1997 240SX - LS1 Swap - Modified Mag Featured - One Off Build

[95KA-Turbo]

Name Stephen
Location VA Beach
Price $33,000

Please take the time to read what I have written below. I have continuously modified this car for the past 6 years, there's a lot of information to review.

After a long consideration I have decided to put my S14 up for sale. I understand the price is high for most, I am not pressed and certainly don't HAVE to sell this car. A significant amount of time and money has gone into the build, much more then is reflected in the sale price. It has been broken down, transformed, and elevated into something unique that is not easy to obtain – and in fact has parts that simply cannot be obtained. Over two years of blood and sweat were poured into the most extensive portion of the build. More over then that, I poured my entire being into this car; it reflects myself in a way words cannot express. Needless to say the decision to sell it was not an easy one, nor was it made in haste.

I encourage anyone seriously interested in this car to review my blog:

Knoops Blog (http://www.knoop.sumospeed.com)

Also, look through my build thread:

http://zilvia.net/f/builds-builds-only/288367-my-s14-drift-car-build-ls1-content-inside.html


For my asking price, you will get everything I own for the car. This includes a large number of parts. I have done my best to list everything on and off the car.

Exterior:
-GP Sports G Sonic One front bumper (discontinued, to my knowledge the only one in this hemisphere)
-JDM Grill
-Bomex Side skirts
-Modified 'Friends Style' side skirts (slightly damaged)
-JDM rear bumper and URAS valances
-C-West Mini Spoiler
-Seibon carbon trunk (paint matched)
-Seibon carbon hood (paint matched)
-Stage 21 frp hood (one of three in North America)
-JDM rail visors
-Bomex Type 2 Mirrors
-Custom front bumper support/bash bar built by BC at Ramey Built
-Custom fender pull utilizing OEM metal, no metal was added to the outside to create the flair, the rear has a mini-tub (metal was removed from the inside fender panel and new metal was welded in higher up to provide more clearance)
-Porsche Racing Green Metallic paint and body work done by Stock or Modified Body Works

Wheels:
-4X 17X11 +12 Custom BBS RSs (satin black faces and lips with polished bolts)
-2X 17X10.5 +27 Mustang wheels w/ 60% tread 245/40/17 Kenda Tires
-2X 17X10 -18 Sempek Wheels (only ones in the world) w/ 235/40/17 Toyo R1R (have ~4 drift events on them)
-2X 17X11 +0 Sempek wheels (only ones in the world) w/ 75% tread 245/40/17 Kenda tires

Suspension:
-Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers with 10k/9k swift springs, rebuilt in 2011 with very little miles on them
-Parts Shop Max front and rear Knuckles with Wilwood rear e-brake calipers
- Ikeya Formula inner tie rods with tien outer tie rods
- Modified front and rear lower control arms with custom roll center adjusters utilizing 3/4" spherical bearings and Chevy circle track ball joint shanks (I have extra parts for these as well)
-Fortune Auto tension rods, traction arms, and toe arms
-SPL RUCA
-Parts Shop Max rear subframe risers
-Q45 front brakes
-OS Giken front strut bar
-1/8" thick Stainless Steel skid plate that ties in the front subframe, tension rod brackets, and very front of the car. This thing made a huge difference with how the front end feels, and you can bash it into anything without messing the motor up.


Engine/Drivetrain/Engine Bay:
-98 LS1 bottom end with
- ARP rod and main bolts
- Custom 224/224 Lutani cam
- Clevite rod and main bearings
- LQ4 oil pump
- LS2 timing chain

Sikky complete mount kit with:

-Rebuilt F-body T-56 transmission with Spec Stag 3 clutch, SLP lightened flywheel and ARP flywheel bolts
-KA Mishimoto radiator
-Custom fuel system using a Corvette FPR/Fuel Filter and -6AN line

-SPA-Technique Oil Pressure and Water Temperature dual digital gauge

I also have:
-6 brand new 245/40/17 Kenda tires
-Several boxes of miscellaneous S14 and LS parts


It should be noted; this car is not a show car. It has some blemishes and scuffs from tracking it, including two cone shaped scuffs on the LH rear quarter panel. The oil pan has a slight ding in it from hitting a rock at a drift event before the skid plate was in place. The ding is not large, does not leak, and is not near the oil pick up. I have had zero issues with the engine or oiling since it occurred (it occurred the first event I went to after the motor started up). The BBS RSs have been drift spares for a few years and reflect it in their condition, nothing major but minor scuffs and chips in the finishing are present. They have two kinds of center caps, two are the ‘mid caps’ and two are the ‘high caps’. I never ran more then two at a time so I always use the mid caps.

