so, the new track car project...(not 56k safe) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

eds13 · 06-14-2007, 12:08 AM

My dad (jau663) bought a s13 the other day. So I went down to raleigh NC to pick it up. long story short, the car was in terrible shape. not worth the $300 he bought it for on ebay. i told the guy it wasnt worth my time or money to take it home. so he replys " how much will you give me for it?" i ended up getting the thing for $100. (still barely worth it)

But anyways, Dad and i are now the proud owners of a 93 fastback se. on to the pics!!
we pretty much gutted it today, and got a couple of over things done

wait a sec, what the heck is he doing!!!

no. it cant be! thats not possible!!

very possible indeed. we have a good little bit done so far, but the net is being gay and net letting me upload any more pics right now, more pics tomorrow

Ninjabread · 06-14-2007, 09:03 AM

Dude, if that car was in Canada, it could have sold for 3-5k... because it has no rust. damn you Americans and your rust free cars ( well souther states anyways).

Silcamino coming soon?

johngriff · 06-14-2007, 12:05 PM

Heh, if you are missing those cam caps, you are pretty much F'd and should just aquire a completely different engine, not necessarily an SR, just one that has all the parts to it. Those cam caps are per engine specific.

hahaha

get an extra set of camp caps- take the head to a machine shop with all the cam caps ( a machine shop with racing experience and a lot work with aluminum head).

They can usually check the clearences with the cam torqued down and if need be polish or even line bore the fuckers.

Dont throw the engine out just yet.

Everything is line bored as blanks. The only way to rebore would be to fill (weld) onto the head, get blank caps, and re bore the head. That is easily over $500 on an engine you could find for $300. Lets not over complicate things here.

DOOK · 06-14-2007, 12:35 PM

I say you contact the guy with teh viper motor and give him a couple hundred for it, what a tool

chmercer · 06-14-2007, 01:13 PM

looks fucking terrible. why would you smash out the windows. this is why there is no good 240s left because nobody fixes them up, they just do shit like this. i mean cut off the fucking hatch? this car was better off with the previous owner. i hate you, seriously

if you put a motor in that car and a back window, 30 dollar junkyard tails or wetsand the stock ones, it wouldntve been a total piece of shit. but now it sure is. way to go

interior looked nice too. way to go on that awesome 'gutting' job. kill yourself for real

Matej · 06-14-2007, 01:20 PM

Oh nooo, I hate those stupid fake trucks, and I know someone who would've been willing to pay a nice amount for the quarter windows.

Can I have the wiring harness?

s14xman · 06-14-2007, 01:23 PM

i don't get why you would say it wasn't worth 100? it looked fine to me

aznpoopy · 06-14-2007, 01:23 PM

can't you just remove the rear 1/4 glass? why smash it?

IIIXziuR · 06-14-2007, 01:57 PM

Car wasn't in that shitty of shape, minus those stupid looking tail lamps.
Didnt even look like there was too much body damage.

Hope the car turns out cool

420sx · 06-14-2007, 02:04 PM

90% of 240 trucks i seen in the making never make it.

hopefully this wont be another killed 240. finish the project

ms!3 · 06-14-2007, 02:23 PM

hope to see it come along. and mercer you know truck 240s are hot if completed. lets just hope this isnt an unfinished project making another 240 dead.

sideview_180sx · 06-14-2007, 02:38 PM

here are some tips. cage and brace the car. everything b/w the shock towers. if you make a rear window use lexan or the section from an old toyota pick up. get some form of rhino liner spray covering for the exposed bed since that area needs to be free and last from rust. BTW those side windows provided anywhere from 20-40% of the rear rigidity.
