Az Project 240

[Ryoga4523]

To make a long story short, my brother and I purchased an RB25DET and the garage we purchased it from gave us an 89 240sx. And we got an S13 front end to turn the 240 into a Sileighty

This is just the beginning stage of our project.

Here is the front clip of an R33



The RB pulled out of the clip



One of the 240sx engine bay painted



S13 front lights and cluster from the R33. Needed the tach on it.

Would lov too see this one finished

[Ryoga4523]

It should be running by next weekend (the shop is just waiting for some parts) and it will have a bodykit and fully painted by the beginning of January. It will be considerably ugly until then, but it will be a beast >_< The garage owner has a friend who is going to sell me 3 Volk SF challenge rims. 18x9 front and 18x10 rear

He only has 3 because the 4th was damaged beyond repair. One's loss is another's gain

[duffman1278]

Very niice, me likes

[sommmatt]

wtf rims. That's sweet though the car looks like it's in really good shape, should be an awesome candidate for the swap!

[Ryoga4523]

Here are some more pictures.



Random RB engine parts

[turbo_dreams]

they just GAVE you the shell?

[Ryoga4523]

Yup, he told me that if I was going to do the swap right, he would give me the shell.

I couldn't just pass that up

[AZhitman]

...and THAT'S how we roll in the desert.

F*** Cali-style, we build 'em right in the 602.

[skydragoness]

Jesus christ, i had to put sunglasses on to view the engine bay pics w/ the fresh paint. Very sweet deal.

[AeonTorpor]

That's outside of Soccer Locker! That's pretty badass, haha.

[Ryoga4523]

Lol... yeah it is. How did you know?That shop has done a good job this far, I will let you know if the awesomeness continues in January, when I get the body kit and wide body fenders and then get it painted.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Any and all contructive criticism is welcomed. More pics to come

[S13Teddy]

[Felipe]

Cupon only valid in AZ. Good thru 12/31/07

[sommmatt]

Lol... yeah it is. How did you know?

Because you can read "ccer Locker" on the sign, is my first guess.

[boriquaS13]

All I can say is wow, thats pretty sweet can't wait to see the finished product.

[Ryoga4523]

Oh... I did not zoom in on the pic.

[AeonTorpor]

Because you can read "ccer Locker" on the sign, is my first guess.

Actually, i didn't even notice that. It was the yellow piliars w/ the chains. I was like, "hey, i know where that is!" Searched google for like 3 minutes for that Audio place in the background... Then my dumb self saw the ccer locker. . But i didn't realize there was a shop right around there.

[koukiguy13]

I know that area too. Guessing by the pic, I think the shop is called Grand Prix or something. Ryoga, you bought the RB from them?

[Sthriteen]

they just GAVE you the shell?

i think it was a buy one get on free.... you buy and rb25 and get the car free .... sweeeettttt.....

[s14driver]

[srpowered240sx]

...and THAT'S how we roll in the desert.

F*** Cali-style, we build 'em right in the 602.

[Encryptshun]

^That's what I was thinkin'. Vert + bald + desert sun = "NiCO, pulEEZE"

[AZhitman]

LOL - I'm multicultural, y'all.

[Ryoga4523]

No, Grand Prix is where the engine bay was painted.

[Ryoga4523]

Just a quick question (and I tried searching but could not find anything on it):

Do the 300Z or 350Z seats fit into the 240?

Thanks
