thanks, unfortunately that's its good side haha. Its getting trailored to my house tomorrow(as you can by the trailor part it doesn't run. It was in a front end collision about a year ago, and the kid who crashed it sold it to a mechanic that works at a Nissan specialty salvage shop he replaced the rad support(only damage) with nissan OEM parts, and its sat in his shop yard for months now, so i snagged it up for cheap as my new project. it will run(supposedly) but i need to reassemble the front end, all the parts came with the car, i just need to put in some hours.

1995 nissan 240SX LE
Stock KA24DE with 240,000KM on it

Plans- 1994 SR20 Blacktop
Kouki Front end conversion
Drop it down

Nissan cars are some of the best out there and that seems like a good price. What's the mileage, what's the body like and what type of person is the current owner?

one word. Rust.

S13's rust like its their job. make sure to check in and behind all the wheel wells and check the frame very closely, also check in the trunk under the cardboard stuff where the spare is, very common place to see the road underneath the car. if it has a spoiler I guarantee there is rust underneath it, but since its a coupe I dont think it has a spoiler.

couple more shots of my rough S14


speaking of rust....

DP Tuner F5 is pretty much the best programmer you can buy for the 7.3L. Beware though, I would install a Pyro because those motors can see some high EGT's with the stock turbo.

Pyro is a gauge that tells you how hot your exhaust gasses are. Anything over 1200 degrees for an extended period of time can cause serious damage to your turbo.
