History:

I purchased the car in January 2009 from the third owner with 164k miles on the odometer. The previous owner took extremely good care of the car, and I have done my best to do the same. This car is my daily driver. It is extremely reliable and has driven a few 7+ hour trips with no problems. It DOES NOT get drifted. I have hit the rev limiter twice, in first, otherwise it never goes above 6k and even that is rare. I am not 100% set on getting rid of this car. I do not want to sell it locally as seeing it drifted into the ground would devastate me. If you buy this car and drift it, I will probably have you sign a waiver stating that under no circumstance am I to see pictures of it being drifted or abused. This car is very pleasant to drive. It does not leak or smoke. The only spots you will see on the ground is water from the A/C. The motor is extremely healthy and pulls hard. I am looking for cash, but will consider trades. I have looked at the prices of other S14's on Zilvia and feel that my price is very fair considering the amount of work that has gone into it.

The overall condition of the car is clean. Being a 20 year old car, the exterior is certainly showing its age. I would definitely say it is the biggest flaw on the car. The car is one color, although the clear coat has started peeling up in the past year. It is especially bad on the sides of the hood/top of the front fenders, roof, and along the top of the doors. There are a few dents. The car is pretty low, and it used to rub the fenders when turning even slightly(still does at full lock). On the drivers side, this eventually wore the inside of the rolled lip completely through, at which point it started catching on the tire, making a god awful noise. I cut it off inside, but as the wheel continued to rub before I raised it enough to almost completely alleviate the issue, the cuts spread to the outside of the lip, forming a small "flap". On the passenger fender, there is a dent between the front of the wheel arch and corner light. While doing the engine swap I was leaning over the car working on something in the bay and didn't pay attention to the fact that I was bracing myself with my knee, forming the dent that never would pop out(PDR could probably take care of it). The front lip is cracked, which is normal, but doesn't look terrible. There is a scuff on the front passenger corner of the bumper, and a large scuff and crack on the passenger corner of the rear bumper from someone backing into the car at my old apartment complex.

The interior is very clean. I'd say 8/10 in its current condition due to 2 cracks above the gauge cluster on the dash. However, I have a mint, uncracked dash I've been meaning to put in. The interior is where I originally put in the most work. Back in 2009 I removed everything in the interior and filled in all of the dead space with expanding foam. This helped tremendously with road noise and made the car sound more solid altogether. I dyed the carpet as well, although it has faded over time. The doors are completely covered in Dynamat on the inside. When I say completely, I mean completely. There is also sound deadening under the rear seats and in the trunk. The door panels are in excellent condition, and I recently re-did the inserts with very nice quality leather to go with the front leather seats(rear clotch SE seats). The leather seats are in great condition and only show a little wear. I installed the s14 JDM Digital Climate Control in Dec 2012. I did it the correct way, which requires removing the dash to add two pins to a plug for 20% recirc and 20% fresh functions, so this is a fully functioning install. There really is too many things to list on the interior, as a lot of it is little stuff that no one ever thinks about.

The motor was purchased in February of 2012. It was originally an automatic motor, meaning it is very unlikely that it was beat on. It was/is extremely clean. I replaced most of the exterior gaskets before putting it in. I also scrubbed every inch with a tooth brush before installation. It has always been changed with Mobil 1 oil and a Mobil 1 filter every 3500 miles. The air conditioning blows really cold, and the cruise control works flawlessly. The heat currently does not work as the heater core started leaking and I just looped the hoses. When I install the new dash I fully intend on replacing it.

In 2010 I had the notorious fuel tank crack. I attempted to fix it to no avail. I purchased a brand new gas tank from Nissan and replaced all of the fuel hoses while I was there.

The suspension and drivetrain is all in excellent shape. I recently installed new brake pads. The engine is almost fully tucked. The fuse box has been relocated to inside the passenger fender(been running it that way for 4 years with no problems). All of my wiring is done right. I don't use any butt connectors. The electric fans were completely rewired as the one that worked off the original plug stopped working after the swap. I have one fan running off an adjustable fan controller( the knob is located near the hood latch pretty stealthily), and the other is run off the A/C. The wiring for these fans run into the fuse box using OEM relays and fuses. When you pop the cover off, you can't tell they were added in. I hate loose wires. The harness is properly raised/tucked/loomed from where it comes out of the firewall forward. You will never rub it. The power steering uses a custom aluminum reservoir with AN lines, with an AN bung welded to the flange on the pump, and a SS high pressure line and low pressure line to the rack. The bay was repainted, although it's not a high dollar job. It does look good and has received complements. The valve cover was hydrodipped by Zilvia member Silviaks2nr about 2 years ago. I was very meticulous about the engine bay, and I believe it shows.

Issues:

As already stated, the biggest issue is the exterior. It is not as bad as it could be for a 20 year old vehicle, but it also isn't as great as it could be.
The car idles fine. It does not die or sputter. However, when you've cranked it up while cold and have driven til it warms up, it idles a little high at about 1350rpm. After you've shut it off and start it back up, it idles perfectly at 800rpm. I've set the idle numerous times. I believe it is an issue with the IACV itself, although I don't think it is dead since it idles fine.
As stated, the heater currently does not work due to a leaking heater core. I plan on fixing this though.

These photos were taken a little while back. The engine bay looks the same, with the exception of the BOV being recirculated now:

These were taken today and yesterday. The car is filthy as it is parked under a tree. It has pollen and bird shit all over it. I apologize, I will be washing and detailing it this week and will upload better pictures:

Feel Free to ask any questions. I can get more pics if interested. Please keep any negative comments to yourself. It is not my problem that you can't afford it. I live in Florida, surrounded by thousands of shitbox 240's that would be more on your level if you are too broke/cheap.

I have uploaded a few more detailed pictures. The car is covered in pollen, so I will take more once I have washed and detailed it.
