View Full Version : CA FS: 98' Kouki w/ v8 swap
S14_drift junkE
02-20-2016, 03:42 PM
1998 Nissan 240sx Kouki $8000 with no wheels or $9000 with. CLEAN title in hand
*Car is babied. I literally drive it about 2-3 days a week and thats at a max of 45 mph and about 3k RPMS.
Since car is out of state, this is what you need. smog and vin verification. Smog, no big deal, everyone had a guy. Vin verification can be done at AAA, DMV, or CHP. Now don't be dumb and go to CHP. I've done many of these at both AAA and DMV. Those people already have no clue. They take the title run the vin to make sure it's not stolen. Then double check the vin on the door and vin under the hood matches title. Boom, done that easy. That is the only extra step in buying an out of state car for you Cali guys.
Engine:
1994 (s2) VH45DE w/ 120kish. (metal timing chains)
Rebuilt injectors by deatschwerks
Custom 1.75" stainless long tube headers into Y pipe
3" Straight pipe with no cats or mufflers (exhaust is leaking from flex pipes bottoming out on things)
Fuel:
255 Walbro
Exterior:
Less than 2yr old paint job. Color is whitest white from the LFA
(minor chips from being a daily)
USDM Lip (minor scrapes underneath from driveway)
Interior:
Stock with an UNCRACKED dash.
Carpet is okayish.
Trunk is stripped (no carpet or plastics)
Speedo and tachometer read double
(could use a Dakota converter, but i never cared).
Cooling:
Aluminum radiator with e-fans
Suspension/Drivetrain
Tein coils up front/Cusco in the rear
1 piece steel drive shaft
Short shifter w/ bronze bushings
Z32 NA Transmission
KAAZ 2 way diff
Less than 1k on
ACT 6puck clutch/pressure plate (525ft.lbs)
Fidnanza Lightweight flywheel
OEM throw out bearing/sleeve
OEM pilot bushing
New pivot ball
Aftermarket Cast clutch fork and new dust boot
Wheels
Wedsport SA-70's powder coated candy blue (all have minor rash)
18x9+20 (+15 with 5mm spacer)
18x10+18 (+13 with 5mm spacer)
There are very minor issues, car has a slight misfire....I ran the diagnostic on the Ecu again and it is throwing a code for knock sensor. I assume one could be starting to fail. This is a cheap fix, just a tad time consuming. ..Doesnt effect drivability and other than that, it runs great, is a blast and sounds mean as hell. The car is registered in Ohio, i am active duty military. I will NOT smog the car before sale. Please contact me for any questions. Thanks.

Did you raise the hood to accommodate the VH45 intake manifold or for "looks?"

Hood is raised to clear intake manifold. The Skelton on the hood as also been cut out in the middle.

S14_drift junkE
03-03-2016, 07:41 PM
^^me too. maybe I'm crazy for thinking a pretty clear REAL 98 kouki is worth any real money. i thought it was somewhat of a realistic price, considering how much people are asking for worse condition horribly modified/stock ones. I'm taking a huge loss on this for the price its at, but thats part of the hobby and i understand that. Real kouki, good paint, good dash, good swap, real wheels and suspension...

Hate to even make this post but if you part out keep me in mind. I am trying to avoid a swap for a while but if you part out it might motivate me to get off my ass.

Lol really? If youre considering not buying a vehicle based on the exhaust you're special. A simple muffler and/or resonators would solve that.. And no A/C? It's a fuckin miracle this motor fits let alone with AC... Shit more than HALF of sr 240s don't have AC..

Yes car is clean title. And chassis has approx 180k. The odometer reads a little higher (I'll get exact later as I'm not driving it today).. It reads a little more because the Ecu is a v8 signal and the cluster is a 4cyl..

Please anyone who reads this message and is hesitant to buy, reconsider. He came off like the typical scammer from Craigslist. He gave me some bs 1866 number to call, and when I googled the number it came back as a scam number. That was my first red flag. Then this person continued to ask bs questions that had been answers in the ad, and questions that any "car guy" should know the answer to. I asked the mods to take his posts down as I believe he is a scammer, with all of 5 posts, all in my ad. I chose not to get back to this guy because I feel he is a scammer.
I also noticed when I went to sell my car that there were pm's and profile views by user names that had signed up all in the last month or two at the time (Jan-Feb 2016) Those raised red flags in my mind too, but one of them ended up actually buying my car .. (I jokingly thought to myself that I was gonna get murdered the day we met, but ultimately it sold) So I guess it could go either way... with that said, I hope you sell your car soon it really is a great deal .. If I was not in the middle of building a new project I would have seriously considered this..

Vin verification isn't a problem? Take the car to the DMV, with the title. They open the door, check vin, open the hood, check vin. Compare it to vin on title, boom good to go... Then smog.
sytfu_S14
04-06-2016, 06:08 PM
I know that. But once they see the engine when they're doing the Vin verification they're gonna send you to the state ref. I know people that's had that happen to them.

People are cheap no matter what. Your ad and my as proves that. My car is priced well below conversions and beat to shit cars. Yet people try to find excuses to not want to buy or say it's too expensive. If you think your car is worth what you have it at, screw everyone else! Your car is sick btw

you must have some pretty smart people at the DMV/AAA. I'd be surprised if the DMV knew what the difference was between my motor and an KA. Every single car ive bought in California has been swapped and I have had CA dmv do the vin verifications for me to register it in Ohio. not one time did they even think to ask about the motor. I think people are just paranoid
Zenkilove490
04-11-2016, 10:49 AM
this is a ridiculous low price and whoever is paranoid for a vin verification is an idiot. All they do is check the VIN numbers of the chassis hence its called a Vin "verification ". I got my s14 from Arizona with an SR notchtop 3 inch straight piped verified by dmv in California no problem. They popped the hood checked the vin plate door jam, dash and gave me my plates and tags same day

This. When I registered my s14, they looked at only the dash vin. That was it. Granted I don't think he'd done it often but still, no one is going to go digging around looking for a stamp on an engine block.

Thing sounds mean as hell, dig the wheels on it.
Since this things still for sale, I'm just gonna say what I was thrown off by as a potential buyer when I was in the market and I'm sure I'm not the only one: if you think it may just be a fuel pump, why not replace it? A new 255 is pretty cheap and another sale point. If you spray around the engine and find a vac leak, you don't even have to fix it, as long as you know the problem, located it and it's nothing crazy, I don't think anyones going to have an issue with it.
Not at all posting this in a hateful way, but this car is too clean to still be up, and with a little more insight into the issue it'd probably be gone within a week or so.
And on a side note for any buyer turned off cause it's not a beat to shit LS, VHs are dirt cheap and indestructible. Running q45s are selling for nothing. My boss bought one with 210 on the clock and it's now at 294k with 0 issues besides a tired PS pump, and I promise you he does that thing no favors.

Yea I hear ya man. I just don't have the time right now. And the point that it runs just fine I haven't torn much into it. I also don't think it's the fuel pump and I have fixed the vac leak.. I thought I updated the post but I didn't, my bad. Anyone who pms me will get that info

Also, the misfire is so random, it hardly does it. Anytime someone has taken a look at the car, it hasn't done it, and has run like a bat outta hell. But I was being as honest as possible with people...bathe car runs great 99% of the time and that 1% it's runs pretty damn good anyways.
It's that AF integrity haha. I think everyone can appreciate the honesty. I suspect with a situation like that, an unfortunate portion of sellers would have never even mentioned it and chalked up to "it's a 240, bro" if the issue occurred during a test drive.
98', v8, clean paint and clean bay.. can't ask for more at this price point.
