After I had a 3" Electric cutout installed after the Y pipe. This is a LOUD SUMABITCH open. Its NOT quiet when closed either. I have NEVER had an issue with Police with it however.

Exterior
Paint is probably 8 yrs old if I was to guess I’ll HONESTLY put it at a 8.5-9/10 (JP etc can vouge that its good but not perfect as it was driven) - 3 pcs spoiler - lower air dam

Wheels
XXR 16x8 - has Hankook R compounds on them now all 225/50/16’s they are IMO garbage tires as they are old, burn them off and put the 225/50 and 245/45’s back on (included) Comes with Drag wheels/tires which are matching 15x8 XXR’s with the 235/60/15 MT ET Street Drag Radials (less than 20passes, NO burnouts = just cleaned tires and went - cut a 1.77 60’ on an open diff) LOTS of tread left

Brakes - rear stock. woot. Fronts are 12.X" Wilwood 4 piston and 3 pce rotors. Cats meow of brakes that fit 16" wheels. Lock them up at any speed if you wanted to - includes upgraded brake master cylinder thats not installed - parking brake works and holds.

I think thats all of the modifications.

Downsides -
-no washer fluid pump installed - have it but my clutch master cyl is in the way upgraded Tilton unit i forgot to mention
-no heater installed - have one from Jegs I was going to install, never did, included
-its a 35 yr old car - it squeaks, rattles and makes noises. Its not a toyota for interior sound levels I’ll tell ya that right now
-Car needs a tune currently but that will be paid for by me before I’d sell the car anyway unless you want to do it yourself. We can negotiate a discount for me not having a tuner do it.

I will include ANY parts I have with for the car that I can find. I want this SOLD before I move out of my house otherwise it goes with me. Move Date is May 26th.

Car has won some awards at Ontario Z Fest (two best in class mod’d 280z) as well as 3rd at Scrape By the Lake but thats neither here nor there IMO as this is a machine more than a show car.

NO test Pilots - NONE - Will need proof of finances (bank statement or approved loan application from bank for test drives)

Asking $26,500 - build it for less and I’ll give you a cookie.
No comments on price unless you think its low - I will not give it away but I will consider offers.

Car is hot. I like it. I’m curious what you have invested vs what you actually wind up getting. I’m in a similar boat if I ever try and liquidate my E30.

wow, gorgeous car

glws

that’s fucking awesome. :wackit:

oh the things i would do for this car… amazing car…glws

Gorgeous.

Beautiful car!

very nice

Well I paid $8k USD back in the day for the car plus all the mods etc.

Engine and tranny stock were $3k - add mods - heads $1k, headers $350, intake/tb -$800, PR’s $100- cam -timing chain- exhuast and i’m at half my asking price just in the car + engine/tranny (not including engine mounts and labour as it was installed by my mechanic not me)

New deck, focal speakers and the amp alone are over $1k there + Raw FG Door panels were $400 + sound deadener

Recaro seats weren’t cheap + I paid $500 for the leather then another few hundred for the labour to install it
Seats lets say $2k?

Fuel system was $1200 or so in the end

Then add suspension/wheels/tires/Wilwoods and misc parts and I’m probably at my asking price. Thats assuming NO labour costs. None. Nothing for my time or the time paid for mechanic work to install some things.

I’m willing to take a loss on it in the end based on where I know I’ll sell the car if I get a good offer. My Asking price is to keep the low ball scum bags from wasting my time. I’ll do 20% off my asking price honestly if I have a serious buyer that wants/appreciates the car.

This can be a daily driver for 3 seasons (not winter) easily. My wife drives it to work on Fridays and i take it to work on occasion as well. Its as much of a monster as your right foot makes it and as tame as you make it.

I will accept trades - Lotus Elise/Exige + cash on my end if needed.

only if i waited and didn’t buy a dsm! this car is beautiful, this is the only way i’ll ever own a datsun is with a ls1, glws! :tup:

LMK how this goes for you. I have over 40 into my E30… I don’t think I could sell it for that, haha.

Side note, unless you’re going to heavily mod it, skip the elise and get the exige, preferably S240 or better. The elise is piss slow. The exige had just the right amount of power to be fun.

GLWS!

wow i would love to own this, looks awesome. glws

Beautiful… i love it

Bumperoo keeping it at the top.

$500 referal for perspective buyer.

Gorgeous car and GLWS!

Side question - WTF did you do to that yoke in the 1 picture?!?!?!? That took some force.


LOL
That’s the product of prep’d track and the Mickey Thompsons and a 3500rpm clutch drop. I coasted 10’ off the line.
More pics of it at the track:

Tow truck:

cap off the U joint I found 10’ from the car:

Those were the stock axle’s. After that tow truck ride home I got the adapters made to install the 300zx TT CV axles which are 1000x stronger.

Then with the CV’s installed I launched at 4500RPM and did this to my open diff

Opps.
So I then upgraded the diff to a CLSD which I rebuilt with clutch upgrades.

Break and upgrade, only way to do it. You know you are making power when…

Nothing half ass’d here guys, this is a properly built car.

Sounds like a really well sorted out swap. GLWS.

Bump
