for your consideration……...one vintage race rocket. this is a 1978 nissan (datsun) 280z race rocket. the true mystique surrounding this car lies in its clouded history. the car is rumored to have ties with multiple forms of racing, wears nissan factory colors, was state of the art for its time, and the prior owner indicated that it had some ties with the millen organization……….but there is little documentation on the car. so if you are a super sleuth, perhaps this is your chance to unearth the realites that this car would love to be able to tell us about. let’s take a step back…….to the beginning. famous heavy metal guitarist, jack pemma……...from the rock group, white eagle, not only played guitar fast……….but lived in the fast lane……..and drove fast cars. he had a number of nissan race vehicles, and supposedly had ties to the nissan factory. after his other datsun race vehicles, jack wanted to build his ultimate z race car…….and this is what was offered here today. jack was able to race his car before he passed away about 15 years ago. the car has been sitting in storage ever since. jack raced the car for centeno/pemma racing, and aerotech racing. he really spent lots of time, effort and money to make this the ultimate z car. the car was modified many times and improved over and over. i spoke to a porsche racing gentleman who stated he ran against the car numerous times. he said some days his race 911 turbo would take the day, but others, there was no catching jack. his recounted the car racing at ontario, willow springs, and a number of famous tracks throughout the west coast. we obtained the car, and have changed little, in order to keep the vintage feel of the car true to the era in which it raced. we’ve touched up some paint, and replaced the seats, but the rest is just as jack would have wanted it to remain. the list of improvements is extensive, and frankly, i still don’t know all the upgrades that the car keeps showing us. the engine is a highly built L28, which was built specifically to take the load of the huge NOS bottle in the back of the car. so i assume everything inside the engine is forged. i’ve been told the car had been professionally dyno’d many times, and made impressive power. hearing and driving the car …….i believe it……..and i don’t have the guts to even squeeze the NOS trigger. trans was replaced awhile ago, and seems fine, as well as a good rear end. seems like a tight running and driving car. we are hoping to take it onto the track, just to sort it out a bit………..but other projects dictate that we have to pass this car on to another lucky owner. pinned fiberglass hood, lightweight fiberglass fenders and front spoiler. aero headlight covers, ssr super lightweight 17” wheels, rear spoiler, dual racing harnesses, racing seats, push button start, squeeze triggered from gas pedal, high output fuel pump, performance suspension upgrades, roll cage, side skirts, gutted interior, front and rear strut tower braces and on, and on……. bottom line……..if you like z’s………..this is the one to have. it appears to me, that the car was being prepared for an ultimate speed run…….perhaps the copperstate or the like. the huge NOS bottle was there for sqeezing hard and for a long time. the paint is beautiful and has only been touched up in places. the car still wears plenty of battle scars, but is in amazing condition for an original vintage racer of this period. in addition, although not currently registered, the car was licenced last in california in 1999…………..and was driven on the street !!! there are no penalties on the car. sold with lien sale paperwork, but we can also provide a title given time for dmv to process the paperwork. really a unique opportunity……….and if you do your research and are able to uncover its historical past, you may have an investment on your hands. non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of auction end. feel free to come inspect the car prior to the end of the auction. no inspection after conclusion of the auction, pending receipt of full payment. we can assist with international shipping. feel free to ask any questions, and be sure to view the youtube video we have on the car. happy bidding. Always looking for pre 1975 Muscle cars, Volvo P1800, Metropolitan, Alfa Romeo, Porsche 911, 914 240Z 260Z 280Z, older Cadillac, Camaro, Mustang, Vintage race cars, older Jaguars, British sports cars, kit cars, project cars, 1948-1986 interesting cars. |

Wed, Oct 22 2014The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive goes on sale in Europe on November 3, with deliveries starting before the end of the year. Developed with the help of Tesla, the new electric B-Class offers more than 132 kilowatts (177 horsepower) and 250 pound-feet of torque. It features Economy Plus, Economy and Sport driving modes.

