Danbury, Connecticut, United States

Vehicle up for bid is a 1987 300zx Turbo.  This Z is in excellent condition and is nearly rust-free, almost impossible to find at this age.  This car has been in my possession for over a year and I am the third owner AFAIK.  Car drivers down the road straight and is tight and responsive.  The interior is mint with no rips or wear on the seats, carpet is clean and free from stains, dash is perfect without warping or damage, doorpanels are the nicest I've seen ... also appears to have been a smoke-free car.  Paints shines nicely and body is very straight, trim is all present.  There are a few minor dings and scratches consistent with its age but overall the car presents itself very well.   I have personally done all maintenance and repairs on this car and have tried my best to ensure it remains reliable and fun to drive for years to come. Here is a list of repair/replaced/refurbished items:

1) Timing belt/tensioner/Cylinder Head Temp Sensor (CHTS) & subharness
2) water pump/hoses/coolant/thermostat
3) alt/ps/AC belts
4) Clutch master & slave cylinders & DOT4 fluid
5) pads/rotors front & rear, entire brake system bled with fresh DOT4 fluid
6) differential and transmission fluid changed (Synchromesh in tranny, Mobil1 75-90 in diff)
7) plugs/cap/rotor/wires/
8) oil changed
9) polyurethane sway bar bushings front & rear
10) 3" turbo back exhaust terminating to a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler, throaty & mellow with no drone or raspiness
11) shocks/struts replace with KYB's by previous owner


cosmetic/electrical:
1) aftermarket steering wheel
2) aftermarket shift knob
3) faux suede headliner
4) ADR M-Sport wheels with new 235/45/17 tires
5) decent pioneer CD headunit with aftermarket speakers
6) new headlight switch
7) boost gauge installed in place of center pod, works well (set at 7/8 psi for safe yet effective performance gain)

Needs:
1) AC/blower doesn't work (didn't fix because...... T-tops)
2) haven't figured how to hook up horn with new steering wheel.  Will come with old wheel if you prefer...
3) driver fog light bulb
4) headlight motors tempermental, did headlight-down mod to alleviate problem
5) burns a little oil, could use new valve seals.  Motor runs perfectly otherwise.

This car has very few needs and could easily be a great daily driver with a bit of work.  It is extremely difficult to find a Z31 with no rust and this car is as close as you can get.  The only rust present is a tiny spot just below the pass taillights (will update ad with pic).  The quarters and undercarriage are all totally rust free.  Fenders and rocker panels are totally rust free.  Crossmember mounting points and unibody frame rails are totally rust free.   There is a bit of surface rust under the tool kit, it is not structural and has not perforated the metal.  Car is located in lower Westchester County in Yonkers, NY and can either be picked up in person or I can assist in loading onto the carrier of your choice.  I require a $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction's end and the remainder to be paid within 10 days via paypal or certified bank check.  Cash upon pickup in person is welcome, of course.  Any questions please feel free to ask, I will answer as best and as promptly as I can.   Car may be viewed locally with appointment.  Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early.  Good luck and thanks for looking!

***I will be away on a family vacation from 15th to the 18th which may cause a slight delay in communications***

About 20k Nissan Pathfinder, Infiniti JX models recalled for potentially faulty brakes

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and 2013 Infiniti JX due to a problem with the front brakes. The problem is a result of the brake torque member (a part that attaches the brake caliper to the front suspension), which was cast improperly with a structural weakness that could possibly lead to "reduced braking, increasing the risk of a crash," according to NHTSA. How, you ask? If the part breaks, the brake caliper could move position and possibly make contact with the wheel.
Around 20,000 of these sister crossovers are being recalled, but it doesn't sound like all were equipped with the faulty component. Dealers will inspect vehicles built between December 3, 2012 and January 29, 2013, and replace components from the defective batch. The recall goes into effect next month, but until then, the official recall notice is posted below with information for how owners can contact Nissan.

Nissan Rogue, Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 recalled for loose lug nuts

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Nissan has announced a small recall affecting 334 vehicles built just a few months back. 2014 Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder and 2014 Infiniti QX60 CUVs built between March 7 and March 10, 2014 could be susceptible to a loose lug nut on the passenger side wheels.
We shouldn't have to explain why a loose lug is a bit of an issue. Thankfully, it's also a ridiculously easy fix. Nissan obviously recommends reporting to your local dealer - and it will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles - but this is one of those rare recalls that has an easy DIY element to it.
Take a look below for a brief bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Nissan reveals NP300 Navara pickup, is it the next Frontier? [w/videos] [UPDATE]

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

UPDATE: Statement from Nissan added, below.
After plenty of teasing, Nissan has finally revealed the NP300 Navara pickup, previewing America's next Frontier. Now, before we dive into all the info on this new midsize pickup, it's important to note that we don't quite have the official details on the American-spec truck, so there's quite a bit of information here that might not carry through to the North American market.
Depending on the market, the Navara will offer either a four-cylinder diesel or a four-cylinder gas engine, both of which displace 2.5 liters. Nissan claims both engines have been improved, with the oil-burner producing 188 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. There aren't specific figures on the gas engine, although we should expect that it will see a nice bump from the current Frontier's four-cylinder, which offers up 152 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. It's not clear if a V6 will be available in the US, as there's no mention of it in the Navara's literature.
