$8,000 Rims and New Tires:

     (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 275/35 ZR 19 tires and (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 245/35 ZR 19 tires.

The car has some normal wear and tear, considering it is 11 years old. There are a few scratches on the exterior, a small dent on the passenger side (see picture), and a dent on one of the rims (Wheels Of America will fix for $150). Everything is cosmetic and can be fixed quickly.  

I bought this from the second owner, who lives in Pennsylvania.  Despite the dent in the rim, the car had no problem with the 700 mile drive home.  The tires maintained air pressure and the ride was smooth.  I purchased this car because I was looking for a fast, fun car to drive on the weekends.  This car appealed to me because of all the extras it had. It is packed with tons of horse power and the stereo system is awesome!  It is a total thrill to drive!  Even though I have a family and kids, I thought it would work.  Well, it didn't.  I found myself watching it sit in the garage or sneaking out for a very quick ride. (not that I minded, but the family wasn't too thrilled)

I recently put a new ACT Extreme street clutch in the car because I didn't like the feel of the old one. I chose the ACT because it was built for horse power and yet offered a smooth stock feel. It's a great clutch and offers great street ability. 

The 350Z's are known to have problems with the window regulators, so I replaced both window regulators in the Fall 2013. 

The rims each are $2,000 (new) SSR GT3 special edition first run rims that are ALL CHROME. The rims could be refinished to make them look new again and the dent in the driver's front could be fixed. I took the rims to Wheels of America and was told it would cost about $150 per tire to refinish and fix the dent.  I thought that was extremely reasonable considering the cost of new rims.  

The interior is in great condition. No tears, rips or stains. The car has grey seats and black carpet. Very clean too!

The car is mechanically sound and everything works. She runs great! Has tons of muscle. Handles great! I hate to sell her but I have to stick with a 4-seater. Anyone looking for speed and power need look no further.  This car has it all!  

The engines in these cars were designed to run more than 200,000 miles. The problem that people run into with boosted Z's is that they over boost the motor.  The weakness of the motor is due to the connecting rods and the pistons (high compression). This in combo with high boosts, causes the motor to fail. To truly turn this car into a 500 horsepower monster, one would only have to change out the connecting rods and the pistons, thus lowering the compression of the motor.  Then one could safely boost into the teens. Everything else has already been done.  The boost on this low-mileage motor has been set at only 6 PSI to ensure long motor durability.  

The reserve for this car is extremely low because it has to go because I've already purchased that god-awful 4-seater!

If you live in the area, feel free to come by and inspect it before the auction ends.

US-built Infiniti Q50 engines to go into Euro-only cars

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Back in March, Infiniti announced that it would be adding a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder to its Q50 line for European and Chinese buyers. Now, we know where that engine will be built.
Nissan's Decherd, TN facility will receive the $319-million investment, which will see a separate, dedicated line for the Infiniti engines. According to Automotive News, this is more than a line running alongside the Nissan operations - the Infiniti facility will sport its own unique architecture and interior lighting, in a bid to distinguish the premium line from its mass-market parent company.
The logistics of all this do seem, on the surface, quite screwy. Building a new engine on one continent for a car built on another that will eventually go on sale on a third doesn't seem too bright, although there is a catch here. The new engine will also find its way into the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which will kick off production in Vance, AL later this year.

Nissan Leaf Nismo RC Concept [w/video]

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Nissan took the wraps off its Leaf Nismo RC Concept at the New York Auto Show more than two years ago. As inferred, the vehicle shares many of its pure-EV components with the production Leaf currently sitting in your dealer's showroom. But don't assume the concept is a placid, family friendly, four-place, front-wheel-drive plug-in for grabbing groceries - the RC (as in "Racing Challenge") is a purpose-built, two-seat, rear-wheel-drive prototype race car tuned for the short track.
The RC Concept is fitted with an 80-kW AC synchronous motor driving the rear wheels and drawing power from a 48-module lithium-ion battery. While the motor and battery are nearly identical to the consumer-friendly Leaf, a sleek full carbon-fiber monocoque body shell and a slew of other enhancements mean the RC is 40-percent lighter, a foot shorter in overall height and nearly seven inches wider than its commuter namesake. Nissan says the RC Concept will hit 62 miles per hour in about 6.8 seconds, top out at 93 mph and run for about 20 minutes under race conditions (it will accept an 80-percent charge in 30 minutes with a quick-charger). Understandably, if a zero-emissions motorsport series comes to fruition, the races would be short and nearly silent.
We caught up with the Leaf Nismo RC concept in Southern California, where we were offered the opportunity to zip it around a tight autocross at the former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro.

2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street

Fri, 24 May 2013


Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.
