I bought this one owner car (I am the second owner) with 18k miles three years ago. Needless to say the car is in exceptional condition for its age - the interior looks and smells new, all electronics work including ABS, AC, adjustable suspension and 4 wheel steering. The body is straight and the red paint is original and shiny.

Given the car's age, my previous experience with a low mileage non-turbo Z, and my intention to use it as a reliable weekend driver, I went ahead and completed all scheduled and preventive maintenance:
- 30k mile service which included timing belt replacement (this is very important on Z's since broken belts lead to the loss of an engine) and new cam cover gaskets -~$2.5k job
- New Brembo rotors (front) and Hawk pads (front and back) - ~$0.5k
- New fuel lines, fuel filter and fuel dampener (due to heat soak and old age fuel lines have been know to crack in Zs)
- New battery
- New brake master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder (replaced due to the risk of rubber o-rings in the cylinders failing from old age)
- New Eagle F1 tires - $1.2k (less than 300 miles on these)
- Upgraded tension rods with Energy Suspension bushings
- Fluids (transmission oil, brake and and coolant fluids)

While the 300zx was a car ahead of its time when new, I decided to make a couple of upgrades to address a few weak spots and take advantage of the technological progress since the 90's. All upgrades were made using high quality branded parts.

Performance:
- Dual cone intake with Selin electronic translator (allows the ECU to properly read two MAF input signals) - $0.5k
- Stillen charge pipes
- Upsized aluminum Z1 intercoolers - $0.5k
- New 740cc Nismo injectors - (injectors were ~$1k; this is an upgrade vs. 370cc stock injectors; replacement is highly recommended since the original injectors were not designed for modern ethanol-blended fuels and fail over time)
- 2.5in B&B polished stainless steel quad exhaust - $1.2k
- 17in Senca wheels (in my view these work better vs. 18in since there is no need to lower the car and ruin the ride quality); The wheels have the perfect offset for the Z (no spacers needed) and were made in Japan by Kosei - $1.2k
- Upgraded ECU
- Stillen anti-sway bars (front and back) - improves handling - $0.4k

Convenience / Appearance
- Upgraded stereo system with new head unit equipped with iPod and Bluetooth (Cell Phone) connectivity; Speakers were upgraded at the same time, but BOSE enclosures were retained, preserving the nice bass balance.
- OEM Japanese-market taillights
- OEM Japanese-market nose panel with the Z logo

The car was never raced or abused. I used it mostly for weekend getaways. It is fast, but manageable and handles nicely - tight and controllable. I have the owners manual, three keys (including the titanium key), a copy of the old title as well as receipts from oil changes showing mileage. In addition, I have receipts for maintenance work / upgrades. I also have a CarFax report showing the history prior to my ownership.

Nissan plans to have 1,700 CHAdeMO chargers by April, 2016

Sun, Jan 25 2015

Grab a bite, charge your Leaf. That's sort of the premise behind quick chargers that provide about 80 percent of single-charge driving range in about a half hour of charging. And Nissan says it's doing its part to expand the number of those stations to please its growing list of constituents. The first 160 quick chargers using the CHAdeMO standard were installed in the US three years ago and that number totals about 800 today. About 300 more will be added by April 1, and by April 1, 2016, the number of quick chargers could reach about 1,700. Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco are among the cities leading the way in quick-charger availability. The Japanese automaker, which started selling the Leaf in the US in late 2010, is doing other things to make it easier for Leaf owners to recharge, whether through quick chargers or standard ones. Last summer, Nissan launched its "No Charge to Charge" program that gives new Leaf buyers free charging at participating public charging stations for two years. A 34-percent jump in Leaf sales, which is what Nissan recorded in the US last year, will do that to a company. For some more specifics of the quick charging contingent, take a look at Nissan's press release below. Fact Sheet: Nissan's commitment to EV quick charging for LEAF drivers Since the launch of the Nissan LEAF in late 2010, Nissan has reinforced its commitment to zero emission mobility with investments in EV charging infrastructure to serve the needs of LEAF drivers in markets across the U.S. Nissan has a multi-pronged strategy to invest with charging partners to install quick charging for owners in the communities where they live and work, as well as at corporate workplaces and Nissan dealerships. Timeline of (CHAdeMO) quick charging rollout: - January 2013: Approximately 160 CHAdeMO chargers installed nationwide. - January 2015: More than 800 total U.S. quick chargers installed and active. - April 1, 2015: 1,100 quick chargers expected nationwide. - April 1, 2016: 1,700 quick chargers projected. "Access to quick chargers that can provide about 80 percent charge to a Nissan LEAF battery in less than 30 minutes has proved to increase our owner satisfaction and get more buyers to consider the benefits of an all-electric car," said Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure Deployment.

Nissan ZEOD RC on track and from behind the wheel

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

The Nissan ZEOD RC hybrid racecar has had mixed success in its competition life. It was invented to do a completely electric, high-speed lap at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which it was able to do in practice. However, when the big event actually came, the car lasted less than an hour before it had to bow out with transmission issues. Nissan hasn't completely given up on its experiment, though. The experience (and possibly some of the tech) is going to help with the GT-R LM racer next year, and now the ZEOD is getting its chance to see how it handles the Top Gear test track.
Unfortunately, it's not The Stig piloting the ZEOD; instead, the magazine's motoring editor Ollie Marriage is the lucky man for the job. The car's sharp shape seems to be a good metaphor for how it handles because it just seems to dart around the track. Its tiny, turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with 400 horsepower and two electric motors put out a claimed 750 horsepower, and that seems like plenty for the relatively short Top Gear course.
As usual of Top Gear, the cinematography here is fantastic, and a second video shows off a single lap of the course from around the car. It's amazing to watch, especially with its big screen constantly showing the camera view out of the rear. Scroll down to see both.
