Up for auction is a 1992 300zx. I've owned the car for about a year. I drove it daily for about 6 months without issue. I have another car I use daily now that I bought before last winter. Overall the car is in average condition. It starts, runs, and drives without issue. Mobil 1 Synthetic oil always. The car paint on the hood and spoiler is faded, I do have 3 cans of plasti-dip black for them that will go with the car, more than enough to do them. Since I've had the car I put on a set of 350z wheels. The tires on the front are in great shape, the rears are starting to wear on the edges, but I do have another pair of the same rear tires that go with it in great shape. The interior is decent, the steering wheel could use a cover or a new wheel, the d/s has a small hole in the side bolster, and some of the suede trim is starting to loosen, pretty common for these cars. The rear end has a little whine to it, but it has since I've had it and never had any issues from it. Fluid is always monitored during oil changes. Timing belt was done by previous owner at 160k. I have a new set of NGK plugs and fuel filter, as well as a few extra Nissan oil filters that go with the car. Trans shifts smooth, has slight grind going into 4th under hard acceleration. The car has T-tops, though I've never taken them out. The one time I took it through an auto wash they never leaked, and they don't leak in any rain I've ever been through with the car either. It has an older Pioneer CD player, the radio part doesn't work but it plays CDs fine.

I have always wanted one of these cars, and it's been fun for the last year, but I am much more into mustangs, it's what I grew up on and raced for years, so that's what I'm looking to get back into. I am open to trades for an 85-86 Mustang GT 5.0 5 speed car. Feel free to ask any questions.

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.

Club to restore amazeballs Datsun Safari Rally Z

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

Thanks to the Nissan Restoration Club, a legendary rally car is coming back to life. At the recent Nissan 360 media event, the Japanese automaker announced that its restoration club is bringing the Safari Rally Z back to original running condition. A variant of the Fairlady Z (or Datsun 240Z in the US), the Safari Rally Z has a fastback coupe body and a 215-horsepower inline-six engine. It won East African Safari Rally championships in both 1971 and 1973. The restoration is scheduled for completion this December.
Formed in 2006, Nissan's Restoration Club is comprised of 60 volunteer members who are passionate about Nissan's historic racecars. The club's past restoration projects include the 1964 Skyline racecar and 1947 Tama electric vehicle. Read the press release below for all the details on the latest restoration, and check out the gallery for photos of the Safari Rally Z as well as the 1972 Fairlady 240Z.

Why Japan's government is looking to curb its adorable kei car market

Tue, Jun 10 2014

Each region around the world has its stereotypical vehicle. The US has the pickup and Europe the five-door hatchback; but in Japan, the kei car reigns supreme. These tiny cars are limited to just 660cc of displacement but they've also come with lower taxes to make them more affordable. To make of the most of their small size, they've often had quite boxy styling like the Honda N-One shown above, and because they're Japanese, they've often had quirky names like the Nissan Dayz Roox. However, if the Japanese government has its way, the future popularity of these little guys might be in jeopardy. The problem facing them is that Japan is an island both literally and figuratively. After World War II, the Japanese government created the class as a way to make car ownership more accessible. The tiny engines generally meant better fuel economy to deal with the nation's expensive gas, and the tax benefits also helped. It's made the segment hugely popular even today, with kei cars making up roughly 40 percent of the nation's new cars sales last year, according to The New York Times. The downside is that these models are almost never exported because they aren't as attractive to buyers elsewhere (if indeed they even meet overseas regulations). So if an automaker ends up with a popular kei model, it can't really market it elsewhere. The government now sees that as a threat to the domestic auto industry. It believes that every yen invested into kei development is wasted, and the production takes up needed capacity at auto factories. The state would much rather automakers create exportable models. To do this, it's trying to make the little cars less attractive to buy, and thus, less attractive to build. The authorities recently increased taxes on kei cars by 50 percent to narrow the difference between standard cars, according to the NYT. If kei cars do lose popularity, it could open the market up to greater competition from foreign automakers. Several companies complained about the little cars stranglehold on the Japanese market last year, but since then, imported car sales there have shown some growth thanks to the improving economy.
