1989 240sx coupe Sil Front/SR20 swap Florida

WanganMid · 02-23-2004, 04:09 AM

1989 240sx coupe base model
5spd
125k miles
sr20det redtop
sil-front conversion
350z Silverstone Paint

Ive had this car running for about 5 months now. 95% of the time its been at 7lbs boost (had it at 14 for a week with a boost controller). Runs very strong, no issues. New alternator. No smoke, no noises, no leaks. Feel free to bring anyone along with you to inspect it, and feel free to do compression test.

The outside has been repainted to 350z silverstone, and still has not been wetsanded yet. I will be tending to these things over the next few weeks. The paint was done at a local shop, and is a several layer base/clear paint job, with a very thick clear coat (should wetsand nicely). Door jams and inside of trunk are painted. Engine bay is flat black. If buyer wants I can provide you with the extra cans of paint left over (for touchups/more painting). Car will be sold with a set of S13 SE alloy wheels.

The interior is mostly gutted, but I have almost all the parts still for anyone who wants them. Dash has no cracks. Good door panels. Carpet is black. S14 seats. S14 belts.

The install is very straight foward and far from sloppy. Its been cleaned up a little and is now pretty decent. Wiring is solid, no problems. Power steering is still hooked up. The A/C condensor is still there, as is the firewall connections, drier, and some of the lines. I can get an A/C compressor and lines if needed. Good clutch, no tranny issues. Good silicone couplers and spring loaded clamps.

mods:

Apexi N1 Single w/resonator
Blitz BOV
Electric Fan and thermostat relay
Greddy 3" Downpipe
Griffin SMC Radiator
HPI Intercooler Kit
Walboro 255l

350z Silverstone Paint
GT-R Style front grille
Silvia Front End
Chameleon Valve Cover

Greddy Turbo Timer
S14 seats

Polybushing front TC's rods

Im selling my car because im forced to reduce my garage size (moving from 2 cars to 1). Im sad to see it go, but, things change.

The car needs someone with a little time to add the finishing touches. Wetsanding, window trim touchup, hook the fog lights up, etc. Would also recommend a suspension of some sorts, as the stock setup is not very good. As with everything its not perfect, but its honestly in pretty good shape.

If I'm not required to hook up the A/C or wetsand the car, I will let it go for $6700 to the first buyer. It will go on ebay in about a week, and I know it will go quick. First dibs for locals and boards. Has clean title.

thanks for the compliment man! all my friends know, i was hesitant about bringing it to d-day cause i was wanting to sell it. be just my luck that I'd take it there then it would have something go wrong, etc.

but in all honesty, im more confident in selling it after taking it because of how well it did. during the course of the day, not one single problem. no overheating, turbo issues, nothing. ran like a champ for me.

afterwards the oil is still crystal clear, still runs great, etc. a good buy for someone who wants a complete swap but doesnt want to end up with someone elses basketcase.
