HELL YES!!!! 93 vert, red w/ a black top, LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THE MOTOR Here's the story...

The guy that I got the car from ownes the Firestone that sponsored me for tires. He got it from an older couple that killed the car! Not cosmetically, but, they f'ed the motor. The lady was on the way home one night, and the head gasket went out. Well, she kept driving it home and she got the car so hot, that in cylinders 3 and 4, she melted the piston rings to the pistons, lol. So, he got another motor out of a 93 I believe. It had about 30K on it. He completely rebuilt the whole motor. All new parts, new gaskets, all new timing components. Bored the block 20 over. Did all that work, and hasn't driven it more than 100 miles. He bought the car for his daughter, and the ***** doesn't want it!!!! So I bought it for $2,500!!!! Cheap for a vert. Only thing wrong with it is the back plastic. It has a 6" rip and a bunch of oxidation, like usual. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know about my buy. Here's some 2 week old pics...













Give me some feedback!!!

Wow very nice! That interior is looking very fresh! Wish my paint was that clean...oh well. Take good care of her and enjoy your new ride!

And be sure to give us a rundown on your plans for it.

$2500 is a good deal considering all that work. Believe me. This kind of thing never happens to me. You are lucky. You don't have to worry about the motor for a while and can focus on other stuff. Take good care of her.

You got a great deal! Pretty much everything about the car is in excellent condition, and you even have black leather and a full set of OEM mudflaps.

The only thing that stands out is the mismatched carpet. I don't know why Nissan put that same grey in every car regardless of interior color.

yea you are right about the carpet, weird. Seems like the 89-90 models are the only ones that had black carpet, and that was just some of them. But, I kinda like it, a little contrast isn't bad.

Yea if I come up with anything I'll let you guys know. If anything it will be vert specific. This is the first one I've ever had. I've been in the 240 thing since i was 16 and I'm 22 now. I don't know everything but I do know a good amount. So likewise, if you guys have any questions, I'll help if I can. I have almost 2000 posts on Z ilvia, I wish I would of found Nico earlier, but I'm here now, lol. I'm big into drifting. I've got a few sponsors. Here's a pic of me in my coupe at the last event.







I finally got some coils so I'll be ready for the next event.

NC is just catching the Vert craze. It was like the drift craze, but slower.

Welcome. I know a few nissan people in Wilmywood.
