NEW INFO:

The car has been "SMOGGED" (California buyers) and I have all the necessary paperwork.  Additionally, I recently had the Z dyno tuned at Driven Authority (Dyno chart is available).  It was upgraded to a Nis-Tune program (used to be Jim Wolf program), and conservatively tuned.  
   

I have owned this amazing car for over 15 years.  In fact, part of my personal identity is attached to this Z, and I will be greatly saddened when it is no longer nestled snuggly in my garage.  However, life is unpredictable, and for personal reasons, I am posting it for sale.  A rough estimate on money spent boggles the mind...somewhere between $50K -$60K (all in over 15+ years).  Make no mistake, this is one of the cleanest, most tastefully modded Twin Turbo's you will ever see.  The car is scary fast and should not be purchased by a novice driver.  It handles incredibly and will rip your face off under braking.  I drive the car appx. 500 miles per year (if that), approximately 5K miles put on the new motor since it was fully built and installed.  When I do drive it, it performs flawlessly, and the perspective buyer should have peace of mind that it will do the same for them (assuming they don't abuse/neglect it).  I have provided a comprehensive list of modifications and I will be available to answer any/all questions.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to view the Z, or you have additional questions or concerns, I can be reached via cell @(916)934-9222.  Best Regards, -Josh

Nissan giving away Leaf-shaped air fresheners that smell like the future

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We had to check our calendar to make sure it didn't read April 1, but since it's not April Fool's Day, we have to assume that Nissan of Europe really has created a special air freshener scent to give away this Christmas. To create this original fragrance, Nissan looked to Dr. George Dodd, a master perfumer and aroma academy scientist who looks a tiny bit like Santa Claus (we seriously aren't making this stuff up).
Like a mad scientist, Dr. Dodd went to work blending chemicals and fragrances to design a smell that matches the Leaf's Earth-friendly, zero-emission attitude. Once the "scent of the future" is transformed into the lovely Santa-driving, Leaf-shaped air freshener you see above, Nissan of Europe will be giving one to its employees, Leaf customers and "select electric car fans." Sadly, EV - and scent - enthusiasts here in the US will be stuck with the tried-and-true pine tree air freshener.
We don't want to ruin exactly what Dodd finally came up with for the "scent of the future," but you can find out for yourselves in the video and press release posted below.

Renault appoints Dacia Logan creator to head its Nano-rival program in India

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

After watching the Tata Nano post sales numbers smaller than its engine displacement, Renault gave up on its much publicized intention to build a truly inexpensive car to rival it. Then, a month ago, reports emerged that Renault was resuming work on a couple of low-priced cars for emerging markets, but this time it would work with its in-house partner, Nissan. That plan envisions an offering for €3,000 ($3,888 US) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 US), both of which would be more spendy than the Nano but might avoid the charge of being cheap - and nasty - and instead be considered affordable.
A report in Reuters talks to the man in charge, Gerard Detourbet, who has been in Chennai, India since at least August working on the program. Detourbet led the Dacia Logan project and is considered "Renault's low-cost car specialist" and "the father of entry-car programs." This one is reportedly codenamed A-Entry and will create a "'sub-entry' architecture" that will provide roominess beyond the vehicle's price and class, and use an engine with a displacement of 800 cubic centimeters.
It isn't aimed at the Nano, though - it means to take on the products that make up 45-50 percent of India's car market, like the Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Eon. According to Reuters, out of the 2.6-million-strong Indian car market the Maruti Suzuki line-up alone nabs one million registrations annually. The Alto 800 begins at 244,000 rupees ($4,440 US), the Eon at 300,000 rupees ($5,559 US), the Chevrolet Spark at about 316,000 ($5,750 US); if Renault can nail its price targets it will just about bracket those three and be right in the game.
