Pioneer 7" double din touch screen 
19"x9.5", 19"x8.5" Ruff Racing wheels
New brake pads
New rotors

 
The car runs and drives like a champ.  The last recorded RHWP/RWTQ readings from the previous owner were ~ 495/418 on 92 octane pump fuel. 
 
The car does need a bit of TLC. Specifically: 

  1. Headlights were incorrectly wired: they only work when set to bright. 
  2. Headlights are not properly sealed (typical chinese MFG). 
  3. Front bumper was damaged when previous owner attempted to pass over a speedbump. I have a replacement bumper that I will give to the buyer. 
  4. Body and interior could use some TLC.  There are a few sunspots (very hard to see, but still present), seats need new leather, a few interior trim pieces are missing, headliner is a little dirty. 
  5. Car needs to be re-tuned at buyer's location.  Car currently has a CEL on due to lower octane fuel at my location (91 vs. 92). 
  6. Horn does not work. 
  7. Oil is leaking from re-routed oil pipes (see pics). The repair is simple. The oil is NOT leaking from any other system
  8. Airbag light is flashing due to car being driven over-limit: system needs to be reset by a Nissan tech. 
  9. A/C system is not working: The A/C unit is not on the drive belt system.  I am not sure if the unit is still operable. Assume that it is not. 

Given the condition of the interior and the RWHP/RWTQ ratings, this car could easily be converted to a track car. I have a set of cheapo racing seats that I purchased for this vehicle (for just such a purpose) that I will give to the buyer if he/she is interested.

Also, you should take note that this car has straight exhaust pipes, and WILL NOT pass an emissions inspection. 

The amount of modifications that this car has undergone is substantial.  KBB for an excellent condition 350z with similar mileage is ~$9k. I have placed the BIN about $2k above that given the value of parts. I am willing to negotiate with any serious buyer. 

Note: the vehicle has a lien-holder. The amount remaining on the loan is ~$7,500.  I will work closely with the buyer and the lien-holder (my local credit union) to ensure a smooth transition. 

If you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them. Contact me.

Nissan gives us the business on the art of clay modeling

Sat, 06 Apr 2013

The team from The Dashboard recently stopped by the Nissan Technical Center in Japan for a look at what exactly goes into creating a full-scale clay model. While automakers have been using clay bucks for decades, designers and engineers are now combining computer renderings and hand-sculpted clay models to determine how a new vehicle will look in our world. Engineers use specially formulated clay kept warm in an oven to bring the body panels to life. They then coat the clay in a thin plastic film to add body color for the final look.
By the time everything is said and done, workers may have hundreds of hours in the model's creation. So, what happens when the company no longer needs the buck? They get scrapped. Someone comes in and dismantles the whole creation. We presume that action is set to the wailing tears of everyone who had a hand in building the model. Check out the video below for a closer look.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.

Watch this Nissan GT-R Nismo attack the 'Ring

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Following yesterday's spy photos of the Nissan GT-R Nismo at the Nürburgring, we've been informed that some intrepid spies have captured video of Super Godzilla lapping the track. We aren't sure which turn the first clip is showing, but the second and third are almost certainly the tough right-hander known as Bergwerk.
Like the current GT-R, the Nismo, even with what might be a new exhaust system, isn't a vehicle that sounds particularly good in a flyby. It's more of just an intense whooshing noise. Take a look at the full video from RSR Nürburgring down below.
