The OEM+ / S-Chassis Preservation Thread

[dizzariot]

It's slightly uplifting that people are at least posting on Zilvia to ask if they should preserve their S-Chassis cars or make them into complete shitboxes. It's not much, but maybe it's a step in the right direction.

If this thread gets a decent amount of participation, maybe we can keep it and use it to motivate new users to:

- Not post threads asking to be spoonfed specs for stock-bodied cars
- Save 'unicorn' cars from a life of misery
- Preserve the remaining cars out there

Please note the title of the thread.

OEM+

- Suspension work, stock-bodied, OEM-optional-parts-using cars.

Preservation

- OEM nut/bolt, factory-wheel-rocking motherfuckers that do God's work.

The overall goal is to give newcomers a reference point. Where should they spend money to get the car looking decent and lower to the ground. Wheel specs listed here will of course be my opinion, but feel free to chime in. Most people don't want to search the Wheel Fitment Thread so if they can look at a thread geared towards stock-bodied cars they can find what they need.

I'm boring. I do minimal work on my cars to get them lowered, aligned, and on the road. This thread is for people like me that don't want to shoot for big horsepower, cut up the bumper for a fat intercooler, and bacon their fenders trying to fit bigger wheels.

[dizzariot]

Here are some of my cars, past and present. Most are what I would consider OEM+ and use the bare minimum to get lower to the ground and look good.

180SX/240SX

1993 240SX SE
Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA)
Coilovers (Feal 441)
Subframe Bushings (not needed to go lower, but should be a 1st stop with these cars)
16x8.0+0 Volk TE37V
Fenders Rolled

Although these pictures are reversed, here's an example. This:

Used to be this:

I got this car with 92,XXX miles. It was automatic, sunroof-equipped, and lucky for me stored in a garage.

After getting the rear bumper repainted and the rest of the car paint/color-corrected, it looked brand new. I sourced the 5MT parts out over the course of a month and used only OEM parts. By the time I got the wheels and suspension on it was almost time for me to go to Japan...and that's why it's important to keep all of your OEM parts.This is all you have to do to your car to make it look decent.

1996 180SX Type X
Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA)
Coilovers (KTS)
S14 Silvia K's 5lug Hubs/Brakes
17x9+22 Rays LMGT4
Fenders Rolled

[dizzariot]

S13 Silvia/240SX Coupe

These are two different cars, but you get the idea.

1988 Q's
This was a preservation car. I didn't want to modify two cars at once, so this one was slowly getting OEM parts refreshed until I found the color I really wanted. The picture is just used to show the difference.

you should add a master part number list to the op for things like weather strip, trim, bolts, bushings, etc. could be a very useful resource.

[IketaniS13]

You're doing the lords work right here. :hug:

We need more people talking about preserving these cars instead of trying to build drift missile shit boxes.

I'm on my third s13 and the cleanest out of all of my previous 240s. 89 two tone. Bought from an original owner. Let's get this party started!

I wanted the thread to be more of a motivator...I want newcomers to see you can do only a FEW modifications to get the car lowered, aligned, and looking good. Cars with minimal modification are the goal.

If member posting here would like to share, by all means data dump your parts numbers.

although i did change the color in 2010 i tried to keep the car as classy/clean as i could with a neutral color, but this car will draw a crowd at bingo night with people just wanting to know what it is.

so this is how it sits to this day this car is only summer driven karting me here and there on trips and she just clocked a 109,000 on the odometer/chassis.

keep it simple i've owned this car since 2004 auto to manual swapped in 2008 less is more they can last!

Cool thread! If I knew how to post pictures I would post my car even though I’m not sure it totally meets the guidelines.

[Hoffman5982]

I'm fully supportive of this thread and the few companies who have recently started providing us with long lost new-old schassis bits. Here's my contribution:

https://i.imgur.com/p7lWdkN.jpg


'95 original 5spd car with 1 previous registered owner. He passed away and the car was sold at an estate sale. The car had been sitting for a few years and the buyer did nothing and let it sit for another couple of years. At some point the driver window was busted. I bought it and let it sit for ANOTHER 3 years.

