UPDATE
12/21/2018: FOR SALE!!! I have too many cars and too little garage space. This car has always been garaged.
All major work was done 4.5 years ago when I purchased it.
Engine Bay: Completely stock! Fixed for complete reliability. No leaks, no problems. Synthetic oil. Greddy strut bar front and rear
Body: Exterior was completely redone:
-Body made completely straight again (a lot of work but wont get into it)
-Color matched to my red 350z.
-Supermade VIS replica kit; modified side skirts (front bumper cracked at the bottom, sorry)
-50mm wide rear over-fenders MOLDED; stock fenders were not cut! fenders were pulled to mold with over fenders for a more stronger build. (really must see and feel)
-custom gas tank door to compensate for 50mm wide fenders
-25mm wide front fiberglass fenders (both now cracked-sorry)
-Ichiba 5 lug conversion (fronts just changed january 2016 due to very slight wobble, i was just annoyed at it)
-Big brake conversion (q45) with ceramic brakes and slotted rotors (replaced last year)
-Megan street coilovers
-TCS side view mirrors
- NEW battery purchased July 2018
Wheels: Replicas; But fronts are 19x9.5 +24 225/35. Rears are 19x11 +22 235/45 with 25mm spacer. (may have to double check offset) This will give you an idea of what you can put on this due to body modification.
Interior: Cover lay over cracked dash, lazy to swap dash even when I had it available to put on. Some wrap over some interior panels, clean. Seats are generic black recaro looking things (rollers are stuck for some reason), got them quick because stock seats were extremely cut up and had paint on them. Rear seats are stock and clean.
Other notes in case anyone was wondering: power windows-both are working, roof window- lock broke! =( this year 2018. Just got brittle over time. Been trying to look for replacement at junk yards but no luck, carpet clean (no mats), basic aftermarket radio and speakers. Has AC but doesnt blow cold anymore, needs rebuild. Automatic seat belts still work (replaced driver). All bells and whistles work as they should. I have a bike rack but will sell separately in my bike forums.
I dont do car shows, i dont race nor do I drift. This was just a passion build.
Any questions let me know. Comments good or bad welcomed.
Looking to sell local. Valencia, Ca/San Fernando Valley, CA/Los Angeles, CA.
$5,000 obo
First one to get me 5k gets it, ill be starting school again and I need pocket money. Hoping for an easy sale.
NOT PARTING OUT.
These pictures were taken not too long after paint was completed so they are not recent. I will try and upload recent pics soon!!!!
Thanks for looking!!

Wow that is in excellent condition. If you still have it in a few months please let me know and we can talk price. I have been looking for a stock, unmolested S13 since I had to sell mine to fix my Subaru years back! Something like that should hopefully go to someone who is going to take care of it and not thrash it.

I know you said you are looking to sell but I could trade a 2004 bmw 530i, and looking at the people offering 5k id say thats a really good deal :)

Wow this is clean! Nice work on the body. Most shops I know would charge 5k just for the body work/paint alone.

PMs and texts have been sent!! Thanks for the interest.
As I stated to those I have replied to via text, the car is currently stored at my friends garage in the Valley. He works everyday so its hard to schedule a time for people to see it. This weekend ( 1/5 or 1/6) Im going to try and get it back to my place in Long Beach. It will be much easier for you guys to check it out.
Thanks!!

HEY ALL!
Here are some updated pics!!
And some answers to common questions I've been receiving:
Miles?: I just broke 184K picking it up from storage at my friends house
Title?: Clean; no accidents- EVER
Why is it non-op?: Registration was due in December. I have every intention of selling this, really motivated this time. Why spend more on fully registering it and paying for smog and oil change when my plan is to get rid of it? This always brings up the next question:
Will it pass smog?: I HAVE NEVER FAILED SMOG while it was in my possession. I spent a lot of money making this reliable as this was my daily. Last time this was smog'd was 2016, passed LEGALLY with no issues. Registration was due December 2018. This is the first time I registered as non-op. Only because I want to sell it. As the new owner, all I recommend is change the oil and drive it for about 75 miles before getting tested. Everyone here should know the basic maintenance required for cars. I can't say 100% it will pass now and that's something I won't guarantee, but you are purchasing a 30 year old car, ASSUME PROBLEMS.
more questions:
What is needed as of now?: Tires. And the wheel fitment ill admit is obnoxious, but based on the current specs-imagine what you can put on! I assume you'll get your own rims to replace these fakes..
Whats up with the front bumper?: I purposely detached the screws connecting the side skirts from the front bumper to make it loose. I HIT EVERY drive way and speed bump. It's pretty damn low. Thats how my bumper and side skirts cracked. Everything was built so sturdy that the bends going up drives ways cracked the fenders and bumper. In an effort to not make it worse, I left it all loose so it would just scrape and bend instead of crack.
Lastly, I apologize to past potential buyers and future potential buyers for not being able to show the car when you want. I am extremely busy with work and studying Moday- Friday and school all day Saturday and Sunday. Best I can do, depending where work sends me..I can show the car Monday - Friday earliest 5pm after work (daylight last about 6pm now). The car is now located at my place in Long Beach.
TBH..Im pretty tired of texting. Questions are non stop and results with flakers. I will only text real serious buyers and those scheduling to check out the car. I don't mind you coming by to just look at it then going home to think about buying it- I rather do that than deal with non stop texting. But for the most part, please ask your questions here and ill get back to you ASAP. And I feel my asking price is very fair. Im pretty firm on the price...as of now.
Thanks everyone.
