-manual shell-perfect dash-digital cluster-circuit sports reservoir tank-all the body work has been done-its currently ready for paint and im willing to paint it the factory red if buyer wants me too(ive gotten mixed interest from ppl around me, some say paint it others say leave it so if the buyer wants to change the color of the car all they have to do is spray it.)-5 lug conversion-fresh powder coated s14 wheels-z32 brakes all around including brake master cylinder-slotted and drilled rotors in the front-kouki taillights brand new from nissan dealership(my buddy works in the parts department)-tein lowering springs-strut tower bar(front and rear)

$500 depending on cond.-manual shellLeave it there alot of people hate shells sans dash-perfect dashSell or leave to make someone pay $500 for that shell-digital clusterSell for $60-circuit sports reservoir tank

So its just primed now?-its currently ready for paint and im willing to paint it the factory red if buyer wants me tooleave it-5 lug conversionSell off and put ugly cheap s14 wheels on-fresh powder coated s14 wheels-z32 brakes all around including brake master cylinder-slotted and drilled rotors in the front-kouki taillights brand new from nissan dealership(my buddy works in the parts department)-tein lowering springssell off-strut tower bar(front and rear)

But not parting anything off-$700

id rather sell it as a whole its taking up space in my garage and im trying to gather up money to put a down payment of a g35. yes it is currently primed but as i said i can have it painted factory red. i have the paint and my father has been doing body work and paint for about 30 years so i guarantee it is done right but to be honest 700 seems really low

$700 would actually be too much. It is a shell, no engine, no trans, with some decent parts on it. Worth about $500 with or without a new paint job. By the way, I dont care who your friend is, he didnt get you Kouki tails from the Nissan parts department, I work in one and JDM parts are not avail from Nissan dealers, that is a fact, so that is a dishonest statement. If you start telling a person that when standing at the car looking to buy, he is gonna wonder what else you are bsing about.

Also,

What kind of body work was done?Is there bondo all over the body?

actually i did order the taillights from the nissan dealership so please dont accuse me of being a liar. i just called my buddy who works there and he said that he ordered them through the nissan motorsports catalog which he said is only available to the dealerships.i have the receipt if anybody would like to see it. i have nothing to hide we are all car enthusiasts and im not trying to get over on anybody i just know that i have a really good starting point for someones project and i hate to see it just sit in my garage and collect dust ya know? i love these cars and i would really like to see this car end up in a good home

well im the guy he ordered them from soo yea what are you going say to me and i work at the big nissan dealer in SC and yes we sell jdm parts out of the nissan motorsport book just like courtesy nissan does online, so what ever nissan dealer you work at is pretty lam for not getting with the program, but hey im just saying the truth, if you dont belive me or my buddy that bought the tail lights that is your prob...

oo yea well i would like to put it up that this is a great starter car for some one that is ready for a 240

Any parts department can order off the JDM catalog. Courtesy Nissan and West Covina Nissan are two major dealerships that do it.
