     (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 275/35 ZR 19 tires and (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 245/35 ZR 19 tires.

The car has some normal wear and tear, considering it is 11 years old. There are a few scratches on the exterior, a small dent on the passenger side (see picture), and a dent on one of the rims (Wheels Of America will fix for $150). Everything is cosmetic and can be fixed quickly.  

I bought this from the second owner, who lives in Pennsylvania.  Despite the dent in the rim, the car had no problem with the 700 mile drive home.  The tires maintained air pressure and the ride was smooth.  I purchased this car because I was looking for a fast, fun car to drive on the weekends.  This car appealed to me because of all the extras it had. It is packed with tons of horse power and the stereo system is awesome!  It is a total thrill to drive!  Even though I have a family and kids, I thought it would work.  Well, it didn't.  I found myself watching it sit in the garage or sneaking out for a very quick ride. (not that I minded, but the family wasn't too thrilled)

I recently put a new ACT Extreme street clutch in the car because I didn't like the feel of the old one. I chose the ACT because it was built for horse power and yet offered a smooth stock feel. It's a great clutch and offers great street ability. 

The 350Z's are known to have problems with the window regulators, so I replaced both window regulators in the Fall 2013. 

The rims each are $2,000 (new) SSR GT3 special edition first run rims that are ALL CHROME. The rims could be refinished to make them look new again and the dent in the driver's front could be fixed. I took the rims to Wheels of America and was told it would cost about $150 per tire to refinish and fix the dent.  I thought that was extremely reasonable considering the cost of new rims.  

The interior is in great condition. No tears, rips or stains. The car has grey seats and black carpet. Very clean too!

The car is mechanically sound and everything works. She runs great! Has tons of muscle. Handles great! I hate to sell her but I have to stick with a 4-seater. Anyone looking for speed and power need look no further.  This car has it all!  

The engines in these cars were designed to run more than 200,000 miles. The problem that people run into with boosted Z's is that they over boost the motor.  The weakness of the motor is due to the connecting rods and the pistons (high compression). This in combo with high boosts, causes the motor to fail. To truly turn this car into a 500 horsepower monster, one would only have to change out the connecting rods and the pistons, thus lowering the compression of the motor.  Then one could safely boost into the teens. Everything else has already been done.  The boost on this low-mileage motor has been set at only 6 PSI to ensure long motor durability.  

The reserve for this car is extremely low because it has to go because I've already purchased that god-awful 4-seater!

If you live in the area, feel free to come by and inspect it before the auction ends.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

Watch this Nissan GT-R Nismo attack the 'Ring

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Following yesterday's spy photos of the Nissan GT-R Nismo at the Nürburgring, we've been informed that some intrepid spies have captured video of Super Godzilla lapping the track. We aren't sure which turn the first clip is showing, but the second and third are almost certainly the tough right-hander known as Bergwerk.
Like the current GT-R, the Nismo, even with what might be a new exhaust system, isn't a vehicle that sounds particularly good in a flyby. It's more of just an intense whooshing noise. Take a look at the full video from RSR Nürburgring down below.

Nissan adds 500 jobs in Mississippi for Murano production [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Nissan is bolstering its workforce at its Canton, MS factory, adding 500 workers for this fall's production kickoff of the heavily redesigned Murano crossover.
"The addition of Murano to our portfolio, coupled with the continued growth and success of the Canton plant, will move us even closer to our goal to build more than 85 percent of the vehicles we sell in the US right here in North America," said senior vice president of manufacturing, supply chain management and purchasing for Nissan's North American ops, John Martin.
The Murano will eventually be exported to over 100 markets and will be built alongside the current Xterra, Frontier, Titan and Armada. The addition of 500 jobs to the Canton facility elevates its total workforce past 6,000 people.
