$11,000 – Dallas, TX:

“1997 Nissan 240sx

PRICE W/ WHEELS: $14,800
PRICE W/O WHEELS: $11,000 – Will need rollers

I purchased and received this car July of 2016. It had 131,171 kms on the odometer and now has 135,201 kms. That is not the actual mileage on the chassis, just on the JDM cluster. I’ve put less than 3,000 miles on this since July 2016. Only taking it out on the weekend to the occasional car meet. I’ve never drifted or dragged this car. I’ve never even done a burnout, lol. My attitude on this car has been preservation. I’ve had zero leaks anywhere and no overheating whatsoever. I didn’t originally plan on selling this, I’ve poured my heart into this thing, so it took a long time to make this decision. I’m looking for a clean stock body 97-98 Kouki. Preferably 98. After purchasing this car, I became really fond of the OEM look. Like, really really fond. Hence why I added the USDM front bumper, lip and kouki sideskirts. Unfortunately the owner before me added overfenders, so originally I was going to settle and continue to go wide, but I just can’t. For all you avid schassis owners out there, you know how this goes.

EXTERIOR:
No Rust and rails look great
Rebuilt Title – Done very well, drives perfectly, and body is clean.
Mileage on chassis- I have no idea. I was told a little over 200k when I purchased it.
OEM KR5 Silvermoss – Repainted – Door Jams Included(just beautiful)
OEM Glass Headlights, Black Housing Painted w/ HID’s
USDM Front Bumper, cut to fit Intercooler(professionally painted less than a year ago)
USDM Lip(which I purchased from Nissan less than a year ago for like $380)
Origin 30mm or 50mm Rear Overfenders(not sure) – They are marked up from previous owners side skirts and rear bumper. Not terrible, but visible. I was just going to replace them with 50mm Chargespeeds.
OEM Kouki Sideskirts W/ ENDCAPS(professionally painted less than a year ago)
OEM Kouki Tailights(I resprayed them and hand painted the Nissan logo silvermoss less than a year ago)
OEM Grill
OEM Fogs wrapped in yellow (I purchased these used; needs to be wired)
Genuine Nissan Rainguard Visors (I purchased and installed them less than a year ago; $150)
Slicktop(no sunroof), Zero Dents
No Back Bumper Installed BUT…

COMES WITH EXTRA:
OEM Rear Bumper and License Plate Light(not painted but primed and ready to be sprayed)
Origin 20mm Single Vent Front Fenders(need repaired, primed, and sprayed)

INTERIOR:
The interior IMO is very clean. I put some time into it.

NRG Hub(Non-Quick Release)

Chrome E-Brake Drift Button
Ebay Spike Shift Knob(chrome, matches wheel, e-brake button and door handles, lol)

Dash has a crack over the cluster
Dash is covered with a Dash Mat
Door panels are in almost perfect condition
P2M Front Black and Grey Checkered Floor Mats
JDM Kouki KM Cluster fitted with a Depo Racing Japanese Tach (tach went out just a couple weeks ago, this has happened once before. A wire behind needs to be plugged back in and this time secured better.)
Gauge Pillar: AEM Tru Boost Gauge & AEM AF Wideband
Pioneer Speakers All Around
Pioneer Touch Screen Headunit
I have two keys for this car, so you’ll have a spare. Both are the good quality. They are the black and chrome Silvia key that I purchased from Amazon.

Godspeed FLCAs for the current wheel setup (I purchased and installed these at the beginning of 2018)
I have not purchased any new arms for this car except for the FLCAs. I only rode with what was already installed, so I’m not exactly sure on aftermarket brands: Toe arms, Control arms, traction rods, and Front tension rods
Energy Subframe Bushings

BRAKES:
Z32 Brakes Front and Rear Setup

Cons:
Needs a new cold start valve. 91-94 Sentra is identical and can get one on eBay for like $30-40. When cold start: I let the fuel pump prime, start it up, slightly push the petal down for about 5-10 secs. and then all good.

When coming to a stop, if I push in the clutch, lets say at 4,000RPM’s, then as the RPM’s fall they will dip way below idle then pick back up. However, if I ride it in gear all the way to a stop sign for example, allowing the rpm’s to decrease while in gear, then pushing in the clutch at a much lower rpm this doesn’t happen. I have adapted to this and can drive it without any issues at all. The other thing I noticed around this time was boost seemed weaker than usual after 5,000RPM’s. I wish my first thought was a vacuum leak, but it wasn’t lol. When this started happening I ended up going through practically everything. Replaced a lot sensors, triple checked voltages and everything was fine. I eventually had a proper vacuum/boost leak test and the only leak found was where the turbo bolted up to the manifold and the bolts connecting the turbo. The manifold on this car is the stock one modified, so that didn’t really surprise me. It’s old, lol. Though it’s a fairly easy fix, my plans for the car after finishing the exterior, was to purchase a CX Racing manifold in the mean time. Plus I wanted a top mount manifold. That never happened. I’ve been plugging away at the exterior and interior any chance I’ve got. Also the majority of my time owning this car, my personal life has been a bit hectic as well, so I’ve only been able to work on it slowly and drive it little. AFRs cruising and in boost are spot on. I kept the PSI where it was when I purchased it, 17PSI. It idles fine without any issues and I have cleaned the IACV thoroughly.

Some misc. things I’ve done to the car since I’ve owned it that I didn’t list above:
I only use AMSOIL
Changed transmission fluid with Redline GL4
New coolant temp sensor
Checked timing
NGK spark plugs
New oxygen sensor
Had starter rebuilt
New Z32 MAF
New Redtop battery(I still have the receipt) w/ all new cables installed

I’m possibly open to trades, but for 97 98 240sx only. Clean!!!

SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY
