Assuming I fix the minor problems with my 95SE, I'm going to be selling it real soon. I simply don't have the time or want to work on somthing that simply isn't fun to me anymore. I love boost and forced induction, but I'll be applying my knowledge to a different vehicle. One that isn't prone to breakage and has atleast some aftermarket. Most likely a MonteCarloSS with a fuel injected 454 already installed, I go look at her this weekend.

So back to my question. Assuming she runs well, what do ya think is a good starting price for my car?

Custom Turbo ManiTO4E in 60 trim with a .81 AR and a stage III wheel, laggy, better for dragFMIC and all custom piping.3" Custom DPRS*R Titanium ExhaustAeromotive Fuel Rail42lb Injectors300ZX MAFSAFCII tuned to run at 11.8 AFRMSD BTM for timingSMC Alcohol Injection KitMSD Inline Boost Pump, good for 450whpSunroofAll the power options etc...I'll even toss in my R32 GTR rims(gunmetal)

Body has a minor dings from road use and one small dent on the drivers door. I'll have it dyno'd prior to sale, but I'm guessing just over 300WHP on 91 pump.

Just give me your opinions so I can have an idea what you guys may pay.

ThxWD

how many miles on it? pics would probably determine how much extra you could get over 6000 bux. sorry to hear about ur decision as i'm sure ur car should be loads of fun to drive.

How unexpected! I thought WD was the stalward DIY king I'd say 6500 tops unless you sell it to some idiot 17 year old ricer w/ dad's checkbook. Clean S14 shoudl only be worth about 4500 or so, so thats fair IMO.

If you are wanting a car that is fun and doesn`t break down all the time then you want a GRAND NATIONAL!! Nice comfortable and it is a reliable cruiser.

These damn cars are just plain unrealiable, but you gotta pay to play. Im actually thinking of selling mine aswell, I hate to see it go but I rather own a car thats half as fun but be able to drive it 4 times as often. But you're a wuss it hasnt even been a year yet.

Well I think i'm going to put my car up for sale too. These KA-T's suck. I think I see why everyone goes SR...the reliability is next to none, and what's the point of wasting tons of money just to have it break? absolutely none.

I'd say I'd be interested in your car, but..I think I'll be looking for a SR'd one after I sell mine.

Lol, there are a lot of reliable KA-Ts and unreliable SRs too. What do you expect when you try to get more than 250 whp out of a 2-2.4 L 4 cylinder?

I'm not leaving NICO. I'm just moving on to bigger and better things. The KA24 is a good motor. I'm just tired of pumping my hard earned money into somthing that has consistantly done me nothing but bad. Parts are expensive, there is not much aftermarket, what there is is over priced.

Domestic...you simply can't argue with the cost. You can't argue displacement. So those two things add up to me switching back to General Motors.

I'm still addicted to boost, so I'll be on here just like I always am. Cept my sig will have a blown V8 in it instead of a blown KA.

NICO is more then a car club to me, its become a family. So I'm here for the long haul.

The car is going in for a full paint job before it gets sold. As soon as I get the IC pipes painted and the DP rewrapped and all the wires covered in wrap. I'll post pics and what not.
