Yes, hoping work goes as planned. Would really like to get the 240 in a drivable state. I have a few plans for it.

Thanks!

I know, they were so cheap to. Like I said, I almost bought them for basic principal lol. Could of easily doubled my money somewhere. I didn't feel like messing with it since I was out of town. Just keep an eye out, they may pop up again.

Few more little tid-bits.

Nismo steering rack bushings



OEM rain guards (big thanks to Sileighty_85....long story). I am not sure if i'm even going to use these things. I really don't drive in the rain. Not sure how they will look over all lol. They don't have skyline written on them like they should....even the directions has it written on all the drawings lol.



All new OEM badges.

just went through the entire thread and wow

Sileighty_85

Glad they got to you in one piece. I was a little worried when the wife told me she shipped it in the original box lol

Im in the same boat though. I bought a set 3 years ago and they are sitting in my closet still trying to decide if I wanna install them haha.

Maybe ill hold on to them until my AC becomes un-repairable.

Loving the build though. Totally puts mine to shame haha

BossHogg

lol thanks!

Shop so much easier though lol. Since the clutch needs to be done, just easier to do it all when everything is pulled out. I figure transmission will be out, might as well go ahead and pull the engine and throw on all the bolt ons/ oil pan baffle. Some stuff I'm sure we could do on some jack stands......but with factory under tray and what not, just taking off the bumper becomes a pain in the dick if your laying down on the ground lol. Lift makes it way easier. Plus I don't want to add the intercooler/inlet pipes before I get that boost controller hooked up. I'm already pushing 14-15 psi from adding bigger exhaust, which is no good for factory turbos lol. Definitely don't want to go any higher.

Thanks!

Yea I just can't picture them on. I think it will take away from the sporty look lol. Make it more everyday car-ish. I don't know. My AC still blows cold and is pretty damn strong. I'm just a windows down kind of guy though. Mine will probably sit to. At least they are OEM and new, so in a few years if they are hard to find, someone might buck up for them lol. Thanks again for helping me out!

This entire thread is nothing but pornography. That being said, I will own a skyline one day damnit....maybe by the time r33s hit the states.

BossHogg

Thanks! I'm thinking about that myself! haha. Depends on what their pricing does, if they are to much, I'll probably just hold out for R34. But I have other goals to meet first. Good thing the r34 has a ways to go. All though I think Rivsu is working on getting them legal now. But I'm pretty sure they will charge an arm and a leg since it will be very high demand and they will basically be the only ones. I think it would still be better to wait for them to just be legal. This could actually help pricing in the future, get the first wave of buyers going on exclusiveness. Then when they are legal, it will just be open for anyone. We'll have to wait and see. I'm still expecting the 80K ish range for a R34. Current prices seem to range from 50-80 depending on what is all done, mileage, cleanliness, trim level etc.






Cleaned up the ride the other day. Took this pic with the cell phone. Thought it was a decent pic lol. So shiny!

best thread I have seen so far!

BossHogg

Got a few little updates.

Took the car up to my bros at Nocturnal motorworks/JDM hookup. We had some fun changing all 4 front CV boots lol. A lot easier than write up's say haha. Kind of fun to be honest haha. Messy though

Here we have my car, a GTX35r 2jz FRS build, my bros 1jz vert 240, and 1jz coyote


axles out







There was only one boot left that wasn't torn. The rears are fine (for now)
EWWW


Here is just one of the inner boot kits. OEM replacement is best, they give you everything possible needed. Not to expensive either.



old grease vs new grease (outer boots) inner boots use different grease.



Inner boot "stamina grease"





Rebuilt!


Also put on the N1 brake cooling air guides. Cool little OEM pieces that just clip on to the tension rod.



You can see how they scoop the air coming out of the OEM brake ducts and undertray right onto the brake rotor. Looks cool




Also I put on the new badges. I didn't do the fenders because they sent me R34 fender badges lol. Not sure if I just ordered wrong part number or they sent me the wrong ones. I was only ordering new fender badges just because I got all the others so why not. They are still in pretty good shape so the little mishap doesn't really bother me.





New OEM upper and lower radiator hoses came in.



some cool shots

Me rolling up to the scene


Dat Ass

Got around to some stuffs. My clutch was slipping bad. All gears pretty much slipped. Been granny driving for a while. So a buddy got some space in his garage and in goes the car.

