**** Stillen Supercharged 04 350z****** on 2040-cars
Hercules, California, United States
Here is your opportunity to own one of the hottest Z-Cars on the road! This 2004 Nissan 350Z Roadster got shipped from new mexico. Previous "First" owner had STILLEN (Steve Millen Motorsports in Costa Mesa, California) tune the car and add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger to Nissan's acclaimed VQ-series alloy V-6. Total investment: over $63,000.
With only a little over 48,000 miles on it, it runs as smoothly as the day it left STILLEN's tuning shop, and would make an excellent daily driver. Unlike many performance cars, it is not the least bit delicate or finicky... it wants to be driven! To this day, this superb automobile elicits approving comments wherever it goes, and has been featured in photo shoots as well as seen in a motion picture The car started life as a stock '04 Nissan 350Z Roadster, with automatic transmission and the "Touring" package (with optional "Z" logo floor and trunk carpet mats). It included the black fabric power top, heated seats, CD/Cassette/Radio BOSE sound system with subwoofer, and leather-trimmed interior with orange stitching on the seats, which compliments the factory "Le Mans Sunset" metallic paint. It also has HID headlamps, and LED taillights. To this the master mechanics of STILLEN - Steve Millen Motorsports of Costa Mesa, California - add their twin-screw, Roots-type supercharger. BTW, Steve Millen was Nissan's factory race car driver for many years, so he and his team know the Z-Car quite well. His mechanics also added their proprietary intake with K&N rechargeable air filter, performance pulleys, additional ground wires on the engine, an intercooler for the supercharger, extended oil pan with large sump (to minimize cavitation during hard cornering), lower-temperature engine thermostat for better performance in warmer climates, their own stainless steel exhaust system (which, under acceleration, produces a tone reminiscent of a Formula One racer), adjustable anti-sway bars front and rear, upgraded transmission (in order to better deal with the increased horsepower and torque), ground effects body kit (painted in the factory "Le Mans Sunset" color), a real carbon fiber hood to accommodate the supercharger, and a rear-deck spoiler. The car has been run on full-synthetic Mobil-1 oil since purchased. Also added, at a later date, were 19" SSR Semi-Solid Forged Racing light alloy wheels (wider in the rear), and Racing Brake 4-pot disc brake calipers front and rear, with two-piece rotors all around (drilled and slotted in the front; slotted only in the rear). The interior had real aluminum trim added to the factory trim pieces.The car is currently equipped with General all-season performance tires (they offer fine wet-weather traction) that have slightly over 4,000 miles on them. Also driver side rear wheel has been replaced with the brand new matching wheel (see picture) Being nine years old, there are some very minor paint chips and scratches, but, as you can see from the photos, nothing at all which detracts from the car's general appearance. The interior leather trim is also in very good shape, as well. So, how does this car perform? One word: AMAZING. Just depress the accelerator, and feel the supercharger surge! Unlike a turbocharger, the supercharger kicks-in from the get go, providing it's power boost from idle through redline. And the handling? If this car doesn't make you smile through the twisties, nothing will! It sticks like glue. This Z makes you want to seek-out mountain roads. |

2014 Nissan Maxima gets new Limited Edition model, pricing
Fri, 30 Aug 2013With a new Maxima expected to debut next year for the 2015 model year, Nissan is only making small changes to its big sedan for 2014. Buyers looking to get behind the wheel of Nissan's "4-Door Sports Car" will be happy to know that the base price for the 2014 Maxima carries over from 2013 starting at $31,000 (*excluding the $810 destination charge).
Aside from two new colors, the only change to the base Maxima S is the addition of a new option group. Sounding very similar to the Sport Package available on the SV, the $750 Limited Edition Package adds smoked Xenon headlights, dark-accented 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler and fog lights. Stepping up to the SV trim level, the Maxima now comes standard with a rearview camera, Xenon headlights and a seven-inch screen, but its price has also been increased by $850, so it starts at $34,090. Scroll down for more info on the 2014 Maxima.
Nissan working on something radical for Le Mans
Tue, 17 Dec 2013With Porsche joining Audi and Toyota at the front of the LMP1 grid at Le Mans next year, Nissan is the next to be throwing its hat (and considerable R&D budget) into the proverbial ring. But only if it's allowed to do something radically different, according to the latest report in Car magazine.
Just what that means remains to be seen, but Nissan is reportedly in active discussions with the ACO (the body that governs the race) to see how far it can stretch the regulations. The ACO has taken an intriguingly different approach to equalizing performance, mandating the maximum amount of energy that can be used per lap instead of telling teams what kind of engines they can use. That's how Porsche is entering with a four-cylinder engine, Toyota with a V8 and Audi with a diesel six. But when it comes to the shape of the car itself, the rules are considerably more restrictive.
Unfortunately the rules would prohibit Nissan fielding the ZEOD RC (with its narrow front track) in the LMP1 class, relegating it instead to the Garage 56 slot for experimental racers (which the DeltaWing filled before). And the realities of endurance racing would effectively prohibit anyone from fielding an all-electric racer. Within those confines, though, Nissan is eager to find enough wiggle room to make something both visually and technically different from other LMPs. And if the ACO won't let it do so at Le Mans, it could turn to another race or series (like the Nürburgring 24) that would.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
