MAY 31, 2016: CAR IS SOLD: Traded for a new Daily, a nice 2013 Civic SI Sedan with a touch under 40k! Ill surely miss it, but now I have motivation to continue working on my 1972 Datsun 240Z
May 13, 2016 : YES, THE CAR IS STILL AVAILABLE !
My Goals and Needs have changed somewhat, Thus, I am really back to trying to make something happen and part ways with my S14R. I recently lost my Acura RSX Type S in an accident, so I need to trade/sell my 240sx for something a bit newer and simpler that i dont mind driving everyday. I LOVE driving my 240SX daily and have been recently, but obviously it's a shame to have it as a DD when it really deserves to be something MORE
Im interested in Civic Si's, BRZ/FRS, Acuras, Subarus, MazdaSpeeds, GTOs.. I'd entertain anything really... even a few 2 seaters..i.e. S2000s, 350Zs (HR only) etc... LITERALLY ANYTHING would be considered as long as it's an equivalent value.
I have a trade for a Civic SI Sedan that I am pretty excited about, but obviously anything will be considered until a deal is done!!.
Now, on to the goods!!
I looked very hard to find a car that was worth purchasing, having owned a swapped S-Chassis back in 2003-2005, i knew exactly what i wanted when this car was acquired.

The Car is pictured here on SSR Competition Type C - 17x8.5 +22 with 255/45/17s and Rear SSR Competition Type C - 17x9.5 +30 with 275/40/17 BF Goodrich tires... These will not be included in the sale, unless buyer makes a good offer for them and I choose to accept. The car will come with OEM S14 SE wheels and tires. Also pictured is the Nardi Gara D Sport Steering wheel. This will be switched out with a nice NRG piece prior to sale.
The car is Solid, and is a really great foundation for a life long car for the right enthusiast. That was my original plan. Its turn key reliable; I drive it everywhere anytime i want; the Custom FEAL coilovers have made it handle anything with ease yet still retain a FANTASTIC ride quality. Every link on the car is adjustable. I ultimately planned to replace the ISIS and Cusco pieces with VooDoo13 to match the rest, and to be able to use Standard thread heim replacements since Metric stuff is hard to come by and isnt available in quality examples like QA1 or RuffStuff or more.... VooDoo13 stuff is NICE.
The motor runs extremely strong; I typically keep the boost sitting around 12, with spikes to 13, and it is extremely quick. The S15 SR feels like it has so much more torque than my s13 had; this thing will really suck you back in your seat. I have the BOV recirculating at the moment which obviously greatly improves how the car feels when just driving around town or on the highway....
The interior is PERFECT. There are no cracks in the dash, I recently replaced both the Center HVAC trim and the Radio Bezel with Brand new OEM Nissan Pieces. The carpet is in good shape, the Seats are all in amazing shape. The interior really is as good as one could be at this age.
The car does need a few things. Mainly, Paint. It is painted in OEM Ultra Red, but age has had its toll on it; the hood and front bumper have spots of clear peeling and there are a few dings on the car with the worst being a small dent above the driver's rear wheel arch.
The fenders have all been rolled very cleanly. The car does have all of the OEM Nissan optional lips including the Rear Aprons and Side Skirts. The OEM Kouki Front lip has a crack in it on one corner from hitting a small animal once night, but is easily repairable.
Other than paint, the car could use a rear Subframe lockdown kit or new OEM rubber subframe bushings; with really sticky tires on the car one can hear and feel that they are just tired. The Ebrake Cables need adjustment to be just right and there is small power steering drip coming from an aged hose that just needs to be swapped out.
Its truly a great Kouki, and with paint and a few things here and there, will be a perfect car. It's had all of the important stuff done, and then some.
$14,000 or best offer on Stock SE Wheels and NRG Wheel.
Located in Narrows, VA.
Trade Offers Welcome, but i'm pretty geared towards Honda S2000's. Other interests include 93-96 Rx7s, Z32 TT's, and more.
