2003 Nissan 350Z (Performance Edition)
71,3xx miles
Silverstone grey/black cloth
  • Wheels are paint matched Silverstone grey (can't upload more than 24 pictures so only showing the 1 wheel that has a tiny bit of road rash, the rest are in perfect condition)
  • Front Tires: TOYO Proxes4 (245/40 R18), will need new front tires fairly soon
  • Rear Tires: Federal Super Steel 595 (245/45 R18), rears have less than 500 miles on them   
  • Power windows, locks, rear hatch, door side mirrors, etc.
  • OEM security system with panic alarm
  • Remote keyless entry (works for rear hatch as well). I have the original keys/remotes: 2 remotes, 2 normal keys and 1 valet key. Also has lojack® hidden in the car (I never used it personally), you can read more and download the user manual at lojack dot com, I have 2 lojack key fob sensors for the system.
  • I have all the original manuals that came with the car plus the full mechanics service manual on CD
  • The A/C blows super cold and works great
  • Automatic temperature control for heater and A/C (can be turned off and controlled manually)
  • Tilt steering wheel
  • Auto-dimming rear-view mirror with garage door transmitter for 2 garage doors - Homelink® system
  • Rear window defroster, rear window wiper (with intermittent) and rear spray-wash switch
  • Gauges: battery voltmeter, engine oil pressure, tachometer with programmable rev warning light, engine coolant temp, fuel
  • Trip computer cycles through: outside air temp, speed indicator, distance to empty (fuel), average fuel consumption, average speed, elapsed time, trip odometer, stopwatch, tire pressure indicator, up-shift indicator setting (2000-8000 rpm)
  • Cruise Control
  • HID headlights
  • VDC - Vehicle Dynamic Control with on/off button
  • ABS Brakes
  • Dual exhaust
  • Pioneer DVD Player, I installed a red switch to allow for DVD playing while driving, the console cover closes over it and you don't see the switch anymore also has upgraded speakers (I don't remember the brand - I think Alpine, they were already installed in the car when I bought it.
  • Newer battery - 09/2011, I have a quick disconnect switch on the battery that I use to keep the battery level up and for added theft protection as I only drive the car on special occasions.
  • I had Nissan do the 60,000 mile tune up after I purchased the car and everything checked out except rear brakes, they were replaced and fixed at that time. There was also a recall on a fuel hose that was replaced then too. I have records of everything I did while I have owned it.
  • New "Y" section of exhaust was replaced last July because it was damaged over a speed-bump, again, I have a receipt for that.
  • I have an extra set of OEM Track edition rims, the ones designed by Ray Engineering that will go with the car too. They aren't in perfect condition, has some minor road rash but they are all straight, still useful for winter or whatever. No tires are mounted on them.
  • I have some odds and ends stuff that will go with the car too. OEM front chin aero deflector still in the package, Nissan wheel locks still in the package, a few random clips, stopper kits for both driver and passenger side windows still in the package. The earlier 350z's had problems with smudge marks going up on the glass, these kits stop that from happening, I just never got around to installing them. I also have some touch up paint around here if I can still find it. I also think I have a few extra light bulbs for interior, etc. etc.
  • I just had the emissions tested last week for new tabs. It passed with flying colors, they are sending me the new tabs in the mail. So if you live in Washington that's a bonus for you as you will have till September 2015 till they are due up again. Also every 7 years WA state requires new license plates be issued, so if you buy this car don't panic when you see that the plates are different. I didn't want to pay an extra 20 bucks to keep those digits. Those new license plates are coming in the mail with the new tabs.
  • There are no holes or bracket for a front license plate, however, there are factory dimple areas where one would mount that bracket to install the license plate.
  • The day I took the photos it had been raining earlier so some of these pictures will show water, that's all it is, just rain, just wanted to clarify that.

Why does this car have a rebuilt title?
       This car was in an accident back in January 2007 in which the insurance company totaled out the car. A friend of the person who owned the car bought it from the insurance company, fixed it, had Washington State Patrol inspect it (see photo) and issue the rebuilt title. He then drove it until October of 2008 when I purchased it. I have owned it ever since. The accident was fairly cut and dry, long story short, in the snow/ice the driver was going around clover style freeway on-ramp with the VDC turned off, he gassed it into a slide of which it did a 180 and headed backwards into a chain-link fence. The car went under the chain-link fence and was scratched like a 1000 cat claw marks from the back forward. The damage was all cosmetic (I personally would never have bought the car if the damage had been mechanical in any way). So a door needed to be replaced and the car needed to be repainted. It was repainted the same stock Silverstone grey, the rims were also done at the same time. I have all the pictures to prove the damage was only cosmetic. I wanted them when I bought the car. I would have posted them but Ebay only lets you post 24 pictures. If you are interested in seeing photos of the damage I can forward them to you. Also if you want to have verification of the story above, check the AutoCheck section of this auction and you will see it was in a collision with a fence on January 7th, 2007. Case #2680321

Why am I selling the car?
       I am selling it because I don't have garage space to keep it anymore and I have too many vehicles. I originally purchased it to drive to Portland and back 2-3 times a month. I did that for a few solid years. I wanted something fun to drive for that commute. So most of the miles I have put on it while I have owned it are freeway miles. This car deserves to be driven and I just don't drive it much anymore.

