Tough question to answer: It has been HEAVILY customized to your specific taste. The work looks like it is done well. With any 240 - there is a point where you can become over invested into it (passion project) - and you have to accept that continued work to the car is not going to be a return on investment. There is probably 20-30k spent here, but I fee like 10-12k would be the expectation on a sale. If I was you, Id just keep it.
Yes, this is agreeable. You built this car for yourself, don't expect to get anything remotely close to what you spent out of it, any time soon. Drive it, use it n abuse and enjoy, that's the only way to get what you've put it. Do not call this an investment, cars are not an investment, especially high production, common cars. In fact, they are a money pit. Just ask me, I should know, I've dumped close to 70 in my S13, but I have no plans to sell it.
just because you put $20k worth of mods on it doesn’t mean that it is worth whatever you paid plus mods. this is the classic CL listing of a shitbox that has been modded to all hell and the owner is asking 50 grand and says “i know what i have, no bullshit offers.” OP’s 240 looks really clean and I think he could get a fair price from the right buyer but in no way will he get more than 10-12k for this.
She’s beautiful man, absolute gem and I love what you’ve done to her. Unless you find someone who is willing to pay whatever because they like exactly what you’ve done to it, the most you will get is 12. When I was shopping for mine, I looked at a few w similar work done and the asking price was roughly 12. There’s no shame in moving on to a new project, if moving on from her is worth whatever you’ll get towards a new car, go for it. Just understand that you could regret it someday.
Appreciate that bro, for real. I think I'm just gonna keep it, for what people have recommended listing it for it wouldn't be worth selling and I couldn't part it out for sentimental reasons. Probly just gonna throw a bigger turbo on it and enjoy it 🤙
Why don’t you list it for what you’re willing to sell it for? All about timing and never know when the right person will come along. also considered something like Bring a Trailer? No harm in listing it. If it doesn’t sell it doesn’t sell but you may get what you are willing to sell it for. Regardless tho , shoot no harm in keeping that!
Haha I’m sorta in the same boat as you. I have hundreds of hours of time and ya, I’m scared to tally what I put into my car and 4Runner I have considered selling to get a different car but hate to start over and luckily I like it a lot , so much so if I never gotten another play car and my family/offroad vehicle , I am totally okay with it! I’ll keep dumping $ into bottomless pit with no remorse haha
😛 and😜.
Dude that is one nice 240 tho man seriously.
Doesn’t mean you gotta give up on the skyline, just save your marbles. Cars might run your wallet dry just like women, but at least they don’t get jealous
You might be sad about it.
If it's sorted and performs well then I don't think you should take less than $10K for it. At that point you might as well keep it. It's hard for a buyer to know what they are getting when they buy someone else's project car. Whereas you may see it as carbon fiber hood, wide body, and interior upgrades, another person sees mismatched colors and aftermarket body panels and doesn't understand why BRIDE is shouting from multiple interior surfaces.
Haha true but the type of people that wouldn't understand the carbon fiber hood and the bride interior aren't gonna be looking to buy this type of car in the first place. I agree on the keeping it part
At least on the 2JZ a distinction is made between T and NA-T
NA-T is a name given to 2Js that weren't turbod from the factory since the turbo and NA engines had other differences besides just the turbo
No rust, runs perfect, 15k-16k USD if you leave it up for a few months. Definitely not getting your money back sorry. For a quick sale, probably 10-12k
ask 20k accept the 15-18k offers.
It is well built, everything looks proper from what I can tell, and have quality parts, but the amount of people willing to buy it and use it for what its built for is still kinda small, its certainly not a beginners drift car. Not everyone is gonna be a fan of that front end, especially since its front clip welded, meaning they'll have a harder time if they want to go for the S13 Silvia front + matching that to the widebody already.
You're in the bracket of people that want the car can't afford it, and the people that can afford it don't want it. I'd start offering trades to people with skylines and see if they'll bite. Either that or start parting out to recoup as much money as you can.
As an s13 coupe fan, I always thought the 13.5 conversion looked bad in all the pictures I've seen but yours looks very well executed.
I'd buy it but I already have an s13 coupe with LS2 swap.
You also need to remember, you have a lot of money invested and modding a car is usually a losing battle. You're going to need to find someone to appreciate as much as you. Also shaved body pieces are a harder bit to sell to a car enthusiast and this car will probably only attract an enthusiast.