This past december I pulled it out and stripped the hideous blue interior. With the help of a parts car I completely swapped the interior to black with an uncracked dash and leather seats. I did rear kyb struts, brakes all around, and a tune up and it has now been my daily for a few months. The body is completely straight, although the paint is shot. The plan is to stay completely stock. At some point I will repaint it either the same color or AL0(Ruby red, the color of my first car/s14). I've put a shit ton of little tedious into it already and there's a bunch more til it will count as a restoration, but I've really been enjoying having it.

I'll play. First is my current s-chassis, OEM 180sx chuki skirts/turn signals. OEM 180sx valance and taillights. Full MAX multi-link, front lca's/knuckles, and subframe risers. Tein HE coilovers. 15x9 +0 dumpster wheels w/205/50's. Have a new wheel setup going on shortly. Old school SSR's, along with a 5-lug/Z32 brake setup. I've owned this car since 2007, always preferred keeping it low-key/ OEM+. The other car was a bone stock '89. The one that got away. Ended up practically giving it away. :(

I truly love these cars, this thread will be cool, right up my alley!

I like this thread.

[[240sx]]

I feel like the concept of this thread really applies to S13 and earlier chassis. Maybe the S14 has not aged enough, but they don't give me the 'classic' car Feels in preservation form.

That said, I Like this thread and hope it blows up with more entries. As far as S14s go, Bluejayde's black Zenki comes to mind.

:1989, 5 speed, clean title,
Plans (short term) are to get the a/c recharged, tint the windows, install original stereo, restore the dash, and swap over a Silvia front.
Would like to add a vlsd, z32 brakes, and change out some bushings but for the most part it’s solid.
I’m keeping this car completely stock looking, not gonna lower it or put wheels.

I love this thread too!! I will be posting pics of my car very soon, I haven't figured it out yet. The thread is also very timely. I just heard today Barret-Jackson mentioned two cars to watch as their value starts to soar. One was the older Supras and yes , the Nissan 240sx!

[CrimsonRockett]

I'd chime in, but my cars are more resto-mod. I do like how aesthetically pleasing they came from the factory, but just can't stand the stock ride height.

I do have folders with print outs of literally every single last part number for S13's and S14's. I'll see if I can give myself some time soon to scan them and upload them on here for people to reference in the future.

Your car is super nice man...but it doesn't fit the thread. I think it's a little beyond OEM+ but that's just my take. Clean car regardless.

Jon your cars belong in here. They'd be OEM+ by my definition and I think by some other member's definition. Factory aero, Factory optional parts, fully refreshed, but lowered on some nice wheels. Seems OEM+ to me

- Suspension work, stock-bodied, OEM-optional-parts-using cars.


I can see that. Still stock bodied with oem aero & suspension work. Guess it's OEM++ then ha.

The point of this thread? I dont know. Its like, lets post cars that are barely modified and jerk off to them.

This kinda reminds me of what the cars on the old 240SX mailing list used to look like back in the day. You know, in the 90s... when people didnt do much other than install wheels, tint and a stereo. That was what we considered modified back then.

thats why you've got your car on casters. you can lower the car and still have good ground clearance. I like it johnny!

Seems pretty clear in the first post..

maybe we can keep it and use it to motivate new users to:

- Save 'unicorn' cars from a life of misery
- Preserve the remaining cars out there

The overall goal is to give newcomers a reference point. Where should they spend money to get the car looking decent

I think that’s the point. Again.
Everyone gets mad when new age kids wanna overbuild their cars to FD spec, neon colored, tube chassised ridiculousness.
So now some people are trying to show them how simple builds can be great and getting back to basics would be better to see than dudes “ruining” cars for clout.
But someone will always complain about something I guess.

[samotage]

Sweet thread. I’ve had my s14 Kouki for 22 years, most amazing, versatile, high performance and well mannered and reliable car I’ve known. She had many mods over the years, and currently going through a bottom up restoration.

Complete suspension overhaul done.

Interior being done right now.

Next steps are to get her back on the road as a daily, refreshed and like new.

These are such a great chassis, the original was rather dangerous, and suspension, wheels and tyres are a must have in my experience.

