TW: 1997 240sx w/1jz gt35r

[alex_s817]

NEW PRICE $10,500
car has new brakes all around, new front ball joints, and a fresh power steering pump as well

EDIT: Car needs a turbo for sure, a precision 6265 ($850) is what I planned on going with so I figure I take $1,000 off, Asking $11,000 or best offer. trades for bikes + cash, stock sc's plus cash, evos, na mkiv supras are welcome, pm if interested.

Been considering selling my car for months, finally decided to post it up and see if anyone is interested. its a clean title 1997 base model s14. has 114k~ish miles on the odo. 1jzgte swap with an r154 5 speed transmission. Engine is completely stock internally. Currently running a garrett t3 gt3582r undivided turbocharger. modified ebay exhaust manifold with much better wastegate placement. tial gate, 4 inch downpipe to 4 inch stainless exhaust the whole way back. borla resonator inline. Car is still running the stock ecu and was tuned with an Apexi AFC by Mike Angel of Insane Speed in Las Vegas Nevada. On the 13.7 psi wastegate spring it makes around 360-370 in Vegas. Car is currently in Raleigh, NC and on 93 octane and at sea level, I believe it is making very close to 400whp. It is my daily driver and is extremely reliable. I drove it to Raleigh from Las Vegas in the middle of the summer through 120 temperatures and it never missed a beat. here is a list of everything on the car, should make it easier to see this way:
-1jzgte w/r154
-Garrett gt3582r
-Insane speed built 4 inch stainless v-band exhaust
-Tial 44mm wg
-turbosmart race port bov
-Ebay exhaust manifold
-Insane speed 2.5" black powder coated ic piping
-4 inch intercooler core
-New oem 2jzgte coilpacks
-Spec 6 puck sprung clutch
-Wiring harness conversion done by Sean @ Myjzswap
-Apexi afc
-Dakota digital conversion boxes for speedometer and tach
-2jzgte waterpump
-Koyo radiator
-Tokico blues w/eibach springs
-Aem uego wideband
-5zigen fno1rc -17x8 + 30 in the front, 17x9 +20 in the back
-General exclaim uhp tires- F234/45 R245/45
-6k hid kit
-Precison 680cc injectors
-Aeromotive fpr
-Aftermarket Fuel rail
-Custom fuel lines running on driver's side
-Turbo XS dual stage boost controller (mounted but not hooked up to the gate)
-4" alum intake
-K&N filter
-Crossmember was re-plated and engine is mounted very close to firewall
-Custom Steel Driveshaft
-Custom Shifter extension
-Skyline R32 vlsd
-Oem replica front lip
-Fresh paint - 2 stage Subaru Obsidian Black Pearl w/3 coats clear
-Yamato Garage tension rods
-Custom Aluminum Fan shroud w/2 12" Electric fans
- -4 an oil feed line, .035 restrictor before turbo
- -10 an oil return line
-Glowshift gauges- water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, & boost
-Walbro pump
-Oem Kouki side skirts
-Rear stainless brake lines
- relocated fuse box

the bad:
-car puffs a single cloud of blue on start up, this is because the turbo is on its way out. still boosts fine but im 100% it will need to be replaced in the next year or so.
-subframe has aluminum risers in it, however it could use new bushings
-its still 4 lug :(
-no ac, however the engine harness is wired for it. all of the oem ac lines fit in the bay still except for the one that generally goes behind the cylinder head when running the ka engine.
-there are a few dents and dings here and there, nothing major.

let me know if you are interested. everything above comes out to over $16,000 not including the price of the car. I am asking $12,000 or best offer, and realize that this is a lot of money for a 240. the cost to do a 1jz swap with the stock turbos can cost 6-8k just to get it running and driving, so i think the asking price is pretty fair. I am open to trades but am really looking for either a stock sc300 + cash, an evo, or an NA mkiv 5 spd targa top supra. A tt supra would be awesome however I do not have much cash to add on top.
-Alex

GLWS.

Sad to see you part ways with it after putting so much time and effort into it.

[alex_s817]

thanks a lot. Yeah me too, I'm still on the fence about selling but if the right offer comes along, I think it'd be the best thing for me. If i keep it im going to do a 6265,fcon vpro, & some corn fuel, but its just getting so expensive.

