240sx project

So im going to give you some info on one of our project vehicals.
This is my 1998 Nissan 240sx. This car i found in a parts yard by luck. I guess you could say she found me. I bought her for a hundred over blue book and haven't looked back. After some trouble with the title and trouble keeping the rear tires in good condition she sits ready for her next major installment of parts.




Here is the list of installed parts as of now

*F1 stage three clutch - (worst clutch ever) I wish i would have never bought this piece of junk. I cant wait to get my RPS or Exedy clutch.

*Prolite racing chromoly flywheel 16lbs - got this with teh clutch but it seems to be ok.

*Tanaka (extremly) solid polyurethane bushings - for the rear subframe, tried to do a cheap fix and i got what i paid for. The bushings squeek but it is minimal.


*Prothaine front tension rod bushings - God these things are solid.

*Tokico blue hp struts w/ matched tokico springs 2.0/1.8 inch drop front/rear

*PBR metal master pads with Castrol GT-LMA fluid (exceeds dot 4 and 5) I love this stuff, guaranted not to boil the fluid on a street setup.

*I also just bought a vibrant performance muffler that sounds great and looks amazing, i had it installed with 2.25 inch piping. I retained the factory look with more attitude, but the tone is still very mellow till WOT.











STAGES TO COME


*T-3 turbo kit with low boost 260whp high boost 350whp on a stock block with my own fuel and ignition tuning.(if she holds together)

*four piston front brakes and VLSD as well as five lug conversion from a Z32 (second gen 300ZX) that just so happens to be right next door.(gotta love neighbors with two many parts cars. Thanks Mr. Gene

*sway bars,interior work,sound system,strut bars, misc odds and ends.

the start

So i should introduce my self. I have taken part in various builds for the past five or six years, from Honda's to Chevy's from one make builds to Frankenstein projects that make Hoosier's scream in their sleep. My ultimate goal with any project can differ but usually i end up with a decent final product.
Enjoy.

Here i am with the only thing in my life im affraid of.
