New Guy Intro - 56K killer

[houdini]

What’s up guys and gals. Found this website looking for information on my 1993 240sx Convertible. I have been a Nissan guy for a few years and have spent most of my time working on my 2001 Frontier CC. I am a member of the Nissan Offroad Association of the Southeast.

I was about to sell my 240 back in April, but raising gas prices and the convenience of driving a vehicle not sitting on 33” muds proved to tempting and I have decided to keep the 240.

Anyway, I look forward to learning a little about my 240 and finding some ways to cheaply (the truck is the money pit) boost performance and handling.

Few pics below....enjoy!

Yea, the vert is excellent shape. Been garaged since 95 and stored for the past 2 years. Just washed it this morning and man it needs a wax!

Glad you like the truck also! That's my pride and joy.

[brisknfade]

Decal says Limited Edition. See those decal's all the time on verts.

I LOVE the Frontier. You need to check out AZHitman's (our CEO) 'vert from hell. I would say it started almost exactly like yours.

Nice vids. Is the engine stock?

the engine is pretty much stock. intake, exhaust, and got rid of the belt driven clutch fan. it runs pretty good. especially in low gear!

where's Desert Rat and Big Bird to see this...

[NSR_s30]

Welcome to the club. Awesome truck! What all is done to it?

[houdini]

Welcome to the club. Awesome truck! What all is done to it?

to start it was a 2001 CC 2wd. installed a 3"body lift, front 3" suspension lift with upgraded steering and stabilizer. the rear has 1.5" lift shackles and ~5" lift springs. skids front to back. custom front and rear bumper, sliders. custom rear bed mount tire carrier and utility rack. intake, exhaust, duel e-fans, cb, extended shocks, stainless brake lines, etc. it was converted to 4wd with parts from a donor 2004 xterra summer 2006. new brakes, new gears. swapped in 4.9s. upgraded front hubs. rear air locker from ARB.

i run 33x12.50-15 tires on 15x8 rims. either goodyear mt/r's or procomp xterrains.

it is a lot of fun to drive!

[audtatious]

gas saving tip #1: don't leave you car idling when you are taking pictures of it. you are getting zero miles per gallon.

btw, welcome to nico!!!!

[AZhitman]

Holy crap!!!

Welcome aboard, houdini!

Glad to have you here, let us know if there's anything we can do for ya.

Both vehicles look GREAT, and judging from the vids, you'll fit RIGHT in!
