Selling the 1jzs14 project 99.9% done

This is really hard for me. I have put so much time and money in this car that it is not funny, at all. I built this car with the intentions of being a reliable and fully streetable monster.

I've decided to sell the car because I'm getting out of the car scene. I'm graduating this semester from Purdue University. I've realized there are so many things I haven't done because I've sunk every hard earned dollar and summer into this hobby. I'm graduating college and hope to leave the nest but I haven't saved a thing. It sucks that it has come to this but I think its the best thing for me to do for myself. This is really hard for me since this is my only hobby and I'm sure we all express the same intense passion for it.

The car is currently at Sound Performance in Bensenville, Il. They have put it together and got it running. I have not seen the car since I dropped it off and left for school which was the 2nd week of august.

Brakes:

Suspension:

Cusco Door bars

Engine:
2jzgte AEM EMS

Greddy timing belt
Garrett DBB GT3076R w/ .82 a/r 3" V-Band

Custom fuel rail w/ 72lb low impedance domestic injectors
Custom engine/trans mounts
Huge thick FMIC
2.5" Powdercoated gold intercooler piping
T-bolt clamps on everything
Rear mounted battery
Oil catch can setup

The car has PS, but the A/c and heat have been deleted. The tachometer or speedometer is not wired up. I intended the Gauge-tech for these purposes, if you click the gauge-tech link, you will read that it will display this through the AEM and much more.

What the car needs:
The car runs GREAT. It made 320 whp at 13 psi BUT it only revs to 5800-6000rpm. It Idles Solid. It doesn't smoke. Starts Up everytime. Its making the power it should, which leads SP and I to believe it's some kind of electrical problem. Sound performance is stumped and honestly I'm sick of dealing with them despite their "great" reputation. I'm at school and its my last semester so I don't have time to source the problem out.

Other than that it will misc things, bulbs, sound system/speakers, Sunroof trim. Your own steering wheel because I am keeping my ballin' mahogany Personal steering wheel for sentimental reasons.

The chassis is extremely extremely clean. The title is clean. The car has not been in any accidents, the underside is super clean also. It was a Florida car. It has around 116k miles. The car has NOT been drifted, the e-brake is still super tight. The dash has some drill holes from a previous planned gauge setup on the passenger side. I was going to just put a cf panel over them to cover them up.


This car is not a joke. The engine setup mirrors that of Ueno's drifting soarer. Imagine how it will respond in a s14 platform. Don't waste my time with BS offers. You guys who have already broken it down know that there is alot of money in the car. The car is one step away from putting a very very big smile on someone's face. I have put alot of time and research in putting this setup together and I hope its not going to a waste.


The car is for sale for only $15,000 FIRM FIRM FIRM x a million. I'm losing an unspeakable amount of money on this. NO TRADES, I already have a DD, 300TE ftw. There's easily almost over twice that amount in the car and more than 15k in parts alone. This is the most fair quick-sale price I have decided upon. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! Call me (Howard) at 847 217 8897. Pm'ing me doesn't me you are serious!

Sound performance is still in the process of finding the electrical problem so there is a good chance that it will be resolved. If that is the case the price will be 17,500 FIRM.


Here are a few "before" pics of the engine bay. And some pictures of the car getting loaded onto the flatbed to be taken to Sound Performance. REMEMBER: I haven't taken any pics since SP did work on the car, I can ask them to take some pics for me and I'll post them up.

Update:
Got the car back from Sp a while back. Runs decent. I have the dynochart of it making 310 whp at 5500 at 12psi. After 5500 is just dips down. So obviously its just an electrical problem. The car does not smoke at all. Also, the recirculating dumptube was welded on wrong so its not allowing the v-band between the turbo and DP to seal properly. You would have 3 options, cut and realign, cut and make external dump, or just make a new dp which isn't hard at all. Car is very strong, I took it out for a drive and it pulls hard. There is also oil leaking from the oil line fitting just fyi. I'm at school for my last semester so I haven't touched anything.

13,200 firm with 350z wheels with 80% tread.


Will take trades for a clean 300zx TT, s2000, 240/260z, 190e 16v 5spd, e34 m5

so you want $13.5k for a car that runs decent and actually needs work. I'm sorry, but you might want to take off the "firm" on your price and take an offer lower than that if you want to sell

I'm in a very similar situation, except I won't be graduating from Purdue and I would like to stay in the car scene. I've blown all my money on my car. I have one more semester left after this one, and I don't have much money to put towards a house.

Good luck with the sale and congrats for almost being done with school.
