Finished Project

[tEknoS13]

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.

[tEknoS13]

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.

Well its not unique IMO, but DAMN it looks good! Good job man!

[tEknoS13]

[SkyS13Walker]

HARD

[pepesilvia]

IMO, this is the only RIGHT way to do a hatch.

[tEknoS13]

I'm glad someone likes it lol, thanks dude

[danshaz82]

looks good! gonna be at automass?

[tEknoS13]

Thanks man.

When is it? I'm having driveability issues, I believe my timing is off. Made an appointment at Touge Factory for next Friday, hope all goes well.

[danshaz82]

its the 23rd 10am-6pm
hopefully it does. good luck

[tEknoS13]

Oh, got plenty of time. I'll try to make it, at least to look at peoples cars and have fun.

[tEknoS13]

Anybody install a Uras hood vent??

[breadbox]

no don't. It looks perfect up there. I hope you get your timing figured out. also I hope you have and alarm and cellphone in the dash as budget gps

Looks great, tasteful and classy.

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

eBay $13 for blue ones: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261092899852?ss ... 1439.l2649

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 :-)

[tEknoS13]

So I got a few new upgrades if you must. Vented hood "hood vent" lol, Stance coils, and new LEGIT Advanced RG2 wheels from Touge Factory!!! The guys at TF are super cool and local so I got an AMAZING deal on wheels and coils. Pictures of hood and wheels later

[tEknoS13]

Pics... Also broke down and powder coated my z32 calipers :-)

[alms24sebring]

Looks really freakin great if you ask me.

[tEknoS13]

Thank you sir

[danshaz82]

looks real good. hows the hood fitment? looks almost perfect from the pictures

[tEknoS13]

It better be good, its a OEM hood with Version Select hood vent molded into it. Came out great I think.

[danshaz82]

definitely! didnt know they did that tho. thats pretty cool

[tEknoS13]

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 :-)

[tEknoS13]

Coils are already purchased just waiting for TF to get their shipment in so I can pick them up.

[93240guy]

stance coils are awesome on the street...

Car look good!!!!!

[tEknoS13]

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.

nice clean hatch much respect plus it looks super sexy.... thinking of putting in a roll cage?

[tEknoS13]

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...
