I have been upgrading this car for 10 years and now need cash for home repairs. I am sad it has come to this, but the 240SX has to find a new home.

The modification list is summarized below, and there are additional parts that I am probably forgetting. I have assembled two 3-ring binders full of receipts and swap notes along the way to document what has gone into the car. This also helps insuring it based on an agreed value too!

I have installed at least $25K in aftermarket parts including the engine swap. All of the work on the car, apart from the machine work on the engine, was done by myself so I know it was double checked and done right.

It gets 18 mpg on E85 going 70 mph down the interstate. If you run pump gas, then it will be more like 23 mpg. This is insanely good for a 600+HP car. You could daily drive this to work and not break the bank on fuel. And yes it is THAT reliable. I have not been left stranded after replacing the OEM coil packs.

I am not interested in trades at this point. I could use cash without going through the hassle of selling someone else's car for them in order to obtain said cash.

Good luck with the sale! thats a cool car!

 

Thanks!

It has been a long road to get it to where it is at currently and now I have about $50k in home repairs/renovations to make so the 240 has to be converted into a furnace, water heaters, piping, drywall, paint, framing, etc.

 

Awesome job on the build, love the car. GLWS

 

props on an uber clean ride.

 

i need that motor set up for my jdm r34, lol, great job OP and glws

 

sent you a PM OP not sure if you received it? i am ready.

 

Very Nice!!

 

GLWS, its in fantastic shape

 

bump for a lovely looking zilvia that is done right.

 

GLWS. Great build.

 

I appreciate the compliments guys!

2swoosh, I tried to PM you but I don't have enough posts to reply directly. I'm going to have to decline your trade offer since I need to sell my summer car to pay for boring $#!t.

But if you need input on building that R34, lemme know. I have developed somewhat of a reputation in the RB world and have some solid connections I could hook you up with

Any additional photos hosted somewhere?

I tried poking around for an answer, but it might be easier to just ask - does the Haltech provide any sort of OBDII readiness readings for inspection/emissions testing purposes?

Thanks.

 

I don't really have many exterior pictures of it, but I'll try to add some more. Most of my pics are of the engine bay or individual parts or progress I need to take it out and find a photoshoot location or two.

I'm not sure about emissions readiness, but you can set up anything you can think of with this software. You'd need to add a secondary O2 sensor, but that's not a big deal. The current setup will not pass emissions, which is why I register it at my "place" in downstate IL

 

sent you a PM and cell for texting, thanks
