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.

Nissan recalling 13k Versa Note hatchbacks

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Nissan is recalling 13,000 of its new 2014 Versa Note hatchbacks due to an issue with various bolts used to assemble the vehicle. Considering the Versa Note was only recently put on sale, this news must be driving Nissan nuts (we couldn't resist), but presumably the lion's share of these vehicles are still at dealerships.
According to a report from The Detroit News, there are two separate issues. The first has to do with the latches for the rear seats, which include bolts that may not be strong enough to keep the seats upright in the event of a crash. The second relates to the bolts that attach the body to the undercarriage. Apparently they may not have been tightened properly, and in rare cases may be missing altogether. No injuries or accidents have been reported from either issue.
Owners are being told to report to dealers for the fixes, with notifications coming in mid-August.

Nissan bringing GT-R LM Nismo to Le Mans in 2015 [w/videos]

Fri, 23 May 2014

The Nissan Zeod RC hybrid racecar is certainly cool with its pointy looks, we're excited to see it run, but it isn't built to win races so much as push boundaries. But we might not have too to wait long for one of the Japanese brand's vehicles to claim an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well. The company is announcing the GT-R LM Nismo racecar with a two-car, full factory effort in the top LMP1 class of the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans.
Details about the new racer are almost nonexistent at the moment. The only glimpses that we have are its silhouette under a sheet (above) and the briefest peek at its quad circular taillights in one of the teaser videos. However, the team is making some big promises about the car. "We want to win in a very different way to that of our rivals. We won't be turning up in a vehicle, which is a basically another hybrid that looks like another Porsche, Audi or Toyota - they all look the same to me," said Nissan's Chief Planning Officer and Executive Vice President Andy Palmer in the official announcement. Mechanically, Nissan is revealing even less about the GT-R LM Nismo for now. We are just going to have to wait and find out.
The brand will be aiming for a win in the 24-hour race, but it won't come easy. Nissan will absolutely face stiff competition from the combined forces of Audi, Porsche and Toyota in the top LMP1 class. Scroll down to watch two teaser videos for the newest member of the GT-R family and read the full announcement.

Nissan pulling Facebook ads over hate speech concerns

Fri, 31 May 2013

The system for advertising on Facebook allows companies to target specific demographics with ads that follow people based on their personal information, but as some companies have been finding out lately, this could lead to their ads showing up on questionable pages. According to Automotive News and The New York Times, Nissan has joined a growing list of companies that has pulled its advertising until the social media giant can guarantee that the ads won't appear on offensive pages.
This issue came about as a result of a group calling for Facebook to ban gender-based hate speech that went unchecked on some fan pages. Apparently, some of these offensive pages even showed images of women being abused. We won't post the names of the offensive pages, but you can find some of them listed on the NYT article, though it looks like most of the pages have since been removed. As for Nissan, AN says that the only ads it had at the time were for Nissan UK, and there is no telling how this issue will affect Facebook advertising in the future.
