300zx Twin Turbo; 27k Miles / 2 Owner Car; 5 Speed; T-tops - Like New Condition on 2040-cars
Ozone Park, New York, United States
|
I
bought this one owner car (I am the second owner) with 18k miles
three years ago. Needless to say the car is in exceptional condition
for its age - the interior looks and smells new, all electronics work
including ABS, AC, adjustable suspension and 4 wheel steering. The body
is straight and the red paint is original and shiny.
Given the car's age, my previous experience with a low mileage non-turbo Z, and my intention to use it as a reliable weekend driver, I went ahead and completed all scheduled and preventive maintenance: - 30k mile service which included timing belt replacement (this is very important on Z's since broken belts lead to the loss of an engine) and new cam cover gaskets -~$2.5k job - New Brembo rotors (front) and Hawk pads (front and back) - ~$0.5k - New fuel lines, fuel filter and fuel dampener (due to heat soak and old age fuel lines have been know to crack in Zs) - New battery - New brake master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder (replaced due to the risk of rubber o-rings in the cylinders failing from old age) - New Eagle F1 tires - $1.2k (less than 300 miles on these) - Upgraded tension rods with Energy Suspension bushings - Fluids (transmission oil, brake and and coolant fluids) While the 300zx was a car ahead of its time when new, I decided to make a couple of upgrades to address a few weak spots and take advantage of the technological progress since the 90's. All upgrades were made using high quality branded parts. Performance: - Dual cone intake with Selin electronic translator (allows the ECU to properly read two MAF input signals) - $0.5k - Stillen charge pipes - Upsized aluminum Z1 intercoolers - $0.5k - New 740cc Nismo injectors - (injectors were ~$1k; this is an upgrade vs. 370cc stock injectors; replacement is highly recommended since the original injectors were not designed for modern ethanol-blended fuels and fail over time) - 2.5in B&B polished stainless steel quad exhaust - $1.2k - 17in Senca wheels (in my view these work better vs. 18in since there is no need to lower the car and ruin the ride quality); The wheels have the perfect offset for the Z (no spacers needed) and were made in Japan by Kosei - $1.2k - Upgraded ECU - Stillen anti-sway bars (front and back) - improves handling - $0.4k Convenience / Appearance - Upgraded stereo system with new head unit equipped with iPod and Bluetooth (Cell Phone) connectivity; Speakers were upgraded at the same time, but BOSE enclosures were retained, preserving the nice bass balance. - OEM Japanese-market taillights - OEM Japanese-market nose panel with the Z logo The car was never raced or abused. I used it mostly for weekend getaways. It is fast, but manageable and handles nicely - tight and controllable. I have the owners manual, three keys (including the titanium key), a copy of the old title as well as receipts from oil changes showing mileage. In addition, I have receipts for maintenance work / upgrades. I also have a CarFax report showing the history prior to my ownership.

Nissan gives a better look at its Vision Gran Turismo concept
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Just the other day, Nissan released an image showing all of its cars you can drive in Gran Turismo, with one little mystery hiding in the bottom right corner: a draped shape with the date June 10, 2014 - suggesting that it would reveal its Vision Gran Turismo on that date. Well, if you look at that calendar you'll realize that June 10 came and went yesterday, and Nissan didn't reveal the car.
As it turns out, what the folks at Nissan meant when they indicated June 10 was that they'd release the next teaser on that date, and that's what we have here. The teaser hints at one menacing-looking futuristic chunk of virtual performance meta, but "the next chapter" won't be revealed until next week on Monday, June 16. At that point we hope Nissan will actually reveal the full thing and not another teaser, but one way or another the finished product is expected to be present in the flesh (or sheet metal) for the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the end of the month.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Dongfeng-Nissan surprises with Viwa Concept EV for Venucia
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Nissan has a joint venture in China with Dongfeng to make passenger vehicles, and last year the two companies created a sub-brand called Venucia that aims to roll out five cars by 2015. With the gasoline-engined D50 and R50 and a pilot program for the E30 electric car already out, this little orange beast, the Viwa EV concept, could point the way to a future offering.
Looking like a Chevrolet Spark that spent the weekend raving in Ibiza, the Venucia Viwa EV aims to be reliable, practical, efficient and accessible all in one package. Beyond the practical bit, defined as, "packaged with a compact body for easy driving," Venucia hasn't said how any of those other qualities are achieved. In fact, it hasn't even divulged the specifics of the electric powerplant. However, it does say that it will be developing more EVs under the guide of "China's new energy vehicle policy."
You can get a little more info about it in the press release below, or discover the little peach in the high-res gallery above.
