1997 Nissan 240SX LE S14 SR20

[feedthafire]

I have to sell this car before i go to jail or kill my self. It can be found on Ebay. I will post current pictures of it tomorrow.

I have purchased it since video was filmed and done nothing but fix stupid cut corner problems that should have been address awhile ago. If you are local feel free to come check it out.

The ebay pics are current of today, the video visual of the car is out dated.

[Krazykouki]

People paying over 8k for a "modded" or "stock" 240 make me laugh. Sucks that you got sucker into one. GLWS.

If you need any additional parts to fix up the car or a competent mechanic contact Bernie (NoVA) (http://zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=12784) since you're in VA. GLWS.

I thought this was a car community, why is there such hatred on this car? It has done nothing wrong for me, I have had several 240s and this is not a bad car by any means. When i say corners were cut i mean very minor items such as poor moutning and placement of catch can, poor choices of wiring and vacuum hose routing.. very minor things that i did do clean the car up and get near complete as possible. If you are a potential buyer of the car please go find it on ebay and bid, there is no price currently as it is auction style. If does not sell on ebay i will tack a price on here and sell out right. If you are local you are more than welcome to come see the car and ride in it for your self. Also thanks THEDEADKING for the contact if needed. Please keep negative comments away. Also FYI KRAZYKOUKI mentioned something about paying over 8k for whatever 240s, my reserve is lower than you assumed what i have even paid for the car. If you are a buyer then please buy, if you are hear to talk negative then i please ask that you message me and discuss your concerns with me personally. I have no bad blood with any one and i am a car enthusiast, i hope you guys are as well.

I don't get what's wrong with the car... All it is, is small things is it not?

[feedthafire]

Exactly, I have already fixed a handful of minor/small problems. Only a few remain. But the car runs and drives great. I only bring it up trying to be honest and not withhold any info.

[mewantkouki]

This car is a piece of shit. Burn it.
Or somebody here can bring it back to life.

[saadyrt]

I like it.http://webb.erebook.com/1.jpg

[feedthafire]

What does bring it back to life mean?

Carbon hood needs paint match. Battles are beat up on the edges. I have a set of work meisters i could thrown for 3k, brand new.

[97kouki1]

Hmmmm, what all problems are there with the car other than cosmetic ones?

[feedthafire]

Here is a list of the problems:
-Trunk has to be opened with key, the dyno mat has appeared to be too thick and keeps the striker plate about 2 mm to far from the releasing mechanism. I have confirmed this by getting gin the trunk and watching it and comparing it to a friends stock 240. So it it does not open from the release beside the driver seat, but does via key.

-HVAC system does not work as it has slowly been started to convert from the stock to the JDM Digital Climate Control, it cuts on and gets power but does not control anything yet. Also its bezel should be put back to factory as it has been cut to hold gauges.

-The steering shaft from the column rubs on the down pipe slightly giving you a small feel of vibration in the steering wheel.

- There is a clunk coming from the rear, i am told its because its after market. I know its not stock or welded.

- With this cold weather the battery in it struggles to start the car but it does start it.

- I daily drive on waste gate, i haven't even touch the boost controller since buying it. I just relocated it to the ashtray so its a hideaway.

-The windshield wipers were hardwired to a switch on the steering column pod ( no clue why)

-Driver side window motor is weak, rolls window up slow.

-Driver door needs adjustment or new hinge, has play from its age you can feel like when you shut the door.



Here are 2 things i was going to do next but i don't have the time, finish the Digital climate control, finish deleting the charcoal canister eval tank that is still under the passenger rear quarter, I'm picky and i want a nice aftermarket fan of the aftermarket radiator ( has some stock fan shitty mounted to it). Other than that if i have forgot something i will post it but i daily drove it just like this 150 miles a day ( my job is 75 miles one day) and back for 2 months with out a break down. This cost me way to much in fuel to keep doing so I will buy some stupid Honda for my commute. If you are a serious buyer and have further questions please call 804 536 4167 call to ask or chat, come check it out. If so it can be found on ebay, thats where is it for sale right now and its very close to its reserve. I am not taking offers or trades right now unless it doesn't sell on ebay.

Trade for is300 manual check my thread.

[Cjkouki2010]

I've seen koukis that had 30k invested and sold for low 20's, obviously a stock one depending on specs won't go over 10k right now and I'm talking heavily modified obviously as well, but that argument is invalid af. This game is strictly Supply and demand now

[feedthafire]

Well i really don't want much for mine, its about basically at its reserve now.

[feedthafire]

Tons of great offers

[feedthafire]

4000 ebay views and 56+ watchers....... Hope to meet reserve

[rb27dets14]

Car looks very saveable.....easy

[feedthafire]

^^^^^ what exactly does that mean??

[rb27dets14]

It means the car needs work but isint something to be overlooked because of the work it does need...it's not for me I like the car minus the hood but I dispise sr20s...

[Bmx240sx]

Don't get why everyone I bashing on the car like it has demon possessed powers.. Every car on this forum needs work done to it what's the big deal..

Ok, just weird the word savable is used. I been int he RX7 game for a while, when I say a RX7 is savable I am usually referring to a failed, lS or 2jz swap with missing interior. Not a running driving car with complete interior... I guess thats just how 240 people use the world.

Keep in mind that you're dealing with the poor car community now. This isn't a nice, educated, respectable car group like the RX-7 crowd.

On a side note, you set yourself up incorrectly from the start. You should just post a standard for sale thread with ALL facts, no opinions or emotions. This car is fine, but from the first sentence I was thinking "I bet this car has problems" when I should have been thinking "I wonder what color it is". Ebay was a good idea though and good luck.

[feedthafire]

Agreed, I did set my self up for failure. I just got ahead of my self instead of taking my time to make a proper thread. I really don't have much knowledge about 240s like I said I come from the rx7 world. This was a experiment for me and I'll stick to rx7s but it was a very fun car! I wouldn't mind a all stock 97 or 98.

[silviasandbeer]

Before you attack the community, keep in mind, OP said he needs to sell before he kills him self or goes to jail. Before posting any pictures or details up. So we assumed the worst .

Op don't kill yourself. That's not Koo

[feedthafire]

Haha yes i was joking about jail or death in this car. I was going to post the eBay link to provide the pics and info. Then I realized that posting ebay link is not authorized... my bad, my fault. I should have done a better job.
