FS: 93 S13 SR20DET OVER $11K invested

[loudbay]

I'm tossing around the idea of selling my 93 silvia (240sx coupe). this is the most fun car i've ever driven, but now that it is done (i use the term loosely), i have the itch to start over. i think i'm going to do an s14 this time. anyway, here's a list of the mods, if i could recoup what i spent on it, i would be happy to sell it. my phone number is 720-936-5828. i'm in boulder, co and it would be my pleasure to take a potential buyer on a canyon run or two...

projectnissan downpipe $99

4. 740cc inj. big turbo, adv. timing (dangerous unless you have $$$ to build/rebuild)

greddy oil pressure gauge $150
greddy h20 temp gauge $150
cheap-o boost gauge works fine $30
cheap-o egt gauge $0 (probe is good, but i think the gauge is bad maybe vice versa)

passenger seat and rear seat are recovered in bride (black with grey stripes) cloth $400 (very good looking, just needs nice bride drivers seat)
jdm s13 front end conversion $500 (hood has a little hump in it, that's why so cheap-YOU COULD FIX IT OR BUY A CF HOOD TO REPLACE IT) projector lights/aero grill
older alpine cd player works great
i removed the sound deadening material from beneath the carpet and from behind the dash (easily 65 lbs)
metal intake manifold gasket and metalexhaust manifold gasket (way better than paper) $45
header and downpipe wrap $75

nismo thermostat $35
supra tt fuel pump (290lph) $190
dual flexalite 12" fans $140
spec 3 puck clutch/resurfaced flywheel $300
i hope that's everything...

here's the stuff that needs to be finished...
needs new driver's side taillight and new passenger side sidemarker (rear)
i was just going to replace the gauges that didn't work with greddy gauges, so they all matched (approx 250) nismo makes a cool boost with digital egt built in that i've seen on ebay for 100.... and the oil temp is $150 the boost/egt could go on the steering column and the other three will sit in the center a/c vent (i made a plastic face for it)
the front end is white, the rest of the car is maroon, a cf hood and paint job were my plans. (very minor body work needed to make perfect)(from free to infiniti)
it's riding on stock wheels and tires are 85% -rims are a must (go nuts)
the dash is cracked from the sun, i was going to address this when i got the new gauges (don't pay more than 50 for a new dash)
there's no shift boot, but they're on ebay for $19
somehow i lost the receptor for the passenger seat belt, but probably only costs a few bux from the j. yard.
it could use a brake job too, it still stops good, but i get a 90mph wobble ($100 for brake job - $1000 for big brake upgrade)
and a nice driver's seat...

as i said before, i love the car, but i kind of want to do it again, and that's just not going to happen if i don't sell this one...


the interior is in great condition, there's a hole in the driver's side carpet, and a stain or two everywhere else, but nothing a shampoo won't fix.... the passenger and rear seats look great....
this model has the normal spedometer, so you don't have to worry about the heads up display breaking... but the speedometer isn't working, or the reverse lights, but if you're not technically inclined, i'll fix these for you, i think i just reversed the wiring on the tranny.... if you're in the area i would be happy to teach you what i know about the car as well. i've only used mobil1, and only driven it 3000 miles or so, but done 3 oil changes.... considering it now takes 6.5-7 qts vs the original 3 qts. (because of the oil cooler, relocation kit, and oil pan) i've spent well over $100 just on oil.... but it's hard to not baby your baby....

so my total from the above stuff is over $11,500. considering i paid shipping costs on all of this stuff, and it's all basically brand new, i would appreciate it if the low-ballers just low-balled at home, and didn't bother me.... that's not to say that i'm not willing to bargain, just don't waste my time and offer me your civic and $50... i would consider a s14 se and some $ or a jeep cherokee/grand cherokee and some $. my email is [email protected] and my phone # is 720/936-5828 and my name is matt. thanks for reading such a long post... now get out there and sell my car for me....... and i'll post again if i remember anything else....

IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CHECK THESE POSTS WHILE I AM AT WORK... IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE CONVENIENT IF INTERESTED PARTIES CALLED ME AT 720-936-5828

I dont expect your going to sell this car anytime soon. No disrespect or anything but i think other people like me would rather buy a stock car for cheap and work on it themselves. Whats the fun of buying a car if it is almost completely done with modifications and upgrades. i think people would have more pride if they can say they worked on the cars themselves not buy buying a car that is almost complete and needs minor things.

[dekand]

some people are lazy, and dont want to do it themselves, or dont have the time... so those are the people that will buy it.

good point
