[kushlivin]

Damn!! Fresh, i wish my zenki had that powerplant

[dorkjoey240]

badass man any videos bro

[Slammed Assassin]

my DD looks exactly the same as the first pic, scratches on the lip and even tint.

great build, keep us posted.

[Krimlin]

I have one vid before the car broke down, I'll try and post it when I get off work in the morning, and after it gets done I'll have a few vids up.

[佩恩_]

love to see more pictures and videos, nice done.

[Krimlin]

I plan on getting alot of pics Tuesday when I'm off work.

[94spitfire91]

Nice although i really like the color now but i dont mind if you change it but mettallic pink? Are you sure? Just make sure you wont regret it im just saying i would choose different dont hate me

[Krimlin]

I'm not a total douche bag, so I value your opinion... I picked Metallic pink just to piss everyone off.

I'm still open to other color schemes.

[Krimlin]

Car should be operational today, Tuesday I'll be talking to Street Rod Concepts to see about getting a cowl molded to the hood to cover the gaping hole.

[Gjohnson7]

Nice, good luck on getting everything together soon.

[S14_Kouki]

Now thats a hole lol. Your going to need a hood scoop for that beast.

[blueshark123]

looks like shit with that crappy hole u could have atleast try to raise up the hood

[doublestitch180]

Droping in a LSX swap would have been alot less hassel. But anyways, GL with your repairs.

[n8RPS13]

Im getting ready to do my VH45 swap too!

[az_240]

That huge hole really wasnt necessary...

[Krimlin]

For the hood to clear I would have had to raise the back of the hood 6 to 8 inches, as you can see it's gotta clear the radiator cap, intake mani, and intake pipe.

Not like I'm leaving it with the hole, I just needed a quick fix to get it home.

LSX swap = played out = boring


But really plans are to cut the stock webbing out of the hood and replace with something light and thin like aluminum, so it won't be a piece a sheet metal latched to the car. and have the hood cut out more to have a cowl cover it.

[blueshark123]

lsx is quicker then this = not boring. but lets not start comparing motors cause u will lose in the end no matter what

[Krimlin]

The whole idea of this swap was to keep it Nissan in the first place, I think lsx swaps are cool as hell but not my style, I think shits boring cause 9,485,384 people have done it.

Just curious what do you have?

[blueshark123]

something that will shut ur mouth (not trying to be asshole)

[cantdrift11]

This engine swap is "dildos".

[jzepol1985]

You cant please everyone, with builds you will always get the usual haters.

Its your money do what you want with it.

Props on build.

Shit not trying to please anyone but me with this lol, but if it pleases anyone else cool.

[surge s14]

glad to see that this worked out for you krimlin

you put a lot of time in to it so go freaking enjoy it

i wish my car was done :(

as for the hole in the hood lol yeah your gonna get shit for it...

maybe the FG hood vent could cover it up?

[corbin]

Yay, another 240 well on its way to being ruined, complete with body kit and pink paint.

[Krimlin]

Ruined? Probably lol

[Krimlin]

Well I can't do pink cause there's a guy that's got an S13 that's VH45 swap and it's pink and it's in Texas too...

I'll have to do something else.

[Krimlin]

Sunday, I'll be replacing thermostat, dry icing the interior, and putting back some interior pieces like center console, glove box, radio, making a mounting bracket for the ECU, bunching up the wires and getting them in place, installing an oil pressure and water temp gauge that my buddy big sticks donated to me, getting the other 2 MB Battles and getting them on, getting a quote on a cowl and exhaust. Should be a fun weekend!

[greenzenki86]

looks good man, you probably know this already, but gsracer has a video on youtube with a vortech on it i think and that thing is so beeeasty, keep us posted man, shit is fresh!!!!

[Krimlin]

lol trust me I watched all of his vids while the motor was being dropped in waiting for the day.

I can't wait for this weekend now... I get payed and get to buy more stuff for my car!

