TinyT's Build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Tiny_T · 10-19-2010, 10:38 AM

Hey guys. Iv been screwin around with 240s for about 4 years now, since I was 17. this hatch has been my major project and last winter is when I really started to do some heavy work to it. everyone likes build threads so I figured id post some pics

quick run down of the future setup for it.

built ka24de
haltech platinum sport 1000
1600cc injectors
t70
air/water intercooler
crower v3's
8.50 cage
4.636 gears

bla bla

heres how it looked when I was 17

then my first round of turbo'ing when i was 19

started to polish the volks. yes, they are from 1991

and where its at now, hopefully will be a full painted roller by spring

j20accord00 · 10-19-2010, 10:49 AM

looks good saw the build on ka-t..however you should throw some before pics how the car sat. give me people a good understanding of how it once looked.

This dude has awesome fab skills..good luck with the project

Ham Sandwich · 10-20-2010, 02:16 PM

Oh shhhhit. This is gonna be nasty.

s14unimog · 10-20-2010, 02:31 PM

someone got a little saw happy...lol. I'm sure this one is going to be good. Keep it up!

BoostSlideWayz · 10-20-2010, 04:43 PM

ohh man this is a build.. thats like perfect..

CaptainVlad · 10-20-2010, 04:51 PM

Cool that you can do all this fab work, but why tubs for such small wheels.

drift_limo · 10-20-2010, 05:26 PM

Is this gonna be a drag set-up??
jsut asking bc of the way where the turbo is set.

Nick_04K · 10-20-2010, 05:33 PM

^^ You think he planned on running the same wheels forever? With an engine bay that serious, surely he planned on upgrading the wheels to something that would utilize tubs. And a hill billy seat??? Your a fucking idiot! Kirkey isn't hill billy in the slightest. It's a respected and safe seat for straight line racing, which looks to me like the direction that this build is headed for.

Walperstyle · 10-20-2010, 05:44 PM

Make a duplicate of that manifold please. $500 waiting for you when you do. k thnkx bye

ElmStormer · 10-20-2010, 05:48 PM

Keeping my eye on this Build Thread! Thumbs Up!

97240TB · 10-20-2010, 05:49 PM

This shit is bonkers. Loooooove itttt!

Tiny_T · 10-20-2010, 06:05 PM

LOL!! thanks guys! to be honest I do just like fabricating, and this car has been my test dummy. It started with the tubs because the salt up here in wisconsin rotted my wheel wells away, so when I was 19 I tried my hand at doing the tubs because it was that or trying to weld sheetmetal from another car back in.

It got to a point where I had to pick one direction and I had more stuff for a drag car so I decided on that. I went to put a fuel cell in last winter and ended up redoing the frame from the strut towers back. Next I went to re do the engine bay and ended up shaving most of the firewall and going tubular, and I still am adding some more bars from the strut towers down to the rails. Then I went to start doing the cage I cut the catalytic converter hump out of the floor, which led to more cutting of the floor, which led to the removal of most all the floor and tunnel. Im still gonna make a new new intake and exhaust manifold for the car as well as a bunch of other fun stuff. Thanks for the compliments though. its weird, most people I know really hate on me for the project, except for my good friends .

vlad, im sorry you dont like my wheels. I found them on ebay years ago and fell in love with them. volk gtu's from 1991. Instead of buying bigger wheels im gonna do ya one better and narrow the fronts and widen the rears

eklips3 · 10-20-2010, 09:55 PM

o...m...g

this is SICK , cant wait for updates.

anton1o · 10-21-2010, 06:55 AM

Hell yeah mate, love the work good to see people putting there effort into it.

Cant wait to see what you have aimed for it next.

jparker7 · 10-21-2010, 07:41 AM

sweet build. Not sure why people what give you shit about it. Your turbo mani is awsome by the way

HPKMotorsports3 · 10-21-2010, 08:38 AM

damn Tiny i was wondering when you were gonna post your thread over here...

iamtheyi · 10-22-2010, 01:48 PM

^ I also agree. Lol. I saw Tiny's thread awhile back. KA-T thread has moar pictures :]

fckillerbee · 10-22-2010, 05:37 PM

seeing this makes me wonder....

how much of the car can you cut away without it making an impact on driving?

I understand you could technically build a complete tube chasis...but I was more so asking this in a weight ratio (front to rear to each corner)...wondering how much of the human error would cause a car to be technically off?

if this makes any sense at all.

Tiny_T · 10-22-2010, 07:46 PM

that would be the case If I put .750 wall tubing in the front, .120 wall in the middle, .500 wall on one side, and a combination of 16, 14, and 12 gauge sheet in each different corner.

I pretty much put back in the same place what I took out, just made it extremely rigid and nhra (currently 8.50, and easily upgradable to 25.5) legal

Backintoans13 · 10-23-2010, 03:28 PM

subscribed......build looks like its going to be fucking sick! not into drag specific cars but can always appreciate the craftsmanship one puts into there car. Updates????

Tiny_T · 10-23-2010, 04:10 PM

I got a little more done on the cage but iv been busy with a custom subframe and oil pan for a guys e30 m3 with an s54 engine. Ill post some new pics tomorrow if I work on the 240 some more

sickrbs14 · 10-23-2010, 04:34 PM

this cars gonna be fucking sick next update take a fuck ton of pics

Tiny_T · 10-25-2010, 08:40 AM

Still waiting on my damn tubes to get bent, but I worked on a few more things..

ETHANOLED SR · 10-25-2010, 09:46 AM

Damn! Talk about garage fab. work! Good stuff! I'd like to see the end total weight and corner balance results more than anything!

I plan on doing that when I get it into a roller soon.

onehundredoctane · 10-25-2010, 10:07 AM

if I had the means to do that much chop/cutting/fab I would've done that on my RHD S13 project (that is on the back burner now). Give us an update when you get some more work done man!

S14DRFTX · 10-25-2010, 10:43 AM
