You are looking at my 1986 Nissan 300zx Turbo 5-speed. I am selling because my family is growing "just found out baby on way" and I can no longer enjoy taking this car out for Sunday drives. :( The car will need some cosmetic and minor mechanical work to be truly appreciated, there is some dings and dents, plus a handful of rust spots that I was planning on repairing when I purchased the car but I haven't had time. Since I purchased the Z it has been garaged and only driven on the weekends for fun. It runs fine, a little rough when starting the car "takes a couple keyturns" but it has always started and after its warmed up a tad she is good to go. This is the FULLY decked out version of the 300zx, working digital dash, talking lady that notifies you of lights being on or open doors, 5 piece seats with auto adjustable lumbar support, etc... The transmission is pretty solid, Downshifting into second gear can be tricky but this car has character and takes a couple minutes to learn, I have never had any issue going anywhere at any speed at any time. It leaks a little oil and tranny fluid but nothing to be concerned about just do regular checkups. The oil is very slowly leaking from the passenger side cam seal. I didn't have the tools to replace it when I replaced the timing belt so I left it because it wasn't terrible. The clutch was replaced right before I purchased the car a couple months ago. I replaced the Timing belt, Water pump, Thermostat, there gaskets, it has all new belts as well and a new battery. "The new battery isn't in the car atm its setting on a wood shelf because the battery in the car is fine but the new one will come with the car. Two weeks ago I put brand new tires on the car, Firestone Champion. They were the best all season tire I could buy for a 15" rim at Firestone. The AC is blowing hot air because of a vacuum line. I have the lines that will go with the car I just don't have the time to replace them, replacing the lines will make starting the car a lot faster as well. I have a decent amount of experience working on Z31 engines. Before I had this car I restored and completely rebuilt a non-turbo auto 86 Z31. I am listing mainly negatives here because I don't want to sell this car to someone without informing them of everything I know. As a big fan of the Z cars I would love to see this go to an enthusiast that wants to restore it although it can be a daily driver if needed. I hope I can be of help if you have any questions feel free to message me.

Nissan reviving Pulsar name for Euro market
Mon, 19 May 2014The Nissan Pulsar doesn't have what we'd consider a rich history in the US, other than on some models decades ago. However, the nameplate has been part of the Nissan lineup globally since 1978 and has proven popular in Asia and Australia. Now, the brand is teasing a five-door hatch to revive the name and hit European showrooms this fall.
The new Pulsar will be built at the company's recently renovated factory in Barcelona, Spain. It's not clear from the teaser whether this is the same model that is already sold in other parts of the world or a brand new vehicle. Although, Nissan says in the announcement that the car "has been designed to meet the specific demands of European car buyers."
With competitors like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, the European five-door hatch market is seriously competitive. It will be interesting to see if Nissan will have something special to bring to the table. Scroll down to read Nissan's full teaser about its latest hatchback in Europe.
Nissan reveals NP300 Navara pickup, is it the next Frontier? [w/videos] [UPDATE]
Wed, 11 Jun 2014UPDATE: Statement from Nissan added, below.
After plenty of teasing, Nissan has finally revealed the NP300 Navara pickup, previewing America's next Frontier. Now, before we dive into all the info on this new midsize pickup, it's important to note that we don't quite have the official details on the American-spec truck, so there's quite a bit of information here that might not carry through to the North American market.
Depending on the market, the Navara will offer either a four-cylinder diesel or a four-cylinder gas engine, both of which displace 2.5 liters. Nissan claims both engines have been improved, with the oil-burner producing 188 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. There aren't specific figures on the gas engine, although we should expect that it will see a nice bump from the current Frontier's four-cylinder, which offers up 152 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. It's not clear if a V6 will be available in the US, as there's no mention of it in the Navara's literature.
Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn adds class to the grass
Sun, 17 Aug 2014While Pebble Beach is traditionally thought of as the refuge of the pristine and pricey vintage vehicles of the world, there's no shortage of newer vehicles on display. And when we say "new," we mean really new. As in, not even in production new. This is the concept car lawn, and it's home to an eclectic group of vehicles from past and present.
Of course, calling it the "concept car lawn" is a bit of a misnomer this year (as it has been in previous years, too). Production models like the Alfa Romeo 4C were on display, alongside known quantities like the Hennessy Venom GT and modified versions of already-on-sale models, like the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Waterspeed Collection.
There were a few concepts on display, though. Toyota debuted the critically acclaimed FT-1 Concept in a new shade, while BMW's Beijing Motor Show stunner, the Vision Future Luxury, was also parked on the expensive grass. Also appearing were the Nissan GT-R in sheep's clothing, the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge, and the recently debuted McLaren P1 GTR.
