Automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, 4 wheel disc brakes, cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, power lumbar seat support, tilt wheel, ac, smoked glass t-tops. I purchased this car new in 1985. Until November 2011, it was kept in Oceanside California where it spent 20 1/2 years in storage. It has never been driven in salt and is completely rust free. It was always garaged when not being driven. The original paint is not faded at all and shines like new. Except for a couple small nicks and scratches and a small dent in the right rear fender (see photo), the car looks like it did when I bought it new in December 1985. The interior is mint. The seats, carpet, and headliner are in like new condition with no wear, tears, stains, or fading at all. The vinyl looks brand new with no cracks, scratches, or fading. The car has never been smoked in. Except for the FM radio and the cruise control, everything works. Nothing needs to be fixed. The car was in storage in California for 20 1/2 years until November 2011. Right after taking it out of storage, I replaced the battery, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, differential grease, rear brake pads, air and fuel filters, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and belts. As a precaution, I also replaced the timing belt and water pump and put 4 new tires on the car. In December 2011, Nissan replaced the fuel injectors due to a recall. Since taking it out of storage, I’ve driven it about 1,000 miles. The car starts, idles, and runs like new. There are no fluid leaks at all. None! Except for the cruise control and FM radio, everything works; Nothing needs to be fixed. Although the car is a 1986 model, because of its storage, use, and maintenance history, the car's condition is more like what you’d expect to find on a well maintained, late model, California car. Potential buyers are welcome to come and inspect this Z. You will be amazed how fresh and clean the car is and how well it runs. I’m sure it will exceed your expectations. I’m moving and will no longer have room for the car, so I have to part with it. Please feel free to call Frank at 715-203-1430, I’ll be happy to answer any questions, provide more information, or email receipt copies and a Carfax report to verify the car’s history. (see the following for a more detailed history)
Car History Highway Miles, 1986 – 1991, Florida, California I bought this car new in December 1985 after returning to the states from a 3 1/2 year middle east work assignment. I planned to take some time off to tour FL, the south, and south west and looked for a car that was fun to drive, but comfortable, and roomy enough for a couple suit cases. After test driving the Toyota Supra, Chevy Corvette, and the Porche 944, I liked the 300ZX best and put 22,000 highway miles on it in 1986, the first year I owned it. Over the next 4 1/2 years, I used the car only for pleasure while living in CA and drove it another 25,000 miles before putting it in storage in July 1991. The car remained in California storage for 20 1/2 years. Storage, 1991 – 2011, California In July 1991, I took another overseas work assignment, so I put the car in storage with the intention of returning in 24 months. At the time, I considered selling it rather than storing it, but it looked and ran like new, and there was no other car that I liked more, so I kept it. My plan was to return to CA after working overseas, but instead I ended up working in and eventually buying a business in WI, so to make a long story short, the Z remained in CA storage for 20 1/2 years. Maintenance, November 2011 In October 2011, I went to Oceanside, CA planning to take the car out of storage and selling it out there. I told a mechanic that I was planning to sell the car that week, and to do whatever was necessary to start it. He changed the oil, flushed and replaced the coolant, installed a new battery, new fuel filter, new thermostat, fresh gas, and cleaned the fuel injectors and surprisingly the car started right up and ran great. After seeing and driving the car again, I couldn't part with it. The mechanic recommended that, if I was going to keep the car, I should, as a precaution, replace the timing belt, because if it broke, the engine would be ruined. So I had him replace it. While he had the car apart, he also replaced the water pump, the camshaft seals, and the other 3 belts. I also put 4 new tires on the car and then had it trucked to Wisconsin. After the car arrived in Wisconsin, I had the transmission, power steering, and differential fluids changed. Fuel Injector Recall, December 2011 The mechanic that took the car out of storage in California told me that there was an open 1996 Nissan recall on the fuel injectors. So after getting the car to Wisconsin, I took it to a dealer and was surprised to learn that they were still willing to do the work at no cost. As part of the recall, not only did the dealer replace all the fuel injectors, but they also replaced the fuel pressure regulator, all of the fuel lines, and any vacuum hoses, or water hoses that had to be removed during the repair procedure. While the car was at the dealer, I also had them replace the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and brake fluid.

Tires: New Firestone Firehawk GT BL 11/1/11 - 47,414 Brakes: The front pads are original Nissan pads and still have more than half the pad remaining.

