Thanks for the words..

Anyone know where I can get Brand New bolts/nuts for all the suspension arms? I pm'ed RussellM @ nismoparts.com but didn't get a reply.

240SX Bolts, S13-Bolts

AnotherZenkiKid · 10-05-2010, 04:29 PM

hardware store?
thats what alotta guys use for bolts,

baller bolts is good but its pricey D;

C-unit · 10-05-2010, 04:51 PM

^ yea..i bought the bolt in to the local hardware store but none of them have what I need.

I am thinking about these:
Nissan 240SX Rear Suspension Upgrade Bolt Kit S-13 - $127.
Nissan 240SX Front Suspension Upgrade Bolt Kit S-13 - $34
Still need the bolt for the upper control arms though.

Doesn't sound too bad after looking at their Titanium kit.

OBEEWON · 10-05-2010, 05:54 PM

bolts? just use zipties.

S13coupeRB25DET · 10-05-2010, 06:10 PM

Are you trying to make your gtr a drift car.

I am not trying to make this into drift car. I am making a w/e invincible zomgbbqrofllmao motorsport mobile.

MitchellBade · 10-05-2010, 06:31 PM

You definitely need some baller bolts. I mean, why not? You're already going all out, why stop short?

daftphunk · 10-05-2010, 07:08 PM

This is such a dope ass build. Those brakes!!!! shit

*s13 @ fullboost* · 10-05-2010, 07:29 PM

hella down

tricky_ab · 10-05-2010, 08:14 PM

I'm watching this build for sure! This is going to be EPIC!!!!

I'm a big fan of this kit.

you could always do oem ones

C. Anderson · 10-05-2010, 09:07 PM

It would have been super cool leaving it awd using g35x stuff. But then it wouldn't be as much fun. Awesome job so far!

dreamin240sx · 10-05-2010, 10:30 PM

i love it amazing i tell ya amazing

*jspecusa* · 10-06-2010, 12:47 AM

I agree with you it's a retarded build.
My 400hp R32 GTR feels slow already, I don't know
how slow a N/A 300hp would be.
Replacing the stock GTR aluminum hood with carbon is not
weight saving at all, and it's actually a downgrade to
go from GTR front end to a GTS front end, you should know
the GTS side markers are so much narrow then the GTR amber.

- metal rear widefender then why would you replace the fronts with fiberglass ones?

as for the track the VQ is not really a good choice of motor,
if you have gone to the back of Nissan dealerships you'll see the
pile of VQ motor they swap out for warranty issues.

If I was going to spend the money you are to build a track car, I would've
use the connection you have a get a R35 front clip and swap in the brakes and VR38
VQ tranny with beefier internals and a R34 GTR rear end.
The R32 chasis even with everything stripped it's still heavy, like
the ATTK R32 it would need about 600 to 700hp to be consider fast.

Anyway, I'm just giving my 2 cent about how this build will be a disappointment
at the track consider a S13/S14 with 350hp SR will pass you by with less money spent.

Thanks for the comment/opinion as I love constructive criticism.

And yes..you are not the first guy who said I am an idiot..lol but here is my inspiration:

To me..even a stock GTR has tremendous of turbo lag which I really hate. A VQ35 will have a much smoother powerband compare to the RB26. And with the RWD VQ35HR set up, I saved about 300Ibs compare to the AWD RB26 which I think will help the performance quite abit. Beside the performance aspect, the VQ will outlast the RB because of the harmonic balancing and oil pump issue.

The CF hood actually weight alittle bit less than the GTR hood, around 2Ib, plus I want the vent for extra cooling. Fender wise, it does wight more than the GTR aluminum one but I like the look with the side vent. side marker wise..i m not too worry, i have both set at home.

Regarding the VQ being a shit motor. Yes and No. The DE is a pos with weak internals, relatively bad head design. However the newr HR and VHR motor are completely different design. The HR and VHR share the same design as the VR38 w/o the plasma coating. The HR block even haves the oil drain/feed tap on the block. The HR/VHR tranny is also different than the old DE tranny, regardless, I am waiting for OS-giken to come out with their short ratio gear kit. There are lots of mis-info about VQ being a complete junk motor. Yes, the old ones are garbage. But the new HR/VHR are what the VR38 based on.

I thought about the R35 engine but back when i was collecting parts, they are still over 8g for just the engine + turbo. That is way over what I've spend on my set up.

I am not here to build a fast car, I am here to build a balance car with enough power. (to me anyways). Driving pleasure > actual speed in my opinion.

oh and trust me...I didn't spend as much as you guy's thought I did...

*jspecusa* · 10-06-2010, 01:44 AM

My point is if people are swapping VQ out of Z33 for SR and V8
that means it's not a good setup for such heavy car.
Yes, I do agree with you the HR is much better motor, but it would
be great in a S13/S14 not a R32.
Balance is building a car like light weight car with high reving motor not a heavy car with N/A V6 hp.
Wait til you add up the total when you have it done like Smokey's car,
it would've been better with a stock VR38 tune to 500hp on FR R32 chasis.

Slammed Assassin · 10-06-2010, 01:46 AM

sick build!!

C-unit · 10-06-2010, 01:51 AM

^ I guess to each their own.
I am still looking forward to have it on the ground so I can weight it. So far I have shaved over 200kg off the car already.

But power wise..it probably wont stay NA for too long. It'll probably be TT once I get used to the car.

liv2drift045 · 10-06-2010, 03:39 AM

build looks awesome man

PrecisionZ · 10-06-2010, 03:51 AM

You are right about the HR motor though. The only issues the HR had was a slave and throw-out bearing issue. But not a big deal if you are going with the giken tranny. The Rev-up DE's had the issue of burning oil, I should know since I went through 3 motors. But the earlier DE's didn't really have issues other than them being much weaker in power. I love the HR motor and can't wait to see this finished.

Good luck man! I like the originality.

bb4_96 · 10-06-2010, 04:03 AM

I like your build. Don't jump on the big power bandwagon. There is no feeling like driving a well balanced car. Especially on a tight technical course.

OBEEWON · 10-06-2010, 08:10 AM

A well balanced car is great.

But come on. EVERYONE wants big power. Don't even lie to yourselves!!

I still like this build.

kalypso123 · 10-06-2010, 10:48 AM

This build is overkill....call the morgue

itwillboost · 10-06-2010, 11:43 AM

Sweet build, keep it going. And since that's your inspiration are you going to go itb's ?

thefro526 · 10-06-2010, 11:43 AM

This build is interesting.

I cannot fathom why someone would take a GT-R, Covert it to RWD, and Swap out the RB26 for a VQ, but it seems as if you're making it work.

Cool stuff dude.

(Though, I am quite curious as to how well this will handle at the track. I'd imagine that the majority of the VQ is going to be behind the plane of the front strut towers making it a sort of Front-Midship Chassis)

ETHANOLED SR · 10-06-2010, 12:36 PM

This build is great except for it's missing the twin turbo kit!!! The Brembos are nice! Are they the 1 piece cast calipers?