Nismo super copper mix twin disc
Nismo stainless braided clutch line
Nismo transmission mount
Nismo clutch-pivot
Raw brokerage pilot bushing
Redline lightweight shockproof gear oil in the trans
Redline D4 ATF in the transfercase
Nissan Matic-d in the attesa system
Nissan DOT 3 brake fluid in clutch




Removed stuff to drop trans. That's why I love titanium lol.



got a little surprise from the midori seibi titanium. It's starting to change lol. Looks awesome.



Old worn out clutch


Nismo twin disc!






Nismo clutch line. Damper tube removed also.


Nismo transmission mount



Awesome clutch. Amazing pedal feel. Very easy on the leg. Very grabby clutch lol. I bet it would be even softer if I left the damper tube. Clutch is engaged probably a good 3/4 of inch from floor. Very early grab. Killed it at first lol. But its very drivable and easy to slip once you get the footing down. Highly recommend this clutch for anyone. I can see why it gets so many good reviews for 700hp and under. It actually makes my car feel slow haha. It just wants more power. Very fun car right now. Super happy.

Nothing to crazy. Just a little over priced collectible. I've only seen 2 for sale ever counting this one. Hard to find any solid information on these. But from what I have gathered, there is only 500 made. It was a item offered at nismo festival japan sometime between 2003-2005 I believe. Haven't seen these much in my life. But someone on here actually hinted me to the auction, I really do appreciate that. I don't get on yahoo japan much anymore lol.



Takes the place of the silver Nismo gas cap cover.


Also got a new keychain.

Curious. How much did that gas cap run you? You can pm me if you want to keep it private.

TheRealSy90

Now you gotta put a padlock on the gas door haha. One of my favorite build threads for sure.

I just finished reading this thread and my god... Why do I even exist in the Matrix if there is build out there to your quality and detail? Since reading this I look at my car like my ex- girlfriend I should have just pulled out of instead of believing her lies of birth control. For anyone out there wondering if the "s" on the pill stands for safe, it doesn't, they were just Skittles. Well done Boss, well done.

Got this for ~$500. Was the opening bid lol. I have seen one brand new in box for $2000. A guy in the UK said he saw one for like 90,000 yen which is like $850. So I feel like its an ok deal for discontinued nismo that was only offered at Nismo Fest. I honestly wasn't expecting to win with that bid lol.

thanks!

Haha, thanks man.

Went ahead and changed my rear diff fluid. 10,000 pumps later. The old fluid looked brand new lol. I think Global Auto does a little tune up before they sell cars. I have noticed new looking gaskets/belts and what not in the engine bay also. They sure as hell are not 25 years old lol. Which gives me some peace of mind. Noticed the same with the trans fluid. Looked pretty good.



Also got the Profec installed. Nice little boost controller. Very easy to use. My first time using electronic, pretty easy once you go through it. Download Greddy english manual in PDF form. The japan booklet obviously wont help you lol. Adds a little flare to the cockpit. I also like the graph feature. Shows your boost in graph form all through the rpm band. That way you can tell if you're spiking or dropping boost. It's like a little dyno run lol. My graph is pretty solid jumps up quick stays put. I'm only pushing 12 psi though on the stocker turbo's.

MattTenFour

What a gorgeous car and an amazing selection of parts. This thread inspired me to order a bunch of parts and work on my 240 all weekend! Keep it up!

BossHogg

haha lots more to do! I'm mildly modded I would say. Just a lot of little stuff.

Thanks!

Me and a buddy


rolling up to the drift meet.



Pretty cool interior shot

haha thanks. Not sure how I would even price it if I did sell. I'd probably part it out and put all the original stuff back on. Not sure if someone would buy it with all the rare little tidbits and random "niche" parts I chose over other cheaper options. I mean some of this stuff is over the top ridiculous priced. But it is what it is I guess. It's like my only damn hobby, so I don't care.

Ok got bored and said F it. Wasn't balls dripping hot out, well it was, but not as bad as it has been. So I put in a little work today.

Went ahead and put on the nismo aluminum intercooler piping. Fit's like a glove....like everything nismo lol. Cell phone pics, not the greatest.








With the oil cooler back installed.



Also went ahead and put on the new upper and lower radiator hoses and the Sard Racing aluminum radiator. I have to say, Sard is top notch. Fit amazing. Stock shroud fit with no trimming at all. Nice new hard ware to mount it. A crap ton of foam tape to use. Very nice radiator. But it is Sard....they speak for themselves lol. JGTC/Super GT.....3 month wait, made to order. Cool little number plaque and BNR32 stamp etc. Mine is number 266 I believe.











Might grab a few better pics tomorrow. Sun was going down.