It should also be noted, this is not a street car either. It does not have heat or air conditioning....it doesn't have anything underneath of the dash anymore aside from the custom wiring and fuse box that was done. It does not have the turn signals wired up and the windshield wiper motor is not installed, but I do have it. The headlights and tail lights work, the headlights have 4300K HIDs in them. The factory gauges are not wired up, the speed and tachometer are displayed on the ultra gauge digital display.

I am sure I am leaving some things out. I am more then happy to discuss details of the car with any serious buyers. I am also willing to remove things from the car to lower the price. However, I am not interested in parting the car out at this time. If someone is interested in any parts not on the car (like the BBSs or carbon hood) I am willing to sell them for the right price, and I will adjust the sale price of the car should that occur.

I will take $4500 off the sale price if the buyer is not interested in purchasing it with the custom Sempek wheels.


Trades
I am willing to do a partial trade (I will require cash on top from who I trade with) for the following – and only the following:

R32 GTR
964 911 Carrera 2
S30Z Datsun 240Z

Obviously a number of factors will decide how much money I will require on top. If you have a pristine example of any of those cars and are interested in my S14 please message me and we can go from there.



For those of you who read everything, thank you for taking the time to do so.


I have a ton of photos of the car that can be found on my blog, and for serious buyers I am more then willing to get specifically requested shots and videos. The photos below are the most recent ones I have.

Free bump cos license plate. Awesome car right here,. hope you get what you ask for sir. this build is insane.

[project06tj]

You, sir, win. This car is awesome and has blown my mind.





Absolutely love seeing immaculate, truly fully built cars that are actually driven. It's a rare sight, but wow is it awesome.



Well done

[Cjkouki2010]

[billiam]

Free bump because this is the car that made me want a 240

good luck with sale man

[scooby steve33]

[rb27dets14]

Car has more muscle than that Monte Carlo :) and it's freshhhhhh

[Sforteen]

[t's!]

Some cars just aren't meant to be sold. So awesome OP!

[rb27dets14]

nice car, but 33k seriously?!

Oh it's spectacular but no schassis is worth. 30k.......that's the "I don't wanna sell it price"

[VAs13]

Bump for knoop

[impound]

I'm not even a Nissan guy. I haven't even seen it with Chris's wheels on it in person....but this car is tit's!!! GLWS!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Oh it's spectacular but no schassis is worth. 30k.......that's the "I don't wanna sell it price"

Remember...he's not trying to sell it to everybody, all it takes is 1 person to sell it to.

Either way, goodluck to you Knoops. I still need a damn ride along when I get back!!!

[PIN GIO 2]

this car should sold $25k but i alway loved your build car

[nathanong87]

seen this thing in person, immaculate. turnt up

[bb6lude953]

Not interested in any muscle?

no one wants your shit monte carlo, give it up

[turbo2nr]

end of an era. Awesome car I also seen this car in person its amazing. Sad to see you let her go, but im sure its for bigger and better things.

[rb27dets14]

no one wants your shit monte carlo, give it up



Ha.....I'm sure it's a nice car but I see them showroom condition under 80k miles all original for around $6000

[sidewaysil80]

This car has internet fame and is iconic. Good luck my friend.

[INeedNewTires]

i've seen several S-chassis go for this much and more! Can't remember who but a few years ago there was a black kouki with RB26 and Do-Luck wheels went for 45k!

best of luck selling it man, its a gorgeous car i say ask more. Broke zilvia kids aren't going to buy it anyway you're going to find a wealthy enthusiast who can appreciate how much time custom work takes.

[Flicktitty]

end of an era. Awesome car

My thoughts exactly, GLWS

[Japanese Classics]

Goodluck with the sale Stephen, it's a very well built car.

[drscooper]

good luck saw in person long time ago in vabeach old days! good luck with sale.

[riphamra]

Man I loved this car, I remember this car off of youtube.

