MI 1998 Black Kouki, Fully Rebuilt Ka-t - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

invain · 10-18-2011, 05:25 PM

Kills me to put this car up for sale but I need to pay off some student loans and can't afford to keep 2 cars anymore.

Asking $9,250

1998 Black Kouki SE (sunroof, 5 lug, power everything, 5-speed, etc)
~120k miles on chassis & tranny, less than 5k miles on rebuilt motor

Original motor spun a bearing last summer so we stripped it down and fully rebuilt it. Block was hot tanked and bored .40 over, heads cleaned/valve job.

Eagle H-Beams
Mahle Forged Pistons
ACL Bearings
New Crank
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket
OEM Timing Set
Oil Pump
Water Pump
Etc... full rebuild

Other Parts:
JWT Cams
Garrett T3/T04E
.50 trim .60 A/R
z32 maf
550cc Deutchwerks injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
ISIS FPR
Fidanza Flywheel
Spec Stage 2 Clutch
JGS Turbo Kit
Blitz spec-nur "cat"back
Enjuku racing aluminum driveshaft
ECU tuned by EFI
HKS BOV
Greddy Boost Gauge
B&M short throw
Tein tie rods
KYB GR-2 shocks

Car runs great, pulls like a beast up to 15 psi; incredibly fast. Body/paint is in decent condition. There's a couple minor dents and lots of small nicks/scrapes. One of the side skirts has a long scrape on the bottom of it from the previous owner, along with a couple scuffs on the front and rear bumper.

Very little rust considering it's a Michigan car and I drove it for 2 winters. There's a little bit on the door jams but it's pretty minor. You can see an example of it in the pictures below.

Interior is in perfect condition.

All electronics work, sunroof, windows, etc.

Transmission makes some noise when slowing down in certain gears and coasting at certain speads, but I've never had a problem shifting. Probably will need a rebuild eventually but it's fine for now.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Uploading pictures right now will post them in a few minutes

That thing looks good! I'm almost interested in checking it out. Where at in MI are you?

invain · 10-20-2011, 05:19 PM

I'm in the Thumb. 10 minutes from Caro, if you know where that is. 45 minutes from Bay City/Saginaw.

DViper0020 · 10-20-2011, 06:53 PM

Would you be interested in driving and meeting somewhere? I'd like to check out the car, but I'm all the way by Toledo. (South South-east MI)

invain · 10-21-2011, 01:42 PM

I would, but there's no plate on the car. Had it transferred to my current DD.

vas570sx · 10-21-2011, 02:05 PM

you didnt happen to dyno the car at all, did you?

DViper0020 · 10-21-2011, 04:18 PM

Alright, well i'll have to see about making a trip up to check it out. I'll let you know.

ST(I)mpreza · 10-21-2011, 04:33 PM

clean body, free bump!

spartanmisfit · 10-23-2011, 05:04 PM

where in michigan do you live?

RB Me · 10-23-2011, 05:25 PM

what kind of numbers?

invain · 10-25-2011, 04:24 PM

I've never had the car dyno'd so no idea on the numbers. I've asked around in the past for some guestimates, and compared to similar builds it should be 300+ hp easily.

Between Cass City and Caro. About 1.5 hours from Lansing.

Still for sale. Dropped the price a little. Also put in a new distributor yesterday; coil was starting to go before I parked it this summer.
