NEW INFO:

The car has been "SMOGGED" (California buyers) and I have all the necessary paperwork.  Additionally, I recently had the Z dyno tuned at Driven Authority (Dyno chart is available).  It was upgraded to a Nis-Tune program (used to be Jim Wolf program), and conservatively tuned.  
   

I have owned this amazing car for over 15 years.  In fact, part of my personal identity is attached to this Z, and I will be greatly saddened when it is no longer nestled snuggly in my garage.  However, life is unpredictable, and for personal reasons, I am posting it for sale.  A rough estimate on money spent boggles the mind...somewhere between $50K -$60K (all in over 15+ years).  Make no mistake, this is one of the cleanest, most tastefully modded Twin Turbo's you will ever see.  The car is scary fast and should not be purchased by a novice driver.  It handles incredibly and will rip your face off under braking.  I drive the car appx. 500 miles per year (if that), approximately 5K miles put on the new motor since it was fully built and installed.  When I do drive it, it performs flawlessly, and the perspective buyer should have peace of mind that it will do the same for them (assuming they don't abuse/neglect it).  I have provided a comprehensive list of modifications and I will be available to answer any/all questions.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to view the Z, or you have additional questions or concerns, I can be reached via cell @(916)934-9222.  Best Regards, -Josh

Nissan's Le Mans-bound ZEOD RC electric racecar nearing completion [w/video]

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Nissan is working away on its ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car) which is still on pace for a Le Mans arrival in 2014. As of right now, the DeltaWing-shaped car's carbon-fiber tub and chassis have been completed. The next step will be installing the twin electric motors and fitting the seat of driver and GT Academy winner Lucas Ordóñez. If the current schedule sticks, the zero-emissions racer will hit a UK track for test laps in September.
But while those initial shakedown laps will be under full electric power, it's unclear whether the setup fielded in the UK will survive until Le Mans. Nissan itself says that it will be testing a number of "electrified" drivetrains ahead of the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is a significant departure from race car design - usually, the teams know what's powering their car before they start building it.
"Just developing a single powertrain option in only 12 months would be a mammoth task but we're looking to carefully examine a number of options to ascertain which will be best suited for Le Mans," said Darren Cox, Nissan's global motorsport director. Take a look below for a video and press release from Nissan documenting the ZEOD RC's build process.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