[killa.beez33]

lol @ cut out. can't wait to see the finished product

[SlideKing92]

Yay, another 240 well on its way to being ruined, complete with body kit and pink paint.

^^^^
Haters gonna Hate


Sweet build man everything looks good, cant wait to see the final product

[Krimlin]

lol @ cut out. can't wait to see the finished product
Yeah had to do something to drive it home from the shop that's over an hour away, with no way to take the hood as well lol

It's gonna be cut up then made baller by Street Rod Concepts

[murda-c]

shoulda cleaned/painted the motor while you had it out.

[Krimlin]

I wish I would have, but it's a drift car, function over form

[Krimlin]

Did some thinking and consulting with my buddy, he figures since the top radiator cap is a low pressure cap and it's st the highest point of the cooling system when it pops it's making an air bubble in the system causing it to over heat, so tomorrow I'll be ordering dual fans with a shroud and a new radiator cap to make sure this thing stays cool.

[FusionR240sx]

For the hood to clear I would have had to raise the back of the hood 6 to 8 inches,

shoulda spaced the hood up in the back, and then got this..

http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/303859-oneupgarage-uras-style-hood-vents.html

and trim the bottom of it a lil bit.

[Krimlin]

I have a cowl on order and I'll have Street Rod Concepts mold it over the hole, that'll give me room in the future for a S/C

[Krimlin]

Job + Hurricane = No work on the car...

Hopefully this damn weather clears up and I'll get some work done, get some pics and vids up for you guys...

[s14unimog]

I wish I would have, but it's a drift car, function over form

Oooooo..... I hate that comment. Please don't keep telling yourself that...

GL with the project!

[Sam_Well.13]

too legit to quit. its done before but shit never gets old... thumbs up!

[bonzelite]

this is just insane

[Krimlin]

Fuel line is busted. It was mounted too close to the header, and melted through.

I could have died in a firey explosion full of win, too bad I didn't.

But the car is fine just needs a new hose.

[JDM Sil4ty]

good to hear youre ok. it couldve have been ugly. post a vid or sumthing bro!!

[tricky_ab]

Holy crap! Glad to hear that you're okay...That's some scary shit right there...

[gsr-boost-dc]

Cool Swap! def different.

[all4bspinnin]

cool setup man! How does the car react with that engine in there? Does it push?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Hmmm, what didn't you like about the Mazworx swap kit?

[Krimlin]

Hmmm, what didn't you like about the Mazworx swap kit?
I wish I could have pics to explain but the motor mounts don't sit flush with the x-member (the circle plates were welded on at the wrong angle causing the motor to sit about 3"-5" too high) and whoever was operating the CNC plasma cutter fails hard, cause on every plate it looks like they started the cut on the piece insted of starting away from it and moving in, which leaves and nasty begining cut.

Also the customer service was nothing to be proud of. I ordered the wiring conversion and the guy I called for info on what to send them had NO CLUE what I was talking about, and then he quoted me an estimated return time of 1 week max, but in reality it took 3 weeks...






BUT all in all I'm happy with the car overall...
Over heating fixed
Fuel leak fixed

I'm looking to either go with these 2 exhausts:
HKS Hi-Power 3" with external resonator:
Exhausts - 240SX 1995-98 (http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=321&SearchYN=N)
D-Max Revolver with pie cut turn downs:

[Krimlin]

Even running on 7 cyl. I spun through 3rd and scrached 4th.

It's gonna be around 300 whp once I get the coil plug fixed and an exhaust put on, then unknown gain when I start using 100LL aircraft fuel and get the Nistune ECU tuned

you have a hook up on that 100LL??

[Krimlin]

I live like 15 minutes from a small airport down here you pull up to the gate, get buzzed in, and pull your car up to the filling station for the air planes get fueled up and drive out!

I'll be running on pump gas for now but I'm still looking at different fuel options for my set up and what will benfit me best when I slap a S/C on it...

