yes but there’s still someone dumber than you that will eventually take it off your hands. owning anything popular isn’t always bad, there’s always demand. he fucked up and wasted 7gs, some idiot will take it off his hands for more remember they are harder to find as time goes on
Jesus christ bro relax u dork. you act like hes going after the guy and tryin to expose em or some shit, the previous owner is even helping him out fix it up. PIPE IT
So sorry to hear. In 2022 I bought S13 with SR20DET "freshly rebuilt". It gave out on me 5 days into owning this... It blew head gasket and I was just remarking it after getting it washed... Long story short, I had to rebuild it on my own :/
Any unopened SR20, there is a safe bet it’ll need to be rebuilt. If it is “rebuilt” chances are it’s rebuilt wrong. They are good engines, it just requires knowledge and competence. Pay attention to the old heads and research every single aspect and make sure you cross reference your findings. It is not easy or cheap to maintain or build these engines.
You seem cool bro, dont mind the rude comments lol. Atleast you have a spare nissan to pick off of now 👍 just gotta accommodate for the space it takes 💀
Scam or not that's just how it goes now a days. Even in Japan they are starting to increase prices for many of their cars. My Sr hasn't started yet still diagnosing the issue but its been two years now and am thinking about selling it but if i do i probably won't find another one.
My old R32 Skyline had a similar issue, started dying and wouldn’t hold idle then eventually it wouldn’t start, I swapped the car for a Evo 7 and the new owner sold the car and my brother found the new owner and found that the car had no compression
When you see *one* S13 that is clean it is astonishing I remember way back never hearing never seeing of these my ol high school goons showed up with a S13 n gave me some rides it was bodykitted out flashy red but fucking wimpomatic slushbox n I was drooling @ it. I wish I woulda done my teens+twenties better that phase way gone n I got *the* Super a year ago
the sr and the coils and angle are worth a bit but its a 240 witch is already a really bad junkey nissan all it has of value is the suspension and some interior bits and you payed almost 7 grand for it and the motor is kinda done but even what you where already getting was a scam 6.7 grand when you could get a decent used 350z for the same price and just turn off traction stability and if you need abs etc advice from me for the future if you want some from me only get a 240 if it has no body damage dosent have a shity welded diff bc lsd is way better and is not melested but is still drift ready and under 5 grand witch is rare but some come by some times in my opinoin you should have waited instead of rushing to buy something all because its a 240 doesn't mean its the only car for drifting you could have gotten a 350 for not much more that is not some ass 90s car that you can just find at a junk yard eazily
At the time I had an option of buying a Z actually. But I fell back into wanting a coolish drift car, 350z are great seat time cars and the responsible option. But 240s have always been my passion
@@Povertycab same but if i where to get a drift car irl i would rather have one thats prepped every time i want to use it and im not going to spend the same amount of money for something from years and years ago thats going to break down on me just because i like the look more
Before I hear what the problem actually was I'm saying needs a valve job or fried rings. Check if you have oil pressure, if not rings. If so burnt valves. I'd be a cheap bastard, pull the head and lap the valves and cross fingers that's all it was.
Oof valve float. $180 from Crower for a full set isn't too bad long as everything else is good, might as well re-ring it while ya have it out and then you can find all the shot bearings.
you bought a swapped s13 in 2023 for 7k. tf you think was gonna happen. you bought someones headache. all these new car guys trying to do youtube seem to have no concept of why people build stuff and not buy stuff already screwed with. Anytime you buy a modded car from someone its 100% a gamble.
@@240raul all cars? nah. In 3 decades, I kinda know whats a gamble at this point within 5 mins of looking at a car. Modded swapped cars for sell, 99% of the time its someone getting rid of a headache or something that has sat(in a bad way) the famous "just needs a tune" is my fav red flag. If you need advice or trouble shooting help lmk, built many sr20's over the years for folks, still have my redtop from the 90s, engine has never failed at 410whp. Great engines if you take care of them, fix the factory issues, and keep it maintained.
Im not victim blaming you but I am. As someone already pointed out that car is shot yet it ran before you bought it. This is a lesson learned when you take on some1 else shitbox. No offense, I got a couple of my own but I would never pay that much let alone ask for that price unless it was in drivable condition and not a death trap.
