FS/FT 1995 Nissan SE 240sx LS1 swap

[TallGuyTurbo]

PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING OFFERS!

Latest pics on page 3....new paint and new tires. More to come! As of today, December 26, 2011, the car has been resprayed the factory color and all tires have been replaced. The car will have all electrical and mechanical issues addressed over the coming weeks. After the car is mechanically sound, I will install enough performance goodies to eclipse the 420whp mark. After that, a slight interior upgrade and the car will be done.

TRADES AND PRICING

This car will be sold to help finance a purchase of a home and grad school tuition. For those reasons, cash is king. I'd prefer to sell outright but I'd trade under certain stipulations. This LS1 240sx will be worth my asking price entirely upon completion. You will not find a car in such outstanding condition with high performance in the price range. My asking price will be $16,000. I will negotiate, but not much. It is not a necessity to sale, but it would make my life easier. I will not sale for crackhead pricing. I will not entertain lowball offers. I've tried to be as upfront and honest with everyone who has PM'd me. I'm very aware of what the market pricing is for ALL imports. I stay up to date with the trends and advances in technology. I'm a reasonable guy and expect the same in return.

HOWEVER, AS OF 12/26, WITHOUT GO FAST GOODIES AND UPGRADED INTERIOR, WITH ALL OTHER ISSUES FIXED I'D TAKE $12,750.

TRADE
1.) Car must be problem free and extremely reliable.
2.) Car must be a stock as possible. No extreme modifications.
3.) Absolutely NO 240sx or Motorcycles. (I have an s13 project that will follow the same quality build guidelines I have for this car and will be up for sale soon. And motorcycles are of the devil. Been there, wrecked that, have the scars and limp to prove it.)
4.) Trade must include ~$10,000.

This is my last "go" at modifying imports. Been a fun hobby but I'm over it. I'm into performance luxury sedans, trucks, SUVs, and legitimate sanctioned race cars now. Ya know...grown up stuff :p I want to finish these last projects and admire the street scene from a distance.

Need more pics...just ask!

[ST(I)mpreza]

I sure like this car, but I dont see 10k. I sure need a car though, and it says make offer. 5k? PM me if you decide to price drop it. If not GLWS for a cool Zenki!

[TallGuyTurbo]

Thanks for the offer man but $5000 aint gonna cut it haha If you priced it all out there's certainly over $10,000 spent between the car and the parts. I know I'm not going to get that. $10k is just the starting spot. I'd really like to finish it but life dictates I get my master's degree and my brother buys a house so the cars gotta go!

[TallGuyTurbo]

If your willing to negotiate your offer I'll be glad to work with you and make a fair deal out of it.

[chriskilla2]

people who low ball you dont know what the car is worth and do not deserve the car.. good luck with sale man

[TallGuyTurbo]

Bump. Would love to get into a newer Accord 6-6 or maybe an e46 3 series. Cash is always good to. I need a nice daily. Make me an offer.

[motodoc]

I tried calling both you and your brother yesterday...no reply. Even left a message on david's voicemail. I only have Powersports related toys to trade. Let me know if you're interested. I'm in nc.

[driftking561]

You must not have a full understanding of the swap in front you. 5k would barely cover the motor and tranny. You know what, i challenge you to built this is exact car mismatched paint and all for under 10k. Smh

[trale]

:werd: ^agree

[TallGuyTurbo]

Motodoc sorry I missed ur call. I work for an NHRA team and this weekend is our last race and im swamped. I got ur voicemail hadnt had a chance to reply yet. No motorcycles for me brother haha been there done that got hurt :P

no worries. thanks and glwts

[RB Me]

i think everyone is misinterpreting his 5k offer. anyways cool car. i always encourage people to keep their project after they have dumped tons of money.

[xclusive_s]

interior pictures?

[xislander]

willing to trade for a 96 Se stock? plus cash?

[TallGuyTurbo]

I'll try to get some interior pics up as soon as possible. As for trading for the stock se, it'd take 7000 cash on top for the deal to make sense for me.

[Matthew Murphy]

Good luck with the sell dude. I think its a good price considering everone trying to sell their ls s14s for 15k now and days.

[NickIsAZero]

Glad to see you're not dealing with lowball offers, I wish I could just trade motor setups with you...! I shoulda went LS from the beginning instead of building my SR.

Interested in trading/selling those rims?

[Russ]

interested in a possible trade deal for a bike?

