Price: 13KHello, I’m selling my 1989 Nissan 240sx (s13) fastback (It’s the one everyone calls hatch back) 1991 front bumper. The car originally was from Kentucky, which then it was bought by a tuner shop owner (Ben at garage Kwai for those who know), which it then sat in his shop for five years (correct me if I’m wrong). The car’s engine bay was painted silver, and then he had molded wide body onto the rear (50mm), shaved off the antenna, and so the car sat on, until I stopped by his shop and was just looking around and then I saw it, it was beautiful. All the car needed was love and care. So I managed to grab the car from him for 1G.
I already had a 1991 s13 at the time, which I and my brother swapped our selves. I got rid of my 91’ (which was a rust bucket) and we began piecing this car back together because it was pretty much completely taken apart from inside to partially outside. The #1 reason why I bought this car (I bought just the shell) was because it practically had no rust at all, and a manual. My 91’ was an Automatic and it was a pain swapping that thing. When I just got that car it was still primed and unpainted, so after we got the motor in and got it running I had the car painted at Maaco for 600 bucks. The color is supposed to be silver but at certain times of day it looks very light blue, so it’s like two tone paint almost (painted maybe a year and ½ ago I’d say).
I also have the Type x wing (replica but exactly the same), which was painted too, but I took it off for now. The car was never in an accident, I always tried hard to take good care of her. I recently had the front windshield replaced because the previous one had a crack which grew over time. The quarter mirrors were put back with glue after the wide body so there was some leaking whenever I went to car wash, so I tried patching it up with some clear silicone but it still leaks, but easily fixed if given the right time and effort, I kind of did it fast. The car also needs some new rotors and brake pads all around. I have replaced the rear ones with 180sx rotors and I have new ceramic Axxis brake pads (back only) haven’t even been opened yet.

I made a custom front lip (recently actually)
50mm spacers in the rear I suggest getting better offset wheels
Such big spacers are good to drive on streets but not good for the track, the wheel hubs could break. Otherwise they work fine.
Front and rear strut bars plus c-pillar bar and also the little bar that goes on the back of the sub frame, behind the diff (all installed)
After Market pulley set (power steering, water pump, underdrive pulley, all anodized blue) Brand new, never used, might need different belts, not really sure.
Sony CD player
New rear speakers
Rear seats have been taken out but will be included with the car along with a bunch of other extra parts. Also I have removed sound dampening, to reduce more weight.
Now here’s some bad stuff (depending what you consider bad). The power steering pump is not connected, but is on the car, just no belt. A/c doesn’t work because of the swap, heat still works. Rear tail light center garnish has lightning like crack on the very right side (not that visible). Under the passengers seat there was a little hole, so my brother's friend cut a square out and re-welded everything, I kind of sanded it down and covered it with a rubber paint, but I suggest it be re-sanded so there is no rust at all (under the carpet and below the car), and re-painted. When you turn on high beams only 1 light works, probably just faulty wire in the head light wire harness. Speedometer doesn’t always work, so I couldn’t tell you how many miles I put on it, though I can assure you I haven’t put much on it considering I don’t really drive it much, except to work which is 10 minutes away. The reason to why it's that way because we put in the 180sx gauge cluster and the U.S. speedometer. I will include two gauge clusters so you may be able to fix that.
The switch to raise and lower the head lights have been modified a little (I snipped the brown wire) so I could do the sleepy eyes trick, also a good vent for filter but you have to put it really low. Here’s how you do it, turn on the head lights, then hit that switch and turn the head lights off. Then quickly press that switch 2 times to lower manually, doesn’t work with head lights on. later turn head lights on and then after driving turn head lights off, the lamps will stay up so just hit the switch once, and it will go back to normal, in other words they will go up and down by just turning head lights on/off again. There is no wind shield fluid reservoir installed, though I have it, it’s missing one motor, but easily found at a junk yard. I’m sorry if I missed anything but that should be it.
The car is really fun to drive, I’d say it’s more of a track car then a street car, but hey I’ve been driving it on the street for 2 year, so it’s matter of opinion. I poured countless hours of work into this car, lots of sweat and blood went into making it what it is today, and the funny yet ironic thing about it is that it’s not even close to being all it can be, it’s just that I can’t afford going further with this car. In the right hands this car can be incredible, especially the shape it’s in. A roll cage, good seats, bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bigger maf, bigger breaks, a tune, 180sx side skirts, type-x rear 3 piece bumper, and maybe deep dish wheels, and this car will be perfect along with A few other little things. This car can be a start to great beginnings for someone with time, enough money, and devotion.
I can’t explain how hard it is for me to sell this car, and I’ll tell you right now if you’re going to low ball me then don’t waste your time, to me this car is worth every penny I have it up for and more, so please understand why I can’t go any lower then what the price is already set at, will need the money up front, I wont do monthly payments, I need cash now so I can buy another car, but I’m not in a big hurry so don’t push your luck.
