SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









The time has come to sell the project. This is a 1996 Nissan 240sx which I have been building over the last year. It is a full conversion, turning a 240 into a street legal 350z. The major stuff is done, and its very drivable, the only stuff left is cosmetic and 1 item not working. I had full intentions to CARB this car, and it has all parts necessary to do so. Once the speedo is fixed, you can take it to the ref and get it to pass, all parts are CARB legal. Please PM me or respond to the thread with any questions on the build. The car is 10.6k and there is a little wiggle room in the price but no low ball offers please. Most everything in this car is very high quality and despite some minor cosmetic issues, the car runs awesome and there is well over 15k in parts alone. This was meant to be a daily driver and a weekend track car. It is currently registered on a clean title until August but not legal to drive until smogged. I planned on doing this once finishing the speedo issue and taking it to the ref to be BARed. It will need to be towed or driven on a day pass (which I have) *with the intention to smog it PM me or call/txt at 951-663-125two if interested, serious offers only.

The bads:
- fenders, doors, and rear bumper are different colors with some dents and scratches and the dash molding (fiberglass work) isn't perfect (I planned on doing a matte black vinyl)
- wheels are g35 beaters, still 18in but a little beat up, one is scratched but still true
- the front is a different color red paint because the car had a kouki conversion on it which was taken off but I had planned to wrap the car with vinyl so it was no big deal to me, you can do the same pretty inexpensively
-The speedo isn't working, all the correct sensors are in place on the rear diff, including the abs computer from a 350z but the abs computer is still throwing rear sensor codes (they may just need to be replaced)


The rest is all good. Here is a list of what is in the car:

new water pump

new head bolts and head gaskets at 75k

i can buy a clean 350z for 10000. i understand you have a lot of time and money into it, but i doubt you will ever get near 10k for this.

While I respect your opinion, this is basically a clean 2005 350z in my opinion in a much better and lighter chassis. And your clean 350z won't have upgraded brakes, all links, spacer, seat, high end coilovers, new head gaskets, or any of the other tons of upgrades this car has. Heck, the LSD alone was over 1000 new. Seems I see "clean" zenkis and koukis on here going for almost 7k, non swapped. All this car needs is paint and some baller wheels and you probably wouldn't have blinked at a 12 or 13k price tag. Nehoo, thanks for the opinion but I think 10.6k is completely fair.

Thanks for looking!