'09 Honda CBR600RR
3500 miles

[TallGuyTurbo]

No bikes for me!

Not really trying to part out at this time.

As it sits, this car is a perfect starting point for someone wanting to take on a small project. Paint + fix the listed issues, and youve got a hell of a car. The swap n mounting kit is very pricey. And then you have to spend all the time and energy getting it running. This car gives people the chance to pick up a project and customize it to their exact liking without much work or headaches. I feel my price is fair.

[bmhossain]

i think everyone is misinterpreting his 5k offer. anyways cool car. i always encourage people to keep their project after they have dumped tons of money.

Not sure how that could be misinterpreted....you offered him 5k....that's a horrible offer. Hope you get what you need for this car. Someone will be very happy with it when completed.

[alohaworld]

nice car. good price

[blueshark123]

ha 5k can barely get you a sr powered s14 that has nothing done but a swap

[468POWER]

amen brother

[ST(I)mpreza]

people who low ball you dont know what the car is worth and do not deserve the car.. good luck with sale man

I just came across this thread again, and still really like this car! I wasnt meaning to shoot you a lowball out of disrespect, I was just saying what I can pay. I understand your car is worth more. And I have been saving up more and more. I will see how this week goes and PM you if its still available. I would like to work something fairer then 5K out. I understand that just retardly low...

[tayloray]

check my thread if your interested pm me

[charizard240s14]

bump for fellow s14 owner , love ls1 swaps!

[TallGuyTurbo]

Still got the car. Getting offers on it..however they are too low for me to consider or something I'm not interested in. I don't want any motorcycles, bikes, s2000s, miatas, or other small sport compacts. Do not want civic, integras (except type R), def not another 240, or any car older than a 2000.

My exception to the rule would be a very nicely kept 300ZX TT.

[seagrasser]

Any idea on WHP? How does it handle?

[TallGuyTurbo]

I'd estimate 330-340whp. I'm comparing that to other LS1 engines with similar mods to mine. A cam upgrade will bring the whp to the 400 mark.

Car handles great! It's a blast to drive. If I were keeping the car I'd raise it an inch or so to help with speed bumps and daily driving.

[seagrasser]

To be clear,

No brake upgrades (yet). No A/C (yet).
Does the heat work?
Does it have a moonroof?
Do you have any interior shots?

[TallGuyTurbo]

Last chance. Car will be repainted, some issues sorted, and goin back up for sale for a higher amount.

[konawel]

want an 04 sti with a bad timing belt?

[ST(I)mpreza]

Dang, I want this car so bad I just cant come up with the cash! Thanx for your time though Scott and David! I hope I can get the $$ in time!

[TallGuyTurbo]

Id love to have an sti. Just don't wanna deal with fixing the damage of a bad timing.

Mitchell, thanks again!

[MasonBarnard]

Id love to have an sti. Just don't wanna deal with fixing the damage of a bad timing.

Mitchell, thanks again!

I'll trade you a P&L built rotated GT30r Sti with 12,000 miles + around ~8,000 on your end (see my threads if interested) ... If not, then ill try to rush my sale, so i can pick this up, and ship it here.

The 8,000 will be if the car is in this condition, dont really care about exterior since im fine with painting / fixing up as long as engine / trans has no problems

any tuning done?

[TallGuyTurbo]

Sounds nice man but I'm not looking to put thay amount of cash into anything. I'll simply finish this project as planned and sell it for what its worth.

[JesusFast]

bump for a cool car!

[lmsilvias14]

Nice car good luck with the sale man... Just an LS1 swap runs 5k+ so people please consider this when shooting at planes and hoping to hit one with a bb gun...

[TallGuyTurbo]

Update! car is in the paint booth and will be finished by next week. Gettin repainted the factory Ruby Pearl. After paint is completed, all issues will be fixed and some performance parts installed. I'll then adjust the pricing to reflect the finished product.

[TallGuyTurbo]

Car is almost out of the paint shop. Finishing touches being applied. Paint job is amazing!

Next steps...sort electrical issues, replace windshield, and install cam, intake manifold, and get tuned.

[xislander]

Glws just keep it man. Everyone is broke

[seagrasser]

I'm still paying attention. In for the new look.

[ST(I)mpreza]

I'm still paying attention. In for the new look.

Me too, I will look even though I cant touch!

[04srt21]

give me a call/text 609 330 7203

Ill give you a shout sometime today after lunch.

