Hello! my name is AJ and have been a member in these forums for quite some time now. I told myself with my next project!!! a build thread is a must to let the community see my blood, sweat, and slave money go to a good cause. My first car that I regret selling was a 95' base model that I converted into a kouki and installed a notchtop into it. The reasons why I sold my first 240 can turn into a book to be honest with me having 2 bikes at one point and almost dying from an accident. Long story short, I have been searching for a clean Shell but came across a working car that I couldn't pass up!!! So, let the fun begin!!!
I was in the market for a JDM vehicle and few state side FD's but I ended up buying a 1998 Nissan 240sx LE -Slicktop - Silver moss ~ Bone stockish / minor mods ~ Factory MT ~ roughly 200k miles on chassis / motor estimate due to cluster not working and stopped at 172k.
The transmission is grinding a little and the Motor is blowing white smoke here and there.... which I think both are ready to go! In my first 240 I did an SR swap with upgrades and this car I want to go with something more fun and aggressive!!! Little more info about the car mods below;
