Junkyard score! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tehf00 · 02-20-2009, 07:17 PM

Well there is this 240sx Silvia Coupe at a local auto wrecker. From what I heard someone else got there first and got the bride seat(s), sr20det, tranny, ecu, momo steering wheel w/quick release hub, silvia front end conversion (possibly some of it damaged, not sure?)

I managed to get the VLSD rear end and entire rear sub frame as one unit (hicas system, axles, sway bar, suspension arms, rotors/calipers, etc) and the entire front suspension (sway bar, calipers, aftermarket slotted rotors, hubs, ball joints, nismo front lower control arms). Full front and rear GAB Super HP adjustable struts with lowering springs. 2x 6.5" Alpine Type R's and some 4x6 JBL speakers with some amp wire and RCAs. Power folding mirrors the right color and some other random interior peices, jdm mud flaps and a rear bumper the right color. Managed to score all this for $130.

Now I just have to get around to installing it :|

Andrew Bohan · 02-20-2009, 11:35 PM

my friend and i took his corolla to utah for gt live, and we borrowed his friend's CF hood. we stickered up his hood to match the rest of the car, and then gave the hood back when we got back.

then a few months later, something happened and his friend's car ended up in the junk yard with that hood on it, and some other corolla guy swooped it up, and now he has a hood with all my stickers on it.

hahah

tramp_drift240 · 02-20-2009, 11:38 PM

You'd be surprised what you'll find at the yards.
I found three SR swapped S13's in like one month at the same junkyard(motors were gone of course) but they did have some aftermarket stuff still on them.
All three were pretty badly wrecked.

homeslice · 02-21-2009, 12:43 AM

^^^ So how did you know they where SR swap's??
Usually insurance will take care of stuff like that..But i know you can buy your car back for a very small amount.

DDDsquad_s13panda · 02-21-2009, 12:48 AM

fuck tell me this junkyard and ill sure go there everyday.

i go to the junkyard here in the IE around fontana/ontario atleast 2-3 a week just to see something that catches my eye. but nothing, same old busted ass up S13 shells with some fire seat covers.

MrMcgarrett · 02-21-2009, 12:52 AM

Two were zenki's with dohc ps lines and they both had SMIC's.
The other one had a FMIC and the block was laying on the ground in front of the car lol

s13dan · 02-22-2009, 12:54 AM

iRONDONkey · 02-22-2009, 01:02 AM