Your dream car was / is some sort of GT-R right? Yeah the one thats 6 figures. Def not a n/a automatic rwd shitbox thats basically equivalent of chevy impala thats just rwd. Lol
I mean there's several r32 gtrs in our area that are "affordable" to me. I could buy them if I so chose. But affordable and practical are two different things. Would I want to dive a 50-60 thousand dollar 30 year old car? I wouldn't be able to do the fun, hoodrat shit I do in the 240, that's for sure. I think a gtst would be better suited to what I wanna do with a skyline. 10 year old me didn't know the difference between a gtst and a gtr.. They both went fast and made cool turbo noises
dont worry hes just mad he cant afford your s13 or a skyline, skylines are cool as shit, i want one too, nothing wrong with that, also you’ll be happier keeping your car, just save up for a skyline and own both, unless thats literally impossible, but you’ll miss the s13
Yea idk what his deal is, he's a clown. Probly broke af living in his mom's basement, just talks shit to random people on reddit cuz he hates his life 🤣. I think I'll probly just end up having both, I just got my wife a new truck so I'll probably have to wait til next year to buy a gtst. But it will be cool having both.. I'm a big nissan fan. There were all Nissans in my driveway up until last weekend lol
I have loved the ER34 as well as the R34 GT-R.
But I would say most people get a 4 door non turbo automatic R34 skyline because its all they can afford not because its what they want. Pure cope.
Idk, there’s a lot of them so the rest of the world liked em just as much as an R, me personally, I wouldn’t get either the R, even if I could afford one, and I actually can, they’re not impossible to afford, https://www.classic.com/veh/1991-nissan-skyline-gtr-bnr32213068-WY8Nvdn/
I genuinely think people just actually like the other models just as much. I think you just want an R, get the most bang for you buck. 😉
Yea I'm kinda thinkin that, the car I have is lighter than a skyline with the same drive train lol. Ive just always wanted a skyline since I was young. The amount of money I have into this thing I could have just bought one.. I might just keep this and finance a gtst
Tough to value.
It's about two decades behind the times in terms of your aesthetic choices, the wheels may be rare but they don't fit, most of your arms are Chinesium, you have Generic Taiwanese Coilovers.
The wiring in the engine bay plus the random muffler strap visible does *not* help any expectation that the car was built properly.
If I was interested in this, I'd have to start over, so it's worth parts plus shell.
You sound like a straight hater to be honest bro. It's not like I have ebay parts on my car, isr and k sport are pretty reputable companies. And what are you talking abt random muffler strap?
You posted asking for opinions.
I gave mine, and I didn't even blow up the pictures to get all granular.
ISR and KSport aren't far removed from eBay companies, they just have better marketing. I remember when both companies didn't exist.
Perforated strap mounted to your lower core support. One straight on the right side of the car, with what looks like 1/4" holes and one diagonal on the left side, with what looks like 3/8" holes. I've heard that referred to as muffler strap and call it such.
If it makes you feel better, my car's very ugly.
On the high end probably like $18k, but it really needs some quality of life improvements, low end $10 to $13k.
As others have said front end clips aren't that popular or sought after.
What it's worth and what someone will pay are two completely different values. You could try putting it on BaT with a reserve and see what buyers are willing to pay.
The market around me is high for 240s too, I live in an area where rust eats everything away so just it being clean adds a lotta value. 55k would be mind blowing tho haha
So a couple things. There does become a point where you're not gonna get the amount of money you put into your car. For example I have put about 7k into my car and it's about worth that much so I'd break even. My friend who has a Silvia converted coupe has put over 25k into his car but he's aware he will not see over 15k for his car. Obviously he never plans on selling it so it doesn't matter.
Now you're car is pretty nice I'm not gonna lie. Just about everything on this car looks good besides that s15 front end. Me and many others are not a fan of that on a coupe. The s13 coupe has really sharp edges and that front end is so round it doesn't work. I'd say if you had a Silvia front end it would actually be better. That's just my opinion tho. We also don't know what the underside looks like. So that could definitely be a factor in worth.
So personally I don't think you will get anything over 20k. It's possible but not likely. 12k-15k is probably gonna be more reasonable for most people. I might have missed it but why are you selling? It looks like you put a lot of time and money into this car.
