1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (aka Z32) (aka Fairlady Z) Overall, this car is in very nice condition for a 24 year old car. I purchased this car from my good friend 3 years ago as he soon had children and didn't drive it. I am now finding myself in that boat as my wife and I are expecting and she said I better get something with a back seat. The car currently has 131,900 miles on the odometer. My knowledge on the history of this car starts back in 1998 when my friend purchased it. At that time the car came with a salvage title. I'm not exactly sure what happened to it, but I know the car drives straight and there is no unusual wear on the wheels. The car was completely repainted back in 1999 after being keyed. When they stripped the car, the body shop went through it and found nothing majorly wrong. I have bare metal pictures of the car at the body shop (Polaroid's). My friend thought that it was involved in some insurance fraud case, but that's not certain. The car has the following features:
As mentioned above, the interior was redone in early 2000's. The interior used to be black with white inlays. The interior was changed to all black. The seats, door panels, and center console were redone. There are only issues with the door panels as the passenger door has a few bubbles and the driver's door is pealing (see pictures). This could easily be corrected in an upholstery shop. I just haven't had enough interest to fix it as it's not critical to the function of the car. In early 2000's, my friend rebuild the engine and lowered the compression (for more boost, of course). Upgrades include:
With the upgrades, this car has a lot of power. The car has never been dynoed, but I can assume that the car has somewhere between 450-500 hp based off of similar builds that have been posted online. The car currently has the stock tune and could be retuned for more power. However, for me it runs good enough to make me happy. It does currently run a little rich. Also, I believe the valves will need to be adjusted soon as I'm starting to hear them. Since the rebuild, only Royal Purple full synthetic oil has been used in the engine. The rear differential and transmission currently have Red Line synthetic oil. The car will also come with an assortment of parts including additional stainless lines and AN fittings, extra wiring harness, stock injectors, service cover for the car (covers side fenders and front), FACTORY service manual (aka: the 300ZX bible), timing belt covers (they were removed when the engine was rebuild and never reinstalled), etc. I have most receipts and manuals for the items installed. These cars have been noticed for their power and beauty. Every year from 1990-1996 (last year imported to the US), this car made the "10 best" list by Car and Driver. In 1990 the car was named Motor Trend's "Import Car of the Year," Automobile Magazine named it "Design of the Year," and Road & Track named it "One of the Ten Best Cars in the World." In 2004, Automobile magazine listed the Z32 one of the "100 greatest cars of all time." In 2006, the Z32 was recognized as one of the "20 Greatest Cars of the Past 20 years" and the one of the "25 Most Beautiful Cars in History." Car is sold "as is." The car runs well and has never left me stranded. It is, however, a 20+ year old car. It should also be noted that the rear key for the hatch does not work, but the hatch can be opened by the hatch lever by the driver's seat. I've tried my best to explain the car, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan reveals GT-R LM Nismo, NRG plans eVgo expansion
Mon, Feb 2 2015Nissan has officially revealed the GT-R LM Nismo LMP1 car. The hybrid Le Mans racer uses a biturbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 up front to power the front wheels, plus a kinetic energy recovery system for an extra boost. Football fans likely caught a glimpse of the car in Nissan's With Dad commercial that aired during the Super Bowl, but the company has a couple more videos that show the car off quite well provided below. "This is innovation that excites," Says Nismo president Shoichi Miyatani. "Sustainability is at the top of our agenda, and the technical regulations for Le Mans give us the freedom to pursue new ideas in this area." Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release below. The NRG eVgo charging network now operates 120 DC fast charging stations in California. 60 of those are "Freedom Stations," offering both CHAdeMO and CCS charging cables, and 52 more of these are in the works. NRG plans to expand the eVgo network to 25 US markets in the next two years (up from the current 10), including chargers in Tennessee, as well as linking cities along the near entirety of the East and West coasts. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla has opened its 20th Supercharger station in the UK. The company says it will offer full UK coverage by the end of 2015. As of now, the Supercharger network extends as far north as Edinburgh, southwest to Exeter, and to Maidstone in the southeast, which is just up the road from access to mainland Europe through the English Channel Tunnel. Tesla operates more than 1,600 Superchargers worldwide at over 300 stations, with 129 stations and more than 670 Superchargers in Europe. Read more at Hybrid Cars.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Model S in landslide, Plug'n Drive wants EVs
Mon, Oct 26 2015A woman and child survived a landslide in a Tesla Model S. The front of the car was severely damaged with the hood and front fascia badly crumpled. The rear hatch window glass caved in, but while the windshield was cracked, the safety glass held together. While in another vehicle, the occupants could have been crushed by the tree that landed on the car, the cabin structure of the Model S mostly withstood the pressure, saving the humans inside. It's not the typical situation most people think of when considering car safety, but it is a dramatic example of the protection the Model S offers. Read more and see the aftermath at Green Car Reports. The Renault-Nissan Alliance will provide 200 battery electric vehicles for the United Nation's COP21 climate conference in Paris. Together the cars will drive a combined 400,000 kilometers (about 248,550 miles) emissions-free. The cars - a fleet of Renault Zoes, Nissan Leafs and Nissan e-NV200s - will be used as shuttles for the conference attendees. The Alliance will set up a network of 90 chargers for the event, powered by low-carbon electricity. The residual emissions will be offset through a UN carbon offsetting program. Read more from Nissan, or at Green Car Congress. At the Queen's Park Electric Vehicle Day this week, the non-profit group Plug'n Drive called for Ontario to emphasize vehicle electrification. The group says that adding electric power to more cars, "can make a significant contribution to GHG emission reductions in Ontario, while at the same time benefitting the Ontario economy." GHG are, of course, greenhouse gases. According to the group, there are currently more than 12,140 EVs in Canada. Read more in the press release below. Plug'n Drive advocates for electrification of transportation as a key plank of Ontario's climate change action strategy First ever Electric Vehicle Day at Queen's Park demonstrates the benefits of electric vehicles TORONTO, ON, Oct. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - Plug'n Drive is hosting the first ever Queen's Park Electric Vehicle Day today at 11:00 a.m., providing MPPs from all parties, Ministers, public servants, stakeholders and the public the opportunity to test drive electric cars at all price points and to learn about the environmental and economic benefits of switching from gas to electric.
A look inside Infiniti's variable-compression engine
Thu, Sep 29 2016We're sympathetic to anyone who had trouble understanding what's going on with Infiniti's new variable-compression engine. While we got a full tech briefing on the novel VC-Turbo back in August, the visual aids were lacking. The cutaway engine Infiniti brought to the Paris show fixes all of that. You can thank the little green and pink lines on the cutaway for making the whole idea a little more clear. Click through the gallery to see two lines – one green and one pink – that represent the different strokes allowing for different compression ratios. Remember, the compression ratio is the amount of volume in the cylinder on intake compared to the amount at the end of the compression stroke. Leave more room at the end and you lower that ratio. The length of the stroke doesn't change with this system, but where it sits along the cylinder does. Hence those two lines. The variable compression ratio allows this new turbocharged engine to maximize fuel economy when the turbo isn't needed by raising the compression ratio. It will see its first use in the next Infiniti QX50 crossover, previewed by the QX Sport Inspiration concept that's also on display in Paris, and has performance targets of 268 horsepower and 288 pound-feet of torque. After, it will migrate to other Infiniti and Nissan vehicles, with transverse front-drive-based applications first in line. Eventually, it's likely to completely replace Nissan's corporate 3.5-liter V6. We'll be poking around the engine a little more in Paris today to try and get some more info. For now, enjoy those cutaway images and those friendly little lines.
