Well guys it looks like I'm going to have to lose the S13. It broke down (head gasket and/or connecting rod bearing) and I'm going to have to let her go. Wondering from those who may have experience what I should do to make the most out of it. Part it out or sell it whole? I've got a few upgrades which are fairly new (n1 dual, prokits, AGX's)plus the tools to part out anything else. or I could possibly sell it for 500-800 but I really don't know. Any suggestions? I hate to have to get rid of it because I had big plans but theres really only room for 2 cars and this one is the odd man out.

Thanks,
Garrett

how is the body on the coupe? any rust or anything? straight frame any accidents?

sell the suspension/mods separate. sell it stock

let me know. me and my friend are looking for a coupe for a track car.
peace

I would do a engine swap BUT, I already have a Z32 that I just put an engine into and I'm working on getting that running ($$$$) PLUS, I just bought an Xterra. As much as I like the car, I just don't have the room or time to get it running again. I can't part with the Z.

As far as I've ever been able to tell or know, the frame is straight. The only rust I've run into is near the shock towers and it isn't anything terrible. Unfortunatly I didn't keep the stock parts so parting out the suspension= parting out the whole thing. Which I'm not against doing. It would probably make a good track car. That was my plan originally.

I was saying swap as in a new engine (CA SR, KA). No matter what it's more than I really want to bother with at this point. Just don't have a need for 2 sports cars. I'm thinking parting out is the better idea unless someone wants to give me $2K for it right now :D . It really isn't too bad aside from the engine and even that maybe somewhat minor. I'll probably start a part out thread and see how much interest there is. Thanks for the advice guys.

Sell the mods, return the car to stock and sell it.

That would work but I don't have the stock parts anymore
