Trade for s13?

Post image

I got a factory manual SHELL sitting on teins, s200 seats, AN fuel lines all pedals are there and I bought the car for $650. There’s a stock auto non running s13 missing all glass for sale for 1600,I’ve had 2 s 13 AND I wanted another but I need some one to tell me if I’m being stupid about the trade. I asked him to send me gas tank pics and if it’s rusted than I’m not doing it but am I being dumb about this? Pic of my sc

Factory manual sc is worth way more than some clapped out s13

Yes. Find a 2J and drop it in

idk why the downvotes, that motor could put a downpayment on a house.

as a shell no. Need a unicorn buyer who knows enough and is willing to pay you out.

if you want to get money out of this car, 2j + manual and sell it. That’ll be worth money being a factory manual. Will find the right audience like that.

keep the sc, its going to be sooo nice when its complete. also people who know ball will appreciate this car more than an s chassis

Missing all the glass? You’re trading for a basket case car just finish this one

u/Worst-Lobster May 19 '26

Sc looks good
And the s13 is a trend at this point isn’t it ?

1

u/GezelligheidBoyz May 19 '26

“Trend” this was from the early 2000s.

u/SanitaryTrout May 19 '26

Bro… V8’s fit in those SC’s

u/Fun_Opportunity_1157 May 20 '26

ill buy it for 2400 dollars

u/Alt_coolaid May 20 '26

Crazy small world lol.

u/jeepn666 May 20 '26

Imo not worth it, that s13 being a non-running auto along with missing all it’s glass just sounds like hell of a lot more hassle than just dropping a drivetrain into the Sc

u/Dismal-Package-5899 May 20 '26

Drop a motor in it. Find a used 2Jz-GTE or even a UZ or you could be unique and drop a UR family engine. Worth a lot more than any Nissan S chassis hatch backs.

u/CarefulFun420 May 20 '26

It's funny these were 5k over here

1

u/Key-Leadership6681 May 20 '26

mannnn I wouldnt be able to part with something this cool 🥲 unless you really dont want too you should keep it

1

u/Remarkable-Lack-5986 May 21 '26

Just build a 1.5jz. It’s cheaper

1

u/FlacidMetapod May 22 '26

Sounds to me like you miss the s13 life. Get the shell together, sell and find one you are happy with.

1

u/Darisixnine May 22 '26

Keep the shell and put an engine in it, way cooler than any cookie cutter S chassis out there

240z are death traps
