Up for sale is my 1994 Nissan 240SX Convertible with a turbocharged F20C S2000 engine. This car was mostly stock, driven as a daily driver since 2005. DesignCraft Fabrication built it into my Competition car used in events such as Formula Drift, and D1 Grand Prix. This means that this car is ready for competition use and has passed the Tech Inspection for formula Drift up to 2007, and D1GP up to 2009. (Rule books may have changed slightly since my last race.)
I have driving it on the street occasionally up until June of 2009, but is currently registered as non operational in California. It is insured, but I have not updated the smog to re-register the car. Obviously this car will not “legally” pass a legit smog test. If you have “a guy” that will smog it for you, then this will be a sick street car.
The factory convertible top does in fact close and clear the roll cage, and is operated with the factory switch. So yes the top opens and closes automatically. The locking handles did have to be modified to clear the cage. The car has also recently been primed for paint. I was going to repaint the car white, but decided not to since I am selling it. Now you can paint it w/e color you prefer.
There are several reasons I am trying to sell the car, and I will try to list them all. First of all, since I built the car almost 3 years ago, I have driven it 4 times. Twice in Formula Drift event(New Jersey & Irwindale) once in D1GP event(Anaheim) and once in a local “Drift Day” type of an event at El Toro. So it just sits around begging to be driven. Second reason is I need a new car that I can drive my 3 year old daughter around in without my fiancé killing me.( I guess drift car and baby doesn’t go well in her book)Third reason is I am moving soon to a place with no garage. Believe me when I say that I would LOVE to keep this car, but it is just way to unpractical at the moment.
This car was on the cover of Super Street Magazine and the build for this car was covered by Import Tuner Magazine as a 2-part special. The hybrid F24 engine build was covered by Turbo Magazine.

Engine
Originally the engine was a F20C but was upgraded to a bigger 2.4L using factory Honda parts. The turbo is a Garrett GT28RS, and the engine is tuned VERY conservatively at around 350HP at 14psi. If using race gas, a lot more timing and boost can be added for way more power. The transmission is from an AP1 using a taller gear ratio to complement the higher power gains from the turbocharger(AP2 has a shorter gear ratio). This motor can actually benefit from a larger turbo since the turbo was matched to the original 2.0L F20.
