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
performance and tuning ·

JDM speedo cluster with led (everything but the
speed meter works, just installed an s14 sensor and just have to hook it up) I
am not good with wiring so haven’t messed with it. ·
JDM shift boot panel, I also have JDM cup holder
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's current Rogue renamed Rogue Select, will live alongside next gen
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Despite the fact that an all-new generation of its Rogue crossover goes on sale in November, Nissan will continue to sell the current model alongside its replacement. The existing C-platform-based Rogue, which will be renamed Rogue Select, will start at less than $20,000 when it goes on sale in January 2014. At present, a base 2013 Rogue S prices out slightly higher, from $20,310, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the 2014 Rogue Select come to market with more standard equipment and simplified trim options. It will continue to be built in Kyushu, Japan.
According to Nissan, the unusual move is "to satisfy demand for the popular compact sports utility vehicle, currently second-highest seller in Nissan's lineup, as well as provide customers an additional choice in the segment." It's hard to hard to argue with the numbers: Nissan cites 2012 calendar-year sales of 142,349 Rogue units in the US, with 2013 sales increasing 16 percent through August despite the vehicle's age.
The strategy may also give Nissan the chance to ask for more money for the second-generation model (which is based on a new Common Module Family platform shared with partner Renault) while keeping it clear of residual-value-damaging fleet sales. The new Rogue looks to be both larger and more luxurious, with an available third-row seat, and it should be more economical to produce, as it will be built in Nissan's Smyrna, TN plant.
Teen attempts car jump, hits windshield and lands on his feet
Tue, 11 Jun 2013I've been compelled to do many things in or around a car, but jumping over one has never quite made the cut. That may be because I have all of the vertical lift of a manatee, but I digress. One enterprising young soul recently looked at a friend's Nissan Sentra and thought, "You know, I can totally leap right over that roof line."
By using what can only be described as Herculean feats of persuasion, he talked one young female friend into driving said Nissan straight for him at around 40 miles per hour while another stood by to film the lunacy. The plan went swimmingly right up until our would be compact-vaulter caught his foot on the hood and bounced into the windshield. Whoops.
But the story doesn't end with a trip to the emergency room. Our hero spun mid-air and actually managed to get his feet under him before coming back to Earth. Impressive. You can watch the hilarity for yourself below, but please, don't even think about trying this yourself.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
