1992 5spd manual red/black (red body, custom black top) S13 fastback (no power windows or mirrors=lighter). 5sd manual transmission and clutch are still solid. KA24DE motor is blown. 130K on chassis... For Sale $1700 o.b.o.

It's interior is stripped in the rear and dynomatted, more details
New paint
No visible body rust
Replaced dash, no cracks!
Replaced spoilerless hatch - no rust!
New front windshield and seals
Replaced driver's door (needs to be re-keyed)
Short throw shifter with nismo shiftknob


NOTE: The 17" wheels and strut tower bars are staying with me for possible part out later. The 15" stock steelie wheels/hubcaps & tires will be back on the car for sale, there are new all-season Cooper Cobras on the steelie stockers.

There is some rust by the passenger side rocker panel (which was sealed by the previous owner, and then I had the entire car resprayed) and minor rust on one of the frame rails, but nothing crazy (you can come and check it out in person if you like). The strut towers are rust-free too. Needs some e-brake cables!

Here's some action shots of the night the motor blew... (last Saturday) most likely an oil starvation (burning?) issue which led to catastrophic internal failure.. no hole in block though or oil on pavement...
