seattlejester Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Pains me to say, but looks like time may have come for me as it has for others. I started school a couple months ago and keeping this car is an expense I can't justify. I've spent the last month or two cleaning up the car and fixing small points here and there. My car is pretty well documented on here, feel free to ask any questions. I'll update the post as I remember things. Up for sale is my 1971 Datsun 240Z. Engine: SC300 2jz-ge non VVTI Head machined by action machine ($700 or so, machined to hold high boost, 3 angle valve job, new cam buckets from toyota, decking, cleaning, etc) Cometic MLS headgasket ARP head studs OEM toyota seals for cams, front and rear main seals Treadstone stainless steel cast manifold Borg Warner S257SX-E with AGP 0.7 T4 non twin scroll hot side Precision 39mm waste gate Turbo XS blow off valve 4 AN oil feed and 10 AN return Front Facing Intake Manifold Toyota 1ZZFE Smart Coil on plugs NGK BKR7E (I think) Distributor delete Valve covers tapped for big pressure relief 3 inch down pipe and full exhaust, muffler and vibrant ultra quiet resonator Suspension: BC Extreme low coilovers Tubular RLCA Techno Toy Racing GTX-2 ST rear sway bar with spacers for correct alignment MSA front sway bar Energy suspension poly bushings where applicable Drivetrain: CD009 Short shifter Shifter relocator 1lb shift knob SS braided clutch line Wilwood Clutch master Southbend SS clutch kit with exedy quiet disc Drivelines NW overbuilt drive shaft (massive joints) R200 VLSD CV axles 280Z 27 spline stub axles Brakes: Toyota 4 piston 4x4 brakes Las Vegas rear disc conversion kit with 300zx rotors and 240sx calipers CuNiFer replacement lines Braided SS brake lines 15/16 280ZX brake master cylinder A1 brake booster Hydraulic hand brake Precision ball valve for rear brake lock Wilwood rear proportioning valve Interior: Sparco R100 seats Schroth 4 point ASM harnesses with pads Green LED gauges throughout Tablet with shadow dash for main readout Fuel: AEM rising rate fuel pressure regulator AN fuel lines front to back Camaro LS1 fuel tank Racetronix fuel pump Exterior: Klearz turn signals with LED lights Clear side marker Gatling gun LED projectors Headlight covers Xenon front air dam Front bash bar style front bumper Shaved rear end Hella stock replacement horns (not supertones) Aerocatch latches Quick latch pins Wheels: Enkei 92 15x7+0 Kumho Ecsta 225/50/15 Lots included, tons of stock parts, lots of spare JZ parts, interior carpet, panels, and lots of parts that haven't made it on the car like a dash cap, electric power steering, new steering parts. It is a 10 footer for sure, to make it shine it can use some body work, but mechanically it is really sound. Rust has been cut out and replaced so solid chassis. I've driven it quite a bit this last summer including a 300+ mile round trip a little while ago so perfectly drivable. I'll update the posting as time goes. Looking for $14,000 Trades: maybe something interesting, really only looking for maybe a BMW 335i/xi N54, or a Jeep LJ, both with a bit of cash.

Neverdone Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 First off: BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second: You'll probably have an easier time selling that if you spend the 250 or so dollars on some interior vinyl to make it look less "project car".

seattlejester Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I'm with you I think an extra grand or two would probably clean it up real nice and make it much more presentable, I just have limited time and access. I go back maybe once a month if I'm lucky, and spending my time off working on the car is a bit depressing. Plus, no income anymore so I'd have to do it on credit which is not in my nature.

Zetsaz Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I still have full vinyl and most of the interior pieces from the series 1 I scrapped. Really only good for patterns for people looking for a restoration sort of job, but most of it is pretty okay. Was gonna sell for like $50 plus shipping. You can have it for the price of some tasty tacos next time you're around and we hang out. Also, for this interested in the car. I've driven it and can confirm that it's a pretty excellent ride. More well sorted in terms of function that most of the Datsun I come across. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks for that endorsement, and I've found and fixed quite a few things since then. Far more pleasant seating (chair moved back), driving position (pedals adjusted), much less noise from the exhaust and interior rattling. Tune is being worked on still, chickenman has been a big help and I plan on getting the tune more sorted before it goes anywhere. I may take you up on that, I'll let you know next time I get back over the mountains, we'll have to take her out for a spin before she goes Power wise, should be good for at least 500hp, the turbo apparently is rated for 650hp or so, but haven't seen too many people reach that point with it. Currently running 15lbs of boost. Feels like a pretty solid mid to high 300hp level to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonA Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Did you drop the compression ratio down or is it an E85 car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Comp dropped via cometic 2 or 2.4mm head gasket, I'll have to look up the order form. It is a non-VVTI engine so non interference, I think around 8.5ish to 1 compression ratio. Really boost friendly, but not so low to be as sluggish like a stock L28ET off boost.

seattlejester Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Probably about 50 "interested parties," a lot of fall throughs or no shows. Lots of odd trade offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
