1986 Nissan 300ZX-

This is a very nice car that belongs to a good friend of one of our clients. He has owned it for over 10 years, has recently retired and is making some adjustments in his life. One of those adjustments necessitates selling his well preserved 300ZX. 

We recently replaced the driveshaft with a new unit including new U-joints. We also replaced the valve cover gaskets and oil sending unit. We gave the car a good look over and couldn't find anything else serious that it needs. On the test drive we did find that the front struts are bouncy but that's it. The car drives smoothly, doesn't pull left or right and brakes evenly. The clutch engages exactly where you would expect and the engine revs freely without any strange noises or fuss. It has excellent power. The Air Conditioning works very well too. The engine does not smoke and there are no unusual noises. Following is a link to a great place to buy new KYB front struts for $32.79 each:

This car has Michelin tires with a lot of tread and the lack of any vibration when driving belies the quality Michelin continues to deliver with their tires. All the glass is in good condition, the windows roll up and down as they should. The T-tops are excellent too. All doors, releases and latches work as they should. All interior and exterior lights work and the headlamps raise and lower properly.

While the car is quite presentable as it sits, there are some simple things you could do yourself to really make the most of her. The driver's door panel has some small cuts at the top (see pictures) but those panels are available used here on Ebay for not much money. The rear carpeting is faded and could stand to be replaced and the steering wheel is showing a little age, another easy fix. Lastly, the car has been resprayed on the RF fender and right door at some point in the past due, apparently to some past parking lot shunt (There are no signs of damage to any inner structures.), so it could stand being re-done as the paint used must not have been up to Nissan standards. While that is being done, I would have the  fronts of the side view mirrors resprayed as well. The current owner is afraid that if he did these simple repairs, he might not be willing to part with her, so these things will be left to the lucky winning bidder.

Except for the very sparse surface rust present in a couple of places, there is no rust through and the car is extremely solid. Here is a link to a Photo Bucket album that shows many more pictures including some of her underside:

The front seats are excellent. The cushioning is ample, they are multi-adjustable and the upholstery has no tears or rips. The dash has no cracks, all the gauges work and give positive feedback (Temperature runs normal and excellent oil pressure) and all the other interior panels are great.

I wouldn't hesitate to get in this car and drive it to California, its that good. Thank you for looking at this auction! Please let me know if you have any further questions or require any specific pictures.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.

2013 Nissan Juke Nismo

Tue, 07 May 2013

Scratching All The Right Itches
Say what you will about the unconventional aesthetics that Nissan employed on the company's Juke. I love the thing. The universe has no shortage of ambiguously styled CUVs, and while I can't exactly say I would have turned to the amphibian world for design inspiration had it been me with the charcoal in my hand, I can certainly appreciate the fact that the Juke isn't just another box-on-box design.
And then there's that engine. The turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder under the hood is one of the best powerplants in the company's toy box, offering plenty of low-range torque and comical levels of thrust. Hell, it even makes the optional continuously variable transmission tolerable. Praise be to the deities of forced induction. But something has always been missing from the mix. From the first moment I got my hands on the Juke, I couldn't help but think how much better the machine would be if Nissan ditched an inch or two of ground clearance and sharpened up its suspension. Think more "hot hatch" and less "Kermit goes to Kroger."

Nissan commits to adding 'iconic' design after Cube killed off

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

The Nissan Cube is on its way out here in the US and Canada. In a way, that's too bad, simply because the Cube's styling was nothing if not distinctive - much like the company's own Juke. However, the flame for uniquely styled models is indeed still burning over at Nissan.
We might never see an exact replacement for the Cube in the brand's lineup, but product planning boss Andy Palmer says that its retirement leaves a spot open in the Nissan lineup for something else. "To be clear, we will morph this space in our portfolio into something iconic," said Palmer to Automotive News. Unfortunately, he wouldn't hint at what that could mean.
However, his lack of suggestions makes it fun to speculate about what oddity could replace the Cube, especially since two of Nissan's more recent quirky concepts might have problems hitting the road. The Bladeglider is mired in Nissan and Deltawing Technologies' ongoing patent lawsuit. Alternatively, the retro-inspired IDx might be too expensive to build profitably. Still, this is the company that created both the (nearly dead) Murano CrossCabriolet and the very successful Juke; it can probably come up with something else delightfully weird.
