So, I have a project page around here somewhere but I never posted anything during the project itself. So, I decided to post up some pictures of the finished product. Rants, suggestions, observations would most definetly be welcomed.

All type x pieces except for the front bumper are NEW OEM NISSAN pieces. Cosmetically I think the car is finished, maybe a rear D MAX window visor would be added but not certain. Also, I bet you all noticed I have the 240sx "starter package" as the "other" forum members call it. Type x kit, sr20det, and MB Battle wheels, whatever I love the way it came out and wouldn't changed anything on it, BUT I'm opened to opinions :-)

Since the last time I posted on my build thread, the car has gone through dramatic changes. Went from silvia front to type x, full z32 brake swap, z32 vlsd, lots of suspension goodies, new bushings everywhere, turbo upgraded to gt2871r, HKS 256/256 cams, and all new setup supporting mods. I am done with the project, for now. Time to enjoy it and stand live up to the hype as I am the only 240 guy around my neck of the woods which are infested by half a** Hondas.

Looks great, tasteful and classy.

One suggestion: Get rid of those ice machine hoses in the engine bay. :biggrin:

Car looks good overall. I'm not a fan of stretched tires, but those aren't too bad. Pay attention to those clear catch can hoses. I had them back in the day, and they melt or get brittle pretty easy. Also, I'd put an air oil seperator between the block and valve cover T if you don't want oil film going into the intake. The type X kit looks super clean, if I ever buy a fastback, that's the way I'd do it!

Yea these are 235/40 tires so the stretch is minimal. I actually got some new Federal tires the same size and they run a whole to wider, so now they look rather squared. Yea I'll do something about the hoses they bother me too. Oil separator huh? I'll look into that. Thanks on the compliments type x is the way to go :-)

Yea its like a Uras knock off I guess. I got it rather cheap at TF and had a body shop mold it and make it functional. Thanks I think it looks good too.

Now awaiting to get my coils so I can mount my RG2s and get a 4 wheel alignment. Doing big things this summer!!! Also want an OE type x bumper :-)

Picking them up tomorrow at Touge Factory!! So excited to install these.

93240guy, how are they really? Bouncy, stiff, soft? At first I was leaning towards PBM coils but after extensive research I found they are TOO stiff/bouncy for daily.

Thanks man. I actually have been thinking of a cage or that rear Safety 21 for the hatch only. $700 is kinda steep though, besides my car is a daily driver. That being said, it be somewhat worthless and there's always ***holes that will call you a poser for not drifting...
