Not sure if this is proper to post here, but i'm not selling for sure yet. Let me know what you think I can sell my car for. I might ebay it or put it on craigslist. Currently no job and can't afford a rebuild so I'm selling to get something RWD of course, but that doesnt use oil. I will get another 240 again though.
Here is a list of parts and where I spent money, I'm sure I left lots of other things out as well.
----------------------1989-----240sx-----SE-----------------------

F1 aluminum lightweight flywheel-$1953. ebay hotshot 4-2-1 copy header-$904. arp head studs-$1005. ait racing gp bodykit-$4756. nismo motor and trans mount set-$1507.

I originally paid $900 for the car and the last owner just drove it with little care for routine maint.There is really no part on this car that hasn't been fixed or replaced that slightly even needed it. All kinds of front end work. 1 new wheel bearing,new ball joints,new tie rods, tension rods, new rear struts, rebuilt rear brake calipers, brake pads new, lots of misc junkyard trim parts and anything that was missing/broke.
I can say really the only thing wrong with this is the kade burns a lot of oil and needs a ring job, the rear defrost needs soldered, paint and some more bodywork and fiberglass work.I did not use zip ties on the body kit it is bolted on with lots of hours getting the thing to fit. Just a few zipties for engine harness wires here and there. Nothing on this is rigged or half arsed either.The driver side frame was rusted, but not through or anything like that. Not nearly as bad as you usually see on these things. it just needed one of the three sides of the rail repaired just to be safe.
This car is my daily with 170k on the car and the ka24de had 120k was rebuilt when i bought the motor. The last owner didn't do the best rebuild on it, so I took it down and checked all the clearances and torqued everything. Bores were decent rings aligned properly, but unfortunately it burns oil.Compression numbers were all around 170 something but cyl 3 had about 161psi which is the oil burner.
