Default FS: 1992 240sx (reduced price)



Reduced to: $8950

Where do I start? I can tell you I get compliments from people all the time, and whoever wins the auction will be very happy. I hate to sell it, but I have to get rid of some of my toys.

Reliability is key to having a nice car. Why build something that's always broken? This car has participated in Track days @ Sebring and Road Atlanta, as well as participated in 10 Drift Events, and she hasn't broken once. I used to drive the car daily, 50 miles to and from work, but ended up getting a 4 door daily driver so that I could shuttle my son to daycare. Since than, she's been sitting in my garage.

So, what separates this 240 from all the others that pop up on ebay? It's the cleanliness and quality of the paint job. Unfortunately, pictures do not give it justice. Don’t let ads that state ‘Custom paint’ or ‘Show car paint’ fool you as these are just words. Notice how they never really explain the quality of the paint job? Well, I will. The paint on this beauty is GLASS SMOOTH. It’s smoother than my wife’s new car. This is not a $350 paint job. Don’t believe me? Come see the car in person! With that said, let’s look at what it takes to build a 240 like this.



First, start with the car:
Clean 1992 240sx Coupe 5spd, accident and rust free

Then, the Exterior:
paint job done by the master Samuel’s Auto in Viper Red.
Full JDM Silvia front end with non-projector glass headlights, GTR grill and factory lip.
Silvia rear emblem and trunk lock with key
Brand New Windshield

Move into the Interior:
Autometer Boost gauge mounted to the pillar
JDM Gauge Cluster (KM/H)
Drift/ Pole position steering wheel with the ultra dish
Drift E brake knob

Now add your Drivetrain:
SR2ODET S13 Blacktop (valve cover is RED, but Head has blacktop cooling fins)
l8Osx Driveshaft
l8Osx Viscous LSD
ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and sprung solid clutch disc
3 inch exhaust from the turbo back
Greddy 3 inch downpipe
Apex NI Exhaust
Enjuku Racing GReddy Hot Pipe w/ Flange (not shown in pics)
ER Air Intake Kit (not shown in pics)
GReddy Type RS Blow Off Valve (not shown in pics)
Greddy R Spec Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Ford Taurus SHO Electric Fan
Silvia Radiator
New coolant resivor bottle
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
Optima spill proof battery relocated to trunk
Brand new OEM power steering lines
Brand new S15 Metal layer Exhaust gasket

and finally, Suspension, Braking, and Shoes:
16” Sprint Hart CP-R wheels (16x7 +34 front, 16x7.5 +32 rear)
GAB fully treaded coilovers with helper springs and camber plates
4 way adjustable dampening in the front and 8 way in the rear
New tie rod ends and ball joints
New brakes all the way around
Battle Version Rear Upper Control arms
Battle Version Tension Rods
Spare set of 15" nissan 240sx wheels
I am also including a set of used "R" compund 16" tires (see pics, still have alot of track life left)

'Condition':
All A/C components are installed, including the custom A/C line. All that is needed is for the A/C system wiring to be completed and A/C to be charged.
Rear tires on the Sprint Hart Wheels will probably need to be replaced, and you might be able to squeeze a little out of the tires on the spare set of wheels
Drivers seat is worn through on the left side
Dash has some small hairline cracks
Trunk is ‘unfinished’. Basically, it has no carpet, no panels, not re-painted. I mostly carry spare tires for the track back there.
The front bumper has a paint chip missing (size of a quarter)
Front end has little nicks consistent with a daily driven car
Drivers side rear quarter panel has 2 scratches about 2.5-3" in length, not too noticable
The plastic panel that covers the ECU is missing
Carpet is JDM black (RHD) and does not fit perfectly

Other Misc things:
The car IS a 5spd
The car has a JDM gauge cluster, so true miles is unknown.


If you would like to have the car inspected by a reputable NISSAN shop that specializes in NISSAN PERFORMANCE, (at your expense), I can recommend several in the Tampa area such as: Taylor Durden, he is widely accepted in the 240sx community, and his shop has performed countless SR and RB swaps in 240's. He has also performed several Right Hand Drive Conversions.

Reduced to: $8950

Car has a clean Title in my name, and is located in Tampa Florida.

Driven hard (what drift car hasn't?)? Yep, Maintained? Yep.

The question you should be asking....has she ever broken down or been damaged at an event, or on the way home? NOPE. Quality counts
