Up for auction is my 300zx Twin Turbo. Car is in great condition mechanically, needs a little bit of cosmetic work. 

Car has had the following work done (fully documented with receipts): 

2014: 
- Brake fluid flush
- AC system repair (had custom compressor fan installed at AAA mechanic Aguirre Auto as no one manufactures the OEM units)

2013: 
- Replaced Battery (car had been sitting)
- Performed throttle body coolant bypass (Intake manifold cleaned, new intake manifold gasket)
- Replaced passenger side valve cover gasket
- Fuel filter replaced
- Fuel system cleaned
- Diagnosed check engine light to be due to rich condition (likely due to either bad o2 sensors, fuel delivery or aftermarket exhaust)

2012 (previous owner): 
- Replaced Battery
Work done at Jack Key Nissan (Las Cruces, NM): 
- Replaced Alternator
- Replaced all six injectors with new gaskets
- Replaced EGR gaskets
- Misc. Vacuum tubes replaced
- Knock sensor replaced
- EGR sensor replaced
- Timing Belt replaced
- Tension belt replaced
- Water pump replaced
- Thermostat replaced
- Misc. Coolant hoses replaced

2008 (previous owner): 
Replaced block with JDM import, swap done by AAA mechanic (Aguirre Auto Las Cruces NM) with following items replaced on JDM block:
- Timing Belt
- Rear Main Seal
- Front Crank Seal
- Injector Seals
- Water Pump
- Spark Plugs
- Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set
- Valve Cover Gasket Set
- Thermostat

- Injector (1)
- Injector Seal Kit (1)
- New Battery

2007 (previous owner): 
- New radiator

2006 (previous owner): 
- Replaced head light switch & fixed fuse block

For the bad: 
- Car has been sitting for several months. Starts up right away, but idles a bit rough until warm. Driven the car on 100+ mile daily commutes to work here and there, but the car REALLY needs to be driven consistently to get her back on her feet. 
- Car has a HICAS leak (not surprising if you've owned one before)
- Check Engine Light is on (read description).   
- Needs some minor bodywork (see pics).
- Could use shocks/springs. 
- Could use tires. 

Car has been kept as close to OEM as possible. The only exceptions are the aftermarket stereo (nothing fancy; in fact the OEM radio is probably better at this point) and the intake system (previous owner installed an intake kit). 

Price reflects the need for some tune-up work, and potential body work. KBB rough private party is ~$5,900.  Priced $5,500 as I need her gone. 

Any questions, drop me a line.

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.

Nissan shows self-cleaning car coated in nano paint

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

Washing the car is an activity like mowing the lawn that some people love and others find to be an absolute chore. For the latter group, Nissan may have an answer. Nissan is testing a nano-paint coating that could make the car wash a very infrequent place to visit.
Shown on a European Note hatchback, the key is a special layer of super-hydrophobic and oleophobic material called Ultra-Ever Dry that is sprayed over the paint. It creates a protective layer between the body and environment, and it means that when dirt or water come into contact with the car, the gunk just sheets away.
Nissan admits that the coating is still early in testing. The key will be if the stuff can actually last for the long term, and the company will be analyzing it over the coming months to see how it will react in different conditions. At the moment, the automaker has no plans to offer Ultra-Ever Dry as a standard feature, but it may make it available as an aftermarket addition in the future. Scroll down to watch the video of Nissan testing the stuff in some very dirty conditions.