Cruise Control: The cruise control turns on, but won’t activate. There is a very thorough trouble-shooting flow chart in the service manual to diagnose the problem. Maintenance: All servicing is up to date. This car needs nothing. Timing Belt, Water Pump, Camshaft Seals: 11/4/2011 - 47,456 Belts Replaced – Alternator, Power Steering, AC : 11/4/2011- 47,456 Fuel Injectors Replaced (Nissan Recall): 12/14/11 – 47,634 Tune Up – Replaced spark plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor: 12/14/2011 – 47,634 Brake Fluid Change: 12/14/2011 – 47,634 Radiator Flush: 11/25/2011 – 47,583 Fluids Replaced – Rear differential, power steering, transmission: 11/15/2011 - 47,499 Oil/filter: 11/26/11 – 47,601 Spare Tire, Jack, Tool Kit: Never been used. Like new condition. Body: This car was undercoated new by the dealer and spent most of its years in storage in Califronia. It’s never been driven in salt and was always garaged when not being driven. There is a small dent in right rear fender from a 1991 parking lot hit and run. (see last photo) Accidents: January 1986 fender bender. Left front fender and hood replaced. Exterior paint: The car was always garaged when not being driven. The original paint is not faded at all and still shines like new. There are a few very small scratches and blemishes including a small scratch in the hood and a small scratch in the passenger door. (See last 4 photos. The photo next to the penny is of the hood scratch.) I guarantee that if you look at the car, it will exceed your expectations.

Carfax. Autocheck. Durring the years 1986 thru 1991 I lived in Florida and California. The car was titled and registered in Florida from 1986 to 1991. From 1992 - 2011 the car remained titled in Florida, but since the car was in storage, I did not buy plates for it or register it. In October 2011, I titled and registered the car in WI. I will provide copies of the titles upon request. I expected to see entries on the Carfax and Autocheck reports for the 1986 - 1991 FL registrations, but there are none. I looked at other Z31 Carfax reports and noticed that often the reports are missing entries for those years. I do have service records that show that the car was in FL or CA for the years 1986 - 1991. I aslo have CA service records for the work done when I took the car out of storge in October 2011, the November 2011 receipt for the shipping costs from CA to WI, and the service records for the Wisconsin Nissan Fuel Injector recall work done in December 2011. The following pictures were taken in September 2013.

Dacia Duster to spawn inexpensive Nissan Terrano, will we get it?
Sat, 08 Jun 2013When going to overseas auto shows, one can't help but spend an inordinate amount of time eyeballing forbidden automotive fruit. It's often of the seriously rare, criminally powerful and six- or seven-digit variety. But more often than one might think, the genuinely affordable overseas hero makes us swoon, too. So it is with the Dacia/Renault Duster, the cheap-as-chips, hard-wearing utility vehicle. We've often thought that its basic, rugged charms would play well in the US if saddled with a low enough price tag, but we've never seen much of a window for that to actually come true.
But now, Autocar India is reporting that Nissan will flex its alliance with Renault to spin off a Duster of its own, one that exhumes the Terrano nameplate, a moniker once used for overseas versions of the first- and second-generation Pathfinder. The new model will feature unique sheetmetal to give it a familial look, but the interior will be the same, and we expect the same goes for the powertrain, meaning there will be a range of gasoline and diesel four-cylinder engines with both manual and automatic gearboxes and front- or all-wheel drive.
So, does that mean we'll get a Nissan version of the Duster-based Terrano to call our own? Sadly, almost certainly not. Company spokesman Dan Bedore tells Autoblog flatly, "There are no plans to bring this model to the US." Bummer. Even if it isn't ultimately as capable as the larger, long-in-the-tooth Xterra (it's more on par with the now departed Canadian-market X-Trail), we think the Duster's archetypal SUV looks and low cost barrier would win it plenty of fans in our market. Our guess is that redesigning the model to meet US regulations (crash, emissions, lighting, etc.) would be prohibitively expensive, and the Dacia/Renault model is built in some pretty distant facilities - Brazil, India, Romania and Russia among them - making the business case harder still.
Sebastien Vettel testing Infiniti's production Etherea?
Thu, 30 May 2013It sounds like Sebastian Vettel has had his hands full recently, juggling his Formula One racing career while moonlighting as the newly appointed director of performance at Infiniti. On that latter note, Autocar is reporting that Vettel has been testing a production version of the Etherea Concept at France's Circuit Paul Ricard.
There is still no word as to when we could see this car go into production or what it will be called (possibly the Q30), but it will likely share a platform with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class as a part of the Daimler/Renault-Nissan collaboration. The article also said that this future entry-level Infiniti would be produced at Nissan's Sunderland, UK plant.
Man sells testicle to buy Nissan 370Z
Wed, 27 Nov 2013We aren't entirely sure what's stranger about this story - that a man actually sold a vital piece of his manhood for a car, or that he did it for a Nissan 370Z. That's not to discredit the trusty Fairlady, a car we generally like, but that if we were to do what Mark Parisi did and sell one of his testicles to science, we'd be asking for a helluva lot more than $35,000.
But Parisi did just that, and announced live on CBS' The Doctors (we really can't make this up) that the sale of his nut would go towards the purchase of a Z. According to our friends Down Under (Australia, get your mind out of the gutter), $35K is the going rate for one slightly used testicle, so if you get nothing else from this story, gentlemen, know that you have $70,000 swinging between your legs.
