well, this isnt for certain, but i'd like to figure out what im going to do.
that being said, some of you know my car. its a '97 240sx SE. SE meaning it has leather seats, 5 lug, VLSD, white face gauges. mileage on the engine is unknown. mileage on the car itself, is just over 51k.
whats done to it you ask?

-JDM kouki front grille.
-Klight 4300K H4 HID kit.
-Seibon CF trunklid.
EXTRA CRAP:

Parts not listed/sold seperately.

-Deatschwerks 650 RB25 injectors. (never used). $500 obo.
THE BAD:
-slight grind in high RPM shifts to 5th. internal parts are compatible with 300zx N/A trans.
-burns oil. im fairly certain it is due to a few bad valve seals.
-PS pump has started to whine. prob something simple.
-cracked windshield. i can have it replaced for $250 via insurance claim.
-the car has some small quirks. no windshield wiper sprayers. no cruise, no reverse lights, no horn, and the windshield wipers are janky.
THE GOOD:
-the car made 453whp on the monkey wrench dyno at 15psi.
-the engine was wired and installed by Alex. (LS1 S13 guy). he knows the car better than i do.
-ive done NONE of the work myself. its all been done by Alex, or the guys at monkey wrench.
-the car hauls ass. i took it for a spin today. boost controller turned off, 2nd gear is all over the place.
WHY i want to get rid or it?
-not 100% sure i do at this point. its fun, and the power is addicting. with bigger injectors, 500whp is right around the corner. i would prefer to toss in new rods and pistons first though.
WITH SALE:
-the car would be on the stock 16" wheels with Avon tires. assuming they fit over the brakes.
-it would also have the stock hood put back on.
the car was a roller when i bought it in early 2005. ive since, spent roughly $30,000 on it. and while it may not seem apparent, ive paid to have everything done. with a pro detail, it could look really, really good IMO.
you have all seen the pictures, but here we go again.

since purchasing the car in '05, i have not even put 10,000 miles on it.. im just not inlove with the car like i thought i was back then. i want something closer to stock, that i can drive every day. something more grown up, and european.
like i said, i am looking to get somewhere in the neigborhood of $14k for it, without wheels or CF hood. more would be better. but the thing isnt perfect. it is however, a great starting point for someone to take the car to another level entirely. the car gets ALOT of attention from people of all sorts. young kids, to old muscle car guys. its always good attention, too. ive been pulled over 1 time in the car, and was only issued a warning.
keep in mind, this is a feeler. im not 100% sold on the idea of getting rid of it. just looking for criticism and input. but if i have someone that really wants it, it might go bye-bye. anyhow, thanks for taking a look.