Please restore these, as there is nothing like them available today, now unlikely in the future.

Dude these are the types of things I love to hear. I'm happy you've owned the chassis for so long. I think I finally have the cars I'm going to keep for life and I'm oddly excited to figure this out.

Have you driven on it since doing the ES bushings in the rear? If so, how do you like it?

[Kem Poyner]

Whats the point of this thread you ask????
Preserving the remaining clean, uncut examples is worth discussing at this point. With all the posts so far, maybe Dizzariot has uncovered a new sub culture!

[samotage]

Only around the block when I had to move house, it was terrible lols, not setup lots of rear positive camber, old Konis, no sway bars etc.

It will be set up for grip, to enjoy all the twisty roads at my back door, so hopes are high! With luck it will be in time for Christmas.

Crimson, I can speak to these ES bushing, I have the same setup in the knuckles and subframe as he does.

While mine weren't terrible or falling apart before hand, it really firmed up the rear and eliminated slop on and off throttle; firm, but predictable. I've driven with solid subframe bushings and felt a lot of feedback through the chassis that I dont get with the poly subframe bushings.

I would have much rather gone with sphericals in the knuckles but I couldn't justify the extra $500 on a street car. Suspension moves freely; no binding, no squeaks since I loaded up the suspension before tightening the knuckle side bolts like you're supposed to.

[samotage]

I chose the gktech solid subframe bushings, and Poly for the diff, with the aim to raise the subframe as much as possible, and have that road feel, with poly on the diff to isolate transmission noise somewhat...

Then with the full butyl interior to quieten up noise as much as possible. The boot (trunk) is bare, with some tasteful renovation and a wooden floor, with the idea I can pop down the rear seat flap for more noise, or close it up for stereo times.

It’s all an experiment, and hopefully delivers ;).

Currently mid restoration on my 1992 hatch

I'm really liking this thread lol. I know too many junk 240's that could have fixed up, but ended up being hacked or scrapped.

I'll have to do a full build thread one day but here's a quick summary of my car and the stuff I've done since owning it.

This is the first picture I ever took of the car, i know its shit, but it shows its sub par condition:

https://i.imgur.com/pTxuKIDh.jpg
Here is a roller that my friend took that shows the shitty spray painted fender and dented rocker panel etc

https://i.imgur.com/CHxzc3Lh.jpg

The first thing I did was rip out the thrashed interior and replace the carpet, dash and shit bezel. I really wish that i took pictures of how bad the interior was before, but I wanted that trash gone so quick I forgot to take pics :picardfp:

https://i.imgur.com/QcAUXa3h.jpg

Unfortunately the dash wasn't perfect, had a few hairline cracks.

https://i.imgur.com/cgMDkbwh.jpg

OK skipping a while ahead and approx. 8 months of body work in between class I started the painting process:

https://i.imgur.com/DHl8ltgh.jpg
I didn't have the time to paint the whole car start to finish in one go, so paint has been taking quite a while, but here's a pic in primer

https://i.imgur.com/A5MoVuOh.jpg

In the meantime I've been slowly picking away at the interior. I got a damn near perfect dash, a digital cluster, and I fabbed up some seat rails for 300zx seats. I've heard mentions of people putting 300zx seats into s13's on zilvia and nico like 10+ years ago but any links are long dead. I believe these are the only pics of this conversion out there:

https://i.imgur.com/EpjkbOih.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/2yYnmqth.jpg

This past week I finally started putting down the color. I'M using HoK KBC-11 brandywine over BC-12 zenth gold. I've only done the jambs for now but I think the color is amazing. Its crazy deep; a bright red in the sun, burgundy in the shade and almost black at night:

https://i.imgur.com/zIrrAKAh.jpg

I tried to keep it pretty brief, but I plan on making this into a full build thread one day lol

[gzus9]

Awesome thread. I picked this thing up for a cheap price which seemed to be in rough shape but as I went through it turned out to be a great purchase. I was hoping the original color was red but it turned out the original color was gray so thats what I decided to paint it. The interior is also complete now and will start focusing on doing 5 speed swap. For now im enjoying it how it is.

