1990 Nissan 300zx Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
Up for sale is my beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 automatic.
This is a wonderful car that is a blast to drive and gets looks everywhere I
go. I hate to sell it but a new pair of twins in my life means that priorities
have to change. A brief history of the car: The car was purchased from the
original owner in 1998 from my Wife’s uncle. He passed it down to my brother in-law
in 2005. Unfortunately my wife’s uncle did not take very good care of the car’s
engine which forced my brother in-law to correct a few issues. He decided to
replace the engine with a JDM spec motor in an attempt to have two engines to
work with if needed. At the same time the car would be gone through and
anything that needed attention would be addressed. My brother in-law owned a
custom car shop at the time and all of the work was performed professionally in
his shop. At the time of the engine swap the car had just over 90K miles. In
the summer of 2006 the engine was replaced with an engine pulled from the front
clip of a similar year JDM Fairlady Z. The JDM motor had approximately 50-60K
miles on it. During the swap the new engine received a complete major tune-up
along with several major service items. Below is a list of all items and
services performed during the engine swap: 50-60K miles JDM NA engine swap After the engine swap the plan for the car was to turn the
car into a period correct 90s custom. The following parts were also installed
on the car: Set of staggered width IMPUL RS 16” wheels with new tires In addition to the performance parts several other items
have also been addressed: New weather strip around windows With all of the powertrain and chassis items sorted out the
only thing left is the body which unfortunately I cannot afford to update right
now. The body is in really good condition as is but a paint job would make the
car absolutely perfect. There a few small dings here and there and the front
bumper has a few scuffs. The paint is original and shows pretty good for a 20+
year old car. As you can see from the pictures the car looks great and can
certainly be driven as is. The interior is also in great shape. Everything
except for the radio is original and again shows really well for the age. All
gauges, A/C, lights, power windows, and locks work as they should. |

Renault's planned luxury sub-brand gets reconsidered
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Renault believes there's enough Alpine love to restart that brand with its own model almost immediately. The launch of the Initiale Paris luxury brand it's been mulling, on the other hand, will be more restrained: a report in Autocar says that instead of launching with a first model based on the Mercedes E-Class architecture, Renault is going to introduce an Initiale Paris trim line on the new Clio and Espace. More accurately, that should be 're-introduce and aggressively market,' since Renault has used an Initiale Paris trim over the years since it introduced the concept car (pictured) in 1995, even as recently as the current-generation Laguna Coupe.
Other models will be added after the Clio and Espace, and when Renault can assess what kind of future the trim has, it will decide on the launch of a subsidiary brand. Company CEO Carlos Tavares said we shouldn't hang around waiting for a decision, though, declaring that establishing such a brand - if it even comes to that - "will be a job for at least my successor to worry about, not me."
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
2014 Nissan Rogue
Fri, 01 Nov 2013When I first started in this whole automotive journalism biz, I held a sort of hodgepodge receptionist/gopher/production assistant role, and each morning as the staff filed in, I'd ask them how they liked whatever car they were assigned to drive the previous night. Most of my colleagues would regale me with anecdotes about how good or bad a vehicle was, but one co-worker, every single morning, would answer my query with the exact same phrase: "It was fine."
I always assumed this was just a brush-off, an "ask me again after I've had a cup of coffee" sort of response. But then I found myself in a similar moment of brevity following the launch of the 2014 Nissan Rogue earlier this week. After returning home, a friend asked me what I thought of the new Rogue, and I replied, word for word, "It was fine."
And, well, it was. Nothing worth wasting exclamation points over, good or bad. Aside from something like the interesting-to-drive Mazda CX-5 or funky-looking Jeep Cherokee, nothing in this class really tries to set the world on fire. And that, right there, is fine. Nissan doesn't need to do anything crazy with its second-generation Rogue. It just needs to offer a well-equipped crossover that's handsome, functional, efficient and priced right - sticking to the same formula that made the first-generation model so successful while offering the latest crop of creature comforts in a more modern package.
