     (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 275/35 ZR 19 tires and (2) New Nankang Ultra Sport II 245/35 ZR 19 tires.

The car has some normal wear and tear, considering it is 11 years old. There are a few scratches on the exterior, a small dent on the passenger side (see picture), and a dent on one of the rims (Wheels Of America will fix for $150). Everything is cosmetic and can be fixed quickly.  

I bought this from the second owner, who lives in Pennsylvania.  Despite the dent in the rim, the car had no problem with the 700 mile drive home.  The tires maintained air pressure and the ride was smooth.  I purchased this car because I was looking for a fast, fun car to drive on the weekends.  This car appealed to me because of all the extras it had. It is packed with tons of horse power and the stereo system is awesome!  It is a total thrill to drive!  Even though I have a family and kids, I thought it would work.  Well, it didn't.  I found myself watching it sit in the garage or sneaking out for a very quick ride. (not that I minded, but the family wasn't too thrilled)

I recently put a new ACT Extreme street clutch in the car because I didn't like the feel of the old one. I chose the ACT because it was built for horse power and yet offered a smooth stock feel. It's a great clutch and offers great street ability. 

The 350Z's are known to have problems with the window regulators, so I replaced both window regulators in the Fall 2013. 

The rims each are $2,000 (new) SSR GT3 special edition first run rims that are ALL CHROME. The rims could be refinished to make them look new again and the dent in the driver's front could be fixed. I took the rims to Wheels of America and was told it would cost about $150 per tire to refinish and fix the dent.  I thought that was extremely reasonable considering the cost of new rims.  

The interior is in great condition. No tears, rips or stains. The car has grey seats and black carpet. Very clean too!

The car is mechanically sound and everything works. She runs great! Has tons of muscle. Handles great! I hate to sell her but I have to stick with a 4-seater. Anyone looking for speed and power need look no further.  This car has it all!  

The engines in these cars were designed to run more than 200,000 miles. The problem that people run into with boosted Z's is that they over boost the motor.  The weakness of the motor is due to the connecting rods and the pistons (high compression). This in combo with high boosts, causes the motor to fail. To truly turn this car into a 500 horsepower monster, one would only have to change out the connecting rods and the pistons, thus lowering the compression of the motor.  Then one could safely boost into the teens. Everything else has already been done.  The boost on this low-mileage motor has been set at only 6 PSI to ensure long motor durability.  

The reserve for this car is extremely low because it has to go because I've already purchased that god-awful 4-seater!

If you live in the area, feel free to come by and inspect it before the auction ends.

Nissan teases sedan concept for Beijing [w/video]

Sat, 15 Mar 2014

Nissan is giving us the first tease of its creatively named New Sedan Concept that is premiering at the Beijing Motor Show on April 20. The single image shows the vehicle wearing a diaphanous robe that is just translucent enough to make out its headlights, V-shaped grille and badge. The rest is still a mystery.
The New Sedan Concept is aimed at young, digitally focused Chinese buyers, according to Nissan. Its look came from a collaboration between the company's design centers in China and Japan and was led by Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura. However, the teaser certainly makes the New Sedan look a lot like the Sport Sedan Concept from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. Hopefully, this is truly a new model and not just a repaint.
Scroll down for the full press release and a video of executive design director Mamoru Aoki discussing the new concept and previous ones.

Watch Formula Drift Championship leader Chris Forsberg drift a 1975 Datsun 280Z

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Chris Forsberg won the Formula Drift Championship in 2009, was in the catbird seat to win it last year until the final race of the season and started this year's season with a win at Long Beach. That is how he can be provide the example for Clarion USA's tagline, "Dream like a champion."
In this three-minute video for the audio components manufacturer, Forsberg gives up the race suit for a corporate suit, then takes time out of his commute to think about what he'd rather be doing. In a 1975 Nissan 280Z with a turbocharged 2.0-liter Skyline RBDET20 engine. We're sure this has never happened to any of you before.
You can watch how dream begins - and suddenly ends - in the video below.

Nissan reveals updated 2015 370Z Nismo among the faithful

Fri, 16 May 2014

Well before quick Honda Si models of the '80s or the performance juggernaut that the Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7 became in the 90s, the Datsun 240Z was an early stake in the ground for Japanese sports cars. It was affordable, but the original Z-car was also a capable coupe that could show its tail to European and American rivals. Today, Nissan celebrates the car each year with fellow enthusiasts at its ZDAYZ event, and this year in North Carolina, it's surprising fans by launching the 2015 370Z Nismo there with some significant upgrades.
The biggest change is that the 370Z Nismo is available with a seven-speed automatic transmission for the first time. The six-speed manual is still standard, of course. But for those who don't want to use a clutch, Nissan is offering the new automatic with Downshift Rev Matching and a manual mode via paddle shifters. Power is still provided by the same 3.7-liter V6 as last year, producing 350 horsepower and 276 pound-feet of torque with a limited-slip differential at the back for added traction.
This hottest 370Z model also receives a brand-new GT-R-inspired bodykit that features a deeper front fascia, LED running lights and blacked-out headlight bezels. It also sports a new chin spoiler bearing the Nismo emblem and red accents that flow from the front, down the side sills and all the way to the rear bumper. At the back, there is also a smaller ducktail spoiler for a more mature look. The 2015 also wears cool 19-inch forged aluminum wheels by Rays with a new twin-spoke design and charcoal finish. Compared to last year's model, it's a much more mature-looking coupe.
