so what happened was i found this 1989 240sx se fastback at a junkyard (rust free) and i was going to buy it, but my buddy being the dick that he is bought it before i was able too, then he asked me to help him work on it, so being the nice guy that i am i did, but i did all the work on it, since he doesn't know anything about cars, anyways, after i finished working on it, he ended up going behind my back and selling it to his friend dylon. Then about 4 months ago, i heard that dylon was selling the 240sx, so needless to say i bought it, and now im in the process of doing a sr20det engine swap. So far the car is coming along pretty good, i've had this engine for about three years now,so right now im going through the car and fixing everything that was done half assed from the previous owner, i'll post pictures of the progress, feel free to leave any comments or suggestions
here you go here are the pics

just a little update for you guys i got the interior to together (somewhat, know mind you this is the first time that i have seen the interior together in like 5 years!!!!:2f2f: ), I'm making gauge holder where the center vents go, you can see it in the pictures, i plan on finishing it on Thursday when i get the hole saw, had to order it from sears, I'll put pictures up when I'm finished with that, the next thing i plan on doing is buying a radiator and putting in the fuel cell, the reason i haven't done it yet is because the girlfriend wanted a wii, so it sent me back a little bit, lol, here are the pics

i just ordered the down pipe today it should be here in a week or so, i got all the pieces i needed for the oil feed kit, i had to go to summit to get a couple fittings to make it work on the motor
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n244/bobby22_8/006.jpg
i had to buy this 90 degree fitting the kit does not come with one
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n244/bobby22_8/007.jpg
i had to buy this one because the adaper that they give you in the kit is to small
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n244/bobby22_8/009.jpg
this one goes to the upper oil pan for the oil drain line i had to get this one because the oil line in the kit is to small and here are the pieces i have left over from the oil kit
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n244/bobby22_8/010.jpg
i also took out the windshield to fix the leak and the rust lets just say there was more rust then i thought lol

ok i found out the 3rd problem it does not fit right,the bottom of the down pipe from the turbo hits the frame and i only can get one bolt in the turbo i tried to cut off some of the flange and the bottom but it still hits the frame i have to figure something out i just might have to make my own down pipe think i should have done that from the beginning, i dont know i am just fu!#ing pissed off to no end, any how here are the pics

messing with all that oil lines and cooling lines being wrong, and the downpipe issue isnt fun. Thats why i wound do a bottom mounted turbo if i were ever to do a sr again. I played around where you are for awhile, and its frustrating!

You should throw both your friends down a well and then fling scorpions and poo at them.
Nice build, good luck with it.
