1996 300ZX Convertible
Rare & Unique

Hey everyone, here is a opportunity to own a rare and unique 1996 300ZX convertible. If you know 300ZX's you know how rare the convertible is out of 89,156 cars produced, the convertible was only made 1993-1996. And only 3,846 out of the 89,156 and you always seen them for sale but rarely see a 1996 due to the fact that only 194 were made out of the 4000 so you can see how rare this car is. This car started as a bone stock car when i bought it and over the years, i have upgraded and modified it to become a show car and daily summer car. I installed west wings front bumper and side skirts with a Stillen rear bumper then painted it, a custom candy orange that pictures can't due it justice which cost over $5,000 with installation of body kit. the Kit is not perfect due to the front bumper but still show quality. I upgraded to Nissan skyline r34 front and rear calipers with crossed drilled slotted rotors stock wheels no longer fit due to bigger calipers I installed 20" wheels with deep 5" chrome lip they ride and handle amazing no rubbing and great ride. On the engine I installed unorthodox racing under drive pulleys only thing left to hook up a/c have the parts was working before removed. I have also upgraded air cleaner to Jim wolf style like k&n but better. I upgraded to a cat back exhaust 2.5" with O2 simulators sounds great nice and throaty like an F1 car maybe too loud for some but I love it. I started to upgrade interior and will be finished before action ends except for seats but will include a passenger power seat pre-wired interior color is black with orange suede accents with carbon fiber trim has custom door panels with JBL speakers in custom boxes. will also include a double din radio DVD touchscreen alpine with a custom carbon fiber bezel.

I hate to let vehicle go but here is your chance to own a unique rare car at a fraction of whats invested. As always have to sell due to financial reasons I am sure their is stuff i forgot to list like the 8000k hid kit installed and so on so please call me to inspect vehicle or test drive vehicle call Tammy at 708-691-4954. shipping is buyer responsibility.

Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge gets the heart of a GT-R [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

There has been ongoing talk of an Infiniti using the Nissan GT-R powertrain practically since the moment the Nissan's flagship sports coupe hit the road. While the rumors have gone back and forth over the years, they have never completely gone away. It seems Infiniti is finally turning an ear to the screams of its most vocal enthusiasts with an updated version of the Q50 Eau Rouge concept boasting a modified version of Godzilla's engine and all-wheel drive system debuting at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It's even taking things a step further and granting it a new, seven-speed transmission to replace the Nissan's six-speed.
The latest evolution of the Eau Rouge packs the same 3.8-liter, twin turbocharged V6 found in the GT-R but with a unique tune of 560 horsepower and 443 pound-feet (600 Newton-meters) of torque. That makes it 15 hp more powerful than the standard 2015 GT-R but gives up 20 lb-ft of torque. Power gets to the ground through the GT-R's all-wheel-drive system. Infiniti predicts that the Eau Rouge would sprint to 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds and on to a top speed of 180 mph.
According to Infiniti Communications Senior Manager Kyle Bazemore in an email to Autoblog, the modded GT-R powertrain was not the only choice for the Eau Rouge. It also considered "developing a high-power sports diesel" and hybrid versions with an electric supercharger. However, "this was the clear solution for this concept car," Bazemore said. Other than the drivetrain, the Eau Rouge in Switzerland is identical to the one shown in Detroit. Sadly, it is not confirmed for production; so we might not be getting the fabled Infiniti GT-R sedan any time soon. Still, we can hope.

What happens to Renault-Nissan after Ghosn is gone?

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Carlos Ghosn is a very, very busy man. Like, really busy. As in, he heads up three automakers (and their subsidiaries), running facilities in 68 countries and selling vehicles in 170 different markets across the globe. He flies over 300,000 miles per year and works 15 to 16 hours a day, just to manage an alliance between the Japanese and French that's responsible for an expected $140 billion in sales this year alone. The Chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, Ghosn has managed a number of remarkable feats during his time at both automakers, but there are some that are questioning how much longer the 60-year-old exec can handle the punishing nature of his responsibilities. According to Fortune, six months ago Ghosn signed a four-year contract to continue running Renault, while his tenure at Nissan will continue until at least 2017. Beyond that, though, the future is rather murky, and it's made worse by the high-level turnover that Renault-Nissan has experienced over the past few years, losing execs like Carlos Tavares, Johan de Nysschen and Andy Palmer. Fortune has an excellent, and lengthy, feature on Ghosn, his responsibilities and the danger posed to Renault-Nissan by his departure. If you're at all curious about what the exec has done for the two automakers, how this alliance has worked when so many other industry partnerships have failed and just what a post-Ghosn future may hold, head over and have a look.

2015 Nissan Murano could have been a lot more boring to look at

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

When it debuted at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the third-generation Nissan Murano wowed us more than just about any other car on hand (that's sort of why we handed it an Editors' Choice for the NYIAS). It's sharp, aggressive design was a dramatic departure from the smoother styling of the second-gen CUV, although it wasn't too polarizing. Most importantly, though, it was a vehicle with actual design presence - you want to see it from every angle, all of which draw your eye with something new.
Of course, settling on the design for a new vehicle is far from a straightforward process. While a design might take shape on a designer's drafting table, there are a huge number of steps it needs to get through before making it to an auto show stage or to your local dealer. According to Nissan engineer Chris Reed, those steps very nearly curtailed the Murano's design before the first die was even cast.
Reed has a full account of this sharp design's trials and tribulations in a must-read story from Ward's.