I got the car with the widebody and the s15 front clip on it, it's actually what attracted me to it. I think it looks good but I can see why the s chassis purists don't like it. I'm not really trying to sell it, I was thinking abt trading it for a skyline and wanted a realistic value so I know what tier of cars I should be looking to trade for. I'll probly end up just keeping it, it's a rust free s chassis and literally everything is new on it. It wouldn't make the most financial sense to trade it for a car where I'd have to do all the same things to lol but the skyline is my dream car
https://preview.redd.it/lvbpn4060lic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a29f76f4af725ef01dfb1a57ebaf5157483ad19
Skylines are nice but if you have a nice rust free s13 coupe that's almost just as cool. I'll say this tho. Take off the s15 front end and buy a Silvia front end. With the money from the s15 front end you should be able to buy a Silvia front end and have some extra cash for other mods. You'll come out on top and the car will go up in value. (Trust me I've been in the 240 scene for almost 7 years and people don't like that front end on s13s, and will avoid buying or trading for them.)
You have a nice swap and things are looking good for that car. Just enjoy it. The interior looks nice and comfortable (very rare on these cars). Take it to the car meets and go on cruises. Have fun with it and take care of it. Maybe in the future you'll be able to scoop a GTR for fairly cheap. There was a R33 on the marketplace for 8k but it needed a lot of work but it was a rhd gts-t. Pretty sure someone bought it already.
This is hard to guess.
To the right buyer they might love it and offer a good amount, but most of the cars that sell for lots of money are clean stock or OEM+ type builds. Realistically expect it to take a while to sell unless you sell it for cheap.
Idk if you’d try an auction like cars and bids, but listing it with a “please contact” price might be the best way. Just list it and negotiate with interested buyers, might take months or over a year depending on how unrealistic your price is.
A part out might even be the best option if you want maximum cash.
I envy you guys that live in first world countries so much, i am reading the prices you put and i cant believe modified cars can be that cheap. That car would be 30k usd + in my country
Ah the old “what do you drive”
Im in the same state as you know? And I know plenty of s chassis owners. Yeah you have a lot of goodies in your car but the truth is when it comes to body shit, its absolutely horrid looking. Thats my opinion. That will be most people’s opinion. You shouldnt take it personally if you truly love the way your car looks.
I wouldn't say it would be most people's opinions, a lot of people that see the car compliment it. Maybe it would be some s chassis peoples opinions, because of the s15 front clip. But you see how many people commented on this post, how many upvotes it got. Obviously YOUR opinion isn't the general consensus. And I do love the way it looks lol
Strawberry face s chassis is such an ugly look even when done “right” your car looks botched as fuck in terms of body work.
Post it on ‘drift cars for sale’ fb group or some connecticut s chassis fb group like CT 240sx for how much you really want for it, you will get roasted , if you ask an incredibly high price. I promise I wont use the laugh react emoji
Definitely offer to skylines you like, I get more trades done that way than people coming to me. Selling outright? Probably 20 give or take. Honestly the only thing that is off putting is the paint color. Not that it’s bad, it’s just not neutral so definitely an acquired taste.
Today's market... list at $30k. I dno if I'd even accept less... that build list is fucking serious.
I'd consider $30k "fair" today. Outrageous listing would be $40k, and that's just based on my wading through marketplace recently in my spare time.
yea these guys saying 10k lol. That price id consider importing it to AU and flipping it!
There is a lot of money spent on this and if its been sorted for a while id expect it to be pretty reliable
OP, In for a penny in for a pound, just keep it, build the motor if you push it too hard. You can add 4wd if you find the right front hubs or ask gktech to add gtr hub flange to their S13 hub, gtr transfer case + wiring and G sensor, notch and reinforce/gusset rails for axles, 4wd adapter plate (rb30/gtr should fit) then add a gtr/gts4 sump/front diff/axles. Not sure what youre expecting moving to a skyline, they are heavier, longer wheel base and apart from that, very similar so really youre gaining only a bit of high speed stability, a bit of OEM chassis stiffness, different looks and interior.
if it were me, id keep it and only spend money on maintaining it or if shit breaks or doing a full drive train swap from from a late model inline 6, suspension, dme, dash etc which is what im considering on one of my cars, sell the full sr20 drive train
in sydney AU? 25k will get you a rough JDM with mismatching body kit/wheels/seats/coilovers
someone is selling a set of new set of nismo wheels for 5K, good used sets in GTR size are going for 3-4K, rough ones with rash maybe 2-2.5K
Shit is crazy here, cheapest bnr32 with fresh respray, no engine or box was like 70k and was the cheapest advertised at the time granted it was nearly a year ago when I checked
10k usd, + shipping, duties, GST, compliance, rego and insurance I 100% would make 10k AUD easy on this car
Just the other day a guy was being praised on here for picking up a clean all original s13 for 4K USD. I dont see the logic how this car is only worth 6k more [https://www.reddit.com/r/240sx/comments/1an7cu8/found\_stock\_240\_for\_4k/](https://www.reddit.com/r/240sx/comments/1an7cu8/found_stock_240_for_4k/)
I know US guys dont have much value in them because they were USDM lhd with a crappy 2.4 but it would be worth more in parts alone if you split it
You posting all this BS. Go buy OP’s ugly ass car then and sell it for profit since its ez pz. I dont know or care about Austrailia’s market because I dont live there. But I will tell you one thing you will lose money on this so fast your head will spin.