[Spring Break '92]

I will co-sign for tbis car. Ive known Knoop for almost six years, and he is an awesome guy. This car truly is built well and is amazing in person.

[tylerdurden]

Love this car. Wish I could buy. GLWS

[kaane]

great car, but no chance to get 33K, i am sure it's worth it, there is just no buyers for S chassis in that kind of price range. People that could afford it would never consider it.

[titangts]

great car, but no chance to get 33K, i am sure it's worth it, there is just no buyers for S chassis in that kind of price range. People that could afford it would never consider it.

Agree, $33k it should be making at least 1000whp, best brakes money can buy and so on. But still no doubt an awesome car. I would keep it and enjoy it at that point.

[blueshark123]

I really want to see what this car sells for so I can get a estimate of what to sell mine if i decide 2. Good luck on sale bro

[pinoysurf]

No dyno graph?

[va240dude]

NO KNOOP NOOOO! Whoever gets this car will be blessed :) GLWS man.

[sidewaysil80]

Take more pics, the light shots while cool conceal the awesomeness.



Not interested in any muscle?
Eat shit and die

[zenkiset]

makes me sad to see this :/. this is the car that made me buy an s14. bump for my zoo keeper friend, Knoop.

[my750]

What do you do for a living because this college thing better fucking pay off

[hatchtastic]

33k is a bit steep but to replicate this car on a chassis this clean you will spend more than that by far. Alsoi think with the web fame it has and just the quality alone he will get somewhere in the range he is asking. I have seen Sr s14's go for 25k. As a matter of fact there was one that sold in az about a year ago like that. Op you have an fantastically built car. It's probably going to take forever to sell but I think you willget your asking price

[Hatemy7]

Wow this has the best 240 ive ever seen!!!

Glwts

[510erv]

This thing is so dope glwys

[Mopagan]

Whats the going rate for a kidney these days... damn this is nice.bump for you

[wait4it]

240sx with a ls1, ls7, gods motor....nah, a couple grand more and c6 z06 with the all mighty ls7 with no mods.... yeah sure. a big maybe if it were a m3, s2000 with a ls7. I can see 15k max without wheel and it will still take time for it to sell with lots and lots of lowballs and flakers, plan b is to part it out.

[driftthis]

Also, don't sell the car to the guy that bought sidewaysil80's S14...lol.

You're talking about full_locks car and it wasn't even listed for anything close to $45k and it sold for in the $20's.


Good luck Knoop, you're car is an icon and well worth it for one of the best LSx built S-chassis in the scene.

[denian_cellphone]

ohh laawdd what an amazing piece of machinery...glws :bow:

[95KA-Turbo]

I appreciate all of the kind words guys. I don't expect this to be a quick sale.

For those of you saying an S-chassis isn't worth 30k. I had someone offer me that when I got it right out of paint (pre-Sempek wheels, pre rear PBM rear knuckles, pre Stage21 hood, and pre Zeta III) and the timing just wasn't right, I hadn't been able to enjoy it yet. I'm sure the right buyer will eventually come along, I just need to figure out the best place to list it as I honestly don't expect anyone on here to purchase it, haha.

Do feel free to comment about anything though, it bumps my thread. :naughty:

[joe645733]

Hmmm, this or a newer ZO6

Did they show you cash?
Amazing machine, too steep of a price tho I hope you get 30k for it just bc you seem like cool guy.

[k240sx]

You have a Nice and clean LXs 240sx sir

And really i do enjoy mine as well !!

Glws

[fliprayzin240sx]

Hmmm, this or a newer ZO6

You send me a PM when you find a C6 Zo6 for less than $35k that isnt high mileage or rebuilt title.

[sidewaysil80]

Also, don't sell the car to the guy that bought sidewaysil80's S14...lol.
No shit LOL. I cringe everytime I look at the feature plaque to think of what its been reduced to now.

Did they show you cash?
Amazing machine, too steep of a price tho I hope you get 30k for it just bc you seem like cool guy.
Trust me...dude didn't need to show cash. If you take the time to actually add up everything (assuming you put a price on the invaluable stuff) you'll see its cleary worth what he is asking. Not to mention factor in labor hours involved in all the custom fab work/r&d.

Its the only s-chassis I've seen that literally moistens womens panties when they get near it (or tightens dudes draws).

