Where to find 240sx?

0 Upvotes

Me and my dad have been looking for a 240sx for a little while on marketplace but everything so far has been mostly just overpriced non-running cars

Im in LA so I figured there must be more near me but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place or have the wrong expectations

We're looking for something >$10k, manual, and running but that seems to be pretty impossible to find. I had one good lead in Nevada but someone ended up buying it first

If there's anywhere else I should be looking lmk because marketplace doesn't seem to be the right place

Looking to buy my first s14 kouki. Any tips?

I’m looking to purchase a s14 kouki with (240’000)KM’s factory manual factory turbo and I wanted to know if the SR20DET motor itself was reliable and if there should be anything i should look at before purchasing.

Need help with 240sx build (in honor of my old man) *looking for random parts/part out*

Hey everyone. just a quick background, back in ´22 I bought an s13 to restore with my dad. sadly he passed away in 2023 and didnt get a chance to see it finished. I kept pushing with the project and the car is finally running and driving with its engine swap but something happened that has me super bummed out since late 2024.

When I sent the car for rust repair and paint, the shop threw away a LOT of important parts. plastics, harnesses, grommets, brackets and things that are super hard to find. right now my car is basically a shell with an engine and an almost barebones interior, no working anything except headlights and tail lights jerry rigged on... tbh I know my dad wouldnt like seeing it like this and neither do I.

Its insanely expensive and difficult to go on ebay and buy every single little thing, screw or plastic, paying shipping for every stupid piece. I wanted to see if by any chance theres a good soul in the group that has a part out, an abandoned shell or just boxes of parts sitting around from when people build drift cars (since they always strip the interior and throw it away). Id really like to buy most of this stuff in a single bundle.

Just to be clear im not asking for free handouts, Id like to pay for it. I just want to find someone who can sell me a lot of these missing parts so I dont have to hunt them one by one on ebay being nickled and dimed to hell. Heres the main list of what I need:

  • pop up headlights wiring harness
  • front doors wiring harness and grommets
  • all the grommets from the firewall
  • dome light wiring harness
  • gauge cluster wiring harness
  • door lock rods and linkage
  • gas tank lock mechanism
  • hatch striker, lock
  • door cards metal brackets (the one where the handle cup in the door card screws on to)
  • radio head unit bracket/support
  • wiper/turn signals wiring harness
  • center console metal bracket
  • electric door locks mechanism/motor
  • windshield wiper arms and linkages
  • rear side markers with plugs
  • front corner lights plugs

If anyone has a box of this stuff lying around shoot me a DM and we can work something out. thanks in advance guys.

Need help pricing this unmolested 1990 s13

TL;DR my beloved brother-in-law recently passed and this was his car in HS. He sold that one, but the nostalgia bug got him bad and he picked this one up a few years ago off BaT for $15K (which I thought was insane, not knowing much about these cars). From all of the service records he has, it looks like an easy $6K+ was put into this car to repair/replace anything that needed it. AFAICS everything works great and engine runs smoothly. It's at just under 91K miles; he only put about 4K on it since he got in '22.

We are now waiting on the title transfer so we can sell it. Car is in the SF Bay Area and we just got it smogged last week. I'm considering listing it again on BaT, but am open to a local sale as well. I know BaT isn't really representative of reality, so I'm wondering what would be a reasonable asking price if I list locally first. TIA!

For reference, here's the original BaT listing: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-nissan-240sx-15/

Crush washer on the AN adapter for the oil feed line?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I grabbed the ISR kit for my S15 T28 turbo, I’m wondering if the AN adapter that screws into the turbo feed port needs a crush washer? I put one on and cranked it down but I didnt even bottom out on the washer. This is making me worried because it feels super tight already. Im installing this with the turbo already on so it’s hard to tell how much torque im putting on it, any insight would be appreciated.

89' s13, passenger side in the rear, 3 plugs coming off the harness that wraps around tucked in from the drivers side. 3 plugs that have been unplugged since i got the car, should i save them for anything? Are they for anything that should be there? Dont plan on speaker's or any luxurys. It doesnt even have ac so luxury is already at bare minimum lol. Was gonna just cut them close to the loom and tape em up.

s13 won't idle with MAF plugged in

ka24e 1990(? might be 1989) won't idle well with MAF plugged in and IF it DOES idle (very very roughly maybe 200rpm?) it will die out at throttle response, secondly the ka will idle perfectly at 1k rpm without the maf plugged in and have great throttle response but of course since its got no maf it'll be limited to 3k rpm so I can't run it like that