Man this is a perfect thread! My goals are to keep as many oem parts on mine as I can with tasteful mods here and there. As of right now it is almost bone stock apart from the radio.

Just for reference here is my setup just to check fitment on stock body. 18x9.5 +15F 18x10.5 +12R could maybe get away with a fender roll on these but I'll probably go with a 9.5 rear lol

Great thread! absolutely loving the people coming out of the woodworks from all around the world to show their unmolested 240s. My S14 was the first car I ever owned, as a teenager owning one of these cars, people ask me damn near everyday "When are you going to Kouki it? When are you going to widebody it?" Personally, I love the oem+ look of these cars, they are timeless. The car is now staying at home as I head off to college..

Here is mine, Started off as a single, old man owned, stock 5 speed.

This was one of the earlier stages of my car and probably my favorite..before I started doing stupid stuff like slamming it on the ground with super stiff coilovers and ripping out all of the fender liners/splash shields. It just had 2" drop springs, sway bars, z32 TT wheels, Q45 brake upgrade, JDM aero and a reliable ka-t setup putting down 270whp. It was such a fun and easy car to drive.

[Super_OK_S13]

Maybe i'm in the same boat as a couple others, my car is more of an OEM+ body/suspension/wheel wise, but the modified/shaved/tucked engine bay/cage is meant to be deceiving from the outside look... even though i've been bashed a little for painting a non two-tone, factory two-tone colors. :wiggle:

The two tone is awesome! Loving it all, awesome cars in this thread.

Here in Australia, we have retard cops whom get ticket excited about engine mods etc, so understated original style with a little flair is the kind of thing we have to do.

Well executed, it preserves these cars really well.

I'm going to get the front lip on this car soon. I'm slowly sourcing 5speed swap parts and I'll be set. I have some old school HKS headers, too. I love this car as an automatic but the previous Silvia I had was a manual Q's and it was pretty fun. I'd imagine an NA CA Silvia Q's is the Nissan equivalent of an AE86, although I've never been in one lol.

I was always the OEM plus guy I owned for about 12 years now originally from California then shipped to a dealership in Jacksonville North Carolina .. here is my 97’ Hardtop SE .

jdmlivin: Looks like it's coming along great!

I was lucky enough to snag a pignose for my 240SX before I left for Japan. I sold my Type X here and I told myself I'd get a genuine 180SX front bumper for my 240SX after that. I'm trying to source all OEM aero parts so I can mix-and-match in my later years.

I really want to be that dude that has dual projectors, triple projectors, bricks, aero bar, non-aero bar, OEM sides, and OEM rear valences on deck to change the look of my S13 Silvia if I get bored. Same goes for the S15. I feel like it's a good way to keep the same car for a long time, but mix and match shit whenever you feel the itch to move on. Constant struggle.

[dizzariot]

I was always the OEM plus guy...

2nd best color the S14 came in. FN2 Blue Emerald Pearl(?) is my favorite, but I saw an all-original BN6 kouki once I got to Japan and it was gorgeous. Have you ever seen this parked next to a TH1 S13?

I actually had a th1 z32 back in the day . It is very similar . Bn6 has more purple in it though . soon I will be getting my Bn6 r33 gtr . Although for whatever reason it’s a different name it’s called deep marine blue .

Thanks! yeah I still have the car but it has been sitting for a few years as I've worked on other projects. I've had it since 2004. It is painted a 90s GM color- and I'd like to re-do the seats and door inserts in saddle leather at some point to tie it all together.

Car is nice, but doesn't really fit here.

I think I'll post some S15 pictures in here soon. I was lucky enough to (with the unyielding support of my BFFL) scoop an aero bumper a few days ago. A coworker bought my NA/automatic AJ4 Spec S and his tires should be showing up this week. Both of us opted to use factory aero options. VERY EXCITE.

Just found this thread now, glad to see others that are in the same mindset as myself. Been buying S14s since 2002 and always loved the OEM+ style. Currently own 2 1998 Nissan 240SX, one is entirely stock and the other has a fully built S14 SR20DET and the plan is to replicate a JDM S14.

Your car is too modified to be considered OEM+. Especially with that comically large wing.

