Cheap mofo build and piant thread!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

bruceguy · 01-21-2009, 10:28 PM

WHAT UP ZILVIA!

this is bruceguy from the socal 818 area, and this is my FIRST 240 SX!
i know,, how gay...

anyways i always had a thing for wrenching, and up till recently ive only worked/build motorcylces.

so this the deal, i picked up an s13 hatch in lancaster, the car was rolling, but just. the car had no motor or trans, or drive shaft. but..... i got 2 sohc motors , a good friend gave me the 5 sp tranny. and i got it all for SUPER CHEAP!!!

What better way to know your car than just build it, here are some pics

team fail reporting

so i got it home later that night...................

a couple of weeks go by and i chosed the best of the two motors and hooked it up to tranny, i manage to borrow a cherry picker from black albert!!
and i put that bitch where it belongs......

sooooooo.... once that thing was in, i started to geusstimate things and hooked up lines and put the ecu and harness in, all n all, it wasnt too bad.
being that its my first 240 build.....

BTW, gotta thank zilvia network, for the info, advice and MARKET PLACE!!

bruceguy · 01-21-2009, 10:49 PM

After trouble shooting and what not, i took it around the block and it felt like shit. but thats good,, its on its way on becoming a piece of crap.

i went to the DMV yesterday and started the application to register under my name, and today i somewhat put in one piece just to see what it shaping up to be.......

i want sleepy eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............

: coold:

let me dream

im gonna need wide body rear fenders!! those fuckers cut my shit!!

[email protected] · 01-21-2009, 10:54 PM

damn!
bringing it back to life!
i did the same on my 2 tone coupe...but im jobless and cant register/tags/insurance..lol
keep up the good work

silpena · 01-21-2009, 10:56 PM

why not make new quarter panels from sheet metal?? THINK OF IT!custom widebody and only you will have it but it will be hella work. I would do it since i can do metal work and i have acess to all metal shaping tools.

bruceguy · 01-21-2009, 11:20 PM

since i got the car, i was wondering what color and how i was going to paint it,

and i decided that the car is not worth painting profesionally, and i wanted my paint budget to be.... lets say 70 bucks, should be plenty.

ive seen some nice paint threads on zilvia, but even those seem way to labor intensive and way over budget!!

im talkin about rustoleum bitches!!! newspaper,,, and some tape!!

THIS IS FOR ALL THE CHEAP MOFOS OUT THERE, TIME TO SOMETHING THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE SON!!!

i just happen to have a piant gun ( a whatever taiwan gun) and a small decent compressor, nothing fancy.

went to osh and picked up some supplies,

spent 40 bucks, still under budget, dope

well,.. thats it for the mean time, the rain is coming and that going to put thing on hold, maybe ill get shit smoged,.... ilegally !!!

feel free to ask anything, also here to take advice,

BTW, you want to see it when its almost done,.. not to spoil it... all i have say is RALLY 240SX, its gonna be sick

[email protected] · 01-21-2009, 11:26 PM

^^ahahaha
well in the second post you said it ran like shit right?

1989rps13 · 01-21-2009, 11:27 PM

that would be a great idea, but that would be too much work, plus the money spent for matieral and rent-welder, might as well buy some over fenders.

im trying to keep the project under K.I.S.S guidlines

He's not talking about mechanical timing (the cams/valves in relation to the pistons) he's talking about ignition timing. Download an FSM if you haven't already.

Not much of a build thread - but I assume you'll be adding more, so I guess keep it up?

These beat-to-shit ugly cars, and the fact that they account for the majority of 240sx ownership in America, make me sad.

HyperTek · 01-21-2009, 11:51 PM

very nice dude.. ready to join a boso team

lmao jk

Oh no he didn't

There's about to be a GIRRRL fight!

bruceguy · 01-22-2009, 12:43 AM

yo, you guys are too funny,
so gxr jordan, u like bikes? these are some of custom projects that ive built and styled,
should give some insight of my vision, enjoy

Ill let you guess why this bike is special...

feel free to ask questions.

hope my 240 turns out just as well.

irax · 01-22-2009, 12:45 AM

wait wtf are you serious? is that bike electric?

GSXRJJordan · 01-22-2009, 12:50 AM

Haha. You're saying my "primer black s14" looks the same as your car?

... not quite. I'm more into racing than the streetfighter look, but at least yours look clean.

New tail section on an old bike helps a bit, but using regular car batteries is really not the way to go for range/lb... definitely cool though. Love to hear what drive and controller you're using, and what the budget was (after the bike, of course).

those are six deep cycle rv/marine energizers, sevcon powerpak controller, sepex motor, about 50 mile range, lil over 3000 for everything, even bike.
wiating for price drop in lithium, lil overwieght st the moment, but once i could afford those LI FE P04, INSTANT wieght reduction of 200lbs.

BustedS13 · 01-22-2009, 02:26 AM

i sincerely hope you didn't pay more than a hundred dollars for that shell.

mondojackal · 01-22-2009, 03:12 AM

^correction.. *partial shell*

ixfxi · 01-22-2009, 09:23 PM

wow

this car (and the project) is embarrassing.

White Comet · 01-22-2009, 09:37 PM

^ ehh i'll hold judgment til the end

Pank · 01-22-2009, 09:38 PM

The best part is the cressida wheel

BustedS13 · 01-22-2009, 09:49 PM

i gotta see this paint job though. you're spraying on rustoleum? could be a neat trick

White Comet · 01-22-2009, 10:25 PM

prep work is key, my rattle can job turned out fine and i used engine enamel
