The RB20 Build
So, this is my build on my car, I got a POS 1995 240sx but it had some good stuff on it.
Like a clean as crap KA24de that ran amazing with 130k miles
VLSD, Megan street coil's, 5-speed
The shell was ruined, was just like...wow...you'll see.
I still enjoyed it though, even though it didn't have a title since I got screwed on it :/
here's some pics of it.

Me being dumb lol
STUPIDITY DELETED
This is that rusted POS driving, and my first time actually taking it and sliding it...(yes, neighborhoods...not a good idea, stay away from it now)
STUPIDITY DELETED
So that's that...
So not being able to daily drive it (looks and cops would pull me over lol..)
But this was my first car I ever drifted (yes, in the streets...tracks weren't as available when I bought it, and streetwise drift was only starting out)
So I decided I needed to buy another shell and put my stuff onto it, kinda needed it since this one had so much rust.
So I ended up finding this shell for $400
It had everything, even an engine that just needed timing work (I sold the engine though, had a running one)

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010814.jpg
The entire interior was even there :)
Sucks it was blue though, I later used some Black interior parts I had from my shell and painted the Dash black, worked out great.
So I did the swap, Ended up pretty nice :)
No pics of that though, a couple of vids though :)
STUPIDITY DELETED
No exhaust on it, some flames XD
STUPIDITY DELETED
After I put on my custom 3' exhaust
The front end wasnt the prettyest thing though, needed quite some work
I'm a freak about having my body panels match up lol
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010855.jpg
So after taking off the bumper support and bumper retainer off my other shell, and some tweaking (the shell had been backed into before, that's why the front sagged)
Here's how it looked after I messed with it :)
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010870.jpg
And what was left of the car I parted out

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010967.jpg
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010968.jpg
So I daily drove it like this for a while, steelies and gay front rims....I'm a young kid and didn't have a job and got some money from parting out stuff.
Took it to a few drifting event's and burnt some rubber haha
STUPIDITY DELETED
STUPIDITY DELETED
And was testing out my friends sportmaxx's
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone2010958.jpg
So took it to a few drifting events
My first was a fail haha
STUPIDITY DELETED
Then took it to a practice event, barrowed someones wheels for the front to help with some grip :)
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/iPhone20101065.jpg
STUPIDITY DELETED
Drove it like that as a daily, then got a job, God Blessed me so much with this already, so greatful and when I got a job, I was able to do so much more!
I got some Kouki taillight for $80, was so happy!
Bought an SE Lip
And some P45r's :)

Me and my Buddy, that's an RB20 S13 hatch, that engine is what inspired this entire RB20 build :)
Added some fogs hehe
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/69842_482110442783_644157783_7036969_2527274_n.jpg
Practiced everywhere I could, had enough power to teach me to control, so I stuck to rainy days when I wanted to feel like I had 'power' haha
STUPIDITY DELETED
Drove like this and was happy...
Then I wanted power, I saved up and decided to go KA-T (Big mistake later)
Got a T25 with bigger injectors and a crappy tune...but it ran
Here's first time starting her, ended up being a 3 month build
STUPIDITY DELETED
Some first pics of her after I started driving it turbo
Had a warped oil pan, bad rear main seal, and a crappy clutch :/

Had those issues fixed but my injectors always gave me issues.....
So one day...when I gave it gas on the highway, it blew the rings on pistons 2 and 4....
So decided to rebild the pistons and sell the engine to start my RB20 build...
messing with the KA was a pain, so i decided that going RB was a good way..
Started the work O__O
This is where I am today,
Took the KA24 apart, and going to replace the pistons and rings with new one.
so far what I done with the engine, probably going to wait till the RB swap is done before I finish up the rebuild of the KA

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/P5038910.jpg
So then I started prepping my car for the RB
Starting out with lowering the car, so I needed to hide the wiring harness....again...
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/P5038918.jpg
That should do.
Shot of my interior...nothing special
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/John321321321/240sx/P5038917.jpg
So I started prepping the engine bay
