Low Miles Stock Original Beautiful 5 Speed T-tops Runs/drives Like New Time Warp on 2040-cars
Hurricane, Utah, United States

One-of-a-kind, female school teacher owned (1985-2001), collector owned (2001-2013), completely stock, original, meticulously maintained, highly-optioned, great driving 1985 Nissan 300ZX with only 91,000 original miles, a perfect Carfax, and the very desirable 5 speed manual transmission. I'm a Z fan from way back who cut his teeth on 240Z's from the early 1970's. I cannot get over what a tight, smooth, civilized driver this Z is. It makes my old stuff (as cool as they were) feel like a Model T. I'm the Ebay go-to guy among my circle of friends and my buddy Brett has asked me to sell it for him.
When the collector bought it in 2001, it had less than 69,000 miles on the odometer. To bring it up to his very high standard, he immediately had the following work done whether it needed it or not: * Keyless remotes installed in doors * Four wheel alignment * Replaced right rear control arm * Replaced both front ball joints * Replaced left front tie-rod end * Flushed and changed radiator coolant * Installed new spark plug wire set * Replaced fan belts * Replaced timing belt * Replaced timing belt tensioner and spring * Installed Alpine stereo (stock stereo is included) * Replaced oil pressure sending unit * Replaced emergency brake cable * Replaced rack and pinion * Completed injector recall * Replaced air flow meter * Installed MagnaFlow exhaust system (sounds wonderful) He only drove it 14,000 miles in 12 years. At 83,000 miles he had the differential and transmission serviced with Red Line fluids. All oil changes have been done with Castrol GTX 10-40 and K&N oil filters (extra filters included). And the alternator and battery have been replaced in the last 6 months. Right now, all it needs are hood struts. I may have them by auction end. In my opinion (and I'm a hard-core car guy), this beautiful 300ZX is virtually mechanically perfect and runs and drives like a new car. It really has to be driven to be believed. And there are zero leaks underneath (see pics). The interior is excellent. Everything works properly (even the cruise control and electric mirrors). AC was converted to R134a in 2006 and works great. Doors open and close with a solid thud and no rattling. Dash is perfect with no cutting or butchery of any kind. All gauges work. And again, the original stereo (not installed) is included in the sale. Only visible flaws are two small cracks; one on the driver side door pull and one on the passenger side rear panel (see pics). And it looks like a liquid spilled long ago on the removable panel in the driver side rear corner below the tool container. I can see pretty obvious evidence of touch-up (see pics). Exterior looks equally great. It had a very high-quality respray in the original color sometime around the turn of the century. It was done shortly before the collector bought it. He kept it in a garage under a cover so the paint quality has remained excellent other than a few small road nicks on the front. T-Tops are in great shape and look like they were rarely removed. They come with removable sun shades and factory protective covers (see pics). Goodyear American Eagle tires are also in great condition and wearing evenly. Underneath, I was able to find one rust spot just in front of the driver side inner fender (see pics), which is impressive for a 29 year old Nissan. This is really a sweet Z. So many were modified and beat on that to find one in this condition (especially with the manual transmission and low miles) is a real treat. I hope she finds a home with someone who prizes her originality. Just my two cents. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And you may want to consider flying in and driving it home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1985 Nissan 300ZX is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding. On Feb-08-14 at 16:46:08 PST, seller added the following information: I found the original window sticker today. How cool is that? Details below... Standard equipment on this model: * Regatta Red Paint - 013 * 5 - Speed Manual Transmission * 3.0 Liter OHC Fuel Injected V-6 Engine * Air Conditioning * T - Bar Roof W/Security Locking * Power Windows and Power Door Locks * Power Assist 4 - Wheel Disc Brakes * Power Rack and Pinion Steering * Tilt Steering Column W/Memory * Alloy Wheels W/215/60R15 Tires * Digital AM/FM Cassette Stereo W/Automatic Electric Antenna * Electronic Security System * Cruise Control W/Resume Feature * Dual Electric Door Mirrors * Multi Function Vocal Warning System * Rear Window Wiper/Washer & Defroster * Independent Semi - Trailing Arm Rear Suspension * Illuminated Entry System * Bodyside Moldings * 8 - Way Adjustable Sport Seats * Leather Wrapped Sport Steering Wheel And MSRP brand new in 1985 was $17,199.00.

NYC Taxi of Tomorrow ruled legal by appeals court
Wed, 11 Jun 2014The streets of New York City might be filling up with a lot more Nissans in the next few years. A New York appeals court ruled that the city's mandate to replace old taxis with a fleet entirely made up of the Nissan NV200 Taxi of Tomorrow was legal. The decision overturned a previous ruling that decided The Big Apple couldn't force cabbies to all purchase the same vehicle.
Justice David B. Saxe wrote the court's opinion saying the Taxi of Tomorrow is a "legally appropriate response to the agency's statutory obligation to produce a 21st-century taxicab consistent with the broad interests and perspectives that the agency is charged with protecting," according to Bloomberg. The Greater New York Taxi Association, the plaintiff in the case, could still possibly attempt a second appeal.
Nissan originally won the 10-year contract estimated to be worth about $1 billion in 2011, beating out Ford and a Turkish company. Under the Taxi of Tomorrow plan, all New York cabbies would have to switch to the NV200 within three of five years of the van going into service, and it would replace the 16 vehicles previously authorized as taxis. In 2013, the mandate received multiple challenges though, including an attempted ban by cab drivers because the replacement wasn't a hybrid. In a separate case, state Supreme Court judge Schlomo Hagler decided that there was nothing in the city charter that forced a taxi driver to choose a specific vehicle. This was the case that was just overturned. In the meantime, the automaker has been selling the NV200 to New York cabbies at prices around $29,700.
Nissan adds 2013 Titan to gearshift recall
Sat, 30 Mar 2013Nissan has added the 2013 Titan to the list of vehicles recalled over potential gearshift issues. Just a few days ago, the automaker recalled nearly 20,000 NV Vans for a problem with the shift lever assembly that could cause the gear selector to read inaccurately. Now Nissan is recalling certain 2013 Titan pickup trucks manufactured between December 17, 2012 and February 20, 2013 and equipped with column-mounted shift levers, though for a different fault. The pickups were built using certain chemicals that could cause the brake-shift interlock mechanism to fail over time. If that happens, the truck could be shifted out of Park without the driver's foot on the brake.
As a result, the truck could roll away and cause an accident or injury. Nissan says it will remedy the fault free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 8. You can read the full National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice below for more information.
Nissan to enter Formula E in 2018-19 season
Wed, Oct 25 2017Nissan is to become the first Japanese car manufacturer competing in Formula E with an entry in the fifth season of the electric car racing series, organizers announced on Wednesday. Formula E said in a statement that Nissan would replace one of the existing manufacturers in the 2018-19 season. Media reports have indicated that will be alliance partners Renault, allowing the French manufacturer to focus on its Formula One team. "To have a name like Nissan coming on board is a momentous day for the series," said Formula E chief executive Alejandro Agag in a statement. "It's great to see our first Japanese manufacturer entering the frame, showing truly how global the electric revolution is. Japan is a country at the forefront of new technologies with one of the biggest followings of Formula E." Manufacturers already involved in the electric series include BMW, Audi, Renault, Jaguar, Citroen and India's Mahindra. Mercedes and Porsche are due to arrive for season six, which is scheduled to start in 2019 and end in 2020. Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
