I bought this car with great intentions, but I have a 73 240Z that is quite frankly in better shape. This car has rust, but it has potential for someone that has more bodywork skills than I do. Pictures of any angle or location of the car that you need will be taken upon request. The reason that this car is in bad shape, is that the person that I bought this from left it sitting outside for a year and did absolutely nothing with it, but disassemble parts and leaves them laying...this is really the reason that I bought it is because it is basically the best and last ZX made, and I was going to make it right. If no one wants the complete car...then I will start parting it out, I really want someone who is interested in this complete car first since this car has great potential being all original. I also have a MSA downpipe that I just bought today because they were on sale that will go with this car. My zip is 31804, about 1 1/2 hours southwest of Atlanta, next to Ft Benning, GA. This car had not title when I bought it, you will get a bill of sale, GA law does not require a title for cars older than 1985...check your state.
**UPDATE** Replaced ECU today and the engine fired up and died a few seconds later...vacuum hoses are rotten and I will be getting to them shortly, but it should run once those are fixed. Everyday I do something to improve this vehicle, I am working on putting the interior back together between school, work and kids...I will keep updates on here as I get them. Good Luck

ECU is bad

Due to the numerous questions about the same thing, this car does have rust, it does not run, but everyday I am repairing it as I can. I know what the car is worth just from the parts that are on it and this is a fair price, but to reaffirm this car does need body work, but what can you expect, the previous owner left it outside for over a year. I have a friend in Atlanta that is going to let me borrow an ECU to see if I can get the engine running, which I believe it will. I just want to give someone the opportunity to get a complete car before I part it out. Consider this a project car, I am just being honest.

I adjusted price to reflect the cost of an ECU.

Daimler and Nissan to build luxury cars at new plant in Mexico
Thu, 05 Sep 2013A few years back, when Daimler was looking for a partner to spread the cost of development of small cars, it agreed to collaborate with Nissan on future products, such as vehicle platforms and drivetrains. The latest development in the collaboration concerns the assembly of small luxury cars for Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz at a Nissan plant in Mexico, two unnamed sources told Reuters.
The plant in question, Aguascalientes, is a $2 billion project that will open later this year next to an existing Nissan factory. The upcoming Infiniti Q30 four-door hatchback is expected to be built there, possibly alongside the Mercedes GLA-Class, which is one of several candidates Mercedes is considering to build at this facility, Reuters reports. The GLA will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month, and initial production of the model will take place in Germany. The Q30 could follow a similar path, with assembly starting at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the UK, and then expanding to Aguascalientes later on.
The underlying platform of the Q30 and GLA, codenamed New Generation Compact Car (NGCC), was developed by Daimler. The Q30 would be the first Infiniti produced under the automakers' agreement. Last year, Nissan agreed to make engines that would find their way into Mercedes and Infiniti vehicles.
Meet Sparky, Nissan's Leaf-based, Frontier-bedded EV parts hauler [w/video]
Thu, 18 Sep 2014For many enthusiasts, the concept of the ute - a car with a pickup bed - is somehow irresistibly appealing. On paper, it promises the marriage of a truck's utility and a car's superior driving dynamics, and for that reason alone, we'd love to see more of them. Yet while other parts of the world get them in good numbers, North America doesn't ever see them - at least not for long. Based on what we've seen of late, though, that's not due to a lack of motivation on the part of engineers.
BMW wowed us several years ago with an M3 ute, and earlier this year, some interns converted a Mini Paceman into the pickup-bodied Paceman Adventure. Loathe to let their rivals in Munich and Oxford have all the fun, Nissan has built its very own car-based pickup. Meet Sparky, the world's first Leaf Frontier.
Like the M3, this all-electric ute is used as a parts hauler for Nissan's engineering teams at its sprawling Stanfield, AZ tech center and proving grounds.
Nissan previews new Sport Sedan Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When the Cobo Center opens its doors in a couple of weeks for the Detroit Auto Show, there'll be plenty of new metal on display - and this is the latest.
Nissan announced today that it will bring a new Sport Sedan Concept to the Detroit show, releasing the short statement below accompanied by the teaser image above. Expected to hint at the next Maxima, the concept "previews a new energetic design direction that amplifies Nissan's legendary approach of applying sports car principles to a sedan."
That's about all Nissan is saying for now, so we'll have to wait a while longer to find out more. But the concept will be joined on the show floor by the IDx Freeflow and IDx Nismo concepts that'll be showcased for the first time in North American after their debut at the Tokyo Motor Show over a month ago.
