S13 with Pontiac Interior

[Asmar]

Was browsing around on eBay Motors and saw this:

Nissan : 240SX:eBay Motors (item 140319389976 end time May-14-09 18:07:33 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-240SX_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZalgoQ3dSIQ26itsQ 3dIQ252BCQ26ituQ3dFICSQ252BUAQ252BUCIQ26otnQ3d15Q2 6poQ3dLVIQ26psQ3d54QQ_trksidZp3907Q2em263QQcategor yZ6396QQitemZ140319389976)

[dnbwithweed]

wow......it looks pretty good imo.....

[slothonaleash]

never woulda though

that car is..

nice

[I LUV MY S13]

its actually not bad

[BLKS13]

Besides the scoops, i like it lol

[Phlip]

I was tricked!!!
Clicking on this thread, I was expecting to see an atrocity with cheap plastics and chintzy build quality, but this, for what it is and contains, is actually a nice car.

Fuck

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

Not bad at all

The interior looks modern and the car is very clean.

Its a steal for 5200 (current bid)

has anyone else done this?

[s13boy89]

but its autotragic

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

but its autotragic

convert it lol

a v8 conversion is like 6-8k

[sked707]

It looks nice....but WEEEIIIRDD:tweak:

[RB240Mike]

if it wasnt auto itd actually be pretty bad ass haha

[Phlip]

Keep in mind, people, that it is not an auto KA, but an auto LS2

[vespaman]

wow.. just wow..

[DirtyOldMan]

fuckn poo! thats fucking sweet!

[Bushido]

interior needs a little more attention..

and whats up with the fuel cell taking up all that room?

[Dee]

very nicely done! I agree the fuel cell is probably the only bad thing about it IMO

[fishhouse]

damn... that car is nice as hell lol

[fishhouse]

Fuck
lol me too. clicked and i was like damn... that car is hot

[S14Driftr91]

:eek: its clean as hell. i like it alot, but never expected anything like that lol

[Exas Spec D]

Damn, I'd actually sell my car to get this beast. Anyone wanna buy a white 91 fastback with kouki conversion and ka24det?

[94cc0rd]

nice paint, nice wheels, and interior actually looks pretty slick and doesn't look all that out of place..

[qwikspool]

nicely done.

[aoiken3]

he did this kind of work and he lost his job? wtf??

it looks good, in a very weird way imo. too bad there were no engine bay shots

[Rittmeister]

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I like that car. Well executed, and the interior looks good... wonder what a manual tranny setup for that engine would cost.

[98koukile]

Saw this before, very nice car and the guy did almost all the work himself. There are plenty of people looking for a drag setup that would trade an M6 setup for that auto. I think a hood like that would look good on a kouki if done right, not square enough for the s13 IMO.

[cxlo8331]

very interesting.

definately not expecting...

to like it.

just not a fan of the scoops...

and the dash is kinda bulky looking.

[enkei2k]

it's ok...i guess, 5k seems pretty cheap, unless those TE's are fake. at least i think they're TE's, correct me if i'm wrong.

[aoiken3]

Damn, I'd actually sell my car to get this beast. Anyone wanna buy a white 91 fastback with kouki conversion and ka24det?

how much chris? lol

[DeadlyZ33]

wow what a steal. If you changed the hood, seats, steering wheel and tranny then it would be sick as hell!

[brent the junkie]

if it wasnt auto itd actually be pretty bad ass haha

and the hand brake was on the other side.

[whytrickme]

Thats pretty badass, i was also expecting a riced out car but its been done really nicely

[drift freaq]

well I don't like the hood but I got to hand it to him. He did a fucking good job on that car. Not perfect but like others have said definitely not what I was expecting to see. All in all its a A- and the minus is only for things like how the fuel cell is done and the hood. and maybe the bottom side of the dash at the tunnel.

Though damn he should be able to find work being able to shit that well.

[Exas Spec D]

he did this kind of work and he lost his job? wtf??

it looks good, in a very weird way imo. too bad there were no engine bay shots

Hahah, I'll take 4.2k with the Gramlights Optimise, 3.8k without.

[rican_nick]

wow that is done very very well. damn i like it

[joshchewuhh]

actually the exterior looks good minus the hood, nice wheels and fitment too. interior is barf

[importantone]

I would change the hood out. Some of the interior stuff is still exposed which would be better patched up. If it wasn't my only car I wouldn't mind a fast car that was auto for daily smashing around.

[ZenkiCam]

he did this kind of work and he lost his job? wtf??

it looks good, in a very weird way imo. too bad there were no engine bay shots

maybe because a lot of people are losing there jobs right now? :cj:

[Banegraphix]

Takin the LS1 swap one step further haha. looks good and I love the originality factor

[blitzsti22]

didnt expect a clean car, thought it was all riced out

[Slammed Assassin]

that coupe is real clean.. i expected something riced out..

[blackrms13]

except the hood, i love the the car!
the color is awesome!

and the interior looks so nice!

[josephin510]

change the hood and throw in a t56.... i would be even sicker

[greddy2die]

Here are some more pics & a vid of that car for you guys.

[420sx]

wow such a clean execution. i cant open ebay for some reason last few days, so cant look at interior

[Ceepo]

sweet car, would make an awsome daily, leave it auto and just daily drive it... hope it goes to a good home...

[PoorMans180SX]

Pretty good work. A decent finished car.

But if you look close, the dash doesn't really fit. There are gaps in the front where the door opens, around the steering column, next to the glove box, and above the tranny tunnel. I don't like the GTO gauges at all. Hood is ugly. Auto is *Bleh*. Why is there a fuel cell in the trunk? Kinda pointless?

Sorry, I'm a pessimist.

[initial_drifter]

[email protected]?!?!?!

