Junkyard score!

[tehf00]

Well there is this 240sx Silvia Coupe at a local auto wrecker. From what I heard someone else got there first and got the bride seat(s), sr20det, tranny, ecu, momo steering wheel w/quick release hub, silvia front end conversion (possibly some of it damaged, not sure?)

I managed to get the VLSD rear end and entire rear sub frame as one unit (hicas system, axles, sway bar, suspension arms, rotors/calipers, etc) and the entire front suspension (sway bar, calipers, aftermarket slotted rotors, hubs, ball joints, nismo front lower control arms). Full front and rear GAB Super HP adjustable struts with lowering springs. 2x 6.5" Alpine Type R's and some 4x6 JBL speakers with some amp wire and RCAs. Power folding mirrors the right color and some other random interior peices, jdm mud flaps and a rear bumper the right color. Managed to score all this for $130.

Now I just have to get around to installing it :|

[ro240sx]

When I went to the junk yard I couldn't find shit.

[White Comet]

too bad you weren't the first guy
exactly what i was thinking, but not bad nonetheless

[Andrew Bohan]

my friend and i took his corolla to utah for gt live, and we borrowed his friend's CF hood. we stickered up his hood to match the rest of the car, and then gave the hood back when we got back.

then a few months later, something happened and his friend's car ended up in the junk yard with that hood on it, and some other corolla guy swooped it up, and now he has a hood with all my stickers on it.

hahah

[tramp_drift240]

[NISMO_tuner]

[I LUV MY S13]

Wtf is a car like that doing at a junkyard to begin with!

[MrMcgarrett]

wat im wondering is what junkyard was this?
I was wondering the same thing lol

Wtf is a car like that doing at a junkyard to begin with!
You'd be surprised what you'll find at the yards.
I found three SR swapped S13's in like one month at the same junkyard(motors were gone of course) but they did have some aftermarket stuff still on them.
All three were pretty badly wrecked.

[homeslice]

^^^ So how did you know they where SR swap's??
Usually insurance will take care of stuff like that..But i know you can buy your car back for a very small amount.

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

fuck tell me this junkyard and ill sure go there everyday.

i go to the junkyard here in the IE around fontana/ontario atleast 2-3 a week just to see something that catches my eye. but nothing, same old busted ass up S13 shells with some fire seat covers.

[MrMcgarrett]

Two were zenki's with dohc ps lines and they both had SMIC's.
The other one had a FMIC and the block was laying on the ground in front of the car lol

[s13dan]

wow, sometimes i wich i lived in cali..

[iRONDONkey]

first guy is an idiot and should have bought the car as a whole.

[don_bagz]

wow, sometimes i wich i lived in cali..

haha.. im sure you wouldnt want that.. whats an sr in cali if its not legal.. it was a great find, but its not something that happens in a regular basis.. COPS in cali makes me think of moving.. but i cant..

but yeah, just coz someone found a diamond in the street, doesnt mean you move into that city and walk around hoping to find one too..

[jayrawr]

where the heck was this junk yard at ?! im going to a junk yard tomorrow hoping to find an ash tray haha

[DataXUnknown]

^ Lol thats what I go to the junkyard lookin' for, and I finally found one! Goodluck on your ashtray hunt.

[S13 Johnnie]

Cars around here are written off (damage, vandalism, etc) and the person gets paid out from the insurance company. If they don't want to buy it back the insurance company sells cars in lots, maybe 20-50 at a time to junkyards. All the junkyards bid auction style and whoever wants to pay the most gets all the cars, usually $150-400 each. CA = canada, not cali. It was a RHD Silvia and tons of those get brought in and totaled.

Also got a jdm wind visor for the window and a K&N air filter from another car.

[sidewayz240]

where in Canada? I want to find junkyards like that.

[S14TEENZ]

i hate the one i go to because the damn clerks and his buddies are into 240s so they scarff it all up before i even get to look at it...

[importdude]

that pink 240 was ghetto ridged like hell not surpised when i saw how it looked without the overfenders

i stole the relays

[Serebros]

There are only 2 certainties in life: Death and DSM's breaking.

lol

[ZilviaKid]

[ThatGuy]

CA is Cali not CAnada...

:confused:

[ZenkiKid]

i came up with a hicas sway bar for 18 bucks?

is that a score?

[ZilviaKid]

:confused:
Reading comprehension > Me

[SR_Vlurs]

damn im going to a junkyard on Tuesday or weds hope to find something halfway decent but around here they barely have any 240s but im going there to find a lsd from a j30 =D wish me luck

[tehf00]

Sask, it's cause our insurance is all through a public government owned company. There is no such thing as private car insurance in our province. We don't get that much aftermarket 240 stuff in the junkyards. There are a few complete ones with blown engines I'm guessing but nothing else really fancy. Although I did find another VLSD last fall.

Cool, on a side note thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of the difference.

[punk138]
