I bought this car with great intentions, but I have a 73 240Z that is quite frankly in better shape. This car has rust, but it has potential for someone that has more bodywork skills than I do. Pictures of any angle or location of the car that you need will be taken upon request. The reason that this car is in bad shape, is that the person that I bought this from left it sitting outside for a year and did absolutely nothing with it, but disassemble parts and leaves them laying...this is really the reason that I bought it is because it is basically the best and last ZX made, and I was going to make it right. If no one wants the complete car...then I will start parting it out, I really want someone who is interested in this complete car first since this car has great potential being all original. I also have a MSA downpipe that I just bought today because they were on sale that will go with this car. My zip is 31804, about 1 1/2 hours southwest of Atlanta, next to Ft Benning, GA. This car had not title when I bought it, you will get a bill of sale, GA law does not require a title for cars older than 1985...check your state.
**UPDATE** Replaced ECU today and the engine fired up and died a few seconds later...vacuum hoses are rotten and I will be getting to them shortly, but it should run once those are fixed. Everyday I do something to improve this vehicle, I am working on putting the interior back together between school, work and kids...I will keep updates on here as I get them. Good Luck

ECU is bad

Due to the numerous questions about the same thing, this car does have rust, it does not run, but everyday I am repairing it as I can. I know what the car is worth just from the parts that are on it and this is a fair price, but to reaffirm this car does need body work, but what can you expect, the previous owner left it outside for over a year. I have a friend in Atlanta that is going to let me borrow an ECU to see if I can get the engine running, which I believe it will. I just want to give someone the opportunity to get a complete car before I part it out. Consider this a project car, I am just being honest.

I adjusted price to reflect the cost of an ECU.

2013 Nissan Frontier gets substantial price drop, better fuel economy
Mon, 04 Mar 2013With the competition dwindling (or dying) among compact trucks, Nissan is looking to make some minor changes to the 2013 Frontier to snag a few extra sales for its aging pickup. Pricing and fuel economy are probably two of the most important vehicle stats among new-car buyers, and the 2013 Nissan Frontier has made vast improvements in both areas over the 2012 model.
First things first: The MSRP of both the King Cab and Crew Cab models have dropped by $1,270 with new starting prices of $17,990 and $22,030 (*not including the $845 destination charge), respectively. The biggest price drop is seen on the SV Crew Cab 4x2, which dropped $1,450 to its new price of $23,990. The important thing here is that the 2013 Frontier King Cab is now priced just a few hundred dollars more than a regular cab version of the Toyota Tacoma. Nissan is also offering a new SV Value Truck Package that includes all the equipment of the previous SV Premium Utility Package (spray-on bedliner, Utili-Track in-bed cargo system with four adjustable cleats and Bluetooth) and adds in a rearview monitor and dual-zone air conditioning.
Another key change made for 2013 was to the Frontier's fuel economy. Except for the base-model truck (King Cab, inline-four, manual transmission, two-wheel drive), all other configurations have seen increases in city and/or highway fuel economy to the tune of one or two miles per gallon; the biggest improvement was to the V6 models with the automatic transmission, which saw an improvement of one mpg city and two mpg highway. Nissan accomplished this with better aerodynamics and updated internal engine components to reduce friction. Aero changes include a seal between the cab and bed, a tailgate spoiler and a new front chin spoiler. For more details on the 2013 Frontier - including a full pricing breakdown - scroll down for the official press release.
Nissan looking to expand UK plant to build Infiniti Q30
Thu, 22 Aug 2013With the Infiniti Q30 concept heading to the Frankfurt Motor Show next month and a future premium compact model heading into production at Nissan's Sunderland UK assembly plant, just connecting the dots tells us this new small Infiniti is headed for UK production. Backing this up, Reuters is reporting that Nissan is looking to expand the Sunderland plant by 25,000 square feet, while Automotive News Europe takes it a step further by almost confirming that the Q30 will be built alongside the Nissan Qashqai and Note.
The reports say that Sunderland is already the UK's biggest automotive plant, but the expansion will make it even larger with production capacity expected to rise from the current 500,000 units built each year to more than 550,000. There is no indication if the expansion will bring more jobs to the plant, which already employs around 6,000 people.
Nissan to build Golf-fighter in Spain
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Nissan hasn't had a proper European entry in the ridiculously popular compact hatchback segment since it stopped offering its somewhat staid and uninspiring Almera (above) in 2006. According to Automotive News Europe, the new machine, which will not be called Almera, will be marketed against the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus - two extremely popular models in Europe. Production is slated to begin in July of 2014.
The new compact will be built in Barcelona, Spain, at the factory that currently builds the Pathfinder, Navara pickup and NV200 commercial van. An investment of $178 million will be made to assemble the compact car, and an additional $27 million will go to the plant to create more trucks and transmissions for electric vehicles.
The decision to invest in Spain comes after the automaker successfully renegotiated contracts with local unions. Similar talks are underway in France, where Nissan partner Renault is based, but as of yet no new agreements have been struck. Feel free to browse through the official press release below.