[BenRice]

Love this thread! Great to finally find some terms to explain what I've been working towards for the past 3 years. Some great inspiration

(on the wife's laptop so only have IG links sorry: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUgxILH85v/)

I'm also sitting in the "too many modifications". The car is kitted (albeit Vertex), RB25 swapped and has track oriented suspension (ex D1NZ comp car from early 2000's), and runs VSXX (again, albeit 17's).

However it's still metal fenders, had a closed door job, 2000 grit wet sand & polish and runs a more "sensible" ride height these days.

Is restomod a more suitable term then?

I got mine with those wheels, the same ones sold on the Nissan Maxima at the time. In those days, 1997 lols they looked so grandpa... as time marches on, these wheels do look really good, however they are skinny AF, and mine did me no favours with their big sideawalls flexing and loosing their grip when it was needed... Luckily in never ended up crashing my s14, but there were enough heart stopping moments on those rims!

Nice pick up! That color is rad. How much did you pay for it?

I think I'm going to part out my two-tone and just enjoy it back on stock suspension and OEM teardrops.

[KA24DESOneThree]

$14k is about the top of the S14 zenki market that I've seen.

Example: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ctd/d/los-angeles-1995-nissan-240sx-se-1/6980197607.html

Dude has made a business out of nostalgia. Good for him.

Ehhh this is that whole 'what's it posted for vs. what's it gonna sell for' argument. There's a shop down in San Diego that was selling a white zenki like this for about the same price...three years ago. These are the kids you go to school with that think they're 'business-minded' when really they're just assholes.

[feito]

Some people claim you got to know the right market. I dont know if they're refering to jackson berret or some shit, 'cause outside i have never seen expensive 240s go for the asking price. I priced my kouki on the low side (less than upgrades alone) and i still had a little trouble selling.
I agree with dizzariot, asking price is irrelevant in most cases.
Fwiw, and it fits in this thread, this car is local, and has been for sale for over a year. Dropped the price muktiple times already

...yeah but in my opinion that's shitty. It's trickled into a ton of other models and I really hope it doesn't happen to us. I'd sell my car for what I truly believe it's worth: $7000. People will talk shit, but I'd be fine knowing that's what I'd pay for it if it wasn't already mine. That being said, I wouldn't ask $10k for it in the hopes of setting a price trend, because I'm not a colossal cunt. I cunt for sure, but like fun-sized.

The NSX is a good example. Had I known the price mark-ups would be this bad or unnecessary, I would've considered buying one when I first got here. The SAME cars I used to see for around $40k-$45k (lower KMs, no repair, MT) are now $60k-$65k...and for what? No one seems to care about the new NSX. It's Porsche assholes setting a bad example lol.

Lol it's just the market. Prices for 90's Japanese cars are just on the rise now, similar to how the muscle cars back in the mid 2000's were selling for very high prices. The kids that used to drive these cars on gran turismo are now 30-40+ and making money. Combine that with a good economy and you start getting people willing to drop $75k on a TT Supra.

sidenote: I will be switching my front bumper back to a JDM bumper, N1 ducts and a C-West style lip from Shine Auto. Then will I be OEM+? The only non-OEM styled aero will be the URAS valences and the lip. Side skirts are Nismo. Just feeling left out now..

I've looked at this car in person, dealer got it in an auction. It's as clean as it looks in the photos. Price is a bit high for a zenki IMHO though, if it was a kouki I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

HKS BOV, stock location, recirculated
Greddy exhaust
Nismo trans mount
C's short shifter
DW fuel pump

Body:
OEM JDM Kouki Aero
R33 GTR N1 vents (not installed yet)

Suspension:
R33 GTR wheels 245/40R17 Cont Sport tires

Holy shit. Yeah that fucked it all up. I mean the miles are so low I'd personally CONSIDER $10k...but the added $5k is either some dumb rich kid or someone that knows the seller and is really trying to push their luck.

The more I see the OEM S13 Silvias/240sx, the more I want to revert my cars back to stock. I think having the S15 as a 'low car' is enough for me...

