OK here goes. I am trying to help out my buddy who no longer has a place to store the car or work on it since he joined the Army.

The car is a 1991 240SX Coupe. It has a 3.0 Liter VQ30DE 6 cylinder engine from a Nissan Maxima already mounted up. It has a 350Z lower oilpan to make it fit in a rear wheel drive platform. It also has a 350z 6-speed transmssion installed as well. The car needs to be finished but most of the parts to finish it are there.

The car is located in Jacksonville Florida. If you have any questions you can call me at 904-465-0458. My email is williamjeremyr@yahoo.com

Looks like an interesting project.

Definately don't have the space or time to take it on though.

What does it need to complete, parts wise. What would have to be done to get it driving? I'd love to make this into another drifting project and I can have a truck down there within a week.

It needs an intake manifold and the wiring finsihed. The easiest way to make it work would be to get an intake manifold from a nissan truck. The maxima computer and harness are both with the car so you would need to wire it up as well.

The motor and 350z transmission are mounted up and in the car. It is by no means in drivavble condition and it still needs alot of work but the 350z 6 speed by itself is worth more then $500.00. The car has a clean title and is in pretty good shape with no rust. It is a great deal even if you just wanted the shell to put a V8 or a sr20 in.

This is true, I mean, I already have my daily commuter/play toy, this would just be an addition to the funk. I'll meditate on it, if it's still available, I'll definitely scoop it up for the asking price.

It'd be worth that price just as a 240SX shell with no rust.

btw, that exterior pic has quite a bit of garage around it. That'd be pretty cool having an empty warehouse as a workspace.

I really miss all of the space. I had to move the 1976 bronco that am restoring to my mother in laws garage until I can finish the cage in my ITA car. I am having a hard time getting used to having my buisness outside after all this time being indoors.
