First off, I am a long time nissan lover :D I have 2 other Nissans, and have been a member of Nico for a while. I have read the FAQs ans the newbie stickys. Seems to be alot of good info here.

Here is what i got:

1992 240SX Hatchback w/ Silvia Front End Conversion (brick headlights), and 180SX Tails. Its a Sil80 conversion. It also has an S14 Blacktop (w/ the VVT thing) Greddy Front Mount intercooler, Blitz Active Clutch, Blitz Radiator, Greddy Downpipe, Megan StraightPipe, Tanabe Gold Medallion Concept G Blue exhaust. The interior is pretty rough but i figured that would be easy enough to fix.

I paid $4200 for the car, the body is straight and no rust, clean title. How did I do?

Also, it has a standalone nistune engine management system, I dont really know how to use it, or if its any good. Please help me out :D

It is definately running rich so I am going to get it tuned next weekend, is there anything quick/easy i should add before the tune?

THanks!

-Ryan

Sounds like a decent platform. Hopefully you are a good enough driver to utilize it properly.

Now, as for the nistune. Did he give you the software key? The nistune software is free to download, but you need a license (not cheap) to use it. When I bought mine from someone, they transferred the license to me.

Go to http://www.nistune.com for software, documents, downloads, and support. They also have an informative forum.

I will get pics up ASAP, the car is rattle canned flat black and the silvia front end conversion definately needs some work, nothing too crazy though.

Funny story, i was driving it back from Medford which is about 100 miles south of me, and the clutch slave cylinder went out on me after popping the gears pretty hard. I ordered the beefy Nismo cylinder but wont be here until wednesday, when I get it installed and the car going again, ill post some pics :D

Sounds like a decent deal depending on the condition of the car and how well the swap was done.
