1990 240sx W/ Swapped Turbo Ca18det

Ok....Heres the story...I bought a 90 240sx w/ a blown ka24e in it to swap in a ca18det and make it my daily for school. I pulled the motor, and prepped the engine bay, while i waited around a month to save up for the ca18det motorset. When I finally got the money i ordered a ca18det motorset from a guy I know that works for Osaka Jdm Motors. The motor & tranny had 23,496 miles on it (Converted from KM), and was guaranteed by them and my friend. I waited 2 weeks for the motor to get here. It arrived at my house on friday morning and was lowered into our shop by the truck. I unwrapped the celluphane(or however you spell it) And it was amazingly clean, i thought it had just fallen off the factory line it looked so clean. I did not let this fool me though, and I still replaced all of the gaskets, the o2 sensor, and the oil. I dropped the motor in and connected various needed things (With the help of Lee and Korey over the internet). Well as I'm doing the swap I'm 1-2 months away from School, and my last years loan payments start coming in and I slowly run out of money. Well I have to wait about a month or so until i have money again to start working on it once more. Well by this time I'm really close to school and being pressured by my parents to take it to a shop and have them finish it before school so i have a car. Well being as stubborn as i am i said no, because i wanted to be able to finsih it all by myself and not be a quitter after all of the work i had put into it. Also, Money was a factor, considering the various performance shops wanted more than i made in a year to finsih the car. So school approaches, i have no car, parents are freaking out, told me if i don't have the car sold they will kick me out, because they want me to have transportation for school.(all of this makes no sense to me). Lots of fighting going on etc. The car has to go or I have to go...with my car. Ok, so here I am almsot 5 months later....frustrated, broke, and well.....****ing pissed as hell. Heres the details, oh and please do not lowball, yes i am in a hurry to sell, but i'd rather get kicked out on the street with this car than take your lowball. Picture will be up later today.
