not yet but its staying two tone so the bay and interior will be silver green metallic pearl and the cage and steering wheel will be the dark grey.

hit more then a few snags on the way but here is the latest pic of some progress.

Fearell · 12-20-2011, 07:27 AM

I love this car. I hope my two tone will look this clean some day

tricky_ab · 12-20-2011, 08:14 AM

yes i did. by far my favorite color combo on the coupes.

It's been forever in a day since i've checked in here but there has been alot of progress as of the last 3 weeks. got the motor in and running. now all i have to do is hook up my PS lines, plumb the chase bay BB delete setup and a few odds and ends and she'll be up and on the road.

since this picture was taken this has happened!!!!!!
SO DAMN EXCITED!!!!

Sounds good, & no BOV yet? I heard some compressor surge

....

Also where did you buy your paint to do your engine bay?

That's killer mate, I had to seriously molest my radiator support bar to fit a radiator when I did the rb25det into my old 180sx

unaffiliated240sx · 10-08-2012, 07:23 PM

just wanted to check in. got the dash cut and put back in. 90% of the brakes are plumbed. my new job takes every once of spare time i have but im not giving up. picked up some z brakes and im waiting on some new sensors to come in for my gauges. then shell be on the road. still ugly but on the road lol.

unaffiliated240sx · 07-30-2013, 08:06 PM

its been a long time but finally some progress. Fixed the compressor surge, Replaced the IC piping, replaced the rear hub bearings, Brake tuck was finished and now she drives. just need a bunch of little items and a lot of bodywork to finish it.

and this is how she sits today.

Super sexy man! love that two tone color scheme.. that seafoam green is sexxx

what kind of rims are those? and did you mold your overfenders on? I heard riveting was the way to go, but molding looks alot cleaner... Nice build man!

91coupesr20det · 12-05-2013, 04:15 AM

Cant say im anything close to a fan of those rims. But nice car none the less

Grocery Cart · 12-05-2013, 12:14 PM

I hate reading coupe builds because it makes me want to sell my zenki and buy another coupe

STOP.

No but seriously, this thing is looking sick! Cannot wait to see it all painted and pieced together.

unaffiliated240sx · 02-27-2019, 11:37 PM

Holy shit it has been forever and a day since ive posted anything about this car. I ran into problem after problem time and time again with this car. I was screwed over big time from a shop that was supposed to button up everything mechanical with the car and i ended up kinda hating it for a long time bc of it so it sat for years but I am glad to say the problems are getting sorted as we speak at a shop in tulsa i have great faith in and currently waiting on a new temp sending unit to come in and she should be running great for the first time since the swap. Going to have some wiring redone to allow easier access to the relay box, making lines for the oil filter relocation and cooler setup. I ditched the MAE's and im currently in the process of rebuilding some lxz's which im having a hell of a time trying to decide what color to powder coat them and ive started searching for a new painter to bring this back to life. For the first time in years im excited to see this car finished.
