For auction is my 2005 Nissan 350z Touring Roadster with 52,100 miles as of the date this is being listed. The color is black with the factory option of burnt orange leather seats with black mesh inserts. I am the second owner of this vehicle and bought it from a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Nissan dealer in early 2007 as a Nissan Certified Used Vehicle along with a 5 year bumper to bumper extended warranty (expired in November 2012). I live in Michigan now, and have a clear title and own the car outright.

At the time of my purchase, the Z had about 20,677 miles or so on the odometer. I have babied this car since the day I bought it, always keeping it in the garage and being sure to have the oil and filter changed every 3500-4000 miles either by the Nissan dealer or by me personally. I am now reluctantly selling it only because I am moving out of state soon and I have too many toys, so I have to downsize a bit.

I am very honest in my Ebay listings and below detail everything I know about the car during my ownership, and what I know of its history before I bought the car.

CONDITION

As the pictures show, the car is in excellent shape. The engine is perfect and completely stock except for a Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) conical air filter that adds a few more horses and gives the Z a great intake growl. This can easily be swapped back to stock in about 15 minutes. I have the OEM air box and filter which will be sold with the car.

Oil and filter changes were done by Nissan, or by me personally every 3500 to 4000 miles.

There are no mechanical or electrical issues with this car. Everything runs and works exactly as it should. The clutch and gear shifter is original and flawless, and I just added 4 new tires about 800 miles ago. Anything that went wrong with the car was immediately rectified under my extended warranty. In 2010 I had a new thermostat put in under warranty. Prior to that, I had a new clutch slave cylinder put in under warranty. That is about it for any mechanical items that required warranty work.

I installed a brand heavy duty battery about 4 months ago.

The paint and body is in great shape. I am meticulous about my cars and have had the entire front bumper professionally surfaced and painted in late 2012 due to some small rock chips on the paint from the highway, and that were bothering me. In 2011, someone in a parking lot scraped the rear bumper. I had the entire back bumper professionally repainted rather than live with the scrape. Presently the only paint items existing are typical scratches from road use which any car with 50,000 miles will have. On the drivers side I had to due some very small touch ups due to three scratches from a parking lot likely. On the passenger side there is a very tiny ding that is barely noticeable unless you catch it in the right light and the right angle. It is really nothing more than most cars get in parking lots, which is likely what happened. On the front hood there are a few typical tiny rock chips from highway pebbles and such. Just what you would expect to see on a car with 50,000 miles or so. I tried to take pictures but could not get these things to show up in photos. That is it for any known paint and body items.

The convertible top is in excellent condition. It is not faded, and has no rips or tears. The rear glass window is perfect and the defogger works as it should. The power retractable top works perfectly as it should.

The car does not know what rust is. It also doesn't know what snow looks like.

Tires as stated are 4 brand new Kumho Ecsta ASX in the OEM sizes 225/45 18 (Fronts) and 245/45 18 (Rears). I had new front brakes put on the car about two years ago and there is plenty of pad left. The rears also have plenty of pad left. The rims are OEM 18". The fronts and one rear do have some very slight curb rash which is typical and not very noticeable unless you really look up close.

The interior trim, carpets and seats are all like new and in excellent shape, and the leather is great shape as well. No cracks or splits, etc. Power windows, locks and all other electrical functions perfectly as they should.

All in all, I can confidently and fairly rate this car as strongly between "very good" to "excellent" by Kelly Blue Book standards. In the interest of selling the car quickly, I have a starting bid (with no reserve) well below Blue Book private party sale value for that condition range of $19,458 to $19,908 which is what you can expect a dealer to ask for the same car.

VEHICLE HISTORY

As stated, I bought the car in early 2007 from a Nissan Dealer, and it was sold as a Nissan Certified Used Vehicle, passing Nissan's rigorous certification process and included a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty that just expired in November 2012.

The title is clear, and has never been a salvage title or such thing. I now own this car outright and hold the title as I paid off the loan recently.