[STL240SXDRIFT]

BUmp...for Knoop Beast Car

[Rampage]

Even if this beauty gets sold, please don't delete this thread. This is such a unique and amazing car hat reflects it owner. Honestly, this should be a sticky on how to properly build a 240. One day I hope I'm as content with my Kouki as you are with yours. Bump for you sir! GLWS

How does it feel to be 31 and unable to put together a cohesive sentence?


Price is well worth it; The wheels are easily 7k alone.

[youradumb1]

lol well I can add ..7k wheels on a 12k car dosnt =33k keep riding his nuts though ..he will need it

[xoxide]

lol well I can add ..7k wheels on a 12k car dosnt =33k keep riding his nuts though ..he will need it

Just shut the fuck up, peasant.

Is it really only children are who considering this a good deal?


Or perhaps, more likely, people of all ages who understand the planning, resources, time, dedication, and true ingenuity that has gone into this car. Either you're upset you can't afford to build anything of this caliber, or you're upset you can't buy this. No need to draw comparisons to what people can spend their money on. I think everyone is well aware they can buy whatever they want.

Does anyone who would consider dropping serious money on a highly modified car really care what their wife's parents think? You must own some awesome cars if you're taking your mother-in-law's opinion into account before buying one.

I do not see any point trying to be proven by your post. Is it that you'd rather have this vs that? I thought this was a car for sale thread, not a side by side comparison. If your point is that this car isn't worth the asking price, in your opinion, that's cool. Maybe just say that next time; not like it makes a lick of difference to anyone.

Who wants to buy a house on zilvia anyway?

[One tire fire]

I have a ground up restoration 280z for trade.

L28 fully built forged aria internals with ported and polished head and triple webers header and magnaflow exhaust
5speed transmission out of a zx turbo car less than 3k miles on everything.

Full custom suspension ground control coil overs with techno toy tuning adjustable a-arms, bigger sway bars, 4 wheel big disk brakes. Has a roll bar set up in back. Car was taken down to bare metal.

[rb27dets14]

I've learned my lesson with this...I've been there with. 40k into a 12k car never pays you back and just think of the vehicle possibilities you could buy for 33k...it's almost endless...at this point I'd save myself alot of $ and buy alot more car like a cl65 or e55....

[dizzariot]

...within the first post you already get 2 new guys talking shit about the price. Zilvia never ceases to amaze me. Good thing I already have no faith left in humanity.


I've loved this car ever since I laid eyes on it. I think it was Sempek's website that I first saw it on. Beautiful. I'm sure you have your reasons for selling but I'd lose sleep over this if I got rid of it.


GLWS.

[codyace]

Anyone saying the car isn't worth it, doesn't have the cash to buy the wheels. Anyone saying it's overpriced hasn't ever built a shit in their own toilet on the same level.

GLWS. Every poser ass kid wants a car like yours, yet not one of them understands the time, patience, ability, skill, and cash...to replicate it.

What is sempek wheels.? Have we not learned that you don't ever get the amount of money and times worth of work back when selling your car.
Poser kids are just posers, op built this for his own liking, any potential buyer is going to end up changing stuff on this car for their liking.

Sempek are a new brand, but they are a forged 3 piece setup. American made at that, really nice stuff.

I'm also very aware that you never get back what you put into a car; in the same regard I know people will spend 10k more than his asking price to replicate it, only to (most often) come up broke or without a car nearly as good.

In the end, I hope he gets a fair price for the car, and wish that people would save their 'oh man that's too much' comments for something else, as they are the same people who don't even remotely understand the true cost of building a car like his, both on the monetary end and or time/labor end. I'll never get a third of the money/time/effort for my own car, but I'd list it for the same price, see what sticks ya know?

(I was also shit hammered drunk when I wrote the first post, little too much whiskey woops!)

[VegasDrifterS13]

Gorgeous Car. These Fools are Delerious. Someone will cash you out on this car. Every penny of 33k.

To the Simpleton Dreamer Jealous Haters on his thread, Keep droolin and being mad. The real reason for your anger is the realization that you imagine your car this way, but you lack the discipline in life to do what it takes to build a car like this. Finish School, Get a Career, Buy a house, Buy tools, mature A LOT, Build your own Car, Come back to this forum in 10 years after all that then worry about whos Car is worth what they want for it.

