$8,000 Rims and New Tires:

     (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.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.

Full 2015 Chevy City Express details revealed

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

If you're thinking, "hey, that looks familiar..." you aren't alone. We've already seen photos of the 2015 Chevrolet City Express van. And before that, we've already learned everything there is to know about the Nissan NV200 upon which its quite obviously based. Now, though, the City Express is holding its official coming out party at the Chicago Auto Show, and we finally have the official details about what'll hopefully make this van attractive to work-minded buyers.
To no one's surprise, the City Express doesn't offer any mechanical differentiation from its Nissan equivalent. Power comes from a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine rated at 131 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a continuously variable transmission. Of course, the purpose of the City Express is less about what's under its hood and more about what it can haul in its capacious cargo area. Chevrolet says the front passenger seat can fold flat to create a work space or accommodate longer objects in the cargo bay, there's a center console designed specifically for maximum storage capability and both sides of the van have sliding doors. In addition, there are a plethora of integrated cargo mounts, floor-mounted D-rings and roof rack mounts throughout the vehicle.
Visually, Nissan's NV200 has never exactly been a handsome thing to begin with, and this City Express doesn't really tweak it for the better - to our eyes, it might even be less attractive. Even the design of the 15-inch wheel covers have been left alone, though the Chevy shown here appears to wear chrome-finished units.

Club to restore amazeballs Datsun Safari Rally Z

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

Thanks to the Nissan Restoration Club, a legendary rally car is coming back to life. At the recent Nissan 360 media event, the Japanese automaker announced that its restoration club is bringing the Safari Rally Z back to original running condition. A variant of the Fairlady Z (or Datsun 240Z in the US), the Safari Rally Z has a fastback coupe body and a 215-horsepower inline-six engine. It won East African Safari Rally championships in both 1971 and 1973. The restoration is scheduled for completion this December.
Formed in 2006, Nissan's Restoration Club is comprised of 60 volunteer members who are passionate about Nissan's historic racecars. The club's past restoration projects include the 1964 Skyline racecar and 1947 Tama electric vehicle. Read the press release below for all the details on the latest restoration, and check out the gallery for photos of the Safari Rally Z as well as the 1972 Fairlady 240Z.
