So I am running out of time and I'm going to Europe for a year. I'm going to need cereal cash to have fun with so I think I's gonna have to sell my car.
Chassis:
early 89 240sx coupe with unknown mileage on the chassis/motor. The tachometer had ~220k miles on it when I bought the car about 2 years ago and it never worked when I had it. When I bought it it had been sitting for a number of years and was in rough shape. I have no idea on accident history, but as with most 240's I imagine it's had at least one. Having said that it doesn't dog track and it aligns just fine and there's no evidence of any major body work. I have fixed the body damage, it needs a good sanding/prepping and paint to be done.
The car has an S&W cage with custom front down bars and no door bars. The stock dash was not going back in with the SW cage so I made a custom sheet-metal dash that fits in place of the stock one. The VIN was transferred to this custom dash. There is also a custom switch panel in the dash that controls all of the electronics.
Wiring:
The car was entirely re-wired with a summit universal 18-circuit harness. I pulled out a couple circuits because I didn't need them, but I kept the wires and they will be included. Everything on the car works and the switch panel controls: battery cut-off, wipers, hazards, turn signals, fans, headlights, back-up lights, Ignition, and a push starter button. The battery was moved to the passenger-side rear seat, currently awaiting a new battery box. The battery is wired to two cut-off switches, one on the switch panel in the dash and the other mounted to the cage right by the window on the passenger side. Both are simple key-type cut-off switches. All of the wiring is sheathed in wire-loom and routed with push in zip-tie holders.
Engine-control:
The engine is wired up with a Megasquirt II with PCB 3.0 and the megasquirt relay board. The megasquirt wiring is routed in the same manner as the chassis harness, and both are completely seperate and could be pulled from the car in maybe an hour. The megasquirt is set-up to control the engine as a stand-alone and has a ton of capabilities beyond what its set up for. It's just a matter of researching and implementing it. The system is simple enough and everything functions properly with it. I deleted all the emissions equipment in the process. Car has a 255 lph Walbro Fuel pump on it also. I'll be making a mount for the megasquirt over the next couple days.
Engine:
The engine is basically stock, I deleted all the emissions equipment from the motor, including the butterfly system right at the head that is vacuum operated. It has an e-bay stainless steel header wrapped in header wrap and painted in black hi-temp paint. The exhaust is a home-made 2 1/4" with only a simple muffler at the end(it sounds decent and is relatively quiet). I made a custom aluminum 2.75"(the size of the throttle body opening) intake with some mandrel bent tubing and TIG'ed it together. The radiator is replaced with a cx-racing aluminum radiator from e-bay with dual 12" fans controlled by a switch. It has an oil filter relocation kit on it plumbed to an FC rx-7 oil-cooler which is GIANT. Only accessories run by the motor are alternator, which is ~1 year old, and P/S pump which has a newer set of lines on it that do NOT leak. The Rear main seal was replaced on the motor and the rear tranny seal was also replaced. The motor was completely hand-cleaned when I started and it is still free of any leaks.
Drive-train:
The flywheel was lightened down to ~16-17 lbs. and the clutch is just an oem replacement with plenty of wear left in it. The drive-shaft is an aluminum one-piece that weighs 11 pounds. I replaced the entire rear sub-frame with one with a VLSD, Solid aluminum sub-frame bushings, and new ball-joints on the LCA's.
Brakes:
Brake lines are all swapped to SS braided lines, as well as the clutch line. The front discs are EBC slotted rotors, and the rears are stock replacement rotors. The car has Hawk HP+ pads all around. Clutch slave and master are both about a year old.
Interior:
The Car has a single ebay Fiberglass bucket seat and a stock S13 passenger seat. D/S has an RCI 5/6-point harness and passenger side just a lap belt. The steering wheel is a Sparco wheel with a quick-release and hub on it. Gauges are a tach/fuel level/voltmeter/oil pressure/water temp. There's room in the gauge cluster slot for two larger gauges(speedo and tach) current tach is mounted on top of the dash.
Suspension:
I put in solid aluminum sub-frame bushings, swapped out the lower ball joints, put in poly bushings on the LCA's and sway bars, and the car has tension rods, toe rods, traction rods, and RUCA's. The car also has adjustable tensions rods and tein outer tie-rods with peak performance inners(with the extra washer's on them for extra angle). The car has Buddy Club D-Spec coilovers on it which are brand new. Rear sway-bar was swapped for the larger oem one off the rear subframe I bought.
Wheels are Borbets 15x7 +35 set of 4 and a total of 6 diamond racing 15x8 +0 4x114.3 wheels, 4 are still brand new in box and 2 are on the car. The fronts look to fit fine without any fender rolling, and haven't tried them on the rears yet. The studs are ARP extended studs that are I think 2.5" long. Fenders will be rolled in the next week or so to get rid of the sharp lip.
I've done absolutely everything on this car, so if you have any questions I can definitely answer any of them and feel free to ask. I'd like $4900 with just the borbets or $5500 with just the diamond racing wheels. With the megasquirt if you popped in a built ka you could boost, tune and have a comptitive professional car. I can do door bars in an afternoon if buyer wants them. Car runs fine now, planning on street-tuning it a little further to lean it out a bit but a good hour at a dyno should have it making peak power(it's running the equivalent of a stock timing map). Any questions E-mail or phone are the quickest contacts: [email protected],
If you want more pictures I can take detailed pictures any time of anything you want.

Little remaining wiring mess is from wide-band which doesn't come with the car and the wires for the radio which I left because I don't have speakers to wire up.