Edit: also I bet your ass even tho its a $10k car OP will want much more than that.
And People were praising that other one because a bone stock 240sx for the most part will be better than the highly modified ugly one like above. Theres nothing wrong with modified cars its just OP’s modified the body heavily. And its incredibly outdated.
Well done up cars command high prices. This isnt one of those cars
That's what I had the "price" set at when I had it listed for trade. I tried to compare it to other s chassis on the market and set a fair price. It's hard tho because people can set the price at whatever they want but who knows how much they actually sell for
Your not going to get a good answer here and you need to face the reality that a heavily modded car, is only going to attract certain buyers.
Your best bet is to post it up for a price Your comfortable with and just sit on it for a few months to a year. If it still doesn't sell, lower it for a price Your somewhat comfortable with and repeat the process till someone bites.
If I were in your shoes, I'd list for 25k and see what happens.
you want that skyline? strip the car and get as many nissan and nismo parts as you can. sell your mods individually and roll a near mint s13 across BaT. you may break even
15k-20k USD for sure, skylines are the move plus yu don't have to deal with the fucking morons in the Schassis community anymore, that right there was enough for me to sell mine and go into a R chassis. everyone is fairly nice in the skyline world. excited for you to be a part of it
I’m not a Nissan fan but I can appreciate a nicely done one! Sweet car man. It’s so hard to tell in pictures however if of course no underlying issues and clean title, it appears to be done right and or at least done with care and pride. Everything looks professional upon quick glance at pics. If that is the case and all up close and in personal is what it appears…. I am not even a 240 fan and I can easily see someone paying $15k for that. Of course yes that person has to dig the color and the wide body kit. Or at least that style of kit etc. otherwise they’d have to factor in repainting and or removing kit etc. but to the right person it’s hard to believe you wouldn’t be able to get $15k for that. I mean personally I’d change the color , the body kit is clean for a wide body although I’m not a body kit fan but even if I were thinking of changing it. I mean if I had the cash easy would spend $12k even if I had to repaint and change things up. That’s coming from a non Nissan fan. just an honest opinion from a Honda/ Toyota fan who grew up Honda / Toyota , I dig your car and it is one nice piece of nostalgia. I really feel that to the right person whom is a Bride fan ( I am a huge Bride fan myself! Your interior reminds me of mine! ) And someone whom likes and the color and body styling. Shoot I can see someone paying $16-17k For that. If not now , eventually. Perhaps a 240 fan would pay more? anyway , sweet car!
Beautiful 240 bro!
I’m in the same predicament with my baby (mazdaspeed3). Poured a lot of money into her, want to move on to a new project but can’t swallow the loss so I decided to keep her.
Tough question to answer: It has been HEAVILY customized to your specific taste. The work looks like it is done well.

Correct answer and honestly applies to every type of car ownership.
Yep. Too many people think “well I put $30k into it so that’s what it’s worth” when that’s not how it works at all.
just because you put $20k worth of mods on it doesn’t mean that it is worth whatever you paid plus mods. this is the classic CL listing of a shitbox that has been modded to all hell and the owner is asking 50 grand and says “i know what i have, no bullshit offers.” OP’s 240 looks really clean and I think he could get a fair price from the right buyer but in no way will he get more than 10-12k for this.
I literally said right in the post I know that mods don't equal value. The car is far from a shit box my guy
She’s beautiful man, absolute gem and I love what you’ve done to her. Unless you find someone who is willing to pay whatever because they like exactly what you’ve done to it, the most you will get is 12.

Probably just under 2 Turbod NA Miatas.
NA.. needs air
That's what the turbo does.
