Im just trying to figure out what my car is worth, If i like what i hear i'll put it up for sale. Its an 89 fastback with 118k on it. Kind of a bluish silver color. I have put lots of money into this car. Im actually the second owner and bought the car 2 years ago but was unable to register it until last august. The car is in beutiful condition and will be even better because its getting painted at the moment. The car has enough power for drifting (I have only done so in the rain to put less stress on the car). Car goes sideways until mid 3rd gear if u wanted too. I have personally only driven this car 1000miles, if that. I bought the car in disgusting shape from an old philipino man. When I say the car is disgusting, i mean it was disgusting. Took me a year and a half to get the car back to mint.

New Timing chain
Excedy Clutch
Fidanza lightweight Flywheel
New passenger side window regulater.
Clean frame, no rust
Nismo R4 Cam
300ZX rear
Hotshot header
Apexi N1 Daul (or single have both)
Black interior conversion
Digital Dash
3gauge pod in center A/C vent, digital gauges
Alloy tear drops, or ugly 3 spokes
Brand new Yokohama Maurader tires
Alpine CD player
New pioneer speaker
1000watt MTX subwoofers
Dark Window Tints
New driver side seatbelt assembly
New bumper, drivers side fender, hood
Injen Intake kit w/ K+N cone filter
Eibach sportline springs w/ tokico shocks
New Front and rear brakes
Brembo cross drilled rotors
New clutch master cylinder
New brake master cylinder
New radiator
New Battery

Im only trying to sell this car because I know if i keep it i'll probaly loose my license. Just not practical on Long Island, cars too fast for the incredible amount of traffic i have to get through. I'll probaly just buy an automatic lexus es300 after this. Im gonna take a big hit selling this but i gotta do it.
Post some offers, i only have pics of the car when i first bought it. If anyones interested i'll post them.
thnks

I posted a big response but my computer apparently cant handle the stress of playing music AND being on the internet, so i lost it. Cars currently in north carolina, timing chain started to go wile i was down there so i took that opportunity to have my grandpas shop do the timing chain and repaint the car (get rid of the tiny little bit of rust as well) I had to come back to go to school and will be returning to north carolina to pick it up in 2 weeks hopefully.

Heres a pick of the car when i first got it, still looks the same just has tear drop rims and nicer paint (no dings or rust left)

bad news, front end of the car was clipped. Now i gotta wait longer to get it back. Paint shop guy is gonna redo the front for free. But i gotta wait longer. Cars in Spindale, Nort Carolina.

Good news: I was reading through the list of things done to the car, and i forgot to mention the head was shaved bringing the compression to 10:1 (or was it 10.5 to 1) done about 5k miles ago.

Is the car realy worth that little? Theres nearly 8grand in this car. Car is a million times better then it was brand new. If i cant get a decent amount for this car, i'll probaly get some 9" wide rims and q45 brakes and call it a day. The car is scary to drive but with the added braking power and the added tire maybe it will be a little better. Out of the few times i raced it, i beat a S14 with an RB20 by almost a car length so the car is quick for a non turbo. With the lightweight flywheel and the work it has done its very easy to get sideways and keep it there. Car would be very good for a drifter.

So the most i can get for this car is 2500$?

realisitically, yes, you probably wont get much more than that. you don't get your money back in mods.

keep it and race it!