E85
100LL AV Gas
And the different assortment of VP racing fuels

[JDMSTYLE]

wow AV gas in a car. crazy lol.

[Krimlin]

wow AV gas in a car. crazy lol.
EGT is a lot cooler (I'm not F/I right now) but if I were turbo'ed or S/C this would be a big help.

People have brought up that it'll foul spark plugs or ruin the oil, but I had a friend run it on his stock redtop, with a T25 he was pushing 22-25 lbs (which some may say is impossible, and my reply is "did you ever ride in his car? I did and saw it with my own eyes") and his spark plugs were fine, as was the oil...

I dunno it's a thought I'm playing with...

[328iTe36]

bad ass!!!

[hellaflush240]

what a horrible experience

[Krimlin]

Ok well back from the dead, got it all home now.

Current problems:
Coolant still being pushed through cap
Dead coil pack
Haggard ass hood

Goods:
Just bought a shit load of suspension parts
Derrick Rogers custom knuckles
traction bars
toe rods
Z32 uprights
Stance drop downs

Maybe even a cage too

[Krimlin]

Ok i just bought a cage too.

[s14freak93901]

fools are gunna hate. let them

nice work though. love that fact you kept it nissan.

[Nick_04K]

AV fuel huh? Fucking crazy.

I've heard of some local oval track cars that say they're using it for some built ass motors....But everyone i talk to says its hard on shit and not worth it vs. alternatives.

Whats it cost per gallon for you??

I live right down the street from a small airport so it's pretty easy to get and the cost is around $3.50 / gallon

The thing I like about it is that it burns alot cooler and this is good for maybe FI later down the road...

Right now I'm just worried about the issues I have and installing all the new parts so I can get back to events

[HPKMotorsports3]

nice work man

I about to get some from a friend, but I appreciate the offer man!



Well I am sure the coolant problem is due to the upper neck.

Still got the hole in the hood...

Got matching rims now, fixed the water leak, replaced the thermostat.

Still need coil packs... $200 per coil pack from Nissan....

Good info is that compression is 150 across the board.

[Yellow4g63]

Ever thought of converting to a LS1 coils? won't looks as cool as the OEM nissans but they are way cheaper.

[Pure_JDM]

Nice swap man... yeah the hood is no biggie, plenty of cowls and shit to cover that.

[Krimlin]

Never thought of it, I'll have to take a look into it for sure.

[Yellow4g63]

Never thought of it, I'll have to take a look into it for sure.

it's been done on the RB2X so doing on the VH should be the same.

Thanks for the links man!

My tie rod ends won't work with the knuckles fail...

But the guy who sold me all of the parts is trading me his for mine, so all in all a win


I'm busting ass to get the car ready for the Tandem Clinic at Mineral Wells Airport, in DFW on Feb. 12-13th

[Krimlin]

The car is on Mikespeed's trailer going to Mineral Wells for an all weekend drift event, I'll have some pics up by Tuesday.

After the event it'll be sitting at the shop for a baller status DRZ cage, and full suspension set up.

[Krimlin]

Here we are 4 months later.

Injector replaced & rewired
Vacuum nightmare removed
Catch can being installed
Engine harness being rebuilt
Motor being pulled to clean swap up and make sure everything is ok
Re-route fuel lines to prevent me dying in a fiery drift explosion

[Krimlin]

Just got word that the harness is done.

Motor should be pulled out to basically redo the swap and clean the engine bay this week or next.

Cage and knuckles a for sure possibility!

[Krimlin]

Almost there, car should be back within the next week or 2.


I can't wait until I get it out on the track, and fail miserably.

[Krimlin]

LOL 7 months later still no car ha!

I love my new job but hate the time it takes away from my project...

[S-Nation S13]

Damn back from the dead..

[Krimlin]

Yeah...

Still got the car but 0 progress...

Hopefully soon

[Hoffman5982]

Why would you bring this back when there is absolutely nothing new to add??

[Krimlin]

Because I knew you'd ask why.