There have been no traffic accidents while I owned the car other than minor and expected scrapes/dings from parking lots or rock chips from the highway (mentioned above), where I had both the front and rear bumper professional re-finished and repainted simply because these things bothered me from a cosmetic perspective.

I am aware only from Carfax that the prior owner in 2006 reported a minor accident of some sort in NY. Nissan has checked the car out from top to bottom and certified it when sold to me. Further, there is no indication of frame damage or anything else significant and I have had no issues in the 6 years I have owned this car. I suspect the 2006 damage was purely cosmetic, although I cannot tell from the carfax what was damaged, and I never have been able to tell by looking at the car since the paint and body is, and has always been in such great condition. That is the extent of my knowledge about the car's prior history and I mention this to try to be as honest as I can about my knowledge of the car.

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT

To protect everyone involved, I will not release the car or sign over the title until I receive full payment in the form of a cashier's or certified check from a bank and that check is cashed at the bank. I would like a $250 deposit from the winning bidder via paypal to be applied against the balance due on the car.

The winning bidder is responsible for shipping. I am willing to work with the buyer in order to deliver the car to a shipper, etc within a reasonable distance from my house.

Jay Leno checks out Nissan IDx Nismo, spiritual successor to classic Datsun 510

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Jay Leno may not be spending his night behind the Tonight Show desk anymore, but he's clearly not done rolling precious metal into his garage, intent on putting it through its paces after a thorough investigation. The latest machine to meet Jay on his home turf is the Nissan IDx Nismo Concept that we first saw at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year.
Leno already has love for the classic Datsun 510, which plays a cameo in the video that you'll see below, and he refers to the IDx as the spiritual successor to that car's ethos - driving fun in an affordable package. Fortunately for us, while the IDx is a showcar first and foremost, it is indeed driveable, and Leno, naturally, takes his turn behind the wheel.
Scroll down to watch the complete video below.

Next Nissan Titan will get turbocharged diesel V8 from Cummins

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Toyota might be content to eke out an existence in the fullsize pickup market with its lightly refreshed Tundra, but Nissan looks like it'll be a bit more aggressive with its next-generation Titan. The next Titan will make use of a 5.0-liter, turbodiesel V8 from Cummins, the Japanese company announced at the start of its Nissan 360 industry showcase.
Nissan's commitment to a fullsize pickup isn't really open for debate - it made waves back in April when it lured Fred Diaz, CEO of Chrysler's Ram pickup division, down to its Franklin, Tennessee headquarters. But this news of a monster turbodiesel is big. As of this writing, only Ram is set to offer a diesel engine in a non-heavy-duty pickup. Its 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6 will arrive in the Ram 1500 in the not-so-distant future, but that engine will still be a far cry from what's promised with this Cummins mill.
The 5.0-liter V8 is expected to generate well over 500 pound-feet of torque - likely closer to 550, based on the language in the press release - along with over 300 horsepower. Those figures aren't just a shot across the bow of Ford, Chevy, GMC and Ram, they're an opening broadside, meant to demonstrate Nissan's willingness with its next light-duty truck. As Diaz said, "There is no question that the new Titan will turn heads, and with the available Cummins 5.0-liter V8 turbodiesel, we expect to win new fans and attract buyers looking for this unique configuration."

Nismo GT-R poised to be fastest Nissan ever

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

For almost every year since the Nissan GT-R first debuted, Nissan has been figuring out how to cram more power under the hood or give it 911-like quickness around the Nürburgring. Looking to create a brand image for its performance arm, we already knew that a hotter, Nismo-branded GT-R was in the works, but it seems some details may have leaked regarding this new Nismo GT-R.
While little has been spoken of this Super GT-R since February, Top Gear is reporting that Nismo is planning to make improvements to the coupe's power, handing and styling - three things that we're sure few have complained about since 2009. What could this mean for the GT-R? According to the article, Nismo could be looking to raise horsepower from the current 545-hp mark to more than 570 hp, and handling upgrades could give the car a 'Ring lap time of seven minutes and 22 seconds, which as Top Gear points out, is four seconds quicker than the new 911 GT3.