[canasion35]

^no bikes! nice car btw i love that color

[TallGuyTurbo]

Yea not looking for bikes.

I can't wait to show y'all the finished product. I'll have dyno video, detailed photos for the interior and exterior, and some professional "scenic" photos taken once it's all said and done.

[ItaliaBrat]

part out rims !? LMK

[TallGuyTurbo]

I just put brand new Dunlop Direzza dz101 on all four corners with ZERO miles on them. I'd have to recoup the entire cost of the tires plus a good offer on the wheels for it to make sense.

[TallGuyTurbo]

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n170/tallguyturbo/imagejpeg_2_9.jpg

Car will be put in shop in a few days to fix the rest of the issues.

So far:
Brand new Dunlop Direzza DZ101 - all four
Brand new paint job.


Much more to come!

[RBbrandon20]

Hey can you text me. I have a trade offer. 320 766 6141.

[TallGuyTurbo]

I'll be driving from 10-10 today. If you could...PM me your trade offer and we'll go from there. I don't like to check my phone while driving and this way I'll have a reminder when I get home.

[RBbrandon20]

Your request for PM was granted.

Still for sale ????

[seagrasser]

Very nice! Will have to reconsider and put this one back on the table.

[silviarob]

Trade for my supercharged m3?

[TallGuyTurbo]

Love the m3 brother. I'm just worried about the long term reliability with mileage and the blower. Not hating one bit...actually have no clue about those m3's with boost. Whatever car I trade for will have to make a 60 mile round trip commute 5 days a week rain snow or shine.

[TallGuyTurbo]

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n170/tallguyturbo/240finished.jpg

Missing the grill in this shot...obviously it'll have one. Also am looking for replacements for the notorious fiberglass around the sunroof. Car is absolutely spotless and perfect otherwise! Going to get the issues sorted out this week and next week. Then off to an LS1 tuner for go fast goodies, tune, and dyno! Stay tuned....the interior makeover will be as gorgeous as the outside.

[silviarob]

I drive it 3 times a week 120 miles round trip and haven't had a single issue. The head was rebuilt at 100k miles to ensure reliability. Its a conservative car and is an awesome DD. Im in the upstate SC if you ever want to meet up and just check it out.

[ZenkiCam]

Trade for my s13 PLUS the R1 I have listed?

[TallGuyTurbo]

No thanks bud. I got an blacktop s13 thatll be finished after the s14 and motorcycles are of the devil haha...I found out there is such thing "as too much fun"!

[ZenkiCam]

I hear ya man. Car looks absolutely worth what you're asking. I miss my ls1 fc haha

[ka-drifter]

wana trade for my 95 rhd ka-t.......if interested here is a link of a video when i was working on it,,,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15RnApGj14Y.....lmk,,,thanks

[TallGuyTurbo]

No thanks man. Outside of the EVO MR trade that's on the table I don't think I wanna trade the car....would rather sell outright.

[TallGuyTurbo]

Bump! My mechanic found the elusive 95 only water control valve. This car will have fully functioning heat....and eventually A/C and cruise control.

[ralphandthequeen]

beautiful job on the paint. hope you sell her soon!!

[zane]

gorgeous, when are you gonna have the "go fast goodies" completely installed?
Hope you can get what you're asking for it. Glws man.

[TallGuyTurbo]

thanks man. my goal is to have dyno numbers and sheets to post here by the end of the month.

[RACEBREAD]

trade for an 04 sti basic mods exhaust, cobb tuner, and bov 70k miles

[RaidenKing]

Hot damn - what a dream car you have there. I have an 03 Lancer ES 90k on the clock - Most reliable car I've EVER driven - also the slowest. That + 9-10k would probably brighten your day. Let me know

[s13rookie]

people who low ball you dont know what the car is worth and do not deserve the car.. good luck with sale man

what are you? 14 years old?

Hot damn - what a dream car you have there. I have an 03 Lancer ES 90k on the clock - Most reliable car I've EVER driven - also the slowest. That + 9-10k would probably brighten your day. Let me know

This is exactly the type of trade deal I'm looking for! Pics of your car? [email protected]

[TallGuyTurbo]

Still up for grabs at $12,750 firm before it goes to tuner.

[DallasTXjdm]

Nice job on the paint! Love the setup bump!

