Engine:
Brand new OE water pump, brand new OE oil pump, rebuilt alternator, rebuilt starter, rebuilt power steering pump, rebuilt A/C compressor, all with less than 100 miles on them. All accessory brackets, valve cover, as well as numerous other underhood parts have been powdercoated gloss black. It had a blown head gasket so the head is gone and the block is junk from sitting.
S13 cams
Nismo engine mounts
Stillen hi flow intake adapter and K&N filter
HKS Twin Power ignition amplifier
Koyo radiator, Altima twin fans
Brand new set of OBX pulleys
Seven brand new OE oil filters and a brand new A/C drier

This is a near complete car but I have sold some stuff to make ends meet, there are no seats, front control arms, brake rotors, or driveshaft. Also, all of the 5speed swap parts are gone except the transmission. This is a perfect car for someone who has a wrecked 240 or access to a salvage car to get the required parts from and eagerly awaits a new KA, or an SR, RB, or any other engine swap you want to do. I have easily twice my asking price just in parts alone but I'm broke and won't ever have the money to put it together the way I want it to be. My loss is your gain. Asking $5500, no trades, no parting out.

Serious inquiries only to my email or PM, I will NOT call/text anyone until I've spoken with them in email and get a feel for their sincerity. This is a very nice, clean, well built car and I don't want it going to someone who plans to just wrap it around a tree.

zilvia won't host my pictures. Creating an account somewhere to host a few. Emailing me though gets a lot quicker response, I don't browse this forum much.

IKKarma- No parting out. Especially when the main part you asked for I don't even have. Reading shouldn't be that complicated.

Various pictures can be found here: r240na's Public Profile on Photobucket.com (http://s571.photobucket.com/profile/r240na)

The interior is out of the car right now in storage, as shown, but is easily reinstalled. All wiring has been redone and all non OE items as well as JDM/UK stuff has been wired in and completed. Plenty of other custom stuff can be seen firsthand if the buyer is interested, I just don't have the room to type it all out or explain it.

Not that it matters in the sale, but I had two Zenkis before this car and liked the front end better, and I had all the required parts already. Plus I sold the Kouki front end for $1500 which paid for a slew of new stuff I wanted.
