i didn't trade for this. i sold my SC, got a good deal on this dude's unfinished project, and finished it...

you really think luck is the reason i got the car running?

I'm with Cleanshots. Sell the body, because i KNOW there are a ton of people looking for clean coupe shells, i know of at least 3 buddies of mine in my city wanting a coupe shell. Then, buy a clean but non running SC, and throw that RB in there.

On a side note, i want that engine. Hehe.

ok pieisgude, buy the engine

personally, i'd rather just put a 1jz in, as it's a bolt-in affair.
1jz not nearly as badass, but still good

Idk how many miles are on the body of it or on the engine and trans. So it is a big gamble if I got that car. My car is good running up to date on maintenance the would cost a pretty penny to get it done (idk how handy you are) either way it would save u time wasting ur weekends working on the car when u want to drive it

You want an sc and I'm willing to take the car off ur hands. My car is well maintained with an origin roof spoiler and wise lip. Sometimes a stock car is better off then s modified one

i dont think up-do-date maintenace on an SC costs anywhere near the amount it takes to swap a skyline engine/powertrain into a different car...

Dealership quality maintenance yes, joes garage no. Do you have paperwork for the drivetrain to show it has whatever miles it has on it? Is the shell a low miles mint shell or a rust bucket that someone slapped a motor in and sold cheap to get out of it. I'm not trying to insult u or ur intelligence either just asking/stating

nova,
people don't just slap an rb26 engine and rb25 drivetrain into any old rust bucket shell just so they can sell it...

i have a receipt from jdm engine depot for the engine (it's used, from japan, and no i don't have the exact mileage) i have compression numbers, leakdown numbers, carfax to show the mileage and registration history, and the shell has less rust on it than your lexus.

anything else?

ThAts an awesome nissan. I personally traded my old sc for my current TTZ and never looked back. I agree its a little rough as a dd. That's why i have my ml350 as dd.

I traded my very clean extremely low mileage S13 coupe for my first SC400 and never looked back. Even if I got an offer to trade it with an S14 kouki with an RB26 in it I would still decline. lol
