1989 240sx Hatchback, CA18DET + more, $4500 firm

[IN33DH3LP]

Need money for school and joining Air Force soon! Looking for $2500 firm. Thats right, only $2500!!! I have to sell this car!!! I live in Butte, MT area code 59701. Willing to drive about 8 hours any direction to meet half way-for sale. This is by no means a show car! I repeat, IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR. It is not all sproused up to look pretty. That was never my intention with the vehicle. I do keep the interior clean. This has a CA18DET engine and 5-speed swap. I have an extra CA18DET engine bottom for parts. I also have the KA24DE automatic transmission (previous owner had it rebuilt and then I bought the car, Transmission is located in Kennewick, WA). Plus, a crap load of extra parts, including a spare T25 turbo, 8x370cc injectors, sidemount innercooler and piping, ecu's (ond for KA and one for CA), and the list goes on. All are included with the car! The CA18DET engine has between 35,000-55,000 miles on it. I have only driven this car about 1700 miles. Has a clear title. There are some dents, nothing major. Paint chipped in spots, no peeling. I'm a ASE certified Technician in area A6-Electronics/Electical and am still attending school. These parts were either installed by myself or by Kaizen Speed (visit www.KaizenSpeed.com ) (http://www.kaizenspeed.com%20)/). Links for PICTURES BELOW, if there is something you want to see, let me know through PM and I can send it to you.

What's wrong with it: vehicle (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=140557&highlight=ca18det#) speed sensor needs hooked up, hates the cold (if you add HEET it will start up, I believe the intake piping is to big), some items require installation, no wiper fluid container, radiator overflow needs installed, needs upper shift boot, hood is a little warped (could use a new one but not necessary), could use a torque damper or solid motor mounts to decrease engine vibration, no stereo, odometer doesn't work, Drivers side shoulder belt has been disconnected from motor (linkage was binding and needs replaced).

Below is a list of modifications+price estimates(sure I missed some):
Z32 MAF with connector-$125
444cc Injectors-$150
255 LPH Walbro Fuel Pump-$100
Tomei High lift Springs 10.25 (not installed)-$300
Cometic Metal Head Gasket (not installed)-$100
XS Power Front Mount Inner Cooler-$200
Kaizen Speed Inner Cooler Piping-$600
Cold Air Intake-$40
Kaizen Speed Intake Piping-$100
SPEC Stage 2 clutch-$300
Greddy Type RS Blow Off Valve-$200
Dual Electric Radiator Fans-$100
Motoria 3" Exhaust and Downpipe-$250
Autometer Cobalt EGT Gauge (needs tapped into manifold)-$150
Autometer Cobalt Boost Gauge-$70
Autometer Cobalt Tachometer-$200
Tanabe Front Sway Bar-$150
Tanabe Rear Sway Bar-$150
Cusco Front Strut Bar-$150
Cusco Rear OS Strut Bar-$150
Apexi AFC Neo-$300
HKS Fuel Cut Defencer-$120
Manual Boost Controller-$85
Apexi Turbo Timer-$75
Tomei Tech Trax Advance 2-way LSD-$750
KYB GR2 Struts and Sportline Springs

Needs a bushing kit (bushing kits run about $200), power steering pump is leaking-I will try and get this fixed. Recently Dyno Tuned-174 HP and 178 Ft Lbs of TQ to the ground at 12 psi. Ran into fuel cut at 14 psi. Once a Fuel Cut Defencer is installed, you can raise the boost higher. AFC-NEO is programmed for increased boost, just needs a Fuel Cut Defencer. I have the FCD it just needs installed. Havent had time to do it yet.

So, you'll be getting $4945 in modifications, a CA18DET engine you dont have to install or buy + another CA18DET engine bottom(the engine bottom is in good parts condition) $1200 value easy not including labor, a 5-speed swap you dont have to install or buy-$300, a rebuilt automatic transmission-$400 value, a crap load of extra parts-$?, and of course the car itself which blue books low end at around $1000. DONT MAKE MY MISTAKE by buying all these parts and then paying for some labor! Get the same car at a fraction of the price!

PRICE LOWERED!!! $4000 firm! I cant go lower then this. I have to get this car sold, going into the Air Force soon and it wont do me any good there. I am also willing to drive further southwest... Medford, Oregon. I still would prefer a meet halfway though. No more then a 10 hour drive.

[IN33DH3LP]

Have this car up on Ebay also, reserve is only $3500. My loss your gain!

[IN33DH3LP]

UPDATES: I have enlisted into the Air Force and can't leave this car around for my wife to deal with. I am only asking $2500!!! Thats right $2500!!! For $2500 the problems that this car has are miniscule! I will accept PayPal, money orders, or cash, but if you pay with PayPAl add 3% for PayPal fees. Buyer has to arrange shipping, still willing to meet for sale if buyer pays for my gas (under conditions listed above). There was someone interested in Texas who found shipping for only $450 to give a rough estimate.

Power steering is fixed. FCD is installed. Still needs a bushing kit. Recently curbed the right side of the vehicle, havent assesed the damages. Will do it this week (obviously pulling to the right, no wobbles). Have purchased a block heater for it to help with cold start issues, but it is not installed. Vehicle still comes with everything listed above. Next step is parting it out and junking the rest. Really dont want to have to do this. So someone please buy it!

[IN33DH3LP]

damages evaluated. Nothing is bent or broken, needs alignment. Needs some bushings replaced to have a proper alignment done.

Do you have any extra power steering parts you'd want to part with? I need a complete power steering setup for my CA18 car. I also need a water outlet. Got these in your list of extra parts? Sorry to hijack your thread but I cant seem to find this stuff anywhere.

[IN33DH3LP]

Unfortunatly, I do not have any extra power steering parts or water outlet. I had an extra pump at one point but we took it apart last semester in class. Sorry.

[IN33DH3LP]

Could a Admin please lock this thread, it is no longer for sale. I am parting it out instead.

If I had the $2500 I'd take this from you in a heartbeat. Sorry to hear you have to deal with parting everything out.
