I happened to be searching through craigslist and found a 240sx coupe shell. I have always wanted a coupe so i decided to snag it. Got it for $250 only had 75,000 original miles but someone had messed the car up. Body was straight besides front fenders and the car didnt have a spot of rust.

So i drove the car like this for 6 months with no problems on 17psi and close to 300whp. Oil seals in the turbo where starting to leak. I had to make a decision upgrade turbo or go another route. I decided to with a 1JZ. Figured great motor and will be more reliable at about 450whp then the old sr. Thats where i am at today. Just got my complete 1jz/r154 swap ordered mounts. Made wiring diagrams to get it going . Just waiting on parting the sr swap to finish buying parts for the 1j.
Got the swap to my house and tore the sr out.