This is my buddys car and I will tell you right now it's legit

No traction getting onto the freeway, 30 MPG, etc etc.

Very fun car to drive too. It will definitely be missed :(

[ixfxi]

http://i.ebayimg.com/01/!BR+9e6Q!2k~$(KGrHgoH-DsEjlLl0BVjBK!4JFCEow~~_3.JPG

if i open the door and can see the gap between the dash and the firewall, thats not good.

yes, its not that bad.. but its not that good either. i wouldnt want this thing.

[rc1honda]

I think that car is hideous. I didn't buy my s13 so that it would look like another car. If i wanteda GTO then i would buy a GTO. I think the motor and paint are nice but the interior and Aero are trash. he should of left it a s13 but with a LS2 then the car would be gettin a lot more attention from seriouis buyers.

[o0sunkissed0o]

cool idk what you guys are talking about, that type of job takes A LOT of dedicated work and it came out nice, I like it, even worth buying if it had a T56

[zenki.life]

hell i would buy the car just to even part it out. 5k is a good price

[Flicktitty]

i kindda like it. the car as a whole works very well. the hood looks like a hood off a 6L GTO so that kind of works. i'm not a fan of the fuel cell but ah well. i would get that thing in a heartbeat. and leave it auto and rape those 5spd sr's lol

[xs240]

ive seen that before on silviav8forums, but i was expecting a pontiac cavalier interior not this lol.

[SimpleS14]

wow....and it's actually "cheap". Too bad it's on the other side of this country =/

[landins13]

the dash doesnt fit very well, and there is no picture of the engine. if im gonna buy an ls1 240 on ebay i want to see the motor

[initial_drifter]

Reason for the swap is that he got a wrecked GTO and had a coupe just sitting around.

One day he smoked a blunt and magic happened

[fuco8210]

holy shite thats alot of work

[ayuaddict]

WAIT.

nobody saw the center cap on that TE?

[aoiken3]

maybe because a lot of people are losing there jobs right now? :cj:

maybe you should learn proper english??

let me fix that for you.

"maybe because a lot of people are losing THEIR jobs right now?"

WAIT.

nobody saw the center cap on that TE?

you mean the sport maxxxxxxxxx center cap?


nicest thing about this car is the paint. from what i can see, the paint shop did a pretty good job laying it down and aligning all the panels. not a fan of the aero kit though (fiberglas)

yes

and

yes.

[pdissypoppa]

Damm hate to say it, but not bad.

[soreballz]

Don't TE's have the words "FORGED MONOBLOCK" stamped on the rim? I don't see that, which leads me to believe that those are Rotas with Volk stickers and Sportmaxx center caps. Super gay.

Overall though, I like the car. The dash needs more work to look perfect, and I really dislike automagic transmissions, but aside from that... Not bad, not bad at all.

[SlideWell]

for the amount of work involved i think it came out nice. too bad its auto, too bad about the dash gap, but hell, cheap buy and something different. i think its really neat.

[dori_sil8t]

im just not feeln the hood.. and the seats

[Bigsyke]

so some1 stole a GTO just for that

[NismOkatFreaK]

Amazing!!!!

[YoungGun]

I really like it.

minus the hood of course.

[ixfxi]

Don't TE's have the words "FORGED MONOBLOCK" stamped on the rim? I don't see that, which leads me to believe that those are Rotas with Volk stickers and Sportmaxx center caps. Super gay.

my 17" volks do not have any stampings on the front
my 19" volks said volk racing / made in japan / forged monoblock on the inset dish

its too hard to say if they are real or not, but my guess says they are real and he's fucking with people by putting the sport max center caps on there.

[NISMO_tuner]

i clicked on it expecting a POS interior with plastics hanging loose, but it was the complete opposite. It looks like it belongs. Nicely done car. I wonder how he got the steering wheel to fit.

[VQMaxFan]

Sweet, ive seen that car before, when it was blue. when i first saw the pics i was like okay cool a stock gto, okay a blue 240sx..... and then it hit me that it was all the same car lol.

interior needs a little more attention..

and whats up with the fuel cell taking up all that room?


looks like a stock fuel tank for a gto

[VQMaxFan]

so some1 stole a GTO just for that

i think he had a gto that he wrecked from what i remember hearing if its the same car.

[Marcus]

wtf.

i had the same reaction to this as i did to the susan boyle vid. lol

[5t341tH]

looks nicee. id hit it

[initial_drifter]

haha we put those on for laughs..

The wheels were originally the track wheels on the DRIFT OFFICE car but that ended up getting parted out.

They are legit wheels. Heck our driver, Barry Wong, could vouch for it.

I should be at the shop again this weekend so I'll try to get some more pics for you guys. possibly footage ;)

[greddyguy]

that is a lulzmachine for sure. i'd buy that thing if i had the dough too, fucking awesome!

[RUTH'LESSDET]

This car is sick you guys are crazy ok the rims maybe questionable but 5k is a super steal!!!! Ls2 motor sets average at least 5k. The cheapest ive seen an ls2 sell for was $4500. You pay 5k for this car you get a motor and a FREE shell for that price:l101: f*ck the rims

[itsallme.NWH]

if it wasnt auto itd actually be pretty bad ass haha
and not likin the scoops

[jzepol1985]

wow only 5k
Cars on here go for that much and look like pieces of shit

[Bubbles]

Looks like he's going to recoup some of his money.

[kyles1988]

paint looks nice...but thats about it.

[ryguy]

Hell, it looks better than an S14 dash in an S13. The dash is vaguely the same shape as the s13 door panels. I like it.

[comablack783]

hood needs to go, rest of the car is tight, tight tight work.. UHH.. not for 5K anymore, up to $17K... It will probably go higher before close, which is amazing in this failonomy were in.

[Avante]

looks like crap.
