Has light swirl marks in finish but the paint is still shiny and glossy and looks great up close and far away. A few dings and dents on the body and the rear trunk lid / spoiler. Trunk-mounted spoiler is starting to bubble/crack and separate near the bottom. Light rubbing where the t-tops were stored in the hatchback. Overall an impressive example of a 1990 Twin Turbo but it's not brand new. Mechanically sound and well maintained."

1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo

Selling a superb example of the first year ZX featuring the 3.0L V6 181 Cubic Inch engine.  This car was babied and upgraded throughout its life and an extensive and detailed list of upgrades and maintenance is listed below.  Bid with confidence, this is the Z you've been dreaming of. The combination of a twin turbo engine with rear wheel drive paired with a 5-spd manual transmission makes for one of the most intense driving experiences you'll have with a car, period.

I have a lot of time and money invested in this beautiful car but realize that when we have a nice day in Minnesota, I'm far more likely to take the motorcycle out and the ZX shouldn't be second in line and deserves a new home where she will be driven and shown off. This Z has never seen snow and has only been caught in the rain on rare occasion. This car was not raced and except for normal maintenance (belts, spark plugs, fluids, etc), the engine is stock.

The vehicle has a clean and clear title, no accidents, non-smoking interior. Title in-hand and ready for the new owner.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to pack 595 hp, lap N"urburgring in 7:08

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

With two major auto shows taking place this week on different sides of the globe, the amount of news being posted across the internet is reaching a fever pitch. Naturally, things happen, trigger fingers get itchy and stories get leaked, which is apparently how we came across this spate of premature pictures and information on the eagerly anticipated Nissan GT-R Nismo.
Packing 595 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter V6, the Nismo-fied GT-R should be a serious kick in the pants when run hard. The new power is thanks to a number of donor parts from the GT-R Nismo GT3 racecar, bits that include larger turbochargers, revised intake and exhaust systems and new ignition timing.
Thanks to the engine enhancements, and, we imagine, a few other tweaks to the chassis, brakes and aerodynamics that have yet to be published, the GT-R Nismo is said to blitz the Nürburgring in just 7:08, a mere 11 seconds slower than the $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder. For a car that is rumored to cost well under a quarter of the price, that performance is just immense.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Nissan GT-R drag races Swiss fighter jet

Thu, 09 May 2013

Proving that speed is fun in any language, Nissan's German arm recently pitted a GT-R up against an ex-Swiss Air Force fighter jet, called the Hawker Hunter. Now the idea of a car-versus-plane drag race is nothing new, but this is the first time we can recall a GT-R being involved.
While this Nissan video is almost a month old, we're pretty sure you won't be disappointed by the action, which shows the two high-speed machines racing along the two-kilometer runway. We don't want to ruin the suspense, so scroll down for the latest matchup of sports car versus fighter jet.
