Up for sale is my beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 automatic. This is a wonderful car that is a blast to drive and gets looks everywhere I go. I hate to sell it but a new pair of twins in my life means that priorities have to change.

A brief history of the car: The car was purchased from the original owner in 1998 from my Wife’s uncle. He passed it down to my brother in-law in 2005. Unfortunately my wife’s uncle did not take very good care of the car’s engine which forced my brother in-law to correct a few issues. He decided to replace the engine with a JDM spec motor in an attempt to have two engines to work with if needed. At the same time the car would be gone through and anything that needed attention would be addressed. My brother in-law owned a custom car shop at the time and all of the work was performed professionally in his shop. At the time of the engine swap the car had just over 90K miles. In the summer of 2006 the engine was replaced with an engine pulled from the front clip of a similar year JDM Fairlady Z. The JDM motor had approximately 50-60K miles on it. During the swap the new engine received a complete major tune-up along with several major service items. Below is a list of all items and services performed during the engine swap:

50-60K miles JDM NA engine swap
Timing belt replacement
Cam shaft oil seal replacement
new water pump
new power steering pump and pressure hose
PVC valve
new platinum spark plugs
new plug wires
6 new fuel injectors
new motor mounts
new exhaust header installed

After the engine swap the plan for the car was to turn the car into a period correct 90s custom. The following parts were also installed on the car:

Set of staggered width IMPUL RS 16” wheels with new tires
Full Tokico HP Blue Shock/Strut replacement
Eibach Pro Kit suspension springs
Complete Energy Suspension bushing set
Greddy SP2 stainless cat back exhaust system
Custom intake kit
OBX stainless steel headers
Drilled and Slotted rotors with carbon ceramic performance brake pads

In addition to the performance parts several other items have also been addressed:

New weather strip around windows
new floor mats
New CD/MP3 player with 4 new speakers
recharged A/C system (blows ice cold)

As of 10/2013 the car now also has a completely rebuilt transmission. The tranny was the last item on the powertrain that needed addressed when my brother in-law had the car and it went out last month. I had a transmission specialist completely rebuild the tranny (new clutch pack, gears, everything) to the tune of $2500. The car now runs, sounds, and drives amazing.

With all of the powertrain and chassis items sorted out the only thing left is the body which unfortunately I cannot afford to update right now. The body is in really good condition as is but a paint job would make the car absolutely perfect. There a few small dings here and there and the front bumper has a few scuffs. The paint is original and shows pretty good for a 20+ year old car. As you can see from the pictures the car looks great and can certainly be driven as is. The interior is also in great shape. Everything except for the radio is original and again shows really well for the age. All gauges, A/C, lights, power windows, and locks work as they should.

I tried to cover everything I can think of about the car. My family has babied this car over the years and it shows. All it needs now is a new owner to enjoy this awesome sports car.

Recharge Wrap-up: No Tesla Gigafactory deal with California, BMW i3 recalled

Thu, Sep 4 2014

Before the Nevada announcement was hinted at, a deal to incentivize a Tesla Gigafactory in California fell through. Tesla was looking for around $500 million in incentives, which the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development was willing to offer in tax breaks along with making the permit and environmental processes easier. According to Senator Ted Gaines, there still remained "a gap between what Tesla wanted and what California was willing to offer," the contents of which were undisclosed. California could still be chosen for another of Tesla's battery plants, should those ever materialize. Read more at The Desert Sun. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will consider allowing a bit of compliance flexibility to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations for some automakers. CARB will hold a hearing to discuss giving intermediate volume manufacturers (IVMs) - carmakers that do between 4,501 and 60,000 new vehicle sales in the state - some leniency catching up to the larger manufacturers when it comes to clean vehicle production. The ZEV regulation changes take into account the amount of revenue IVMs have available for developing the cars, particularly plug-in hybrids. Read more at Green Car Congress or see the notice from CARB here. Certain units of the BMW i3 are subject to an airbag recall. For cars built March 31, 2014, the passenger airbag inflator may have been assembled incorrectly, which could keep it from deploying when needed. Owners will be notified by BMW, and the problem will be fixed for free. The recall also affects certain 2014 Mini Cooper models. Learn more at the NHTSA website. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is providing 200 electric vehicles to telecommunications company Orange in France. The cars, which will include the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, Renault ZOE and Renault Kangoo ZE, will be used mostly for carsharing. Through the program, Orange employees can book a car for work or personal travel using a smartphone. The Alliance will also help Orange install charging stations for the new cars. The addition of the EVs to the fleet will help Orange achieve its goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 20 percent by 2020. Read more in the press release, below. Jianghuai Automobile Company (JAC) is delivering its first 100 EVs to the US. The shipment is part of a larger order of 2,000 cars to be sold by GreenTech Automotive in the US market.

Thanks to a year of free charges, Nissan Leaf sees sales increase in Texas

Mon, Mar 10 2014

Nissan is pretty certain that free charging offers in the two largest metropolitan areas in Texas are substantially boosting sales of the Leaf electric vehicle. Heck, one Houston car dealer says Leaf sales have tripled because of the plan, which is run by NRG through its batch of eVgo Freedom Stations. Each of these stations has a fast-charging outlet and a standard Level 2 cord where EV drivers can plug-in without breaking out the wallet. Here's how the plan works: NRG is offering a year of free charging for those who buy or lease a Leaf in either the Houston or Dallas-Fort Worth areas. NRG has 17 stations in Houston and another 23 in DFW. Nissan pays NRG a fee for employing the program, and it's apparently paying off, Nissan's Brendan Jones told Plug In Cars. The stations are located at retailers such as Walgreens and at gas-station chains. The "No Charge to Charge" program started October 1 and runs through the end of this month. The promotion may be driving sales, but let's remember that Nissan was touting a rise in Leaf sales numbers before the free charging deal went into effect. Of course, the fun does eventually end, and folks have to start paying for the juice after that first year. Two options NRG offers are a 12-month unlimited charging plan for $39.95 a month or a year of unlimited one-hour sessions at a Level 2 a cool $59.95. Californians, there's sadly no word on Nissan or NRG bringing a similar program to the Golden State. Because we know you were wondering that.
