FEATURES 
  • This 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4 is the top of the line trim for its model year, originally retailing at approximately $34,000 back when she was new! She still runs absolutely beautifully and will be a great car for your city errands or big mountain adventures. I'll be sad to part ways with her, but just bought a new car and certainly don't need two cars. 
  • 240 hp V6, 265 ft-lbs torque. She loves charging up big, steep mountain passes at highway speeds, and doesn't even break a sweat doing so. Excellent power. One of my favorite features of the car.
  • V6, DOHC engine
  • MPG 14 city, 18-19 highway, 16-17 mixed use
  • Front seat power options have 6-way adjustments, including height adjustable, and also manual lumbar support for the driver's side - very comfortable for long drives
  • Luxurious simulated wood trim on dash
  • Seats 5, rear seats fold down for expanded cargo space. Large middle armrest available when only 2 passengers are in the rear seats. Rear cupholders. 
  • Selling at a great price as I just want a no-hassle, quick purchase for this vehicle. The asking price reflects ALL noted wear & tear, as a top asking price for this car is in the $4500-5000 range, and this car has been listed recently at CarMax for more than $5,000! 

CONDITION
  • Full service records available
  • Scheduled maintenance completed at all recommended intervals, including at 120K miles
  • Fresh oil change, done in August 2013, less than 1,000 miles ago
  • Tires in excellent condition, premium Michelin light truck/SUV LTX mud/snow all-season tires, have 20,000 miles on them (warrantied for 70,000 miles). Will throw in $120 tire chains for FREE, only used once!
  • New battery in June 2013
  • New front and rear windshield wipers (hey, it's the little details that count)
  • New front rotors & front brake pads in July 2013, rear brakes were reported to be in good condition at the time
  • Just passed smog in August 2013, detailed test results and smog certificate available
  • Clean registration and clear title

WEAR & TEAR
Big Blue is 12 years ago, so will naturally have some normal wear & tear. The asking price reflects all the wear & tear and is an excellent deal for the buyer in the market for a vehicle of this maturity level.
  • No major accidents. Only one minor incident, brushed up against a parking garage pole at 3 MPH, which required front bumper/fender repair, but no structural damage.
  • Paint is fading on the rear driver's side bumper, a bit rusty by the driver's side mirror & on top of the moonroof in minor spots.
  • Driver's seat is torn, could be stitched back together or easily covered up with a cloth seat cover if desired
  • Check engine light comes on at times, I've been advised that the catalytic converter isn't performing fully up-to-specs, but it does not affect the day-to-day performance of the car. Despite this issue, Big Blue still passed smog in August 2013, so if/when you want to repair this, is up to you. She still runs at the advertised MPG, and is not due for another smog inspection for two more years, so no any immediate repair need.
  • CD player doesn't work, doesn't matter to me since I just plug in a FM transmitter to create an AUX input and play music via a iPhone/MP3 player anyway.
  • Clock doesn't work anymore, guess maybe a bulb or fuse burned out but if you know how to replace it, knock yourself out.
  • Remote key fob needs to be reprogrammed, could be programmed yourself if you know how to do it. Otherwise just use the key for manual entry.

Nissan ZEOD RC on track and from behind the wheel

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

The Nissan ZEOD RC hybrid racecar has had mixed success in its competition life. It was invented to do a completely electric, high-speed lap at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which it was able to do in practice. However, when the big event actually came, the car lasted less than an hour before it had to bow out with transmission issues. Nissan hasn't completely given up on its experiment, though. The experience (and possibly some of the tech) is going to help with the GT-R LM racer next year, and now the ZEOD is getting its chance to see how it handles the Top Gear test track.
Unfortunately, it's not The Stig piloting the ZEOD; instead, the magazine's motoring editor Ollie Marriage is the lucky man for the job. The car's sharp shape seems to be a good metaphor for how it handles because it just seems to dart around the track. Its tiny, turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with 400 horsepower and two electric motors put out a claimed 750 horsepower, and that seems like plenty for the relatively short Top Gear course.
As usual of Top Gear, the cinematography here is fantastic, and a second video shows off a single lap of the course from around the car. It's amazing to watch, especially with its big screen constantly showing the camera view out of the rear. Scroll down to see both.

Nissan recalls 226k vehicles over airbag inflators

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Nissan and Infiniti are the latest automakers to issue recalls involving faulty airbag inflators from Takata. The Japanese automakers have announced campaigns covering about 226,326 units from seven models built in the early 2000s because they contain the bad part in the passenger-side, front airbag. The affected vehicles include the 2002-2004 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2003 Pathfinder and 2002-2003 Maxima, and it also covers the 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4, 2002-2003 I35, 2003 FX45 and 2003 FX35.
Like the other vehicles with the faulty inflators, it's possible for the part to rupture during airbag deployment and spray metal shrapnel at occupants. Nissan and Infiniti have even included vehicles with replacement airbags in this campaign because those parts also could have been defective. Both companies were also part of the earlier regional campaign to fix cars in high-humidity climates where the problem has been found to be the worst.
As is the usual response, Nissan and Infiniti will notify owners of the affected vehicles and will make the repair at no charge. According to the filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these fixes will commence around August 11.

This tiny 1.5L engine from Nissan makes 400 horsepower

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Back in 2012, Ford packed its tiny 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder in a carry-on suitcase, destined for use in the Fiesta here in the US. In June, Nissan will pack its tiny new three-cylinder engine in a 24 Hours of Le Mans racecar. Nissan's don't-call-me-DeltaWing ZEOD RC racecar will still be able to tackle a single lap under full electric power, but the rest of the time it will be powered by the new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Holding the lightweight engine (at right) is Nismo president Shoichi Miyatani, and he's likely smiling because that 40-kilogram (88-pound) engine packs quite a punch with 400 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Nissan would like to take a moment to point out this engine's power-to-weight is better than the engines currently used in Formula One racecars. Scroll down for more information on this new race engine, which we'll see in action at Le Mans in June.
