What have you found rigged on your 240

[blake110491]

So far i've found the clutch pedal held together with a allen socket and nut hammered on,plenty of wires tied together then tape thrown on, like twenty clamp on splices, ghetto hid's which i removed when i went kouki, super glued shift boot, welded over two holes that hold the fender on and terrible welding of course.Hmmmm oh when i first got the car the battery was just chillen in the trunk without tie down and almost destroyed the car.:smash: felt the need to share my day haha

HA when i got the last coupe I had before my current one, this mess was wired under the dash. NEVER do your own alarm unless your a pro.

I probably would have freaked out if was planning on keeping that pile. Well i was planning on turning it into a track car but got over that quick.

Ha those little red splice things are all underneath my steering column for some reason.My wire problems are not that excessive though, bet that was fun to play with...

[SinGarage]

Damn that thing looks like a birds nest. I hate wiring!!

[Wake]

I bought a engine harness of some kid here and it had speaker wire spliced into it for some reason lol

I dunno why but I love wiring. I mean once you understand it, its kinda fun.

same shit with my car. the alarm was draining my batt. ripped that shit out.

[lysticalz]

both fenders were welded on, exhaust was horridly welded, fell off a day later.

lawn mower battery, with ghetto rigged jump start terminals in the fuse box

motor mount was a normal mount with a metal piece in between both sides welded together


its all great now though.

[pacotaco345]

my car was missing the glove box latch.. so it was held up with chicken wire and cut the passenger's knees to hell whoever it was haha

[burtonrida133]

lawn mower battery, rattle canned right over existing maroon paint, front bumper was held on my double sided tape

[towlie]

When I first bought my hatch it had Honda accord wheels lol

nothing like this^^^

but my intake was held on with red zipties and one of my interior panels was screwed in with a self taping screw.

just baby complaints

[heiyuu]

Rusty ass antennae base/mount bolted to the hatch/trunk with a thick ass cable running to the deck location. I can only assume it was for mobile TV which apparently is very common in Japan.

Uber JDM tyte road flare holder thing underneath the glove box.

Daytime running lights are wired to the engine ground fuse (works great thou lol).

[Wake]

that road flare thing under the glove box is oem

[davirene]

89 all original 5spd Coupe SOHC

Well I found a jumper wire with a ground on the MAF. It was factory looking.

I actually removed it and the car starting running crappy....so I put it back on...

Then I found they professionaly wired in a Voltage Regulator??? Why I dont know....The Alternator read fine....So I disconnected it....and once again the car ran crappy...so I put it back....

Old saying "If it works dont fix it"

[Wake]

Extra ground on the MAF is actually a service tip from nissan. Apparently nissan sucks at wiring, go figure.

[dreadedfist]

Not a 240, an hcr32, so basically a glorified s chassis. Front bumper was held on by zipties, discovered the car was an auto before being converted to a 5 speed at some point in its life, lose wires everywhere that I had to clean up. Also discovered various bolts that were to short for their intended application while poking around underneath it.

Ahh, the joys of DIY Japanese mechanics :wan:

I've got the after pic, but it's got a middle finger in it :)

I've got all kinds of shit... Taillight ground is speaker wire, it works just looks super tacky.

Auto to manual was done terribly, wtf is solder and heat shrink amirite? No reverse lights... uh, top has 1 bolt on one side...
Someone sprayed the interior with this sticky black paint shit and didnt remove the sound deadening. FML...

[Nidd]

The bracket that holds the middle section of the driveshaft up and from moving to much got ripped out so it's now welded in place.
