FS: NC 2001 5sp Topaz, Unmolested!!!

bigstyle · 08-08-2012, 09:37 PM

I know im going to regret this but I am putting her up for sale. I have an e36 coupe, e46 coupe and a work vehicle so its time to sell one of coupes. I bought her in december 2009 from a local nissan dealership. Since then I have replaced:

controls arms (meyle)
tie rods (Meyle)
fuel filter
rear trailing arm bushings (UUC)
rear shock mounts (Ground control)
guibo (lemforder)
545 shifter
front and rear brembo blanks
front hawk pads
rear pads
clutch delay valve delete
redline transmission fluid & differential fluid
replaced voltage regulator on alternator
replaced power steering pump with new stronger LF-30 pump and high pressure hose
treehouse racing front control bushings
black kidneys
cam position sensor (bank 1)
intake boot
clutch stop

The bad:

front and rear interior pillars need to be re-covered
front control arms are starting to make noise again
resistor for ac/heat will need to be replaced eventually (both ac/heat work but fan does not adjust accordingly)
valve cover gasket has slight leak

Parts to be installed:
crank ventilation valve

Mileage: 124,000
Asking Price: $9000 obo

old guibo

new guibo installed

GLWS OP so nice.

Off topic question, when you changed your guibo did you change the nuts?

bigstyle · 08-13-2012, 10:47 PM

No I didn't just changed the guibo

Just replaced the intake cam position sensor and intake elbow today after work. feels amazing

old cam position sensor

new sensor installed with the old laying on top

old sensor again

old intake elbow

new intake elbow on the bottom waiting to be installed

Idles perfectly now and barely need to touch the gas pedal to get the car rolling in 1st gear

good time to buy

I am in Greenville too! very nice car!! I always wanted the Topaz color. Only thing I hate the Gray interior. My previous Alpine white had Gray interior, one reason I got rid of it. But good luck. you should have no trouble selling it!
