1995 Nissan 240sx Se Sr20det Jdm S14 on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
My dream, as a petrol head and a JDM faithful, was to one
day build a proper, rear wheel drive, JDM street machine. I almost did; I am a
few fingers short of finishing my dream. It is very sad I have to realize my
current priorities in hand and utterly unfortunate to announce, she has to go. When I purchased the shell she was wrecked and even dough
the radiator support, tie rods, fenders and the hood were damaged, it had an
arrow straight chassis. So of course I adopted her as my project even dough she
did not have a front end, carpet, door and interior panels, wheels, brakes, nor
an engine or drive train. Today, not only the wrecked parts have been “replaced”
(not bent back), it has been replaced professionally and with proper OEM and
performance parts. She has a full JDM Zenki front end with JDM radiator support
and JDM radiator, its fan, and even JDM A/C parts, lush carpet, clean and next
to new interior, staggered Varrstoen wheels wrapped in almost new Nexen tires,
a complete 300ZX TT brake conversion with the proper R33 skyline e-brake cable
and stainless steel lines, and of course a SR20DET with stock matching
transmission and other stock parts like all the A/C parts. But I wouldn’t even
pick any of those plus points to really tell you how I feel and know what this
S14 Silvia is now.. Only 2 words will do; “REALIABLE THRILLER!” This 1995 Nissan S14 SE has taken months of my undivided
attention and over $16k has been spent to get it to where it stands today.
Everything, except for the sunroof, has been done properly, professionally, and
with my dream on my mind at all times. By the time I got to the sunroof I was
broke. Also, I have not fiddled with a lot of its OEM integrity and
configuration resulting in a very reliable daily driver. To list what she has: ·
Full JDM Zenki front end conversation
professionally done by Better Bodies of Lamont ·
Very reliable, almost stock, but powerful S13 SR20Det
Red Top with stock matching transmission professionally installed by RPM

that goes in the radio spot, $40 more. ·
Autometer Z Series essentials 1. Mechanical
Boost gauge. 2. Electrical water temp gauge. 3. Electrical oil pressure gauge
(not hooked up but have the hardware and you can have it). I also have a
mechanical fuel pressure gauge with stainless steel lines, $40 more. I also
have JDM Apex-i turbo timer, $40 more. ·
Re-done Headliner, sun visor’s, and rear seat in
suede type material ·
Clean and many new interior panels and parts.
The interior is full (all the panels). ·
Xexon HID’s 6000k ·
2 different types of custom lug nuts on all
wheels. Uses 2 different keys. ·
Optima red top battery and relocated in the
trunk. ·
Voltage stabilizer Also, she has undergone some weight reduction so you won’t
find any speakers, as it does not have a radio and I am too busy enjoying
myself in the bends. But it does have an electric antenna which you can have
and all the radio wires have been left intact. It also has had its 30 lbs.
sunroof mechanism removed and the sunroof glass has been mounted on removable
brackets and sealed. I also have the whole sunroof mechanism assembly intact,
which works, and which comes with the car. This is the only job I tried
to tackle by myself and honestly, It doesn't look professional but its easily
fixable especially if you find a new/used glass. Also, I have a big box of goodies that
comes with the car which has all the parts to get the A/C going and a spare
alternator, brackets, hoses, stereo antenna….etc. But do not think it’s a light weight rattle box in the
cockpit. I have also installed GT mat, at select locations to give the interior
a solid feel of a refined car. So, while paying attention to the minutest
details, I have come very close to finish building a reliable, daily driven,
JDM street machine. LSD and a paint job, a few minor things like turbo timer,
and racing seats would put this car aside from all, an occasional nut case and
a daily driven JDM S14 turning heads. Her tensioner pulley’s bearing have been jammed due to
non-usage and the belt is not present, which is common since we don’t use a/c,
but the bearings are cheap and replaced easily. It’s just sad I can’t finish
this time. I got a quote from a guy, to have the a/c running it will be 500 which
include custom lines and belt and all, provided all the JDM A/C parts that goes
in it. That comes with the car! I am asking 6500. Motivated seller and looking for serious
inquiries only. Thanks for looking. you wont find a better deal. take advantage of my misfortune. P.S. I have posted a couple of videos in a hurry on youtube.

