Ok so for sale or for trade is a 1990 240sx w/ RB26DETT. I got this car from the owner of Tru motorsports in Indiana who did the swap and put it on modified car trader. Anyway it ran great from Indiana to here (SC) but the next day it wouldnt start. To make a long story short, my friends and I have narrowed it down to the MAF wiring going back to the ECU. It runs fine with the MAFs unplugged so that ruled out fuel,spark,CAS, or TPS. Basically with a new MAF and a new wire ran back to the ECU it should be in perfect working order.

Another thing is the interior, it was taken to the track once and all it was originally intended for track use so the interior is gutted and the ECU is exposed on the passenger side. Anyone with time and the resources (both of which I dont have) should be able to make it look great. Thats about it for the bad with this thing. I will list all the stuff that is done to it.

rb26dett Swap 30kish with 5 speed tranny hand picked
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Nismo FPR
Nismo oil cap
Nismo rad cap
Silvia steering wheel
SIlvia door sills
Corbeau forza black seats with brackets
Car back seats and trunk area has been gutted to reduce weight
4 point harness
Taylor relocated battery with aluminum box in the rear
New FMIC Piping and intercooler
Tein COilovers
300zx 5 lug brake swap
18 x9.5 and 18x8.5 Racing Hart 2 piece wheels with bridgestone tires
custom 3 inch catback
new paint job needs to be buffed top black red bottom
Extreme Dimensions GP1 body kit (in ok shape kinda cheaply fitted)

So anyway Im looking to either trade for a SR20 240 or $9k for it. I paid 11K and the price is OBO. Im going to be still working on it for the next few weeks to resolve the issues with it running/idling. My loss is your gain the one night I did get to drive it, it was amazing! Too much power for such a small car. I just need something I can drive to work with and not have to work on every waking moment since the military has no concept of days off. Thanks for looking!

It can drive but only goes upto 2500 RPM right now cause I have the MAFs disconnected. Im currently trying to get a new MAF and replace the wire going to the ECU that is not getting a signal.

Those are nice cars but i got this to horse around the track in so I want something like another 240 or RX-7. I just dont have the time with my work scedule to troubleshoot and fix my wiring issue. Its really frustrating cause it runs fine with the MAFs unplugged so I know its just a wiring issue I just cant figure out where.

Try cleaning the mafs cause my GTR had the same problem. If that doesnt work just buy new ones.

It will start with the MAFs unplugged but as soon as you plug em in it dies.

It has a running (albeit not perfect) RB26DETT in it; the price of the crappy swap alone would cover a SR20 w/ gt35r :D
