Anthony, New Mexico, United States

Up for auction is my 300zx Twin Turbo. Car is in great condition mechanically, needs a little bit of cosmetic work. 

Car has had the following work done (fully documented with receipts): 

2014: 
- Brake fluid flush
- AC system repair (had custom compressor fan installed at AAA mechanic Aguirre Auto as no one manufactures the OEM units)

2013: 
- Replaced Battery (car had been sitting)
- Performed throttle body coolant bypass (Intake manifold cleaned, new intake manifold gasket)
- Replaced passenger side valve cover gasket
- Fuel filter replaced
- Fuel system cleaned
- Diagnosed check engine light to be due to rich condition (likely due to either bad o2 sensors, fuel delivery or aftermarket exhaust)

2012 (previous owner): 
- Replaced Battery
Work done at Jack Key Nissan (Las Cruces, NM): 
- Replaced Alternator
- Replaced all six injectors with new gaskets
- Replaced EGR gaskets
- Misc. Vacuum tubes replaced
- Knock sensor replaced
- EGR sensor replaced
- Timing Belt replaced
- Tension belt replaced
- Water pump replaced
- Thermostat replaced
- Misc. Coolant hoses replaced

2008 (previous owner): 
Replaced block with JDM import, swap done by AAA mechanic (Aguirre Auto Las Cruces NM) with following items replaced on JDM block:
- Timing Belt
- Rear Main Seal
- Front Crank Seal
- Injector Seals
- Water Pump
- Spark Plugs
- Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set
- Valve Cover Gasket Set

- Injector (1)
- Injector Seal Kit (1)
- New Battery

2007 (previous owner): 
- New radiator

2006 (previous owner): 
- Replaced head light switch & fixed fuse block

For the bad: 
- Car has been sitting for several months. Starts up right away, but idles a bit rough until warm. Driven the car on 100+ mile daily commutes to work here and there, but the car REALLY needs to be driven consistently to get her back on her feet. 
- Car has a HICAS leak (not surprising if you've owned one before)
- Check Engine Light is on (read description).   
- Needs some minor bodywork (see pics).
- Could use shocks/springs. 
- Could use tires. 

Car has been kept as close to OEM as possible. The only exceptions are the aftermarket stereo (nothing fancy; in fact the OEM radio is probably better at this point) and the intake system (previous owner installed an intake kit). 

Price reflects the need for some tune-up work, and potential body work. KBB rough private party is ~$5,900.  Priced $5,500 as I need her gone. 

Any questions, drop me a line.

Nissan's Ghosn called out by Deltawing's Panoz in print ad

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

When the Nissan ZEOD RC limped to the side of the Circuit de la Sarthe a mere five laps into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, we imagine that a certain American motorsports figure at least smirked a little. Don Panoz's ongoing feud with Nissan probably means he wasn't sorry to see the arrow-shaped racecar's poor showing, and now he's stepping up his campaign against his former racing partner.
For those who need a refresher, back in 2012, Panoz and Nissan teamed up to field the DeltaWing, an innovative, wedge-shaped racer, as the first entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans' experimental Garage 56 concept. The car rapidly became a fan favorite. The Panoz/Nissan alliance didn't last, though, and before long, the DeltaWing's designer was getting a paycheck from Nissan and the ZEOD RC racer arrived. Shortly after that, Panoz began mulling over a lawsuit alleging intellectual property infringement. The American motorsports icon would eventually pull the trigger on a suit back in December of 2013.
Panoz's latest move in the ongoing feud involves an open letter in both The Nashville Tennessean, the paper that serves Nissan's US headquarters, and trade paper Automotive News. The letter calls out Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn directly, and points out some of the similarities between the DeltaWing and the ZEOD RC, going so far as to quote the original car's designer, Ben Bowlby.

Nissan reviving Pulsar name for Euro market

Mon, 19 May 2014

The Nissan Pulsar doesn't have what we'd consider a rich history in the US, other than on some models decades ago. However, the nameplate has been part of the Nissan lineup globally since 1978 and has proven popular in Asia and Australia. Now, the brand is teasing a five-door hatch to revive the name and hit European showrooms this fall.
The new Pulsar will be built at the company's recently renovated factory in Barcelona, Spain. It's not clear from the teaser whether this is the same model that is already sold in other parts of the world or a brand new vehicle. Although, Nissan says in the announcement that the car "has been designed to meet the specific demands of European car buyers."
With competitors like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, the European five-door hatch market is seriously competitive. It will be interesting to see if Nissan will have something special to bring to the table. Scroll down to read Nissan's full teaser about its latest hatchback in Europe.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
