This car has no radio other than the sweet, sweet sound of a twin-turbo drive train. (Where did you think those gauges were installed? It is more stealthy, and desirable, trust me.)

This car ain't no garage queen. Nope.

This car runs and drives like a champion because it is one, and I have the time slips from Sacramento Raceway to prove it (14.1 seconds @ 13 PSI, currently running 15 PSI). This car is also an excellent platform for other motorsports, or will suffice as an excellent GT car (as it was intended); whatever your path, in driving this car, you will experience enjoyment.

The car is ready to be painted the color of your dreams (currently painted flat-white with black accents).

The original seats are ready to be restored or refinished in the fashion of your choosing. If fact, the interior, though cared for, does look appropriate for a car of this vintage.

I have a stack of paperwork of the amount of money I have in the car, and my mechanic rents a room from me, so he can tell you about the long hours he's spent setting up the car, and I can tell you about the bills. -- So, I know what it costs to buy and own these cars. This is an original twin turbo, first year of a limited production, with a clean title, it is completely sound mechanically, it has the real transmission (lol @ automatics), and it comes with all the goodies. (Working automatic climate control? Yup.)

WHY AM I SELLING?
I have the title, but the previous owner didn't smog it. So, this car is stuck in smog limbo, meaning you cannot transfer the title until you smog the car (EDIT: NOT A PROBLEM IF YOU'RE OUT OF STATE). I did everything I could to get it to pass, but I couldn't, so I built the car to run a couple of times down the strip at the Speedway. Now I'm tired of this smog nonsense (I'm still trying to find a smog guy that'll hook me up...) and I want a car that I can street legally (EDIT: THE TAGS ARE STILL GOOD), something preferably pre-smog (like a 240z). (That's what I get for being new to California's smog laws).

The first 11,000 takes the car.

CAR SOLD AS-IS. NO WARRANTY.

Test drive available with the cash in hand. Otherwise, I'll be the one driving. And yes, we can run it at Sacramento Speedway if it'll make you happy. You break it, you buy it.

Nissan rowed the Note ashore [w/video]

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Normally we wouldn't suggest trying to float your car on water, but Nissan has made some modifications to turn its new Versa Note hatchback into a makeshift rowing shell.
Nissan replaced the car's rear seats with a sliding rear rowing seat, modified the doors to open wider at 90 degrees and fitted a pair of oars. Most importantly, they put the whole thing on a floating platform to keep it from sinking into Eton Dorney Lake, the site of the 2012 Olympic rowing competitions in England (where the car is simply known as the Nissan Note).
Then they invited medal-winning competitive rowers Helen Glover, Sophie Hosking and Polly Swann to come along and row the thing, making use of the around-view monitor system to see where they were going. All in all it may not be quite as cool as the boats which Fiat made out of the 500 or Mini made out of its convertible, but it's still enough to float our boat. Check it out in the video clip and press release below and the image gallery above.

Mitsubishi cheated on Japanese fuel economy test since 1991

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Mitsubishi now says that its cheating on Japanese fuel economy tests stretches as far back as 1991. The automaker has hired an independent panel of investigators to get to the bottom of what happened, and the company will give them three months to prepare a report about the deception. Mitsubishi's cheat involves how the company calculated driving resistance to determine fuel economy. In 1991, Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Act established a coasting test to establish the driving resistance, but Mitsubishi's engineers used their own "high-speed coasting test," according to its statement. In 2007, the company decided to only use the country's mandated evaluation, but the employees kept utilizing the high-speed test in the field. In the most recent scandal, workers selected low values for driving resistance from the results, which made the fuel economy look better. Mitsubishi's presented these details in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. "We are currently investigating the reasoning behind each of the decisions," the company said in a statement. It also hired three former prosecutors to figure out why this happened for so long. At this time, Mitsubishi only confirms the incorrect figures for some of the company's minicars, but this investigation could discover more transgressions. This fiasco started when Nissan discovered fuel economy discrepancies in some of its Mitsubishi-made tiny kei-class cars in Japan. Mitsubishi came clean and admitted the problem affected about 625,000 vehicles in the country. Japanese media have alleged more vehicles have incorrect mileage, including the Outlander. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US has also requested data from the Japanese automaker to confirm similar deceptions didn't happen for vehicles here.

Nissan Zeod RC crash test looks like crushing the tip on a pencil

Fri, 16 May 2014

Nissan has already showed us the 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine 400 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, augmented by an electric motor, that sits in back of the ZEOD RC headed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At the ZEOD RC's other end is a carbon fiber crash structure that has to be tested against an immovable object, and Nissan has seen fit to show us that, too.
You know what to expect if you've seen a crash test before, but the really pointy nose on this car reminds us of a Faber Castell HB pencil being sent to its death. Better yet, it's in slow motion, and you can watch it below.