I feel like my cars fit well in this thread. Although they may not have too much "+" they sure are OEM. First is my 92 hatch. Bought this from the original owner a little less that a year ago with 76k miles. its 100% and should be getting some coilovers and wheels within the next month or so.

Next is my 89 creamy yellow two-tone coupe that I picked up on black friday this year. Like the hatch, it is completely stock and should be getting some tastefull mods when i have the chance. Till then, it makes for a great looking daily:2f2f:

Your post reminds me of how mine looked when new! Fantastic :D here in Australia these lips are $800 or so for the Nissan one, others are 300 for am Frp job. So I think some sanding, filling and black painting of my scratched, torn and abused one will occur.

Yeah I have a few buddies I talk to and your prices there are getting pretty wild. I'm happy I got what I wanted while the getting was good, but I still paid more than the average person to keep KM low.

I've always been a fan of the Irish(?) guy that has the red S15 on Model 5s.

dude, that hood scoop throws off the balance of the car, looks soooo out of place and ridiculously big. Not my car I know, but just my.02

[Getchevyn]

I brought this car after college with cash. It was my 1st car and I didn't even know how to drive a stick until 4 weeks before this. It was my daily for about a year and I just love the way it looks so I brought another car(Mazda protégé, 5spd) and used that as my daily. This car has been parked in a garage since then(1992) and I used it as a weekend car. My job working for the government took me to far away countries so I always had another car to drive if not getting shot at. Thru the years I have purchased a Nissan Sentra, Mazda 6s, another Mazda 6s, a Nissan Altima, and now drive an Infiniti Q50S TT.

The Nissan 240SX always held a place in my heart. Seriously, I didn't even know about the "drift tax" until 1/2019. I drove it only during summer months and never in snow/salt. Most of the time I get approached by someone while filling the tank and asked me if it's for sale. Never gave it another thought and said no every time. $5000 was offered on the spot 14 months outside a gas station and it wasn't until then I search the internet and finally join this group.

As to the car it's 100% OEM original. It's a 5sp 1991 Nissan 240SX with AC, sunroof, sports package, Super HICAS, limited slip diff with 8697 miles. There is no rust as you can see by the pictures. The windshield was replaced in 1992 due to a chip and crack. Stereo doesn't work 100%. It sounds weak and I think it's because I haven't used it much. The tires are 100% original RE88 as you can see by the DOT# manufacture on the 44th week in 1990. Will change those tires this year. The body is 95%. Muffler is original as seen by the 11/90 manufactured date. Car runs well and like new. Drove about 150 miles last year and full fluid change and checkup by a Nissan dealership in 5/2019. The seatbelt buckle recall was done on that date.

I have a funny story to tell. The dealership called Nissan corporate for the replacement buckle and corporate told them not to bother because the car probably has too many miles. Once they heard the actual mileage, next question from Nissan was, "Is the car for sale?". The answer I told them and everyone else was "Not now and probably never":2f2f:

Which also gives scope for elastic tie downs. I’ve always found the light lid makes this a very useful compartment.

Nissan’s Zama Heritage Collection has a lot of cars with low/zero miles. More than half of them are cars repurchased from original owners to showcase the vehicles in “original condition”.

If it’s a serious inquiry from corporate, there may be a bounty internally with a list of vehicles they’re trying to procure.

...yeah but they're mostly cars no one cares about or knows of. I went there and it was kind of a let down. The race cars get rotated in and out of Nissan HQ in Yokohama which is way easier to get to.

wtf? you must have gone on the worst day possible. when we went there were at least 2-3 dozen cars worthy of nut-busting.
R390 road going version and race version,
R33-LM
a handful of instantly recognizable Silhouette cars
a long row of 70's Datsun sunny and 240Z race cars
R33 SEDAN gtr (actual Nissan produced GTR sedans are pretty uncommon)
Gorgeous dark blue Stagea wagon that was the pace car for some racing series (I can't remember which) on bronze LMGT4
Taisan R32 race car (the one driven by Tsuchiya)

as well as the rows and rows of flawless showroom level, bone stock assorted nissans/datsuns/Princes

ALSO, Nissan HQ in Yokohama was def cool, and merch was cheaper there than at Omori Factory, but they only had 2 cool cars on display (and a bone stock z34). Granted, one was a old R90 race car, and the other was the V2 Mid4 concept, both panty droppers, but still, only 2 cars.

