Found it on cars.com. Its a 92 coupe 5spd base model chassis has 225,000mi on it. Motor was rebuilt last year so theres about 10,000mi on it. Havent seen it yet but the guy said theres a lil dent on the quater panel nothin major tho. the front end is grey while the back is green because he did the silvia swap then switched it with his new car. He painted most of the interior black but some is still tan. E-brake is broke and side mirror, he will give me a mirror tho. If i want i can get recaro seats with it with no brackets. Price was $2000/bo with the seats i figure i can get it without the seats for like $1200, might take the seats tho.

Everything is stock so i can do everything right this time. My nsport kit still isnt in but should be any day. This would be great with a fresh engine and after i sell my 95 that will give me even more money to play with (550's, JWT ecu, Cobra maf). I would fix any lil dents then primer the whole car or maybe jsut get it painted.

BTW i've done a leakdown on my car but if i want to do a compression check on this one can i unplug the injectors, pull the spark plugs and crank using the ignition or do i have to take off the under cover to use a wrench?

why not just disconnect teh fuel pump, turn the car over a couple times, then start your compression test?