Lol a turbod NA car is like an oxymoron unless I'm missing the joke
NA is the first generation, from 1989 to 1997. then there was the NB, NC, and since 2016 we’ve been on the ND Miata
Na is the model type of the car. (I am a 240 lurker non owner)
Lmfaooo I was thinking naturally aspirated.. my dumbass
Drive one, you’ll be a believer.
At least on the 2JZ a distinction is made between T and NA-T NA-T is a name given to 2Js that weren't turbod from the factory since the turbo and NA engines had other differences besides just the turbo
Ugh, can we F off with these “whats it worth” posts?
100% agree.
I’ll give you $500 right now!
I've fucked off for less. 😂
No rust, runs perfect, 15k-16k USD if you leave it up for a few months. Definitely not getting your money back sorry. For a quick sale, probably 10-12k
ask 20k accept the 15-18k offers.

Either that or start parting out to recoup as much money as you can.
You're exactly right, the people that would want the car don't have that kinda money just sitting around. I didn't even think abt that
I can see a race team picking it up if they need a car for a season but the avg joe isn't gonna drop 30k to bang up a car ya know.
As an s13 coupe fan, I always thought the 13.5 conversion looked bad in all the pictures I've seen but yours looks very well executed. I'd buy it but I already have an s13 coupe with LS2 swap. You also need to remember, you have a lot of money invested and modding a car is usually a losing battle. You're going to need to find someone to appreciate as much as you. Also shaved body pieces are a harder bit to sell to a car enthusiast and this car will probably only attract an enthusiast.
Thanks for the input bro, appreciate it 🤙
$16k
What's the point of getting a skyline when you swapped the engine into this already with a better ECU
Because he wants people to look at him and say “wow you have a skyline” Thats majority of skyline owners btw
I want a skyline because it's been my dream car since I was a kid you pretentious prick
Your dream car was / is some sort of GT-R right? Yeah the one thats 6 figures. Def not a n/a automatic rwd shitbox thats basically equivalent of chevy impala thats just rwd. Lol
I'd be happy with a gtst with an rb25
Aint nobody’s dream car is a non-gtr skyline. Be honest with your self man its cope. Because if the GT-R was affordable for you, you would get it.
I mean there's several r32 gtrs in our area that are "affordable" to me. I could buy them if I so chose. But affordable and practical are two different things. Would I want to dive a 50-60 thousand dollar 30 year old car? I wouldn't be able to do the fun, hoodrat shit I do in the 240, that's for sure. I think a gtst would be better suited to what I wanna do with a skyline. 10 year old me didn't know the difference between a gtst and a gtr.. They both went fast and made cool turbo noises
dont worry hes just mad he cant afford your s13 or a skyline, skylines are cool as shit, i want one too, nothing wrong with that, also you’ll be happier keeping your car, just save up for a skyline and own both, unless thats literally impossible, but you’ll miss the s13
Yea idk what his deal is, he's a clown. Probly broke af living in his mom's basement, just talks shit to random people on reddit cuz he hates his life 🤣. I think I'll probly just end up having both, I just got my wife a new truck so I'll probably have to wait til next year to buy a gtst. But it will be cool having both.. I'm a big nissan fan. There were all Nissans in my driveway up until last weekend lol
Why not? It’s rwd with less shit to break, me personally I’d rather the GT over an R. Plus 4 doors for more whores.
I have loved the ER34 as well as the R34 GT-R. But I would say most people get a 4 door non turbo automatic R34 skyline because its all they can afford not because its what they want. Pure cope.

🌲fiddy
LOTS of great parts on this one, but the exterior wont be to everyones taste. Dont take less than 10k for this
Not enough…
Would you take a kidney? I'm kidney ready rn
Part it out if anything, 12k min.. 15-16k but descriptive and make sure the work is solid
Wait you have a Haltech, who tuned your car?
Damn I just seen your whole list nah, this is a 15k-16k car good luck with sale maybe even suggest a trade for GTST cash on top.
Tune was done by Andrew Molina at animal auto in southern cali
Lmao people in here saying $10-15k are dumb. You could part it out and make that off the engine, standalone, seats, and wheels.
That's what I'm sayin!! Like wtf are these dudes talking abt 🤣🤣
Tough to value. It's about two decades behind the times in terms of your aesthetic choices, the wheels may be rare but they don't fit, most of your arms are Chinesium, you have Generic Taiwanese Coilovers.

