Rocker arm plate stopper. 2 new rockers and shims. Head was sent out to San
Diego california to HGMS for over haul where it was tanked, intake side ported
and exhaust side polished. Block was tanked and honed with cp pistons 86mm 9:1

relocated and boxed. Bride steering wheel. New door seals and glass rubber backing.
New passenger side window motor. Sony radio. Body is original red. Has dings and dents but paint still shines. Was scraped
on the passenger side but it was repair 5 years ago. Minor scrape when another
vehicle pulled into the next parking spot. When I finished the build I broke in the engine for the 30 min run time.
After that I took it easy for the first week. I inspected the oil and it came
out clean no issues no junk. Somewhere about a good 50 miles into driving, the car began
smoking oil out the back. I freaked out and thought something went in the
engine. I found out after going through a cylinder compression test and taking
apart the head that Tomei sent me a faulty turbo. The main seal let loose and
was dumping oil to the exhaust. I sent it back and waited for warranty. From
there the car sat again till May. I bought a house and had to move the car. I
installed the stock turbo and sent out the ECU to Jim Wolf to get the car to
run on the maf and big cam. Amazingly the guys at Jwolf made it run. Car idles,
fires up on the first try, and pulls good. Finally in August-September Tomei
sent me a brand new 8270 arms turbo kit. I never installed it. It sits sealed in
the box and will be included. I did however sell the AEM EMS 2 and the Injector
Dynamics 1000cc injectors. Now for the bad: The stock turbo likes to smoke a little oil after a long idle time. But I have not seen the oil level go down any. I disconnected the e-brake cable because the line kept popping out of the
backing plate. I did however buy a brand new rear 300zx brake kit with lines
and I will include it. (Backing plates, rotors, pads, calipers, lines, shoes).
Ill also throw in some 5 lugs spindles for the rear. Windshield cracked in the passenger side bottom corner but it is not visible.
The body is an 1989. It has some dings and scratches but the car is clean
and shines. I loved it since I could remember. I wish I could keep her but with
many toys and two kids and a house the car sits there and doesn’t move. I’ve
dumped tons of money into it and hope the next person will take care of it and
enjoy it. Thanks for looking, happy bidding, and if you have any questions
please let me know. |

Nissan could report first quarterly loss since March 2009
Wed, Feb 12 2020TOKYO — Nissan may report its first quarterly loss in more than a decade on Thursday because of slumping sales, sources familiar with the company said, adding more pressure on efforts to rebuild the company after Carlos Ghosn's ouster. Deteriorating profits underscore the challenges facing Nissan, which is unwinding many of the expansionist strategies championed by ex-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Ghosn by slashing jobs, production sites and product offerings to save cash and ensure its survival. In addition to slumping sales, production disruptions caused by China's coronavirus outbreak could also drag profits lower. Three senior officials at Japan's No. 2 automaker told Reuters that they anticipate a poor results announcement on Thursday, with one of them calling the figures "dismal". Two of the officials cautioned that there is the possibility of an operating loss, which would be the first quarterly loss since the period ending in March 2009. Nissan said it could not comment on its financial results ahead of its official announcement. The company is likely to report operating profit of 48.6 billion yen ($442.5 million) for the quarter ending in December, less than half the 103 billion yen profit a year ago, according to SmartEstimate's survey of three analysts, who revised their forecasts in January. However, those forecasts were issued before the release of the December vehicle sales figures on Jan. 30, which show third-quarter sales dropped by 11% from the year earlier period, according to Reuters calculations. That is the biggest quarterly slump of its current sales downturn that began two years ago. That sales decline led one auto equities analyst based in Japan to scrap his forecast and also warn that Nissan could post a loss. "It will be a question of whether there will be a profit or a loss. For the quarter, a loss is a possibility," he said, declining to be named as his forecast had not been updated to reflect his latest view. One of the three Nissan officials said there is a risk the automaker may cut its full-year profit forecast of 150 billion yen, which would be an 11-year low. The company announced that forecast in November after an initial 230 billion yen outlook.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
Full-size trucks are the best and worst vehicles in America
Thu, Apr 28 2022You don’t need me to tell you that Americans love pickup trucks. And the bigger the truck, the more likely it seems to be seen as an object of desire. Monthly and yearly sales charts are something of a broken record; track one is the Ford F-Series, followed by the Chevy Silverado, RamÂ’s line of haulers, and somewhere not far down the line, the GMC Sierra. The big Japanese players fall in place a bit further below — not that thereÂ’s anything wrong with a hundred thousand Toyota Tundra sales — and one-size-smaller trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado have proven awfully popular, too. Along with their sales numbers, the average cost of new trucks has similarly been on the rise. Now, I donÂ’t pretend to have the right to tell people what they should or shouldnÂ’t buy with their own money. But I just canÂ’t wrap my head around why a growing number of Americans are choosing to spend huge sums of money on super luxurious pickup trucks. Let me first say I do understand the appeal. People like nice things, after all. I know I do. I myself am willing to spend way more than the average American on all sorts of discretionary things, from wine and liquor to cameras and lenses. IÂ’ve even spent my own money on vehicles that I donÂ’t need but want anyway. A certain vintage VW camper van certainly qualifies. I also currently own a big, inefficient SUV with a 454-cubic-inch big block V8. So if your answer to the question IÂ’m posing here is that youÂ’re willing to pay the better part of a hundred grand on a chromed-out and leather-lined pickup simply because you want to, then by all means — not that you need my permission — go buy one. The part I donÂ’t understand is this: Why wouldn't you, as a rational person, rather split your garage in half? On one side would sit a nice car that is quiet, rides and handles equally well and gets above average fuel mileage. Maybe it has a few hundred gasoline-fueled horsepower, or heck, maybe itÂ’s electric. On the other side (or even outside) is parked a decent pickup truck. One that can tow 10,000 pounds, haul something near a ton in the bed, and has all the goodies most Americans want in their cars, like cruise control, power windows and locks, keyless entry, and a decent infotainment screen.
