I’d say 11k - 12k put together, maybe more with a monster Dyno sheet.

17k is magazine cover car territory IMO.

In pieces… well, I think that you are better off selling the pieces seperately @ 66% to 75% of cost new.

If Rudeboy still has his RB20 and the custom works guy are the only two local buyers I could think of for parting out.

I don’t know.

If Nissan reserves the same exact pin locations for every sensor on all models and AEM programmed a way for it recognize what harness you have **or** has an model select in their software for the baseline tune then yes.

yeah, you could use it, but it would be a pain, need to erase all the inputs and output assignments and also get a plug.

Your gonna try to sell a 1991 240sx with a torn down motor for $17000 lol

Most people on here would need a loan to get buy it…and no banks are going to do that.

You would be lucky to get $12000 after everything is up and running…

Yeah, the “EBay appraisal” method sometimes works, other times you get people bidding retarded amounts just to see what the reserve is.

No.

You could get almost that if you parted everything out seperately…

You could probibly get 15-16 if you put everything together…
