Not exactly since then, since the start of the summer to be exact. He has had numerous buyers fall through, a few from EBay, and a few local. Car is in excelent shape, and IMO worth the money. If you want more details, the owner is my roomate, PM me and I will have him contact you.
I can get better pictures as well, since the ones on that site a terrible!

Best part is my roomate barely ever drives it as well, and when he does, it is not driven hard at all.

According to the past owner, a new mod for the car is to put in the Latest Altima pistons in it, and it changes the boost from 7psi to around 20psi. Not exactly sure of the details, but seems like a good mod for $1200.
Anyways, for more info, you can PM me, or call at (403) 381-1008 and ask for Andrew.:clap:

uh.... pistons don't change boost levels:dunno:

maybe he means they'll accept higher boost levels..

I don't see how N/A pistons are going to improve the 'boostability' of the car though... maybe forged low comps, etc.

$75,000?!?!

I got this as second hand info, i am not sure what else has to be done, but that is the gist of it. Apparently it is the newest mod for the K engines. I am sure it is something closer to " it can handle 20psi withn the new pistons" I will ask again to double check.

The car was appraised at $75,000 that is not what he is selling it for. ( I have seen the appraisal)

I believe the stereo was $10k for everything installed. Again though, if you want precise details, call!

was the engine blown and replaced? Or was it just rebuilt?
32 000km is that on the original engine?

Some dude wrote in a previous thread that this car ran 18 sec. I hardly believe that if the car is making 300hp

you can have sunroofs put in at not too much of a cost.

It did run a 18 second pass because the right before the previous owner sold the car the clutch had been slipping, but I would buy that car even with out sunroof, it makes the car a bit lighter also, what had happened is that the previous owner overboosted and one of the piston and ring set went on i believe the first cylinder. But after it was fixed I vouch for the second owner that it is a great car!

Hahahaha. Anyways, very nice car but like Redlyne_mr2 said for 27g's you could get a much nicer 240.

I would like to see that......
Generally 98's are around $20k+, but they are extremely hard to find, not to mention a 98 with 3X,000km. Especially one that hasnt been bagged (current owner is my roomate, and be barely ever drives the thing!)
The only thing that has room for improvement IMO, is adding racing seats, but thats it. Every part that has been put on the car has had a ton of thought and research put into it..
If you can find a nicer one for $27 do so, but best of luck, but don't expect to find one anytime soon.

I agree 100%, but you have to be able to appreciate the work involved.
It's asking alot for a 240sx, but the car has alot put into it.

I think I recall reading that there were only 60 or so 98's sold in Canada. Pretty rare if you ask me.

I know that there were 510 95's and 333 96's sold according to Nissan Canada's figures submitted to the Royal Bank's "Cars on CD '98"

I heard a kid talking about this car here in Regina. Claimed he put an offer in on it. I didn't believe that it actually existed and figured he was opening his yapper and trying to sound cool infront of me.

i dunno about u but i love to have the sunroof open even if its only a degree or 2 outside, just for the fresh air . Its not the same as having the window down and having the air blowing like crzy at u .

Primer_Drift
11-03-2003, 09:29 PM
Just stick your head out the window..
IMO sunroofs are just more trouble, added wieght, less body rigidity.. and one more thing to fall off/apart when u least expect it.

Either way, fi you are serious, you might want to hurry, as the other guythat was looking was getting back to Andrew on Wednesday after he talked to the bank.

I agree with the sunroof thing, once you have one, its tough not to. You kinda grow attached to it:thumbsup:

if you want fresh air, buy a convertible

Ya he ran 18.3 against my civic at race city last year lol. i still have the slip... but as shadowz said, it was due to the slipping clutch.
