Hey Zilvia,
Sorry for the cellphone pics... I'm a workaholic and can't find a good time take pictures. I'll take better pictures this weekend. I need to sell this car pretty fast, and I'm transparently willing to take a hit on it. Willing to sell at $6k OBO, like I said guys, willing to take a hit, I need this gone fast.

Why? Moving to New York, and I might as well try living without a car there.

Car: 1998 Nissan 240sx
Title: Clean
Registration: Updated and smog will be due next year NOV 2015
Color: Pearl White
Mileage: 137k
Located in: South Bay San Diego

Engine Maintenance: Oil has been replaced with Diesel Oil Rotella every 3-4k miles and with a Ford Oil Filter, recently replaced fuel filter three months ago, sparks plugs have been replaced three months ago, spark plug wires have been replaced last year

Suspension: Z33 Wheels, Tein Tie rods, no-name RUCAS, First Gen Powered By MAX Coilovers

Brakes: R33 Skyline GST Brakes all around with Q45 Rotors up front and Z32 Rear Rotors in back. S14 Automatic BMC, almost the same size as Z32 BMC.

Track events: unfortunately, I've never done any track events with this car :[.

Quick Edit:
Drivetrain: Speed Alliance (Vertex USA) Clutch and lightened flywheel, aftermarket engine and transmission mounts

Interior: Vertex Shift Knob and Vertex Shift Boot

Cons:

1) When I was young (and dumb), I did an auto-to-manual transmission swap and messed up the wiring. I did not keep a spreadsheet of what I did back then, so I forgot enough details to not be able to reverse engineer it. As a result, I have a CEL.

2) Also there is a bit of rust on the lower end of the driver side strut tower, I've been told by three body repair shops that it's fixable.

3) I also might have a rear wheel bearing(s) problem, I've had a bad wheel bearing before and it sounds like my car has one again. The rear wheels do not budge after I wiggle them, so I'm guessing only 1 bearing is bad so far out of the 10 (??) that are in there. I already bought rear wheel bearings that you can have, if you decide to purchase this car

4) I've had a bunch of kids (not sure) spray paint my car three years ago, and when I cleaned up my car, the scrubbing messed up my Vertex Lights plastic coating.

Other than that, feel free to message me your questions or display them here. Thank you for reading this far, and once again I'll have pics up of the car around 7:30 PM PST.

Hi there,

Sure, I recently took these pictures today for a potential buyer. Please remember that I've got the short stick, I need to relocate soon. On that note, so negotiate away folks ;].

These are what I consider all the flaws of my car and I've also included pictures of the car in daylight.

To reiterate the flaws of the car, just to be sure and transparent:

1) bad rear wheel bearings but I have replacement on hand
2) CEL because of a dumb mistake I did when I was younger and dumber, but I've had buddies do their magic
3) vertex lights are scratched due to some kids spray painting my car and me cleaning it off in frustration. They're also fogged up due the bad plastic filling/encasing or whatever.
4) dings
5) most importantly, there is rust on the driver side strut tower, there is pictures. I've been told by 3 body repair shops that it's fixable and I've received a quote from a military welder to put new sheet metal there. I wish I can pay to fix it, but I have to relocate like yesterday.


If you're interested in buying the car and also need me to meet you half way Girl Scout Koukis, I can do that I guess. I don't prefer it... It'll have to be this weekend though.

First bump: I've put a link to more pictures of the car in the day time, interior shots, the rust problem, and the engine bay.

Please negotiate with me guys lol, I'm pretty open-minded