Nissan Kicks concept debuts in Sao Paulo [w/videos]
Tue, 28 Oct 2014The Sao Paulo Motor Show only comes around once every other year, and Nissan - an automaker deeply vested in the Latin American market - isn't missing out on the opportunity to showcase a new crossover concept.
Called the Kicks concept, the crossover seems to slot in size-wise in between the Juke and the Rogue. Nissan isn't saying much about it, though, aside from its having drawn its inspiration from Brazil with a "satin titanium" finish and bright orange trim - the former taking its cues from Sao Paulo and the latter from Rio.
While emphasizing its Brazilian character, Nissan also stresses that the concept's creation was "a product of global collaboration." So while it isn't saying anything about production feasibility, it is seemingly suggesting that if it were put into production - and as we stated previously, we think it just might - it could stand to be a global model and not confined strictly to South America.
Nissan IDX production model to get sharper, less retro styling
Sat, 23 Aug 2014The Nissan IDx seems like the type of concept that auto enthusiasts wish they could be driving. With a compact size, style inspired by the classic Datsun 510 and a rear-wheel-drive powertrain, it certainly ticks many of the boxes that people want. Unfortunately, the car seems to be miles away from actually getting a green light for production, but rumors about the retro coupe's future keep cropping up.
The last we heard about the IDx, the biggest complication with the coupe was that it was a tough project to make profitable. Nissan didn't have a cheap enough rear-wheel drive platform to make the affordable coupe work. The latest rumors point to a potential solution to this problem. According to Motoring from Australia speaking to an insider close to Nissan, the new plan is to tweak the styling to be less retro and adapt the car to work on the platform for the forthcoming, next-generation Z car.
The new look reportedly cribs from the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept from the 2014 Detroit Motor Show, including its floating roof design and sharper edges around the fenders. In terms of power, the source tells Motoring, the IDx could use a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with around 180 horsepower on tap. That might not sound like too much, but remember the Z car itself is rumored to get smaller and lighter when it's new generation hits the stage. If the weight is low enough, potentially using it for the IDx might just work.
Nissan reveals radical BladeGlider concept for Tokyo debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Radical reinvention of the automobile doesn't happen very often. There's a reason they refer to it as "reinventing the wheel", after all. But that's what a team of racecar designers did with the original DeltaWing concept in 2010. Originally proposed as an IndyCar racer, the project was subsequently redesigned for Le Mans. That's when Nissan got on board, supported the project for a few races, then took the design in its own direction with the ZEOD RC. And now it's taking it to the road... via the auto show.
What we have here is the BladeGlider concept, a proposal for a delta-shaped electric sportscar which Nissan will present at the Tokyo Motor Show in a couple of weeks. Designed to focus on driving pleasure, the BladeGlider is about as radical as they come. Like the DeltaWing and ZEOD RC, it's got a narrow front track and wide rear to minimize drag and optimize stability, packing a 1+2 seating arrangement to put the driver front and center like in a McLaren F1, with upward-swinging doors and underbody aerodynamics to keep it glued to the road. In-wheel motors (of unspecified output) provide the power, a lightweight lithium-ion battery (not to mention the carbon-fiber bodywork) keeps it all fearther-like, and weight distribution is heavily biased towards the rear at 30:70.
A radical concept, to be sure, but here's the kicker: Nissan wants to build it. As you can see from the press release below, the BladeGlider "is both a proposal for the future direction of Nissan electric vehicle (EV) development and an exploratory prototype for an upcoming production vehicle". While it would undoubtedly take some time to develop, much less certify for road, seeing one of these - or even better, driving one - on our favorite stretches of tarmac strikes us as a prospect worth waiting for.
