The first step is to go back to your roots and replace the Japanese engine with an American one.

thanks guys! and turst me the first thought in my mind was an LS1 swap with a T56 6 speed. BUT......i feel that i need to get out of my comfort zone and see what my experience and knowledge can do with a 4 cylinder car lol. ive build many LT1/LS1 cars and i own 2 6 cylinder turbo vehicles, so now its time to boost the $HIT out of 4 cylinder for once lol

here are the pics of the car as i bought it and some of the things i have already done to the car.

first morning of me owning this!


the previous owner told me that the car had a blown head gasket. this is how the engine bay looked when i got the car.


after pulling the valve cover and removing the intake manifold i found a short piece of heater hose that was blown out just above the starter. so much for it having a blown head gasket :P while i had it apart i couldnt help but clean things up and make it my own.


the trunk and center tail light section was damaged when i got the car. so with some luck i found a 96 240sx in a local junk yard that had a good trunk and tail lights. it also had alot of other parts i needed. i went ahead and darkened the tail lights.


i also was sad to see that the Nissan logo on the tail lights wasnt just stuck on. it has holes in it which i didnt like, so i modified the emblem a bit and painted it to match my valve cover


the drivers headlight and passengers side marker lenses where broken with holes in them when i bought the car so i crabbed them from the junk yard car and switched the driver headlight lense and cleaned up all the front lights.
