You also get a mint replacement bumper cover, two doors, and a driver's fender I kept "just in case".


What it needs:
Replacement rear plastic trim, the one that goes over the hatch latch mechanism across the back edge of the hatch opening. - about 3" of plastic above the hatch light is broken. Pieces are there, you can glue back if you want or just leave it or replace it.

It was pointed out Sunday the oil feed had about 2 drops of oil next to the banjo fitting. The copper crush washer is likely leaking... but not enough to drip and hit the ground, so it can't be much. I got some oil/sludge on my fingernail around the lower crush washer, replacing the washers is likely the issue.

I replaced the AC compressor before retiring the NX a year ago, and hit the button on the way back from Atlanta Sunday. It seems to drag the engine down a bit, and sounded a little funny so I'm guessing either low freon, or a locked clutch. I haven't checked anything out yet, and probably won't bother since nearly everyone rips it off anyway.

Asking $4500 make me an offer

EDM driver's windshield wiper too.

Oh yea, no leaking T-tops, intact A pillars, no rusted wheel wells.

All OEM parts were the best of the best from 4 partouts I did.

Bump - $5000

Exhaust leak found = nut fell off holding the turbo to the exhaust manifold, right in front. It's COLD outside, I'll fix it later.
EDIT - it was 2 nuts, and FIXED!

Beautiful NX, hope it works out for you Rob. Quick question, where'd you find that strut bar?

Just because you get older/have kids, doesnt mean you have to totally drop what YOU love to do. Thats nuts. My wife would NEVER demand I give up my hobby. I work hard, provide for my family. She would never deny me weekends to go out and play with cars. If she would have, i never would have married her in the first place. What kind of relationship is that? "You are older now and have responsibilties--you must give up all frivolous things and fun" Yikes. Its not like a 13-14 year old Nissan costs the same as a 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS with a loan on it and full coverage. I dunno...posts like this anger me to an extent and depress me. Just glad im not forced to sell my measly little Nissan LoL. /endofrantbacktoyourregularlyscheduledthread

The strut bar was due to being quick on the PM/paypal trigger and spending tons of time on the forum. I have actually seen a couple more come available, but they are quite rare.

PMKN_PI - my wife hasn't demanded I do anything. She grumbled about losing her garage spot for my project(s), but for 3 years I stole her garage bay (and mine, and the driveway) and managed to work on 5 different NXs, doing turbo swaps, transmission swaps, new engines, full interior swaps, partouts - everything you could possibly do. I had a blast most of the time, it was a good stress reliever and satisfying to see the work being done and experience the benefits of that new part freshly installed.

I have moved, started my own business, and have absolutely no space at my new home. I am now a little older obviously, and I do have kids, but it has been my decision to sell it. She's happy with it, but she never made any demands that I sell it.

I'm looking at it from a different standpoint now. I have invested tons of time and money into a hobby and project. I now have no time to enjoy that project, I have no space to work on it other than a driveway, and I hardly ever get to drive it. The "project" aspect of it is 95% done, there is very little else I would do to the car if I were going to keep it. All the parts I wanted "one day" I managed to aquire and install. I pay insurance every month for it to just sit there. I have to remember to go crank it up and drive it around the block a few times just to keep it in good condition. That is no fun, and frankly I'm not enjoying the few little fix-up things anymore. Just doing oil changes on all the cars, transmission fluid changes, filter changes, all that is just another chore. It has become just one more thing on my never-ending list of things to do. I just need a break from and it makes no sense to keep a running expense when I have debts I could put money toward, or drop a few bucks in a money market account for when I DO have the time, money, and space to start a new project.

Honestly, I think once we build a house or if we are able to find one that will work for us and get settled in I would like to start a totally different kind of project - something that requires a FAA license.

Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away while not knowing the particulars on top of it. I just personally have known people that really screwed themselves in the past when it came to a S/O and being emasculated/wussified. Your not in that boat, and on top of that it isnt even any of my business or relavant to the thread, so I apologize.

Sorry Matt, I pretty much hang out at the dash these days, and haven't serviced this listing in awhile.

I just updated it with additional pics, and new info. The prior vacuum line issue has been fixed with new and cleaned up running the lines, she drives great - just took it on a cruise up to Atlanta and back on Sunday, had a little fun with a 'vette on the way back. :-)

More pictures uploaded, see the main picture site.

Note the picture with my finger in it, that is the front edge of the passenger door, the paint has cracked right there. It is not rust, I'm pointing at the paint crack.

That is why I kept the doors and bumper, so I could get the car absolutely perfect.