Yeah but that's essentially what I said: The racecars are always in and out of Yokohama. So I've seen a lot of them before with the added benefit of being able to do other things in Yokohama as opposed to the area surrounding the Zama Museum.

From a visiting standpoint, yeah it would be better to see the race cars in one go. I think I just wanted to see more 'Golden Era' variants as opposed to two rows of 80s Laurels and Glorias.

not sure why you think they're cars no one cares about.

The point of the museum is to have a single collection of Nissan heritage. If you wanted race cars, this place still is 70-80% of the entire collection of famous Nissan race cars that is available to be seen in one place, in one trip. For the inquiry from corporate earlier in this thread, it may very well be someone with a list of cars to try to purchase should they come across it...

I've been to Zama 3 times in 4 years. Been to Nismo HQ 6 times in 5 years. Every trip to Japan, I go to all the usual car places in hopes of seeing something rare.

Nissan HQ is nice but you have to be camping out often to see the cars.
Nismo HQ is nice but you have to be camping out often to see the cars.

There isn't any other place in Japan that has that many rare cars in one place, only other place that comes close is the Honda Collection Hall which is even farther than Zama.

Forget about Toyota. They don't show their race cars. The only time I got lucky with Toyota was my first trip back in 2005, randomly came across the Toyota GT-One on display at Mega Web.

This post reminds me to post up the pics from Zama + Honda Collection Hall. Will do it later.

That’s awesome man, if you ever wondered what Nissan is going to do with your car of they ever bought it is they’ll have it in the “ lane museum” here in Nashville, Tennessee. I work down the street from Nissan HQ at a Nissan dealership. They have a underground garage where they keep other cars that aren’t parked in the museum I’ve been poking around trying to get access to see all the cool stuff they got. They recently bought a mint fastback like yours from a corporate employee

been working for Nissan for about 10 months now, and no its not i wish it was they have mix of cool cars but Nissan does have a section there in the lane museum

[rogues13]

Bought this car from the original owner with 170k miles. Bone stock original five speed. Uncracked dash Georgia car that belonged to an older gentleman. Brought it home and threw in Kouki 180sx front and rear seats, a new perforated Nardi 330, and an old logo Nismo knob and drove it all summer.

Currently doing a full restoration and installing my decent collection of Nismo/OEM items. Plans include a refreshed ka24de, suspension rebuild, and the installation of the rest of my Kouki 180sx aero. I plan to make a build thread now that I have more free time being at home in lockdown. Really enjoyed reading this thread and thought I would share my gem. Hope to have some interesting OEM+ approved photos for you all next time around.

I enjoy film photography, so here are some photos I took after a few weeks with the car.

There was several items that needed attention. Worn paint, broken hood hinges (no, I'm not into hood risers), typical rusted hatch lid, pea-shooter aftermarket exhaust, etc. I bought a donor car in the same color and swapped hoods with it, swapped the hatch lid, replaced the pea-shooter exhaust with an OEM unit, and did some minor upgrades on both the exterior, interior, and suspension.

Added OEM 180sx wheels, OEM mudguards and 50/50's for that extra OEM+. Lowered on JIC FLT-A2's, OEM Kouki 180sx seats, 180sx floor mats, Nardi deep corn.

One of the few S-chassis I legitimately regret having sold.

crimson rocket very nice!! also is that a lime tree? lol

[samotage]

After a total rebuild (except engine and box) this S14 had her first spin around the block today. Still lots to do, ride heights obviously lols, but she is getting there!

thanks bro! i actually have the r33 clone wheels 17x9 +15 but i didnt want to ruin the OEM + of this thread with knock off wheels.

also the +15 wheels poke out so much since i havent had any fender or quarter panel work done.

R33 wheels with a 10mm spacer should be okay. I could be wrong. I had brake clearance issues on my 180SX.

What an amazing find! Was $1800 when I looked, wonder what she goes for?

I'd buy that shit in a heartbeat.

If you look through the detailed pictures, there's several issues that stand out to me.

