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

am not good with wiring so haven’t messed with it. ·

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.

Meet the Nissan GT-R test driver responsible for 'Ring tuning
Wed, 07 May 2014Ever wonder what it's like to be a manufacturer's development driver at the Nürburgring? We imagine it's pretty cool. After all, you get to spend your days zooming about the greatest racetrack on the planet in a vehicle that is usually months or more away from consumers. For Hiroyoshi Kato, whose actual title is Technical Meister, life is even better than your typical development driver, because he spends his days wringing out the Nissan GT-R Nismo around the Green Hell.
Kato-san has a long history with both Nissan and the Ring. He had a major hand in the development of the R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GT-Rs, having first come to the Ring nearly three decades ago.
His experience with the Nismo, though, is different than the other vehicles he's contributed to. As he explains it, there are real racers on hand to test the car on the track, like Formula One reserve driver Sébastien Buemi. Instead, Kato focuses on the track-to-road balance. Still, he has some truly interesting insights on the car and the track, including his surprise at turning a sub-eight-minute lap in his first outing. That, along with a few other things (one of which is an R34 being hustled about), make this a must-watch video from Nissan.
Nissan's Ghosn highest paid exec in Japan again, at $10M per year
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is on track to be the highest-paid executive in Japan for the fourth time in five years. Ghosn's salary and bonuses last year rang the register to the tune of $9.8 million (995 million yen), and when stock dividends are added to the equation, the exec's total pay crested a billion yen. That represents a 0.7-percent increase over his pay from the previous year. Ghosn earned an additional $3.1 million as CEO of Renault.
According to Bloomberg, Ghosn's compensation was announced at a shareholder's meeting in Japan, prompting an explanation from the CEO. "I understand the sensitivity of the issue," Ghosn said. "Being in Japan should not be a handicap to attract talent. We need the best minds, we need the best talents."
Few would argue with that assessment, we'd guess, but it doesn't answer the question of whether Ghosn is the most talented CEO in Japan. Akio Toyoda, head of Toyota in Japan, earned 230 yen (though, as a large shareholder in Toyota, Toyoda's dividend payments bring him closer to Ghosn) in compensation while steering his automaker to a profit that was five times higher than Nissan's. Honda President Takanobu Ito was paid the comparatively small sum of 150 million yen last year.
Nissan bringing GT-R LM Nismo to Le Mans in 2015 [w/videos]
Fri, 23 May 2014The Nissan Zeod RC hybrid racecar is certainly cool with its pointy looks, we're excited to see it run, but it isn't built to win races so much as push boundaries. But we might not have too to wait long for one of the Japanese brand's vehicles to claim an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well. The company is announcing the GT-R LM Nismo racecar with a two-car, full factory effort in the top LMP1 class of the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans.
Details about the new racer are almost nonexistent at the moment. The only glimpses that we have are its silhouette under a sheet (above) and the briefest peek at its quad circular taillights in one of the teaser videos. However, the team is making some big promises about the car. "We want to win in a very different way to that of our rivals. We won't be turning up in a vehicle, which is a basically another hybrid that looks like another Porsche, Audi or Toyota - they all look the same to me," said Nissan's Chief Planning Officer and Executive Vice President Andy Palmer in the official announcement. Mechanically, Nissan is revealing even less about the GT-R LM Nismo for now. We are just going to have to wait and find out.
The brand will be aiming for a win in the 24-hour race, but it won't come easy. Nissan will absolutely face stiff competition from the combined forces of Audi, Porsche and Toyota in the top LMP1 class. Scroll down to watch two teaser videos for the newest member of the GT-R family and read the full announcement.
