1985 Nissan Silvia (S12) 200SX SOHC KA swap, Turbo body, 5-speed
* Name: Pierce Ford
* Location: I live in Chesterfield, the car is currently in Manakin (Goochland)
* Means of Contact: PM me here, or call me 804 two one eight 5117. I don't answer numbers I don't know so leave me a message.
* Description: This has been my longest lasting, incredibly aggravating project car for about 2 years now. Spent some more time on it this weekend, finally got it to run, and all it does is burn oil. As in straight flowing out of the exhaust. It won't idle either, it revs right up to the fuel cut and bounces around up there forever (probably has something to do with the shitty intake system I had to fabricate from Home Depot). I'm done trying to work on this thing, it was supposed to be easy and fun, but all it's been is a headache. I'll confess, I don't know anything about Nissan's, and I guess this was the wrong car to try to learn on.
The SOHC KA24E is from a 1989 240SX and it has about 190K miles on it. The body is a 1985 200SX Turbo and God only knows how many miles it has on it. I bought it with a broken odometer that read 215,xxx but then I daily-ed it for a long time. More details on the body can be read here: (my previous FS thread) https://www.vadriven.com/forums/showthread.php?t=337470
I don't really know what else to say about it right now, everything is currently stock, except the BS intake system I fabbed up today. And the hockey pucks for engine mounts. It runs, but like I said before, very poorly. It can be driven onto your trailer, but don't expect to drive away in it.
* Price: $1000 OBO, also accepting trades. Nothing specific really, whatever is interesting.