Everyone is a Mirror of self. What you dislike about others are simply a reflection of what you see in them that you dont like about yourself. So when you Hate, stop and think, damn, thats what i need to change.

Peace and Love To all my Grown S-Chassis Owners. Happy Holidays.

That 'never get what you put in' is bullshit. I don't believe it for one second. It's unlikely, yes, but it only takes one keen eye to recognize worth/value.

Can you cunts stop reminding him? I'm sure that at $33k he isn't even getting what he put into it so there's no need to remind the guy.

[95KA-Turbo]

Thanks guys, and yes, there is obviously quite a bit more then 33k in this car...lol.

[scott883]

Wow funny to see people flame a thread cause there income tax check bought them a hatch that they can't afford to build... This car is awesome and very well put together I see stock kouki sell for 12grand this motor setup and fab work is well over 12 grand, pls all the extra shot he's offering... So to the idiots over here on broken dreams ruining the prices of 240s by claiming every 240 is worth 1500 bucks you can all eat shit. Op will cash out and make someone who can admit they can't build a car this nice real fucking happy! Wish all the idiots would stop low balling our cars so we can actually make a quarter of the money we put into it back... This car has easily more then asking price in it! Glws op!

Awesome car. OP obviously has more than $33k into the build. But that's how the modding game goes. You never get that back. My main question is...

How do you remove the oil filter without getting oil everywhere?? Lol

And honestly, one could have $100k into a car, that doesn't mean it will sell for $75k. The market will determine the value. IMHO, just the car without all the expensive wheels (Which the OP should sell separately) should go for $18-$22k just from looking at the pics and build sheet. Hard to say without seeing the actual car. So with that said, with the $7k in wheels in the asking price, OP isn't far off

[spooled240]

^a grocery bag works wonders lol

Car is definitely one of the iconic s14's on here. Very unique!

My only criticism is the brakes..why q45's when you can do a full evo/sti brembo swap for about 1200? Extremely functional and it would be a good selling point

CLean Car man!! Makes me want a 240, GLWS

[eek]

Awesome car. OP obviously has more than $33k into the build. But that's how the modding game goes. You never get that back. My main question is...

How do you remove the oil filter without getting oil everywhere?? Lol


Thanks man, since the filter is at the highest point in the engine bay, all of the oil drains out before I unscrew it. It has a few small drips, but that's about it.


^a grocery bag works wonders lol

The Q45 brakes are plenty powerful enough to stop the car. I'm not doing grip driving and therefore have never had brake fade or anything like that occur. Larger brakes and rotors = more unsprung weight so I just stuck with the Q brakes since they got the job done. I'd do a Wilwood set up if I did change the brakes.


Thanks for the bumps guys.

Oh it's spectacular but no schassis is worth. 30k.......that's the "I don't wanna sell it price"

have you seen what these cars can do with an ls swap?

[K3Drifting]

damn this is sick

[BLKWOLF]

curious in how much of this car 20K would get.

Is it possible to return it to any kind of a daily driver at this point, by installing the heat/ac. maybe some sound deadening for a sound system again? basically be able to take it to the course and enjoy the drive home?

This car is worth every penny.

Hope you get as near to 33k as possible bud. You deserve it.

Its a Cool looking Machine. After looking over the build thread there were things that could have been upgraded and so on. Shit is rad for sure, but the type of people it attracts they just dont have even $15,000 laying around. Its basically a track car.

I'm almost $30,000 in parts Alone with My LSX s14 with an 800hp LS. Every nut and bolt is new. With that being said I wouldnt get $18,000 if i was lucky.

Imo $16,000 maybe someone could get a personal loan but a Part out is a must to get anything over that as i did on my last s chassis.

Wish OP best of luck,

I am in the market for a s14 s15 Lsx/2jz caged. Full drift spec for 18-20k.
Any one has one?

[JDMness]

Did you ever get the e-brake installed knoop?

[95KA-Turbo]

I appreciate the sentiments and comments. The price is what it is, someone will pay for the car or I'll keep it. If I get completely sick of it I'll be parted out before I sell it for any more of loss then its already priced at.


I should note that the BBS RS wheels are sold, so if purchased without any wheels its 24K. Not too hard to knock the price down lower by removing a few extra parts unnecessary to drive the car.

[solle]