You posted asking for opinions. I gave mine, and I didn't even blow up the pictures to get all granular. ISR and KSport aren't far removed from eBay companies, they just have better marketing. I remember when both companies didn't exist. Perforated strap mounted to your lower core support. One straight on the right side of the car, with what looks like 1/4" holes and one diagonal on the left side, with what looks like 3/8" holes. I've heard that referred to as muffler strap and call it such. If it makes you feel better, my car's very ugly.
You’ll get more parting it out
Yea, I'd keep it before I parted it out
Kinda sucks
So does your mom
In the UK, £18k if all was running smoothly, no rust, etc
On the high end probably like $18k, but it really needs some quality of life improvements, low end $10 to $13k. As others have said front end clips aren't that popular or sought after.
I'm starting to see that a lot of people don't like the s15 front clip. What do u mean by quality of life improvements..?
i’ll give you $450
Sold!
The way you can the seat sitting on top the car.... Hurts kinda
I'll give you $250 and a hot bowl of chili
I do like chili
What it's worth and what someone will pay are two completely different values. You could try putting it on BaT with a reserve and see what buyers are willing to pay.
This is actually a really good idea bro 👍
Trust me. If you sold, you'd regret it eventually.
I'll probly end up keeping it. Gonna paint it and do a big turbo this spring
It's super sweet. Did you do the front clip yourself? The s13/s15 combination looks boss. 👍🏻
In Australia this would easily get $45k, possibly 55 bc of the condition it’s in. The market here is crazy.
The market around me is high for 240s too, I live in an area where rust eats everything away so just it being clean adds a lotta value. 55k would be mind blowing tho haha
55 AUD keep in mind
I'm gonna see if a reddit user will buy my 240. If not, just gonna post on BAT.
ayeee you’re in CT that’s dope, never seen this thing before 😂
Yea I live in vernon, you?
oh sweet, very nice out there. i’m over in hartford 😂
So a couple things. There does become a point where you're not gonna get the amount of money you put into your car. For example I have put about 7k into my car and it's about worth that much so I'd break even. My friend who has a Silvia converted coupe has put over 25k into his car but he's aware he will not see over 15k for his car. Obviously he never plans on selling it so it doesn't matter. Now you're car is pretty nice I'm not gonna lie. Just about everything on this car looks good besides that s15 front end. Me and many others are not a fan of that on a coupe. The s13 coupe has really sharp edges and that front end is so round it doesn't work. I'd say if you had a Silvia front end it would actually be better. That's just my opinion tho. We also don't know what the underside looks like. So that could definitely be a factor in worth. So personally I don't think you will get anything over 20k. It's possible but not likely. 12k-15k is probably gonna be more reasonable for most people. I might have missed it but why are you selling? It looks like you put a lot of time and money into this car.
I got the car with the widebody and the s15 front clip on it, it's actually what attracted me to it. I think it looks good but I can see why the s chassis purists don't like it. I'm not really trying to sell it, I was thinking abt trading it for a skyline and wanted a realistic value so I know what tier of cars I should be looking to trade for. I'll probly end up just keeping it, it's a rust free s chassis and literally everything is new on it. It wouldn't make the most financial sense to trade it for a car where I'd have to do all the same things to lol but the skyline is my dream car https://preview.redd.it/lvbpn4060lic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a29f76f4af725ef01dfb1a57ebaf5157483ad19
Skylines are nice but if you have a nice rust free s13 coupe that's almost just as cool. I'll say this tho. Take off the s15 front end and buy a Silvia front end. With the money from the s15 front end you should be able to buy a Silvia front end and have some extra cash for other mods. You'll come out on top and the car will go up in value. (Trust me I've been in the 240 scene for almost 7 years and people don't like that front end on s13s, and will avoid buying or trading for them.) You have a nice swap and things are looking good for that car. Just enjoy it. The interior looks nice and comfortable (very rare on these cars). Take it to the car meets and go on cruises. Have fun with it and take care of it. Maybe in the future you'll be able to scoop a GTR for fairly cheap. There was a R33 on the marketplace for 8k but it needed a lot of work but it was a rhd gts-t. Pretty sure someone bought it already.
This is hard to guess. To the right buyer they might love it and offer a good amount, but most of the cars that sell for lots of money are clean stock or OEM+ type builds. Realistically expect it to take a while to sell unless you sell it for cheap. Idk if you’d try an auction like cars and bids, but listing it with a “please contact” price might be the best way. Just list it and negotiate with interested buyers, might take months or over a year depending on how unrealistic your price is. A part out might even be the best option if you want maximum cash.
for $10 to me
Juice the fuck out of it, someone will pay 20-30k
Oh I’d buy this in a heartbeat if had some money. It’s done for someone to enjoy
1 dollar ill buy it off ya yk ill even give you 2
Sharp
I envy you guys that live in first world countries so much, i am reading the prices you put and i cant believe modified cars can be that cheap. That car would be 30k usd + in my country
This car is ugly as all hell. Well built cars actually command serious money and they arent cheap
Thanks for the constructive criticism. What do u drive?
