Wow! Thanks for the compliments on the old 240. I really did love the car.

To the poster who asked what happened. The oil pump wasn't delivering oil to the top of the motor and was running dry. Of course the oil level always checked out and the light didn't come on so I didn't know what was happening. I thought for sure that it would have sounded like a diesel running in that state, but it didn't. It just quit running. Pulled the pan on it and lo and behold, metal shavings in the oil. Main bearings shot. Could probably get it running on the cheap but I am ready to move on.

To the poster who asked if it is for sale. It will be very soon. Any idea of what I should ask for a car like this? Non-running. It is a '95 SE. 5-speed, sunroof. Cold A/C, etc... As you would imaging with ownership this long, I also have a TON of extras for the car.

Here are two more pictures. I will need to take more soon.

I swear to god, I wanna buy every guy a beer that goes from an S13 or 14 to a Z33 lol - I'm a member of the "240 to 350" club as well.

Kudos man, My S13 had well over 300k when I sold it and my S14 had over 200k.

my first car was an s13 with 300+k miles. second and current is an 07 grand touring.

your s14 was beautifully clean. you can easily get 2.5+k on it since it's not running. for that money, i'd rather keep it and rebuild or do a motor swap for fun.

welcome and congrats.

I hope your ready for one huge tab.

Nice Z!!! I sold my 98 240sx with 112k for my 07 Z. I loved that car and it ran awesome, you can get at least 2500 for a s14 as clean as yours. To bad its not a kouki, you could get even more.
