**** Stillen Supercharged 04 350z****** on 2040-cars
Hercules, California, United States
|
Here is your opportunity to own one of the hottest Z-Cars on the road! This 2004 Nissan 350Z Roadster got shipped from new mexico. Previous "First" owner had STILLEN (Steve Millen Motorsports in Costa Mesa, California) tune the car and add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger to Nissan's acclaimed VQ-series alloy V-6. Total investment: over $63,000.
With only a little over 48,000 miles on it, it runs as smoothly as the day it left STILLEN's tuning shop, and would make an excellent daily driver. Unlike many performance cars, it is not the least bit delicate or finicky... it wants to be driven! To this day, this superb automobile elicits approving comments wherever it goes, and has been featured in photo shoots as well as seen in a motion picture The car started life as a stock '04 Nissan 350Z Roadster, with automatic transmission and the "Touring" package (with optional "Z" logo floor and trunk carpet mats). It included the black fabric power top, heated seats, CD/Cassette/Radio BOSE sound system with subwoofer, and leather-trimmed interior with orange stitching on the seats, which compliments the factory "Le Mans Sunset" metallic paint. It also has HID headlamps, and LED taillights. To this the master mechanics of STILLEN - Steve Millen Motorsports of Costa Mesa, California - add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger. BTW, Steve Millen was Nissan's factory race car driver for many years, so he and his team know the Z-Car quite well. His mechanics also added their proprietary intake with K&N rechargeable air filter, performance pulleys, additional ground wires on the engine, an intercooler for the supercharger, extended oil pan with large sump (to minimize cavitation during hard cornering), lower-temperature engine thermostat for better performance in warmer climates, their own stainless steel exhaust system (which, under acceleration, produces a tone reminiscent of a Formula One racer), adjustable anti-sway bars front and rear, upgraded transmission (in order to better deal with the increased horsepower and torque), ground effects body kit (painted in the factory "Le Mans Sunset" color), a real carbon fiber hood to accommodate the supercharger, and a rear-deck spoiler. The car has been run on full-synthetic Mobil-1 oil since purchased. Also added, at a later date, were 19" SSR Semi-Solid Forged Racing light alloy wheels (wider in the rear), and Racing Brake 4-pot disc brake calipers front and rear, with two-piece rotors all around (drilled and slotted in the front; slotted only in the rear). The interior had real aluminum trim added to the factory trim pieces.The car is currently equipped with General all-season performance tires (they offer fine wet-weather traction) that have slightly over 4,000 miles on them. Also driver side rear wheel has been replaced with the brand new matching wheel (see picture) Being nine years old, there are some very minor paint chips and scratches, but, as you can see from the photos, nothing at all which detracts from the car's general appearance. The interior leather trim is also in very good shape, as well. So, how does this car perform? One word: AMAZING. Just depress the accelerator, and feel the supercharger surge! Unlike a turbocharger, the supercharger kicks-in from the get go, providing it's power boost from idle through redline. And the handling? If this car doesn't make you smile through the twisties, nothing will! It sticks like glue. This Z makes you want to seek-out mountain roads. |

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Nissan NV200 Chicago Taxi looking for a #HailYes
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Nissan may be loaning out its small van to General Motors for its Chicago Auto Show debut, but that doesn't mean that Chevrolet is the only one with new NV200-based wares to share. On the heels of launching its Taxi Of Tomorrow for New York City, the Japanese automaker is giving America's Second City a livery of its own.
Shown here in a green and white paint scheme that "expresses a modern take on a historically popular Chicago taxi color," this NV200 Chicago Taxi is the company's less-than-subtle bid to capture some of the city's cab business, which is estimated to have about 7,000 units in service. Nissan is urging the public to generate discussion on social media and hopefully capture local taxi fleet operators' attention with a #HailYes campaign.
Beyond its unique appearance, this NV200 appears untouched, which means it's still powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine backed by a version of Nissan's ubiquitous XTronic continuously variable transmission.
2015 Nissan Pulsar and Pulsar Nismo Concept show Jekyll and Hyde for the hatch
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Nissan is showing two very different sides of its new Pulsar five-door hatchback (on the right) at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. On one hand you get to see the standard version hoping to take the fight to popular European models like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, but also on the stage is our first glimpse at the Pulsar Nismo Concept (above) that demonstrates the vehicle's more devilish side.
The standard Pulsar is hoping to make a dent in the Euro C-segment ranks. It rides on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai crossover and is actually about 2.4-inches longer than the Golf. Power comes from a trio of choices. There are 1.2-liter and 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engines with 113 horsepower and 187 hp, respectively, and a 1.5-liter diesel with 108 hp. CVTs are offered with them all. The Pulsar is also available with a variety of safety tech, including forward emergency braking, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.
However, the real excitement comes from the new Nismo Concept. Nissan is clear that it's "only a design study at this stage," but the sporty hatch imagines a flagship for the Pulsar range. It gets the full suite of Nismo goodies with a suspension dropped to the floor and sharper steering. The exterior also benefits from big air intakes in the front bumper, a rear diffuser with central exhausts, flared fenders and carbon fiber trim pieces. The whole thing is finished in satin gray with the division's traditional red trim. The interior has the same motif with race seats and a three-spoke steering wheel.
