turbo_dreams
09-03-2014, 12:37 AM
Never thought I'd see the day but all good things must come to an end. Up f/s is my fully built 91 Nissan 240sx. Car's been stripped top to bottom by me and my family at Tarmac motorsports in Farmingdale Ny for the past near decade. I got this car as a shell when I was 15, 9 years later she's done. However, the turbo's recently gone and I just don't have the passion or time to fix her, I run a business 5 days a week including weekend and am going back to school.
Rough specs: Fully built Ka-t/Vmount/Aem/5lug/Endless 6piston bbk/Type X everything (even the quarter panel lights were deleted for an exact rep)/R888 tires (Only comparison would be Neovas)/Lightbar headlight setup/Tubs/Really quiet and rare fujitsubo exhuast/Full wire tuck and fuse box/Full suspension/5lug/q45 rear for longer gearing up top
Here's a breakdown of what I've spent through the years (Turbo setup isn't added on this list since you'd need a new turbo)
Wheels/Tires: $2500
Brakes: $4200
Engine bay restoration: $2500
Ferrari California Blue paintjob: $4500
Full oem Type X aero/brackets minus the lip: $1000
Rps13 Type X taillights: $600
Engine Build (Parts/Machining/Labor): $4500
Aem v2/All sensors: $1600
Tein Flex coils: $1300
1000cc i.d injectors: $800
Seam seals grinded/Sound deadening dry iced/all seams stitch welded: $800
Two red discontinued Bride buckets: $1300
Nagasia rails: $350
Wire tuck/Brand new boat waterproof fuse box (Deleted all the useless wires/no wires in the wheel wells): $1200
Off road custom light bar l.e.d headlight/fabrication: $600
Rucas/toe rods/hotchkin sway bars front and back/es bushings/Nismo powerbrace: $1150
Fujitsubo legalis R/Downpipe/test pipe: $1800
Driveshaft shop one piece driveshaft: $400
Vmount setup (Koyo rad for an Rx7/Aluminum i.c for an Ae86/Aluminum piping/Fabricated by TMSPL, parts from 240motoring): $1600
Tial wastegate/bov: $550
LS2 coilpack/custom bracket/fabrication/Msd universal wires: $600
Q45 diff/300Z axles/5lug (Ichiba front/300z rear)/labor: $1,300
Total: $35,150. This doesn't include many misc things along with alot of labor. Before anyone says it, I know we don't go into this hobby ever expecting what we spent back. However, this should give you an idea that no corners were cut and with that being said, I'd let this go for $14,000.
That's less than half of what I've spent, not including the car itself along with many misc parts. I'm located in Jamaica Queens ny, you can contact me at 3475495890. New turbo and a tune and you're at 500hp on pump gas easily.

First day with my new 5lug/wheel/tire/brake setup and my daily got a flat. The irony.
Specs on wheels,
F: 18x9.5 +15
225/30/18 Toyota r888
R: 18x9.5 +22
245/35/18 Toyota r888
I haven't got more than 1k miles on them and paid $1300 for the wheels and a little over 1k for the tires.

Fast forward a few years to when I got my 6piston Endless bbk with 15" rotors right before my 5lug swap:
http://i.groupme.com/612x612.png.af4c3079a4d94618ab18eab9c86e7b2c
Originally made for an M45, I got custom brackets made for it to fit my S13. Brakes are discontinued however Vivid Racing still sells pads and rotors for it. Although I've just got new pads less than 800 miles ago (Pads alone were $500 shipped). These project mu's are the same exact specs from piston sizes down to the price,
