I had to assume the modified Asian squat for this pic. The intercooler is pretty stealthy. |
The car needs:
- The brake fluid flushed
- A new set of tires and an alignment. Currently the car has a set of BF Goodrich Geforce TA KD’s which are no longer made. I would suggest getting the stickiest DOT tire available. Size 205/40/17 (the Falken Azenis RT-615k comes to mind)
- The AC converted to R134 and a new AC line to the compressor and seals if this is important to the new owner
There's a fitting just before the turbine housing for an EGT gauge. I was never ballsy enough to run an EGT gauge in case the probe got hot enough to melt sending it through a $2,000 turbo. |
As with most project cars I don’t expect half of the money invested. Friends of mine bought and sold cars like this for $10,000-15,000 years ago but I've been told those days are long gone. The turbo kit with the transmission work was approximately $10K. There’s another $10K with all the other parts (wheels, suspension, brakes, etc) added to the car in addition to the value of the car itself. Kelly Blue Book lists the value at $2,000. I’ve looked around at other forums and seen other boosted SR20’s for $3,000-$6,000. This is not a used parts bin car and as such should be at the top of the market range. This car has always been well taken care of and I never went cheap when it came to parts for the car. This is evidenced by the two SE-R Convention trophies the car has won (which will go to the new owner) and that the car is still on the original modified transmission.
I’m fully disclosing the history of the car so there are no surprises. Both the front and rear drivers side fenders have been replaced. The rear driver-side fender was replaced after I was run off the road and hit a guardrail and the front was replaced when someone hit the car while parked in a parking lot. Both times the car was fixed to factory levels with OEM parts and the car has a clean title. I used to detail cars and was ready to sell the car after these incidents but the shop that did the work did such a good job I was happy with the car all over again. Both bumpers have been stripped and re-sprayed to get rid of rock chips. There are a hand full of minor door dings down the driver and passenger side. I tried to capture these dings in the images but they didn’t show up. I loosely use the word pristine when describing a Sentra but anyone who has seen this car in person will assure it's a prime example. The transmission also has a slight weep from where the case was re-welded for strength. The weep is so minor that I’ve NEVER had a drop of transmission fluid hit the garage floor. I'll be happy to cover every inch of the car with prospective buyers.
