Up for sale is my beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 automatic. This is a wonderful car that is a blast to drive and gets looks everywhere I go. I hate to sell it but a new pair of twins in my life means that priorities have to change.

A brief history of the car: The car was purchased from the original owner in 1998 from my Wife’s uncle. He passed it down to my brother in-law in 2005. Unfortunately my wife’s uncle did not take very good care of the car’s engine which forced my brother in-law to correct a few issues. He decided to replace the engine with a JDM spec motor in an attempt to have two engines to work with if needed. At the same time the car would be gone through and anything that needed attention would be addressed. My brother in-law owned a custom car shop at the time and all of the work was performed professionally in his shop. At the time of the engine swap the car had just over 90K miles. In the summer of 2006 the engine was replaced with an engine pulled from the front clip of a similar year JDM Fairlady Z. The JDM motor had approximately 50-60K miles on it. During the swap the new engine received a complete major tune-up along with several major service items. Below is a list of all items and services performed during the engine swap:

50-60K miles JDM NA engine swap
Timing belt replacement
Cam shaft oil seal replacement
new water pump
new power steering pump and pressure hose
PVC valve
new platinum spark plugs
new plug wires
6 new fuel injectors
new motor mounts
new exhaust header installed

After the engine swap the plan for the car was to turn the car into a period correct 90s custom. The following parts were also installed on the car:

Set of staggered width IMPUL RS 16” wheels with new tires
Full Tokico HP Blue Shock/Strut replacement
Eibach Pro Kit suspension springs
Complete Energy Suspension bushing set
Greddy SP2 stainless cat back exhaust system
Custom intake kit
OBX stainless steel headers
Drilled and Slotted rotors with carbon ceramic performance brake pads

In addition to the performance parts several other items have also been addressed:

New weather strip around windows
new floor mats
New CD/MP3 player with 4 new speakers
recharged A/C system (blows ice cold)

As of 10/2013 the car now also has a completely rebuilt transmission. The tranny was the last item on the powertrain that needed addressed when my brother in-law had the car and it went out last month. I had a transmission specialist completely rebuild the tranny (new clutch pack, gears, everything) to the tune of $2500. The car now runs, sounds, and drives amazing.

With all of the powertrain and chassis items sorted out the only thing left is the body which unfortunately I cannot afford to update right now. The body is in really good condition as is but a paint job would make the car absolutely perfect. There a few small dings here and there and the front bumper has a few scuffs. The paint is original and shows pretty good for a 20+ year old car. As you can see from the pictures the car looks great and can certainly be driven as is. The interior is also in great shape. Everything except for the radio is original and again shows really well for the age. All gauges, A/C, lights, power windows, and locks work as they should.

I tried to cover everything I can think of about the car. My family has babied this car over the years and it shows. All it needs now is a new owner to enjoy this awesome sports car.

Mercedes to build CLA at Nissan plant in Mexico [w/poll]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Volkswagen may have paved the way for American customers to get used to the idea of German cars produced in Mexico, but it won't be the only one for long. BMW is said to be considering production of the 1 Series, 3 Series and Mini south of the border, Audi is working on its own factory in San Jose Chiapa, and now Mercedes-Benz is reported to be following suit as well. Only instead of building its own plant, Daimler is tipped to use a Nissan factory in Aguascalientes.
According to a report in Manager Magazin recently cited by Automotive News Europe, that's where Mercedes is considering building the GLA, CLA and another A-Class sedan. Just what the point would be of another sedan based on the A-Class in addition to the CLA, we're not sure, but if Benz can produce the larger CLS in addition to the E-Class and S-Class sedans, we suppose there'd be room for an A-Class sedan alongside the CLA as well.
We're still waiting on confirmation and comment from Mercedes on the prospect, but one way or another, the increase in Mexican production of German automobiles seems to be a foregone conclusion.

2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Michigan is one of those places where we can sub-divide the seasons into good and bad portions, with each producing a noticeable shift. The week prior to my time in the 2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo, it was 65 to 70 degrees and sunny, all week long. Anyone care to guess what the following week was like?
Windy, cold and damp weather typified my week in the Z, with temps hovering around 55 degrees and several days of showers. Yes, I got the first week of the bad part of fall. The Z was hardly happy during its time with me, but we both persevered, and I made a point of sprinting out to the garage anytime the ground seemed remotely dry enough to test this striking two-seater. That enthusiasm waned quickly, though, as the week wore on.
By all accounts, the Z is a car that I should like. It's an uncompromising sports car, but as I discovered during my travels, sometimes a little compromise is welcome, and living with a car like the Z - particularly the angrier, Nismo-tuned model - quickly becomes a case of too much of a good thing.

Man sells testicle to buy Nissan 370Z

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

We aren't entirely sure what's stranger about this story - that a man actually sold a vital piece of his manhood for a car, or that he did it for a Nissan 370Z. That's not to discredit the trusty Fairlady, a car we generally like, but that if we were to do what Mark Parisi did and sell one of his testicles to science, we'd be asking for a helluva lot more than $35,000.
But Parisi did just that, and announced live on CBS' The Doctors (we really can't make this up) that the sale of his nut would go towards the purchase of a Z. According to our friends Down Under (Australia, get your mind out of the gutter), $35K is the going rate for one slightly used testicle, so if you get nothing else from this story, gentlemen, know that you have $70,000 swinging between your legs.
