it all depends on the price you can sell them for. theres enough sites out there where you can find just about, if not ANYTHING for an s-chassis...so you can sell whatever youd like, if word gets around that you can do it cheaper youll sell plenty.
interior trim, dashes, 5lug swaps, jdm steering wheels/adapters, random parts too that may be harder to find, sr or rb parts that helps with swaps etc.
really its all up to you, its your business

flux capacitors........uhh jk

No, If I were you I would shoot for either parts everyone can use (e.g. non-swap parts) that don't take up a lot of storage space like gauges, radiator hoses, etc. and sell to the general population. OR, I would sell specialty parts for things like an LS1 swap or VH/VQ swaps, serving those niches. Start small and work your way big, don't over do it or you will end up broke.

Rear seat deletes.

Here what you can do, if you sell something stock it, don't be another crap site who drop ships and back-orders with no inventory.
I also deleted your sig, no linking to sites like that please.

-Dashes/plastic dash covers

-Some kind of cup holder
-S14 manual seatbelts

-Cool looking floor mats
-steering hub adapters
-unique steering wheels

-5 lug conversion

Sell that stuff at cheaper prices than others, and you will have a lot of business sir. That stuff is in high demand and if you can get your hands on it for cheap, expect a nice profit.

my list of parts that lack in the community are...

Rear subframe braces. I'm lucky I actually got mine.
Rotor imp front strut braces. I love how out of the way it is and that it ties to the firewall.
ka24e specific grounding kits including the one for the ecu.
good assortment of wheel spacers.
aluminum differential bushings.

Then you might as well sell cooling panels and stuff like that as well.

If you don't mind sourceing your own oem parts and modifying them, I'm sure people would want emissions deleted stock intake pieces.

lol and a good stock of uncracked dashes.


S14 manual seat belts don't direct bolt. so if you had the sets of belts with a prefect fitting bracket.

Or get them out of a 200sx. then they are direct bolt in.

Yes they do. All you have to do is cut a whole in the plastic trim panel.

the S14 belts i have were an inch too short on the top to be direct bolt in but 200sx was direct.

Second the DDC sub harness and might as well throw in perfectly modified blend door motor setups. Most of these can be adapted from maxima parts but the sub harness is jdm only it seems