[96rbs14]

I have a 2004 Pontiac gto with ls1.... Factory car with every option. Has intake, long tube kooks, spintec mufflers and factory tips. Has tsw 18s, and 19s in rear staggered with nitto nto5r on rear and michillen pilots sports on front. Car ran a 8.27 in the 1/8th on stockish 255/40/18 tires...

[ZenkiCam]

Man I still want this car. Trade for a tastefully modded 2004 350z?

What about a 03 Yukon

[DDK]

Sick ride love the Ls swap.

[TallGuyTurbo]

Love the M3 but it looks like we're gonna hold onto this car for a while.

I'm sure it'll be up for sale later this year but right now I think we're gonna enjoy our project for the time being. Too much time and money not to enjoy it for a few months.

[juniorb]

Great job guys! I love what you did with this car.

[TallGuyTurbo]

I have gotten a lot of interest in this car lately. The car is still off the market currently. It'll be available for sale again this fall.

[zane]

you won't want to sell it haha. and when you do.. you'll kick yourself in the ass!
i've entertained the thought of selling my ls kouki and i'll stop driving it for a week or two, get back into it and fall back in love, and it doesnt really have any "go fast" goodies. However, It's getting a nice little snail put on it in the up coming month ;)
anyways, enjoy your car man. seriously, it's a perfect example of what a clean and properly built car should look like.

[ST(I)mpreza]

I still have a boner for this car, maybe this fall!

[s13coupej]

Bottom price to sell cash lmk

[TallGuyTurbo]

I'll be entertaining offers this fall. Thanks for the kind words!

And there is no bottom dollar for this car. Turned down 9k unpainted. It's a quality built machine that's generated tons of interest.

[TallGuyTurbo]

Small update :)

Upstate, got your PM. Will reply when I'm get home.

Still enjoying this one til summers end. I got the "build bug" and will have my other cars up for sale at summers end to with similar build quality as this car. 400whp S13 hatch (I call her Hooligan) and a 600rwhp 300ZX TT.

[seagrasser]

I'll be waiting.

[Karisusama]

Hey let me know if you ever want to part ways with those rims!!!!! Real talk!!! :naughty:

[highlifein909]

I sure like this car, but I dont see 10k. I sure need a car though, and it says make offer. 5k? PM me if you decide to price drop it. If not GLWS for a cool Zenki!

YOU INTERESTED IN TRADE?

[TallGuyTurbo]

Thanks for the interest but I have an sr20 powered s13 already.

[DriftNVa757]

want to work something out for my evo?

[TallGuyTurbo]

I'm not really wanting to trade the car as I have cash offers for the car and don't really want to come out of pocket for anymore car related expenses. But details and offers never hurt me before...so I'm open. What did you have in mind?

[TrueFreshness]

how does 10k sound?

[TallGuyTurbo]

Ive turned down better offers several times. 10k isnt in the ball park. Not even close.

[tvascellaro]

i have a daily driver if you want to trade pm if your interested

[TallGuyTurbo]

Actually just picked up a dd two weeks ago. Only wanting cash right now

[TrueFreshness]

I went back and saw where you said you did some other things to the car. How about 13k?

[TallGuyTurbo]

13k is closer but still not what i want. I put a lot of time and money turning this car around. A lot of these ls1 swaps have quirks and issues....not this one. I went the extra mile gettin every issue fixed.

[MrChow]

Uh this is still around?! I still want it but same story for me bought my s14 for around the same price.. blah

[JohnnyWas]

what a fantastic car!!

[Felonious Caper]

If you've got Dyno numbers I've got 135 100 dollar bills for you

[zane]

If you've got Dyno numbers I've got 135 100 dollar bills for you

:facepalm:

[Felonious Caper]

:facepalm:

And what the fuck is your problem? I browsed every page of this thread as well as other threads by the OP and dyno numbers have never been posted. He wants 16k OR BEST OFFER for a car that is only getting older. 13.5 is the highest offer I've seen (in this thread not sure about PMs) :mephfawk:

Not to mention I've actually got the hard cash in my hands if you want pictures unlike everyone else throwing offers out from their ass.

[Cjkouki2010]

Trade for an 87super sport monte carlo 3rd owner, and knew both previous, 93k original miles, matching numbers etc etc? Jw. Flawless overall and "restored". Lmk 8658980846

[brownsnow2]

FYI, this ad has been dead since 9/2012 and then someone posted an offer in march 2013. Pretty safe to say this car is gone or at least not up for sale anymore.
