I have a 1986 Nissan 300zx for sale. 5 speed manual transmission. It is *not* turbo. It has T-tops. It is 2x2 (has the small back seat).
It runs and drives well, but needs some love.

Work it needs:
Front strut mounts need replaced (struts on all 4 wheels are new).
It misses on a cylinder intermittently, haven't been able to track it down (Plugs and wires are new-ish).
Brakes squeak to high heaven (new rotors and shoes, but the squeak is back).
Tends to pop out of 5th gear when coasting.
Some interesting electrical glitches and associated ghetto fixes by the previous owner.
Coolant leak (haven't been able to track down the source, too cramped under the hood. Pumped it full of StopLeak and it seems to do well for now).
Needs interior and exterior cosmetics - needs some upholstery etc. fixed up and a paint job.

This was my daily commuter, inherited from my dad as his daily commuter, for a couple years. When I replaced the struts and found my mounts were also bad (*after* getting them all assembled and installed) and then couldn't track down the coolant leak, I just decided it was time for a new car. Couldn't get enough trade-in out of it, so it's up for sale. I'd recommend replacing the strut mounts early on, but after that just keep an eye on the coolant and it'll be great to drive.

This would make a great project car for someone who enjoys working on cars more than I do. It'd be an excellent candidate for restoration. Depending on your parenting style, it'd also make a great "first car".

I'd like to get $2,000 out of it, but I need to get it moved and I don't have time to be picky, so make me an offer I can't refuse.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

Meet Sparky, Nissan's Leaf-based, Frontier-bedded EV parts hauler [w/video]

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

For many enthusiasts, the concept of the ute - a car with a pickup bed - is somehow irresistibly appealing. On paper, it promises the marriage of a truck's utility and a car's superior driving dynamics, and for that reason alone, we'd love to see more of them. Yet while other parts of the world get them in good numbers, North America doesn't ever see them - at least not for long. Based on what we've seen of late, though, that's not due to a lack of motivation on the part of engineers.
BMW wowed us several years ago with an M3 ute, and earlier this year, some interns converted a Mini Paceman into the pickup-bodied Paceman Adventure. Loathe to let their rivals in Munich and Oxford have all the fun, Nissan has built its very own car-based pickup. Meet Sparky, the world's first Leaf Frontier.
Like the M3, this all-electric ute is used as a parts hauler for Nissan's engineering teams at its sprawling Stanfield, AZ tech center and proving grounds.

2014 Nissan Dayz Roox is the littlest high-roof van you ever did see

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Even average production cars from Japan often seem very conceptual to US eyes. Throw in typical, nonsensical-quasi-English-words name like "Dayz Roox" and you'd be forgiven for thinking this Nissan box on wheels was still a designer's dream. But the fact is that the Nissan Dayz is a model currently on sale, and this Roox version is the latest take on the micro-van, which is a popular segment in Japan.
In fact, this generation of Dayz is the first minicar that Nissan has developed completely in-house, and the thing has been selling astoundingly well in its first stint on the market (30k units in month one month, says Nissan). So it's unsurprising that the company is looking to expand the range with a model that is more fully featured.
The Roox (we have no clue as to where that name came from, or what it means) would appear to be a high-roof version of the three-cylinder Dayz minicar - in fact Nissan goes so far as to call it an "Impressive Super Height Wagon." Features like automatic sliding doors, Around View Monitor and UV-insulated glass are all luxuries in kei-class car. The press release also specifies that the Roox is tall enough to swallow a 27-inch bicycle.
