I am selling my 1990 240SX that has had a black-top SR20DET engine swapped in. I did absolutely all of the work myself. I am a very meticulous ex-mechanic who has always wanted to build one of these. Now that I have I am moving on to my next project. I've been driving this car for a few thousand miles now since the swap without a single issue. I didn't take any shortcuts when building this car. For instance, when re-locating the battery to the trunk I didn't cut or drill a single hole anywhere in the car, I simply re-used existing plugs and grommets to route the cable. The BOV is even completely re-circulated back into the intake after the MAF like it's supposed to be. With all this attention to detail the car runs like it would if it came stock this way (like it did originally in Japan). Currently the car is a finished and completely correct running stock SR20 car with just a Greddy front mount intercooler and full exhaust running at 8 psi (running no boost controler). The car also has front 300ZX 4-piston aluminum calipers that I refinished in black, a 300ZX brake master cylinder, JDM 180SX viscous LSD, 5 lug conversion, electric fans with variable controller, among other things. I have spent countless hours getting the car to this point. It's had many new parts and lots of cleanup while I had it apart. It runs and drives great. Doesn't leak or use a drop of any fluid. There are only 2 things that could still be finished. There is 1 A/C line that needs to have a different end brazed on it by a hose shop to complete the A/C system (I may do this in the next few days), and I still need to find a SR20 throttle bracket that will allow the cruise control cable to be hooked back up to the throttle body (most SR20s didn't have cruise, including the one I got). Other than that absolutely everything works as the factory intended it to. The pictures will tell the rest of the story. I will also throw in any extra parts I have laying around for it if the buyer wants them. I have an extra S13 SR20DET long block with many extra sensors and misc parts and brackets. I will also give away the Nissan Consult PC adaptor cable and software with the car (used to access and datalog all sensor input and output information from the stock ECU). I am attaching a list of parts and their prices that I've kept track of along the way. You can look through it to get the full list of parts I've installed/replaced. Call/Text me at (970)401-0934, my name is Brad. The body has ~150k miles on it, documented to be accurate through carfax and many of the service receipts over the years.
This car has been maintained to the absolute highest standards. It is rarely driven and spends most of its time under a car cover or getting its picture taken. The mechanics of it are bar none. When going with a new motor I wanted decent power but my main concern was spirited driving feel. I'm really happy with all of the quality OEM and JDM upgrades, simple yet distinct, and starts better then your grandmama's Denali. It can easily power thru when in a slide, breaks traction in low gears, and has not once had an overheating problem, or any problem on that note. You could drive this car from San Diego to New York City nonstop, no kidding. The interior is an amazing shape, the dash is perfect, no cracks, fading, anything. It has the stock seats but I might be getting my hands on some brand new Bride Gias Low Max Gradation seats, a new steering setup with quick release, and full aero to almost complete the car. All the black and gray inside is vibrant and armor'd regularly. Basically this car is CLEAN, not like some of the "cleans" on this website, almost all of which are about as clean as Pam Anderson, ehhhhh okaay on the outside, ha! on the inside. This car is a beast, end of story period have a nice day.

-Like the black stripe? Don't? I will add the rest or remove it all, you pick.
-The rear driver fender gap will hold a credit card in place as the car currently sits, but please do not be weary to drive this thing, I have made it up some pretty intense driveway banks and over plenty of speed bumps with no rubbing.

The car sits a little high in front just for daily driving. You can still drop comfortably but living in Colorado we have poor road conditions and I couldn't. It was only lowered fully once and it was done at the photo shoot for an upcoming magazine article.
Thanks again for looking and I hope all is well! :)
