project sheila: build thread.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Ok, so I've been lurking this forum for a good amount of time and I decided to make an account and create my build thread. Oh and yes, I named her sheila

The cars a 1991 240sx. It's a 2 owner( including me) car. The owner kept it in his garage and it's pretty much mint. Here are some pictures:

Since it's my DD it's not going to have to many insane mods. I already ordered my wheels and suspension. Rota D2 17x8.5 and D2 coils. I'll have those on this weekend and pictures will be diffidently updated.

Looks pretty clean. What are your plans after wheels and coils?

[TroubleBound]

Super clean ride bro can't wait to see it on wheels/coils.

Did that yellow pinstripe come like that from the factory? It looks silly.

Nice car. Welcome to Nico.

Nice car. Welcome to Nico.

That pinstripe isnt factory. Owned 3 s13s, one in that exact color (which my sister now owns).

Very clean car, was this a repaint? The black tape line (which is factory) looks like it was redone black.

[Coeur de lion]

Wow..very clean looking coupe! Good luck with doing it your way!

i think pinstripes were a dealer thing.

Really? How do you mean?

[KAbezon]

Dealerships hire pinstrippers to pinstripe cars when they come in, usually upon customer request. I know here at the dealership I work at they charge quite a bit for it, and I get people all the time asking how to remove them, lol

[Dittie Doughnuts]

The OG owner had it repainted about 5 years ago factory color, he added the pin stripe then. Oh yeah, pics of coils and wheels will be on in a hour.

They are Rota D2, knock off work meisters. They shouldn't run over 1,000 bucks.

Guys I need your help on this... when I bought the car the owner said something about a barring spacer that Nissan said you don't need so I did some research and that's the problem....WELLLLL today when I cranked it it had that horrible high pitched screeching noise like a belt. I though when it warms up a little it would go away, it didn't. It's a mix of a screeching and a rattle noise and when i turn left and right it is extremely loud. the power steering is funky now also. Has anyone ran into this problem?????

[S13k]

yea i have this problem right now, when i turn on my a/c and my headlights. the problem for you is there might be oil leaking on the pulley/belt or one of your pulley's are going bad. also under tightened and over tightened belts causing no grip or to much grip.

[Dill_XD]

Wow off to quite a start. Nice and clean. By the way, do you guys actually shake your heads when you say Hickory?John Reep is the man.

That makes sense, I have a little oil leak. But should it be making that noise the whole time I'm driving? And whats up with my steering, it seems that it's loosing it's fluid but it has fluid..

Welcome! I saw your thread title and it made me think back to this line:

Thurgood: "Sampson, this Sheila. Momma fell....

Sampson: "Shut up bish!"



Super clean coupe. Good luck!
