Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Failed Smog test. Probably because of one side of the engine having cylinders with low compression. Damaged front bumper, missing air intake cover. Dented front upper frame, and dented hood.Interior: Broken driver's side seat.Additional: Broken Antenna."

My Promise: When I originally got this car I got ripped off by a used car dealership. The engine had major oil leaks and broke down within a year. I won't lie or deceive anyone about the condition of the car. That being said, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone that doesn't know about cars (i.e. this shouldn't be your first car). It's a beautiful car that must be worked on. You should be comfortable with more than just brake changes and tune ups. I can provide you via email a copy of the car manual if you don't have it yet.

Important information: The car did not pass smog test. A friend that studied mechanics performed a compression test on all six cylinders and determined that one of the the cylinders had low compression. Everything else works well. Good thread and quality tires. Good maintenance given to car. K&N Filters, new spark plugs,etc. Changed the front rotors and all brake pads 2 years ago.

Engine: The original engine was replaced at 189,000 miles for an imported engine. The timing belt, front and rear crankshaft seals were replaced. The old intake manifold was used (new gasket used of course) to comply with US smog specs. The clutch disk was also replaced.  The battery is also relatively new and the lower clutch cylinder was replaced because it was leaking.

Interior: Usual wear and tear but the driver's side seat tilts a little too much (the frame is broken. I took it to get it welded but they said they couldn't do it due to the location of the break). There is a tear on the driver's side door plastic. There is also significant wear on the shift stick cover and the steering wheel. The cloth seats have no tears.

About the exterior:The car has a damaged front bumper that will need replacement. The cover protecting the dual air intake is missing. The hood has some dents. The front part of the frame of the car some damage from when I hit a truck at 15 miles an hour. The truck had no scratches, but the Z needed the front sustained damage to front frame (showed in pictures). Besides that the rest of the car has scratches here and there but no major damage. The radio antenna is broken (dumb carwash!).

Reason for selling: My new job is 50+ miles away, I need an economy car or a Tesla.

The best thing about this car: I've never raced but I did once on my younger days take this car at 140+ without a problem. At 222 hp and 198 ft lb of torque it has the power to accelerate quickly and go through hills without a problem. The tires and hard suspension means you can go 80+ and have good solid control (unlike the tiny honda I drive now). It also features 4 wheel disc brakes and an advanced coil ignition for its time.

The worst about this car: The car has a lot of small tubes (vacuum) that will make it hard to put back together if you remove the intake manifold.

Pricing: Keep in mind that on KBB.com the "Fair" condition is $3620 and the "Good" condition is $4320. It would be fair to say that this car falls somewhere in between.

Nissan Patrol attempts Guinness record with 170-ton cargo plane tow

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Yesterday, Nissan teased us with a video showing a Patrol pulling up to a 170-ton cargo plane at an airport in the Middle East - we could only assume that the not-for-America sports utility vehicle would attempt to tow the jet.
Well, somebody leaked the official Nissan video, which indeed shows the Patrol successfully pulling the plane 30 meters for what reportedly is a Guinness world record. While Guinness hasn't confirmed the record on its website at time of writing, the 170-ton jet would be the heaviest plane ever towed by a production automobile. The video was taken down quickly, but another video shot by an observer at the event was posted for our enjoyment. We figured Nissan would move to repost the official video sooner rather than later, and it did.
The Patrol seems to have no problem towing 340,000 pounds, but let's just say it wasn't a quick ordeal. Check out the official and unofficial video of the tow below, as well as Nissan's teaser video. In a reversal of fortunes, we also threw in another, somewhat smaller but perhaps just as impressive vid, just for fun.

Ghosn: Nissan-Renault strife and his arrest can be traced back to Macron

Wed, Jan 8 2020

PARIS — Ex-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn said on Wednesday that a surprise corporate move, orchestrated five years ago by French President Emmanuel Macron, who was then economy minister, soured relations between Renault and Nissan and contributed to his ouster. Ghosn, the former head of the car alliance, said Nissan executives and Japanese officials were shocked by a 2015 decision by the French government to increase its voting rights at Renault. "This left a big bitterness. Not only with the management of Nissan, but also the government of Japan," Ghosn told reporters, although he did not name Macron. "And this is where the problem started." Macron's office did not respond to a request for comment. In April 2015, as a 37-year-old minister with then-unknown presidential ambitions, Macron ordered a surprise increase in the state's stake in Renault designed to secure double voting rights. The overnight move gave the French state a blocking minority in Renault, which in turn controlled Nissan via its 43.4 percent stake in the Japanese firm. According to French and Japanese sources, that rattled the Japanese side of the Renault-Nissan alliance, which feared a national champion was falling under the control of the French government. In the ensuing eight-month boardroom fight between Macron's ministry and Hiroto Saikawa — Nissan's second-in-command at the time — Ghosn sees the seeds of what he says grew into a conspiracy to have him arrested and oust him from control of Nissan. The 65-year-old fled Japan last month as he awaited trial on charges of under-reporting earnings, breach of trust and misappropriation of company funds, all of which he denies. He is now in Lebanon, where he spoke to international media on Wednesday. "There started to be some kind of defiance from our Japanese colleagues, not only about the alliance but also about me," Ghosn told reporters. "And some of our Japanese friends thought: The only way to get rid of the influence of Renault on Nissan is to get rid of him," he added. "Unfortunately, they were right." Following Ghosn's arrest in November 2018, Nissan executives said that said governance had been eroded by RenaultÂ’s control.

Infiniti rolls out new badge, brand experience — even a brand scent

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Infiniti kicked off a brand refresh Thursday, showing off a new logo (and corresponding changes to its physical emblems), dealership aesthetic and what brand representatives described as elements of its "multisensory experience." Do you know what Infiniti is supposed to smell like? Well, you're about to learn.  The alterations to the logo are subtle from dead on, but as you can see from our featured image above, its physical form is far more intricate and three-dimensional. This is the fourth generation of Infiniti's signature since the brand was launched in 1989. Yep — Nissan's upscale division is 35 years old this year. Can you believe that? The most significant visual difference is the alterations to the "road" in the center of the logo. Infiniti says this was done to emphasize the notion that the road is endless — infinite, if you will. The clipped point represents the horizon. The physical badges will be illuminated, "boldly" announcing the car's arrival.  "Our aim was to subtly evolve the INFINITI logo in support of the bright new chapter that lays ahead," said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti SVP of global design. "Adding greater emphasis to the point where the infinite road intersects with the horizon, we are showcasing our steadfast commitment to always look forward to the future and to new horizons." The new badge will also be accompanied by a new signature scent and signature sound. The former is a blend of Japanese cypress, cedar and yuzu. The sound "creates a sense of anticipation by marrying powerful musical elements with more serene sounds to deliver a harmonious balance" and will be employed in marketing materials, advertising, dealership experiences and other consumer-facing assets.  A new architectural and interior design direction accompanies the update. The aesthetics are based on the Japanese concept of Ma — "a philosophy that considers the space between things," Infiniti said. The result looks modern, sophisticated and convincingly upscale, reminding us of a cross between a Volvo and Mercedes-Benz showroom. Not a terrible place to be.  Infiniti's new look rolls out today across its digital spaces.