The B-Class Electric Drive also offers an optional Range Plus button, which can unlock more battery capacity when charging for the occasional longer drive. Learn more in the press release below. Racing returns to the streets of Miami for the first time in more than a decade for the Formula E Miami ePrix on March 14, 2015. Formula E has revealed the track layout, which takes the race around the Miami Heat's home court, American Airlines Arena, along the Biscayne Bay. "This event will help to make Miami more of a sports city," says Mayor Thomas Regalado. "In addition, we will show the younger generations that you may have motor racing without noise or pollution." Read more about the event at the Formula E website and see the track layout in detail here. Hyundai has delivered the first ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles to customers in the UK, including clean energy company ITM Power. ITM is responsible for three of the hydrogen refueling stations being built around the EU as part of the Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles project - the same project that helped bring the Hyundai ix35 (also known as the Tucson) Fuel Cell to Europe. ITM's 700-bar hydrogen stations will be built in London by Spring 2015, each with its own electrolyzer system on site. In the meantime, ITM will use the ix35 for commutes between London and Sheffield, refueling at a site that uses wind-generated electricity from an on-site turbine to power the electrolyzer to make the hydrogen.

Aluminum supplier Novelis says demand will likely increase 30 percent annually for the next 10 years in China, Japan and Korea, and possibly more depending on how China's plan to increase EV use and decrease air pollution shakes out.

Nissan and BMW want the UK to stay in the EU
Wed, Mar 9 2016Nissan and BMW are saying that the Brexit shouldn't become reality. It's a mixture of hope and threat because their planned investments in the UK risk to be damaged by the referendum's result. While those brands are still saying that every decision from the UK's people will be respected, you can sense a fear that every plan is going to be messed up. The problem is simple according to Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn: "For us, a position of stability is more positive than a collection of unknowns. It makes the most sense for jobs, trade and costs." For sure Nissan is not going to shut its plant in northeast England if the country exits the Union, but this could change plans for the future, as the so-called Brexit could cause an increase on costs and above all on competition. Nissan employs 8,000 people in the UK across its manufacturing, engineering, and design facilities, and a further 32,000 indirectly through dealerships and its supply chain. All these people produce almost half a million cars and 80 percent of those are exported, so just imagine how taxes could affect prices and sales. If the EU's borders get smaller, Nissan will face some problems with customs duties the foreign products struggle with, as other Japanese automakers have so far, while importing their cars into the Union. Nissan is not the only maker interested in the outcome of the referendum to be held June 23; BMW is of the same mood, hoping Brexit won't become reality. The Germans already warn Mini and Rolls-Royce employees that the exit of UK from the Union could cause problems with increasing costs and higher prices due to tariff barriers. BMW CEO Harald Krueger at the Geneva auto show said "a UK vote to exit the European Union would cloud the future of the automaker's UK brands, which include Mini, along with Rolls-Royce". What's happening in this case is not only an English issue. In fact, although every decision taken by the UK's people must be respected, the automakers are right when saying they hope it is not going to happen, as you hope no one changes the cards during the game.

Nissan's crowdsourced Project Titan is ready to tackle Alaska [w/videos]
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Alaska still offers Americans the chance to really experience the wilderness, and Nissan is challenging its Titan pickup to its offroad extremes with a little help from its fans. After crowdsourcing a heap of mods, the company is handing it over to two Wounded Warrior Project Alumni to do their worst in the backcountry to see what the truck can do.
Nissan last experimented with the crowdsourcing idea on its Project 370Z in 2012 but might have taken things even further this time. For Project Titan, the automaker let fans vote on 10 different areas to customize on a 2014 Titan Crew Cab PRO-4X. To fit the rugged look, the company covered it up with a custom digital-camouflage wrap with a Wounded Warrior Project emblem and even outfitted its all-terrain camping trailer in a similar scheme. An LED lighting rig was also added to the new bull bar and roof rack to brighten the night. For a just little more grunt, the 5.6-liter V8 was outfitted with a Nismo cold-air intake and Borla cat-back exhaust, and to keep from getting stuck, the pickup got an upgraded suspension with more travel and 18-inch wheels with 35-inch Nitto offroad tires. The interior was also slightly revised with big GPS system and custom embroidered seats.
Now, it's time to see if the truck's mods can handle what the Alaskan wilderness can throw at it. The two Wounded Warrior Project Alumni are just starting their expedition and are expecting snow on the way. Scroll down to watch three build videos for the Titan and read Nissan's official announcement. You can also follow their journey on Nissan Trucks' Facebook page.
