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 lojackŪ 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 - HomelinkŪ 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.

2013 Nissan Pathfinder: April 2013

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Not Just For Families
Since our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder joined the Autoblog Garage in late December of last year, the only time I've really spent with it has been during the short periods of time between my co-workers' longer loans. Until now, my experiences with our Mocha Stone tester have been limited to pick-ups and drop-offs at various locations around the greater Michigan/Ohio area, not to mention keeping the vehicle clean inside and out, as well as handling our first bit of scheduled maintenance in late March.
I was pleased, then, to actually be able to spend most of the month of April with our Pathfinder, finally giving me a chance to see what everyone else does and does not like about Nissan's new crossover. But here's the thing: I'm admittedly not the ideal person to test a family-minded vehicle. I'm single and in my late twenties, so something like our other long-term car, the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, is better suited to meet my everyday needs.

Nissan Pathfinder, Infiniti JX in transmission safety probe

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Nissan may be forced to recall 110,000 Pathfinder and Infiniti JX35 crossovers, due to a number of customer complaints. Consumers report suddenly losing power, with repair facilities blaming the issue on faulty transmission cooler line connections. Both the Pathfinder and JX35 use a continuously variable transmission. As of right now, the only vehicles being investigated are from model year 2013.
Nissan has been cooperating with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, according to a report from Reuters, and it has developed a fix for the affected vehicles. It's not clear whether this will develop into a full-blown recall, as there have been no known cases of injuries or crashes. But with a potential 110,000 vehicles prone to sudden power loss, a recall seems to be a likely outcome.

Nissan wants an American driver for its Le Mans team

Sat, 20 Sep 2014



"We'll use every driver development tool we have to take them to the next level, but they will also have to step up." - Darren Cox
Nissan is aiming to put an American behind the wheel of one of its LMP1 racecars in 2016 as part of plans to grow its motorsports program in the United States.
