ok since everyone is kissing ass ill say it. The price is too high. It an amazing looking car, but… price is too high.
meh, i’m not reducing it because i don’t need to sell it and because there is nothing else comparable… there are faster cars but that isnt what this one is all about anyways.
I’m negotiable on $ and trades but i’ll drive the shit out of it again this spring just the same and keep it for sale at the same price range all the while. I’ve declined offers over $10k and reasonable trades already.
When someone wants a mint S14 Kouki chassis / body with a clean swap and all the right stuff (brakes, coilovers, diff, multi-link, etc.) they’ll see that this is thousands cheaper than trying to replicate it and the perfect place to start for a 400whp S14 sleeper.
I’ll probably end up putting a few more things on it, lowering it more and raising the price later on 
going to put this back on the road and get rid of the winter beater in like 3 weeks…
i want winter beater plz
So you’re not consider a 10k offer at all.
In comparison to Jordan’s 240 which is cheaper and has more mods and just as clean- granted yours is a usdm kouki- this is the most expensive stock SR swaped 240 I’ve seen on here.
I love the BMW Black Saphire Metalic paint. My buddy painted his Supra that colour. One of the nicest Blacks ever!
nah i wouldnt take $10k, wouldnt take $11k even… maybe next year or before i take the car off the road next fall
more mods isnt better in many case… it just means more problems… This car is a flawless DD and done right.
Keep the beater and keep this thing mint. Your gonna wreck it with the snow brush man… not to mention salt and rocks flying off other cars.
was editing the thread and mixed up some stuff.
Since posting this thread i have had the following added to the car:
Exedy Stage 1 clutch
Front tires: Toyo T1R 235/40/18
Bings oil cap
Greddy rad cap
removed the stock antenna in favour of a low profile S2000 antenna
removed the HID’s in favour of premium stock bulbs (better lighting performance)
OEM Nissan turbo gaskets and locking plates on the turbo to manifold and turbo to elbow
New battery clamp on the battery ground
New horn
New alarm siren
Car still gets the shit kicked out of it every day and LOVES IT!!
Had it out at CSCS last time in the open lapping and is did a full 20 minutes all-out without a single issue… drove it to the track, on the track and right back home… got over 600km’s to the last tank and just had an oil change and tranny flush this week
Had another offer at $11k and another young guy come to take a look at it… I’m still not going to sell for that kind of money.
I was just rereading the original post and updated the mileage… it’s now 122k… meaning i have 50k+ on this car in 2 years… i think that is a testament to its reliability.
Also, another thing i pointed out was true… it’s a year later and the offers are the same as last year but the G35’s im looking at are down a couple grand
I’ll probably end up driving this into December and storing it.
Seen bing on the highway recently. The car was puffling black smoke and shaking, JUST KIDDING. Car is fucking perfect.
did you keep the abs when you did the swap or was it removed?
still has abs… blew the AC compressor though 
Updating this since i continue to get casual interest via pm.
I’m DD’ing the car and still beating the shit out of it on a daily basis. I had the car professionally undercoating using Corrision Free at CARSTAR Express in Brantford… since i’m an employee i got an extra good job
The car had been undercoated before anyways and probably didnt even need this coat.
I also had the windows tinted all around.
I still havent had the air bag sensor scanned… it needs to go to Nissan for that.
The AC motor seized on me back in the fall when i tried to use if after like 5 months of not using it at all.
I put a brand new $140 battery in it 3 months ago and a new siren for the alarm.
goodyear ultra-grip 225/40/18 on all four corners right now.
washing it regularly and putting 91 in it only…
Still not taking $11k for this thing… wouldnt even consider it… it’s toooooo awesome and rips shit all day long.
If you’re serious about it feel free to pm me.
what are dealers offering you on this for a trade in ? … ill be surprised if they offer you anything over 5-6k
i wouldnt trade it in and havent tried.
the car has to go to someone who’ll appreciate what it is, what it’s got and the condition it’s in. I’m treating it like i’m keeping it for a while, which is good for when the right guy comes along…
theyll give him around 2-3k at most for it.
not saying it isnt worth more(obviously) but thats the blackbook value and thats what theyll give him.
i know it’s not worth anything on paper… it’s a 13 year old car with undetermined mileage probably over a half million km’s…
fact is though that there are only a handful of them around in this shape… Jlee, dude from burlington with the dark green one… ummm… maybe a couple others… and that’s about it.
i had tacoboy over today… even he made the comment, you can’t build one for the money and you cant buy anything cooler for the money… a $13k 350z will suck and a $13k G35 will suck… that’s part of the reason why i don’t even really want to sell it… in order to actually step up you gotta spend $20k.
by the end of the month i’ll have 60,000km’s on it… hard km’s… and no reliability issues at all… it owes me nothin
Don’t worry Bing, it’s worth it. Who cares what dealerships think, 99% of cars depreciate to nothing. My brother in laws 07 Mazda 3 is worth less then my Kouki. Even tho a 2011 fit would be worth more then my Kouki I would rather have my Kouki. Dealerships don’t take rarity into account when it comes to value. If you find a clean mkiv lhd TT supra for sale at it’s book value, let me know cause I’ll buy it cash after a stop at the bank.
Yeah, you’re the guy i was thinking of…
guys… i don’t care if i sell it or not or what a dealership says about it… i’m not taking it to the dealer and if no one pays what i want i’ll keep it forever… same with the blue car… i’ll just buy a bigger garage that’s all
I like your attitude! keep it
