NEW INFO:

The car has been "SMOGGED" (California buyers) and I have all the necessary paperwork.  Additionally, I recently had the Z dyno tuned at Driven Authority (Dyno chart is available).  It was upgraded to a Nis-Tune program (used to be Jim Wolf program), and conservatively tuned.  
   

I have owned this amazing car for over 15 years.  In fact, part of my personal identity is attached to this Z, and I will be greatly saddened when it is no longer nestled snuggly in my garage.  However, life is unpredictable, and for personal reasons, I am posting it for sale.  A rough estimate on money spent boggles the mind...somewhere between $50K -$60K (all in over 15+ years).  Make no mistake, this is one of the cleanest, most tastefully modded Twin Turbo's you will ever see.  The car is scary fast and should not be purchased by a novice driver.  It handles incredibly and will rip your face off under braking.  I drive the car appx. 500 miles per year (if that), approximately 5K miles put on the new motor since it was fully built and installed.  When I do drive it, it performs flawlessly, and the perspective buyer should have peace of mind that it will do the same for them (assuming they don't abuse/neglect it).  I have provided a comprehensive list of modifications and I will be available to answer any/all questions.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to view the Z, or you have additional questions or concerns, I can be reached via cell @(916)934-9222.  Best Regards, -Josh

Nissan's Le Mans-bound ZEOD RC electric racecar nearing completion [w/video]

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Nissan is working away on its ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car) which is still on pace for a Le Mans arrival in 2014. As of right now, the DeltaWing-shaped car's carbon-fiber tub and chassis have been completed. The next step will be installing the twin electric motors and fitting the seat of driver and GT Academy winner Lucas Ordóñez. If the current schedule sticks, the zero-emissions racer will hit a UK track for test laps in September.
But while those initial shakedown laps will be under full electric power, it's unclear whether the setup fielded in the UK will survive until Le Mans. Nissan itself says that it will be testing a number of "electrified" drivetrains ahead of the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is a significant departure from race car design - usually, the teams know what's powering their car before they start building it.
"Just developing a single powertrain option in only 12 months would be a mammoth task but we're looking to carefully examine a number of options to ascertain which will be best suited for Le Mans," said Darren Cox, Nissan's global motorsport director. Take a look below for a video and press release from Nissan documenting the ZEOD RC's build process.

Nissan confirms what's in the box

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

While there were few doubts about what could've been hiding under the giant cardboard box being transported on a flatbed truck earlier this month, Nissan has officially confirmed that it was, in fact, a Versa Note being delivered from Amazon.
As a part of the special promotion, online shoppers who bought a Versa Note using the retailing giant also received a $1,000 Amazon gift card. Scroll down to watch how the car was packaged and shipped as well as what the buyer did with all that cardboard.

Runway Rumble: Nissan GT-R, Ducati 1098 and Lamborghini Reventon Roadster battle it out

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

One 2.5-mile runway, three different ways to take off: a Ducati 1098, a tuned Nissan GT-R with 580 horsepower and a launch control upgrade, and a Lamborghini Reventon Roadster. You'd naturally expect the Ducati to assert it's lightweight, high-horsepower authority in these matters, but with more than two miles to run, the ride that gets the jump at the line isn't always the one that gets the win.
That comes in especially handy for the Lamborghini, which suffers from a bad start in the first race and just looks plain ordinary in the second, until it finds redemption. You can see how it all goes down in the video below.