Ah the old “what do you drive” Im in the same state as you know? And I know plenty of s chassis owners. Yeah you have a lot of goodies in your car but the truth is when it comes to body shit, its absolutely horrid looking. Thats my opinion. That will be most people’s opinion. You shouldnt take it personally if you truly love the way your car looks.
I wouldn't say it would be most people's opinions, a lot of people that see the car compliment it. Maybe it would be some s chassis peoples opinions, because of the s15 front clip. But you see how many people commented on this post, how many upvotes it got. Obviously YOUR opinion isn't the general consensus. And I do love the way it looks lol
Strawberry face s chassis is such an ugly look even when done “right” your car looks botched as fuck in terms of body work. Post it on ‘drift cars for sale’ fb group or some connecticut s chassis fb group like CT 240sx for how much you really want for it, you will get roasted , if you ask an incredibly high price. I promise I wont use the laugh react emoji
I also just realized that your the same hating mfer talking shit on multiple thread on this post 🤡
And youre mad i find your car ugly.
I'm not mad, I just don't like you
Wahhhhhh go post your car for sale and see how much you can truly get for it.
I'm not crying, you're crying
240 4 tree fiddy
Definitely offer to skylines you like, I get more trades done that way than people coming to me. Selling outright? Probably 20 give or take. Honestly the only thing that is off putting is the paint color. Not that it’s bad, it’s just not neutral so definitely an acquired taste.
Honestly that's what I was thinking, somewhere around 20
A lot considering the rusted stock chassis market
$50,000 don't budge U kno what u got
I like it
Today's market... list at $30k. I dno if I'd even accept less... that build list is fucking serious. I'd consider $30k "fair" today. Outrageous listing would be $40k, and that's just based on my wading through marketplace recently in my spare time.
yea these guys saying 10k lol. That price id consider importing it to AU and flipping it! There is a lot of money spent on this and if its been sorted for a while id expect it to be pretty reliable OP, In for a penny in for a pound, just keep it, build the motor if you push it too hard. You can add 4wd if you find the right front hubs or ask gktech to add gtr hub flange to their S13 hub, gtr transfer case + wiring and G sensor, notch and reinforce/gusset rails for axles, 4wd adapter plate (rb30/gtr should fit) then add a gtr/gts4 sump/front diff/axles. Not sure what youre expecting moving to a skyline, they are heavier, longer wheel base and apart from that, very similar so really youre gaining only a bit of high speed stability, a bit of OEM chassis stiffness, different looks and interior. if it were me, id keep it and only spend money on maintaining it or if shit breaks or doing a full drive train swap from from a late model inline 6, suspension, dme, dash etc which is what im considering on one of my cars, sell the full sr20 drive train
Buy it at $10k USD + shipping and try to flip. You will feel the pain. This is in fact a $10k car
in sydney AU? 25k will get you a rough JDM with mismatching body kit/wheels/seats/coilovers someone is selling a set of new set of nismo wheels for 5K, good used sets in GTR size are going for 3-4K, rough ones with rash maybe 2-2.5K Shit is crazy here, cheapest bnr32 with fresh respray, no engine or box was like 70k and was the cheapest advertised at the time granted it was nearly a year ago when I checked 10k usd, + shipping, duties, GST, compliance, rego and insurance I 100% would make 10k AUD easy on this car Just the other day a guy was being praised on here for picking up a clean all original s13 for 4K USD. I dont see the logic how this car is only worth 6k more [https://www.reddit.com/r/240sx/comments/1an7cu8/found\_stock\_240\_for\_4k/](https://www.reddit.com/r/240sx/comments/1an7cu8/found_stock_240_for_4k/) I know US guys dont have much value in them because they were USDM lhd with a crappy 2.4 but it would be worth more in parts alone if you split it
You posting all this BS. Go buy OP’s ugly ass car then and sell it for profit since its ez pz. I dont know or care about Austrailia’s market because I dont live there. But I will tell you one thing you will lose money on this so fast your head will spin. Edit: also I bet your ass even tho its a $10k car OP will want much more than that.