1. It has definitely been repainted, and poorly at that. It seems as though they didn't bother removing the factory black trim line / tape during the respray. Notice the paint lifting above and below the black line and near the fuel lid door.

https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/1989_nissan_240sx_1589597800565ef66e7dff9f98DSC019 00JPG.jpg?fit=1999%2C1125

2. Normal 30+ year old wear for a car parked outdoors. The usual exterior rubber moldings/trim are showing their age and would eventually need to be replaced. A complete glass-out respray along with seals/moldings/trim replacement will easily cost $5k+ depending on who paints it.

3. Interior trim pieces need to be restored/replaced. This one is me really nitpicking, but still something I'd have to do if I'm going for that "mint" look.

4. One of the least desirable models (again, IMO). SOHC, Auto, and sunroof. The first two can be addressed rather easily, but the third not so much. I've owned far too many of these to know the sunroofs are just ticking time bombs. It's only a matter of time before the assembly goes bad or the roof starts to leak.


It's a good looking car overall. Is it worth the $10k+ hype people were posting about on the Facebook groups calling this a museum piece? That's a no for me. Having owned plenty of completely stock/original and modified Coupes, the nostalgia wears off quickly and you're reminded of every single reason why you began to upgrade the suspension, brakes, and interior in the first place.

If I were in the market for a good base platform to build and was okay with paying a premium, I'd pay $5k max for it.

I think people on the Facebook groups would really lose their shit if they saw the red hatch posted a few pages back. Now that's a museum piece that IMO would easily fetch over $20k to a car collector.

[dizzariot]

Well I'll admit I only watched the video. Thanks for making this 'easier' to 'let go' lol.

I have to say: I have owned a coupe w/sunroof and multiple hatches w/sunroof and I have NEVER had any of them leak. I hear people say they are destined to fail all the time, though.

If you clean your seals and drains from time to time they last much longer.

More like $30k or higher.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-nissan-240sx-9/

This one sold for $20k and it was one option away from the red Super-HICAS car.

With more miles.

I'd buy this S13 coupe if I actually got serious about selling my E39 540i. apparently my car is worth a lot on BaT.

This is making me regret moving forward with selling mine. I think I'm at like 92,XXX miles but my car looks just like that and is flawless :/

Looks great! We built my buddy's car really similarly 7-8 years ago, we painted it A30 interlagos blue, 17x9 work emotions, s14 sr with bolt ons.

High bid was $8100. Guess the market still is strong for low mileage, one-owner cars.

I've been trying to tell y'all...

I'm selling my car for a little bit more than that and it's a DE w/5MT swap. People are either overpricing their shit or undervaluing their shit. Never a happy medium.

I'm a bit late to the party, but is this thread still going? I have something that might fit right in here.

...fucking single slammer...

Put your tinfoil hats on: Do you guys believe this? Couldn't it be a plot to jack prices? If I have $30k in savings, and I give it to my brother to buy my car from me (minus the BaT fee) I just keep the car and sell it under a new name later...?

I really have a hard time believing this. The only other 'econobox' car to fetch north of $20k is the AE chassis and even those top at like $25k.

did you read the comments from the two top bidders?

both owned the car in 1990 new, and the winner met his wife in pretty much the exact same car.

not bad for a 30 or 40 year wedding anniversary. I know people that spend way more for way less.

[KA24DESOneThree]

It's amazing what nostalgia and a swollen bank account will make people do.

These really are good cars if you take care of them. That's why people that get rid of them always come back to them...

[Getchevyn]

I just saw the price. Damn, that's a high price to pay for one. Think I need to contact Hagerty insurance for an update.:faint:

[brndck]

yeah. the price is insane for your average person.

for that 1 in a million owner who has a sentimental attachment to that car, its understandable.

I don't see it having that much swing on the already overinflated prices of s-chassis.

in another year or two ZN6 will be cheap enough that its a reasonable alternative to the already picked thin 240 market. Z33/G35 are already cheaper (in many cases) than buying a 240, and IMO a better platform for the price.

but if anyone else has a swollen bank account they need to deplete, i'll sell you my s13 for the low low price of $29,999. *some assembly required*