[blueshark123]

sounds like a pretty good deal glws

[ncbodybuilder]

nice car, I'm in Raleigh too, never seen this car around before. glws

[Syncade]

You drove in 120 degree weather with no AC you are crazy.

Nice choice on the OBP color. GLWS and let me know if you wanna sell that lip

[alex_s817]

thanks, what part of raleigh do you live in? ever go to the sonic meets?

yeah man im not going to lie, it was absolutely horrible. windows down even through rain and it still sucked haha. best part was i had the ac condenser installed at the time too so it was actually staying cool even with the condenser blocking a lot of the airflow.

also forgot to mention, in some of the pics, the car is on coil overs. these would have come with the car however, they were in terrible condition and honestly werent worth having, so i gave lent them to a friend to use to roll his project shell around. if you really want them, i can probably get em but they really are in bad shape

[ncbodybuilder]

I live more in the RTP area near RDU, no I haven't been to any meets, I have a gold s14 kouki. I really haven't been into modifying it anymore or whatever.

[elis4ag]

nice ride glws.

[drift38]

haha bump for sick car and bmx!

[Zilvia4eva]

You get my pm?

[Fractur3]

This car is stupid fun to ride around in. Free bump, this car runs fantastic!!!

[titangts]

sucks its a obd2 car though. good luck bro

[alex_s817]

thanks guys. yeah its crazy how much it costs, when I added it all up I was surprised I have spent as much as I have. I register it in Ohio and haven't had any problems with registration.

[ravaz]

Sent you a PM. Would love to talk to you about this vehicle.

Bill

Lmao...if you got ripped off that is your problem but you can do the swap for under $3k EASY. I just put a usdm get in my Supra for $2500. You cant count the cost of labor you paid for when selling a car.

[RB Me]

nice car. glws

[bobbyb77]

Shoot me a txt 7635164897 really interested

[alex_s817]

I agree 12k is a lot, but if you did that swap into a supra of course its going to be cheaper. easier to mount, easier to get a driveshaft, less wiring work, etc etc...

thanks RB ME

bobby you have a text coming your way

[ZenkiLB]

Anyway to get this car to florida?

[shiftdrift]

Gtfo troll. Custom shit is expensive and an s14 Kouki is ten times better than a pig ass mk3.

[alex_s817]

yes i wouldn't hesitate to drive this car down to Florida on a weekend if you are serious? I drove it across the country once already and it did not have any problems. I think the drive is about 10 hours from raleigh?

titangts, shoot me a text 435-531-6919 I might be interested.
thanks

[ZenkiLB]

Even with the condition that the turbo is currently in it could make it to florida?

[alex_s817]

Yes its not that bad, i have no doubt that it would make it down

[ZenkiLB]

im very interested but like to see some picture that are up to date of all around the exterior and interior, engine bay. etc

[silviaks2nr]

[alex_s817]

[ncbodybuilder]

[RB180sxChris]

[alex_s817]

im not sure, maybe it was? im not sure if there are many if any other black ones around here.


Sickk car for sure...GLWS bro!

thanks man!

[TEALSQUEAL]

Just an FYI that puff of oil smoke on startup is the valve seals. It is a typical issue with JZ motors. Oil seeps through the seal after the motor is off; upon startup the oil is burned off. Hence the little blue smoke at startup.


Besides that the swap looks clean and the parts list is nice aside from the eBay manifold. I will admit though that many ppl have ran these manifolds and not really had any issues.

[alex_s817]

the car needs a turbo, this is a known fact. the shaft play has increased over the past few months, blue smoke can now be seen from the exhaust under hard acceleration, and the valve seals may need to be replaced but haven't caused any smoking before. as the turbo began the fail, the oil smoke began to show.
thanks for the compliment. unlike most other ebay manifolds, the supra ones have been proven to over 1000whp and are used on street cars that make over 700 on a regular basis. these manifolds are much better than the ones you see on hondas/ka's/sr's etc...

[Zilvia4eva]

What exactly are you looking to trade for? I contacted you multiple times via pm a few months back and did not get a response.

[alex_s817]

id like to get an na mkiv, evo, or maybe an s2k. sorry if I didnt respond, I had a whole bunch of pms at one point after not being online for a while and i tried to get back to everyone.

[Zilvia4eva]

I have never seen someone wanting to trade an MK4 for a 240...but here you,give this guy a shot.
