So I just got a 240sx from a guy on craigs list. $3500. The car is in overall good condition. Paint and body arn't bad. Motor is sick. Here is the post.
Craigslist Seller wrote:I am looking to sell my s13 hatch due to the fact it is a project and at the moment I don't have the time or money to dump into it. It does run and drive as I drive it daily. It has an rb20 swap with mild bolt ons as well. The car is reading 120k on the odometer but unsure of accuracy as the speedo does not work. If interested just shoot me a text to ********* and I can give more details and send pics. Looking to get $4000 OBO for the car.

Mods include tubular top mount turbo maniold, garrett t3/t04e turbo, turbo xs dual stage boost controller, 3" catback, 255lhp fuel pump, z32tt fuel filter, fmic, tophat performance upper intake plenum, and mounts, Full 5 lug conversion with z32 front brakes, stainless lines and S14 wheels.

So I love the car. Amazingly fast, Beautiful bucket seats, full interior, My Veilside carbonfiber spoiler, turbo, and all that is wonderful but the speedo doesnt work and I dont even know how to start looking for the problem. Also No AC or Heat which I dont mind because I know how to fix that for the most part. So If anyone knows how to ease the pain of not knowing how fast your going without getting tagged by the cops let me know whats up.
Also any new comers advice on the 240sx let me know. Thanks guys.

Are you trying to sell the car or was that the seller's post?

As for the speedo thing. The speed sensor probably isn't hooked up. Check with the guy that did the swap and ask what speed sensor is in there. More than likely, you'll need to find one from a 240 manual.

as stated before,
it's probably the speed sensor.
I believe the z32 speed sensor will work.
someone needs to confirm though.