Is there anything wrong with the car?
       The car drives great, all gauges, lights, electronics, cruise control, etc. work flawlessly. Mechanically its in excellent shape too. I have never had a problem with it. It starts up and goes. There are no dents on the exterior panels and the interior is in excellent shape. The driver seat has some normal wear (see photo), there is a cigarette burn up top in the headliner near the driver window (from a previous owner). Some of the repainting is chipping in smaller and in hidden areas (see photos - there are a few more areas I don't have pictures for but all areas are pretty small), when it chips off it chips down to the same color so its not very noticeable. The repainting is very good overall but on the roof seals and windshield seals there is some slight over-spray on the rubber seals, like 1mm running down them. You can't really see it unless your looking for it, from 1-2 feet back its not noticeable. There are some birdshit stains on the top of the roof area (see photo), those should come out with some rubbing compound. The headlights are a bit hazy from age. The rear hatch needs a new hydraulic, it stays open on flat ground but on an incline it sometimes shuts by itself. The hatch button only works part of the time, however the keyless entry hatch opener button works all the time, I always use that to open the back hatch. This car is 11 years old so its not perfect like it just came off the showroom floor, but its very clean and in great shape. If I had a 5 car garage I would keep it without a doubt. To my knowledge none of the previous owners modded this car, with the low miles there is plenty of life left for someone to drive as a daily driver or modify into what they want to create with it. This car is very dependable and a blast to drive. Hoping it goes to someone that really enjoys it as its been a great car for me.

Nissan Sport Sedan Concept foretells a future Maxima

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Nissan is in the midst of overhauling its design language. We got our first glimpse at the direction its style was going a year ago with the Resonance crossover concept, which was followed in Shanghai by the connected-car Friend-Me hatchback concept. And now, after dropping a few hints, Nissan has revealed the third in this developing series.
Unveiled at today's Detroit Auto Show, the new Sport Sedan Concept applies many of the same design elements we've seen on Nissan's previous show cars to a more conventional four-door shape. But far from a design exercise, the decidedly uncreatively named Sport Sedan Concept previews "a future production sports sedan," which has every indication of being the next Maxima.
Its dimensions reveal the concept to be bigger than the current Maxima in every direction but height, with that visual impression further entrenched by a floating roof design that combines with a high waistline to give a coupe-like profile. There are also sharp creases in the bodywork that visually break up the space between the rear set of 21-inch alloys and the tapered greenhouse. The shape is further punctuated by the V-shaped grille and distinctly Nissan boomerang-shaped lights that lend a face to this distinctly Japanese design that was penned in California and honed back in Japan. The sharp and simple cabin is characterized by a high-contrast palette with quilted leather and metallic trim.

Watch this 800-hp Nissan Juke-R savage the 'Ring

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

The concept of the 545-horsepower Nissan Juke-R that stuffs the drivetrain of a GT-R into a subcompact crossover is already insane, but Russian company Shpilli Villi Engineering has taken things even further with their own crazy riff on the idea. Its version tunes the engine up to a claimed 800 horsepower, plus a shot of nitrous for an extra 200 hp to put it (way) over the top. Naturally, a number of other upgrades have been exacted in an effort to try and keep the custom Juke's shiny side up and the driveline internals from spontaneously rearranging themselves. Those changes include a beefed-up switchable all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive layout and revised suspension.
Last year, you may recall that we saw an earlier version of Shpilli Villi Engineering's insanity testing with a mere 700 hp in a one-mile, standing drag race against a Bugatti Veyron. In that state of tune, the Juke-R lost, but by less than a hundredth of a second. Now, owner and racer Vladimir Ulanov has brought his madness to the Nürburgring Nordschleife to see how it does around a damp lap of the famous track.
It looks like 800 hp and a moist track might be almost too much for this Juke to handle, because Ulanov gets very loose at several points during the lap. Understandably, his passenger seems suitably impressed and possibly a little freaked out at the end. See what you think of this craziness by watching the video.