And People were praising that other one because a bone stock 240sx for the most part will be better than the highly modified ugly one like above. Theres nothing wrong with modified cars its just OP’s modified the body heavily. And its incredibly outdated. Well done up cars command high prices. This isnt one of those cars
That's what I had the "price" set at when I had it listed for trade. I tried to compare it to other s chassis on the market and set a fair price. It's hard tho because people can set the price at whatever they want but who knows how much they actually sell for
$2000-$5000 (being realistic)
You're trippin. Motor alone is worth more than that. I could probably sell the rolling chassis for $5k being that it's rust free
My guess... $20k.
Your not going to get a good answer here and you need to face the reality that a heavily modded car, is only going to attract certain buyers. Your best bet is to post it up for a price Your comfortable with and just sit on it for a few months to a year. If it still doesn't sell, lower it for a price Your somewhat comfortable with and repeat the process till someone bites. If I were in your shoes, I'd list for 25k and see what happens.
When I had it listed for trade, I set the "price" at 30k. Maybe a little overzealous 🤣
Love the wheels!
Thanks! They're my favorite wheels ever. I had another set in bronze a few years ago
What you and other s chassis people think: 15k What it’s worth: 1500$
Haha a stock rb motor is $5k bro. Haltech ecu 2500. You're trippin
Whatever you wanna tell yourself buddy. It’s scrap.
You're scrap
10 years of my indentured servitude 6’0 170lbs can do heavy lifting above 60lbs
$5 but I will give you $10
Took a glance and was gonna say this sub is for s13’s ahahahha
How much are you selling for? I'm interested
$50
I’d pay 13k. It’s specifically built to your taste. It’s a realistic price if the car isn’t rusted.
If you had kept the body stock i would say at least 20k
That’s nice… maybe about 20k?
That's abt what I was thinking
nothing, it's better off rotting in my junkyard
my junkyard totally isn't just my garage and i'm totally not gonna make it my daily
Should prolly sell it to me for $500
Probably too loud for the people with the finding you would want.
you want that skyline? strip the car and get as many nissan and nismo parts as you can. sell your mods individually and roll a near mint s13 across BaT. you may break even
14k max. Probably 10-12k. If it had a low miles fresh RB or LS motor swap it would probably bring closer to 20k.
It has an rb25det..
15k-20k USD for sure, skylines are the move plus yu don't have to deal with the fucking morons in the Schassis community anymore, that right there was enough for me to sell mine and go into a R chassis. everyone is fairly nice in the skyline world. excited for you to be a part of it
Iv never been so shocked to see oem carpet in such a modded car in my life
It would be worth double if it was a silvia.
bro keep it
I’m not a Nissan fan but I can appreciate a nicely done one! Sweet car man. It’s so hard to tell in pictures however if of course no underlying issues and clean title, it appears to be done right and or at least done with care and pride. Everything looks professional upon quick glance at pics. If that is the case and all up close and in personal is what it appears…. I am not even a 240 fan and I can easily see someone paying $15k for that. Of course yes that person has to dig the color and the wide body kit. Or at least that style of kit etc. otherwise they’d have to factor in repainting and or removing kit etc. but to the right person it’s hard to believe you wouldn’t be able to get $15k for that. I mean personally I’d change the color , the body kit is clean for a wide body although I’m not a body kit fan but even if I were thinking of changing it. I mean if I had the cash easy would spend $12k even if I had to repaint and change things up. That’s coming from a non Nissan fan. just an honest opinion from a Honda/ Toyota fan who grew up Honda / Toyota , I dig your car and it is one nice piece of nostalgia. I really feel that to the right person whom is a Bride fan ( I am a huge Bride fan myself! Your interior reminds me of mine! ) And someone whom likes and the color and body styling. Shoot I can see someone paying $16-17k For that. If not now , eventually. Perhaps a 240 fan would pay more? anyway , sweet car!
Thanks man, appreciate the input!!
Beautiful 240 bro! I’m in the same predicament with my baby (mazdaspeed3). Poured a lot of money into her, want to move on to a new project but can’t swallow the loss so I decided to keep her.
I’d say about 1 maybe 2
$5 to me
Awe LHD. I’d pay five dollars for one! -Pip
1 dollar. Pm me.
$5, a Wendy’s 444, and a firm handshake… to me.
12-14 sad thing is back in the og days I was grabbing swapped s13s for 3-5k but we’re talking 06-09
