well i'm back in the 240 game...ironically - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

sidewaysil80 · 08-22-2009, 09:07 PM

so some of you may remember my widebody sil80...

well, as some of you may know this car was my life and i sunk ALOT of money into it. well april 08' i ran into a problem when i switched from the power fc/map sensor to afc neo and z32 mafs (i downgraded the turbo setup and didnt need the stand alone anymore). i worked day and night and tried my ass off to get it fixed. finally after i risked my last bit of money with a shop that blew asshole i ran out of money and was forced to part it out. hell most of the shit sold on here. well all that was left was the motorswap and the shell with full suspension (minus coilovers) and cage. and my good friend took them both off my hands due to my dior straights. well, eventually, a year later i got married and decided to get an is300...i was still miserable even with countless mods and still missed my 240. decided to part out most of mods on the is and save money for a 240. then...BAM...damned if my buddy didnt sell me the swap/shell back minus a few parts lol...now i'm currently deployed and will be getting the entire car rebuilt. and to fix the issue that i originally had, a very trusted friend is putting in a brand new chassis harness, and converted engine harness. and yes, i'm going to pop ups lol...fuck was i thinking with a sil80 LOL. and i must say, if your in the va area and need someone you can trust to work on car REspec garage is the place to go! big thanks to raz and danny

ps.
sorry for the long read, i'm sitting in guantanamo bay cuba on a 12 hr shift bored out of my mind so i figured i'd do a quick re introduction if you will

disclaimer:
every s chassis/car i've had i built myself, i'm deployed and will be leaving 3 months after i get back for another one, i needed some help due to my timeline so had to get someone to turn wrenches while i was gone.

WELCOMEE BACK clean car

chibo · 08-22-2009, 09:32 PM

Funny how everyone seems to get sucked back to 240s.

bboyoracle · 08-22-2009, 09:32 PM

I saw everything from your build up to part out on vadriven. Glad to hear you are back! Looking forward to seeing the new build.

soreballz · 08-22-2009, 11:07 PM

I'm happy that you realized how lame Sil80s are. Welcome back.

lol we'll chalk it up to a phase...
i'm doing m-sports 20mm front fenders, and vertex front bumper, debating on cwest headlight cover to break up the monotany(sp?) of an oem hood, everything else aero wise is staying

95KA-Turbo · 08-22-2009, 11:50 PM

I would say no on the headlight cover

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-22-2009, 11:53 PM

Why the fuck would you down grade from a PFC to a SAFC???

thats what i wonder.
but, i think its cool you got your old car back. funny how so many jump back into an s-chassis. i left 1 s14 zenki, then came back to an s14 kouki, then opted for another s14 zenki haha.

KrazyS13 · 08-22-2009, 11:55 PM

Pretty funny story. Kinda crazy how that works out, huh? Same thing happened to me. I'm back in the 240 game after being out for 5 years. In the 5 years I built one STi swapped RS, and one fully built STi. I loved my Subarus but have since sold them and yet I still some how end up back with a 240.....lol

Your car looks great BTW, and it will look way better with pop up's! Be sure to post pics of your build!

BustedS13 · 08-23-2009, 01:19 AM

i went from a gt2871r and 740cc injectors to stock injectors on a gt28rs...their was NO need for a pfc on that setup so i sold it and put an afc on their simply to clean it all up and take advantage of my cams.

Clean car. Pop ups and better fitting wheels will work wonders.

sidewaysil80 · 08-23-2009, 04:48 PM

i'm sticking with the same wheels, just getting them coated all white and running spacers

S14_Kouki · 08-23-2009, 06:00 PM

spacers = fail, besides that one of the nicer sil80's I have seen.

adam s · 08-23-2009, 06:07 PM

Much love haha.

tricky_ab · 08-23-2009, 06:45 PM

Well your first ride was sweet, so I'm sure your next build is going to turn out AMAZING!

kalypso123 · 08-23-2009, 06:46 PM

I like the silvia face... but not the grill

180love · 08-23-2009, 07:55 PM

Just when you thing your out of the game BAM ! You buy another s-chassis.. Ive been there.. 5 times. lol cant wait to see what youre gonna do with it !

sidewaysil80 · 08-23-2009, 08:06 PM

thanks for all the comments, everything is going as planned with the new build, just trying to figure out the camshaft issue (see engine tech thread) but other then that everything is good. aero/engine/drivetrain components will be ordered on the 1st then, paint, then ordering suspension. kinda out of money after that so it'll sit for awhile until i can the interior where i want it (door panels, glove box, shift boot, ebrake boot all in suede, personal wheel, corbeau suede fx1 seat, re appholster s14 seat for passener side) and then its literally all done. maybe a tune and misc brake coponents. i'm DESPERATLEY trying to get this car featured, at least on an line mag like speed hunters or something.

shaggy240 · 06-20-2012, 06:24 PM
