives after over three decades of production that has included such nameplates as the Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Leaf, Pathfinder, Infiniti QX60, Xterra, Frontier, and now the Rogue. The latter crossover has swelled into Nissan's second best-selling vehicle, with demand growing by nearly 50 percent from 2010 to 2012. Now redesigned for 2014 and built locally, Nissan is evidently banking on demand continuing to rise.

Nissan is optimistic about FCA partnership, but wants the right terms

Mon, Jun 3 2019

BEIJING – Nissan is optimistic about partnering with a combined Renault and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), as long as it can protect the ownership of technology developed over two decades of working with Renault, a senior executive told Reuters. The executive, who declined to be identified because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said he was cautiously optimistic about the possibility of generating "synergies" by sharing Nissan's autonomous drive know-how, electrification and greenhouse-gas-scrubbing technologies for powertrains. But he said the possible $35 billion merger of Renault and FCA would not give FCA the automatic right to use those technologies, which it needs to meet stringent emissions regulations and better compete in a industry being transformed by electric vehicles. He also floated the possibility that Nissan could look at boosting its stake in Renault, or a merged Renault-FCA, to gain more say in shaping the future of the alliance. "We would go ahead with partnering or cooperating with FCA only if we can guarantee tangible benefits from sharing technologies with FCA and only if we can work out conditions that are satisfactory to us," the Yokohama-based executive said. "If Renault wants to pursue this deal, we feel we need to look seriously at supporting them," he said. The executive's comments highlight how Nissan could look to leverage its advanced technology to gain greater bargaining power with a merged Renault-FCA. Renault is Nissan's top shareholder with a 43.4% shareholding, while Nissan holds a 15% non-voting stake in the French automaker. That unequal partnership has long rankled Nissan, which is the bigger company by far. A Nissan spokesman referred Reuters to a statement issued on Monday, where Nissan Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa said: "I believe that the potential addition of FCA as a new member of the alliance could expand the playing field for collaboration and create new opportunities for further synergies." "That said, the proposal currently being discussed is a full merger which — if realized — would significantly alter the structure of our partner Renault. This would require a fundamental review of the existing relationship between Nissan and Renault," Saikawa said, adding that Nissan would analyze and consider its "existing contractual relationships".
