Alright so I wasn’t planning on selling this car but a few plans have changed so this car has to go. My plans were to keep it and fix the issues it had (mostly cosmetic) and use it as a track toy. If I knew I was going to sell it now, I probably wouldn’t have put a silvia front end on it or done the sr20 swap in Febuary when the powersteering pump seized lol.
But yes details on the car.
It was a 1993 240sx LE and was originally automatic with hicas. and has about 290k on the body. and about 140 or 145k on the drivetrain, I have both gauge clusters for the car still.
This car is sold E tested but not saftied the emissions is good til October
I’ll start off with the bad that way if anyone sees anything they dont like they can stop reading before they get their hopes up and then crushed by one of the problems lol.
- power steering is not working, a hardline on the steering rack needs to be replaced or made (easy enough to do) and a belt needs to be installed
- rear winter tires are done (its a 240sx the rear tires are obviously bald :))
- speakers inside the car are very very shot they work but don’t come close to sounding nice
- reverse lights not hooked up (again easy to fix, simple wiring there are even writeups online)
- driverside quarter panel is rusted and will need new metal welded in (passenger side just bubbling)
- driverside floor beginning to rust needs to be welded (passenger side was already done)
- door ajar light is always on, I never bothered to check which sensor died it used to work normally then on occasion the door ajar light was on, and now it’s just always on.
- the car will need to be painted since the silvia front end isnt a perfect match but its pretty decent
- front mount intercooler is ziptied in place since the bracket holding it broke and I never got around to fixing it properly
- windshield washer pump died
- left rear wheel bearing makes noise
- battery isnt mounted too well , needs eitehr a relocation or a smaller battery to clear the fmic piping
so now onto the better parts.

I’ll need to get pics this week of how the car currently is but here is what it looked like in October, obviously the front end is different now so the car doesnt look quite as shiney and clean in its current state lol
the qaurter panel is a little worse than this due to the paint that was over the rust has now fallen off lol.
the frame is pretty good, there was a hole in the driverside and its been filled with something and undercoated over, but the car is lifted on the frame by a hoist all the time without problems so it’s not going to fall apart or anything, passenger side is fine.
But yes I’ll get new pics with the new front end and the 180 sides later on this week. Right now I’m trying to get general interest and the car will be available to look at in roughly 1 week, since I still need it to drive until then.
Here is 1 pic I have from my cell, I’ll get more pics from around the car this week and the headlight is no longer out on the passenger side
