I didn't change swaps to really lower the price(thought it helps), but to be able to finish it faster.

To accomplish this on a 240 you gotta make headers and stuff, the factory ones fit on my car.

18x10 rear 18x8.5 front real 3 piece wheels. rears are welded so they're only a two piece, the fronts i'm going to tear apart and get them to be 10's up front.

Future_gohan · 04-27-2011, 07:43 PM

I did all the fitting to my wheels, I didn't notice it I guess but I think my one rear side is pulled out more than the other. idunno yet.

So that's all done.

I cut up my lca's and shortened them to add some + camber in the front untill i decide to make custom ones.

I mounted my k-sport ebrake and welded it to the trans tunnel, with all the interior in it looks pretty factory I'm pumped about that, i just gotta run the lines.

I sat my motor in, and said fuck.

Idk how the shit is suppose to clear the hood, but i'll figure it out, cutting my hood isn't an option.

Who needs a hood?

PoorMans180SX · 04-28-2011, 08:42 AM

Notch the crossmember and modify the oil pan and pickup. You'll probably have to make a custom intake manifold too.

M11's · 04-28-2011, 09:02 AM

what coils are you on

Future_gohan · 04-28-2011, 09:02 AM

my hood clears everyone calm down

irax · 04-29-2011, 03:54 AM

cool, this would be the only 450zx that I've seen that was able to close the hood.

can't wait to to see the pics of this black magic!

Future_gohan · 04-29-2011, 09:08 AM

Well theoretically I could space the lower crossmember down an inch, and would then clear the stock hood. But my car is slammed so i'm not doing that because I need all the clearances i can get.
