I bought this one owner car (I am the second owner) with 18k miles three years ago. Needless to say the car is in exceptional condition for its age - the interior looks and smells new, all electronics work including ABS, AC, adjustable suspension and 4 wheel steering. The body is straight and the red paint is original and shiny.

Given the car's age, my previous experience with a low mileage non-turbo Z, and my intention to use it as a reliable weekend driver, I went ahead and completed all scheduled and preventive maintenance:
- 30k mile service which included timing belt replacement (this is very important on Z's since broken belts lead to the loss of an engine) and new cam cover gaskets -~$2.5k job
- New Brembo rotors (front) and Hawk pads (front and back) - ~$0.5k
- New fuel lines, fuel filter and fuel dampener (due to heat soak and old age fuel lines have been know to crack in Zs)
- New battery
- New brake master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder (replaced due to the risk of rubber o-rings in the cylinders failing from old age)
- New Eagle F1 tires - $1.2k (less than 300 miles on these)
- Upgraded tension rods with Energy Suspension bushings
- Fluids (transmission oil, brake and and coolant fluids)

While the 300zx was a car ahead of its time when new, I decided to make a couple of upgrades to address a few weak spots and take advantage of the technological progress since the 90's. All upgrades were made using high quality branded parts.

Performance:
- Dual cone intake with Selin electronic translator (allows the ECU to properly read two MAF input signals) - $0.5k
- Stillen charge pipes
- Upsized aluminum Z1 intercoolers - $0.5k
- New 740cc Nismo injectors - (injectors were ~$1k; this is an upgrade vs. 370cc stock injectors; replacement is highly recommended since the original injectors were not designed for modern ethanol-blended fuels and fail over time)
- 2.5in B&B polished stainless steel quad exhaust - $1.2k
- 17in Senca wheels (in my view these work better vs. 18in since there is no need to lower the car and ruin the ride quality); The wheels have the perfect offset for the Z (no spacers needed) and were made in Japan by Kosei - $1.2k
- Upgraded ECU
- Stillen anti-sway bars (front and back) - improves handling - $0.4k

Convenience / Appearance
- Upgraded stereo system with new head unit equipped with iPod and Bluetooth (Cell Phone) connectivity; Speakers were upgraded at the same time, but BOSE enclosures were retained, preserving the nice bass balance.
- OEM Japanese-market taillights
- OEM Japanese-market nose panel with the Z logo

The car was never raced or abused. I used it mostly for weekend getaways. It is fast, but manageable and handles nicely - tight and controllable. I have the owners manual, three keys (including the titanium key), a copy of the old title as well as receipts from oil changes showing mileage. In addition, I have receipts for maintenance work / upgrades. I also have a CarFax report showing the history prior to my ownership.

GT-R driver walks away from terrifying dragstrip accident

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

With all-wheel drive, launch control and a dual-clutch transmission, the Nissan GT-R may be easier to manage than most supercars. But that doesn't mean that dragging one on a wet strip is a good idea.
Filmed at the Unlimited 500+ drag race in Moscow, Russia, this video depicts a pair of GT-Rs going head to head. But things didn't go quite as planned when the driver of one lost control of her twin-turbo supercar. We'll let the video below speak for itself, but thankfully it appears no one was hurt - an outcome that seems particularly remarkable in light of the fact that it appears that the driver was not wearing a fire suit or helmet.

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.

Japan court adds 10 more days to Ghosn's detention

Sun, Dec 23 2018

A Japanese court on Sunday extended for 10 days the detention of ousted Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, who is facing new allegations of making the car maker shoulder $16.6 million in personal investment losses. The extension announced by the Tokyo District Court means Ghosn will remain in Tokyo's main detention center, where he has been confined since his arrest last month on initial allegations of financial misconduct. Ghosn was re-arrested on Friday based on suspicions that around October 2008 he shifted personal trades to Nissan to make it responsible for 1.85 billion yen ($16.6 million) in appraisal losses, prosecutors said. They said the move inflicted damage on Nissan by having it deposit a total of $14.7 million on four occasions between June 2009 and March 2012 into a related bank account.
