[jamg]

sexy ass crack, (no homo)

[twisties]

thank god you ditched that s15 front for the aero s13

[zenki.life]

yea i hate s15 fronts on anything but a s15

but those ganador mirrors are cool

[WangonwWarrior]

he cheated and put a strap around his back to make his ass look bigger but its still hot. Moar pics

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i don't understand why people try to save rusty s13's. drive it til it breaks and and then move on.

if every car enthusiast drove with your retarded mentality then prices would skyrocket via scarcity in a few short years and dumbasses such as yourself couldnt afford to drive any more s13s into the ground.

morons like you who treat cars like bic razors should quit the 240 scene asap



to the op, nice car. you're heading in the right direction. no more s15 front and soon to be without a retarded amount of intake pipe

for the sake of arguing, i'll say this:

i used to own a rusty 240sx, and i dumped thousands into it. then it rusted into oblivion. it sure was a smart investment. i've already quit the "240 scene" a long time ago, broham.

well for starters, cars are usually not investment material..... you never get back what you put into them anyway.
secondly, if your car did rust out you just swap all the parts to another shell.

You put thousands of dollars into a car and never bothered getting the cancer out? :bowrofl:

lol true if these old restoration builders can fix american classic pretty much a rust bucket then a 240 can be fixed/restored the same way !!!

Someone is trying to be counterculture a lil too much. :loco:

Good build though. Cant wait for more.

Nice! keep it up!

[tricky_ab]

Looking good! I wish I was skilled enough to work on my own car :(

[driftertim]

I got the Apexi Power FC L-Jetro with the Clit Commander and Datalogit with software. I'm not sure how this changes things as far as wiring. Since I decided to get rid of my AC system which used to work to save on some weight. I dont know if I should take the heater core out all together and loop the heater line back to the motor in the rear where it connects to the fire wall. Let me know what youguys think. Any suggestions comments hate is welcome. I know I dont have dope ass wheels but im going for function right now. Thanks for the comments guys. Working on your own car is a learning process and sometimes its more expensive than having a mechanic do it. The amount of nuts n bolts I have broken and lost has cost me a lot because I only get my goodies at the Stealership.

[driftertim]

just a teaser :D

You haven't heard about this yet???? Dude, it drops panties in 3 seconds flat, and gurantees multiple O's every time.

Nice build so far BTW, paint looks nice!

[driftertim]

I know its kinda bad to ask here but on a stock head/block running the Greddy plenum and Q45 TB, I know my gt2860rs can only flow for a max 350WHP .
I'm also mounting my greddy vspl FMIC up side down mounted inside the radiator support to cut at least 3 feet of piping because I refuse to cut my sweet Silvia Ks Aero bumper to fit the FMIC
Any idea if it will help spool faster ( Greddy Intake = Laaaag) since I will be losing bottom end some to gain up top because of the giant intake?

[zurud]

if you don't like the lag on tiny turbo like gt28 then turbo car is not for you. You better off with big v6 or v8.

Thanks for the smart comment but not to say I dont like v8s but i'm looking for a balance between response and top end so for you to tell me to ditch the turbo engine is not really answering my question. Lag to me is hitting boost past 3,500 RPM. I know some guys hit full boost at 4,500 RPM and have ridiculous top end power.

I am trying to achieve a linear torque curve where I have response from a small turbo and can maximize its breathing when it starts to run out of breath. The reason im bringing my FMIC closer is because I choose to have less turbo lag thus creating more response. I know the Stock Intake Manifold and Exhaust manifold are both super reliable up to 400 wheel with no issues what so ever. I also know my 740cc injectors are overkill for my setup.

What I was wondering was if my Greddy Intake Plenum with the Q45 Throttle Body would add a lot to my turbo lag. Your answer was very helpfull though, I think ill just sell all my SR parts and goodies and spend another 10K putting a V8 in. :nono: LOL

You mean EMO's, Extended MAssive Orgasms.

Ok so here are some things I have added :

ST Sway Bars front n back in Hulk Green
Optima Red Top BAttery
Moroso Battery Relocation Box
Moroso Batt Kill Switch
Cusco Shifter Bushing
C's Short Shifter
S15 7 layer exhaust mani gasket
CS Thermal Intake Gasket
Magnetic oil drain plug
Spec Lightweight Chromoly Flywheel
OEM Rear MAin Seal
Auto to Manual braided Clutch line
CS 250cc Oil Catch Tank
CS GT series oil restrictor
SPL Solid Clutch Pivot


I also purchased a Nitrus kit with no tank and dont worry, I dont plan on running Nitrus on my SR, if anything I will go Meth but the A/N lines are baller and I can most likely use them to make some other fittings because like a lot of people here I'm a big fan of braided lines n fittings


Future Plans:
------------

Chase Bays Brake Lines for Stock booster set up
Chase Bays Power Steering line kit
AEM Water Meth Kit


I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. Here is my dilemma :

I would like to drop my motor in to start my wire tuck on the engine harness and body harness.

I'm going to be buying a new clutch and here are my options :


ACT NS1-XTSS
Exedy Stage 2 3puck

Now in order to tune I would need a clutch thats broken in on the dyno. Its not really ideal to break in a clutch on a dyno or dyno on a brand new clutch. I guess my only option is to boost until my stock clutch slips. Then upgrade once the engine set up is tuned. I plan on either going with a GT2871r with .64 A/R then when I rebuild the motor a GT3071 with a top mount mani.

The educated guess would be to use the clutch I got in there because its only got a thousand kilometers and Exedy rates it for being good for 257ft/lb which I have been told is more like 280 ft/lb. I see torque numbers from mid 200ft/lb to lower to mid 300 ft/lb being made with an SR thats got a big intake and cams.

To buy a clutch and glaze it on the dyno would be pretty stupid and changing a clutch on a SR is less than half a days worth of work on the ground.

So anyone want to chime in and tell me what I should look out for while putting this bad boy back together?

The plan is to get a base tune from Steve Shadows for my PFC. If I can break a clutch in on his base tune before I can go to a dyno then I would be really happy and will just order the clutch and put it in before I drop my motor in.

How much boost will a Stage 1 Exedy hold with a GT2860RS .86 A/R before I fry it to bits?

I'm guessing at 10-14 psi I would reach the clutches max torque even though I know SRs are not torque monsters. Any suggestions would be taken in and seriously appreciated.

Pictures coming soon :D
