Finally got my 240!! (56k hmm, idk)

[NismoDriver240]

finally scooped up a running shell for $650. it's a 93 with pig-nose and only 106k. Needs some work, interior was stripped, dash is uncracked and I'm re-carpeting the whole thing (write-up or something if it goes well) it needs new tires and heater core. looks like the kid did some last minute driftzz yo!! I plan on a red-top swap very soon, like next month

anywho... pics:

i dont spy a pignose lip.

props on the pignose bumper though.

[NismoDriver240]

wow i'm dumb haha... edited!!

[tramp_drift240]

is this the 'project eBay' thing?

if so, im assuming that means youre only gonna buy stuff from ebay. which would be very interesting.

[NismoDriver240]

yea the only stuff for the swap i'm not getting from ebay is the shell and engine. i figure if anyone has any wonders about dependability of ebay i'll test it

[elcruzmissle]

so youve got my interest on this project ebay... thats for sure. does that mean your goin for the cheapest thing runnin? and is it engine upgrades only or are we talkin suspension parts too?? this is gonna be classic when its done, im gonna assume its gonna be a while though

[xrider252]

nice car, she almost rust free, u should finish where i left off. u need to cover that car, that the first time she got rain on in 2 years, keep me update i want to see what happen to my old car

[Priceless89]

Nice! looks clean, rust-free, congrats on getting the car. I just got mine too, though mine has major rust on the front member. I'm not to thrilled about it

[xrider252]

it not rust free, there rust on the driver side wheel well, the body rust free thxs to me and my dad. it just need to be color match

hey man, nice to see some fellow bostonian 240 members on here! are u interested in joining a car club? if so, email me at [email protected]

nice car, i dnt know if ebay will be the best thing to do but hey, lifes about trying new things right?

what part of Boston u from? im from braintree and i go to umass amherst.

[r34 gtr]

You can make one sick car using just eBay. You may have to wait for stuff to pop up, but it shouldn't be hard. Ive probably gotten 2/3 or the stuff on my car off eBay, and its all top notch.

[Kristine]

ooooh snap, project Ebay.

that's gonna be exciting

hey im down is there room, check out my car forum

[sittinsideways76]

OBX helical lsd, you should try it out and let us know

[NismoDriver240]

yes!! thanks to xrider232 for the sale

as for project eBay...I'm putting in an sr20 and I thought to myself what parts to get. so far i have my eyes set on:

- front mount inter cooler- cat back exhaust- 3 gauge pod with gauges... glowshift i think- hub & steering wheel

as for the lsd i'll proly get that too, but right now im just shooting for the basics to get it running, then when I come home on weekends from school i'll do a little work on it (the lsd, suspension). i guess i'm doing this because i've seen a ton of "eBay??!?!?!" threads so i';ll put it all to test, hell, i'll probably try coilovers haha... $50 shipped... i'll be the guinea pighttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

[tramp_drift240]

nooooooo

dont use slip-over coils.

you just put those on a strut or something, im pretty sure. i mean i guess you could, but i have a feeling itd be a bad idea. haha

[nissan~240sx]

hey im down is there room, check out my car forum

yea there is room, the club just started, WE NEED MEMEERS!

email me for details

[NismoDriver240]

email me for details

you've got mail!!

woo! post 500!!

nooooooo

hmmm... well this is the test of it... but idk if i wanna risk it on something like that. but... well, eh idk i'll decide when the time comes, I'll make a new whole thread, leave it open to suggestions lol, somehting like

afraid you'll die if you install a crap-shoot part? what is it? i'll test it

not really but you get my drift

[BMAR240SX]

You are seriously going to put your money on the line to just test stuff?

[NismoDriver240]

well kinda, but not really. i know cat back will be fine, and intercooler will be ok. the real "test" will be coilovers, which is only a possibility, as i said idk if i'm gunna go THAT far. whatever anyone throws at me will be considered, if it sounds good and i trust it, i'll give it a shot. eBay is quite cheap, and in college i have nothing to spend money on so the little stuff costs it's not really "on the line"

[thefro526]

I hope that you have some success with Ebay parts. I was looking into getting some parts too. I really have like no cash to be wasting my money on an no one has any experience with half the stuff on Ebay. Thank you so much for posting up your experiences.

[meltdown187]

nice find. cant beat it for 650

[mrgreeneyes]

ebay suspension, brakes, or safety equipment is a huge NO. dont jeopardize your safety for a few dollars.

[NismoDriver240]

dont think im that stupid haha, the worst im going is a hub, cuz i've only heard a few bad tales... well one. suspension i've always wanted to try but it's a baddd feeling i get inside so i probly wont

again... that's exactly why i'm doing it. i planned on it anyways and when people ask what i got i'm gunna come straight out and say i made an eBay project.

i guess im doing it this way because i know if it breaks its just a couple bucks, then ill get the real deal. im not getting anything that if it breaks i die, like brakes. the only suspension im getting is sway bars.

[supradealz]

nice project. got a lot of work ahead of you

[spooled240]

nice find man your car looks really clean and untouched. As for the ebay project, I got a jump start on you lol...ebay turbo, manifold, fmic, and full exhaust goin for almost 1 year and only minor problems with exhaust hangers breaking(rewelded those mofos on good lol) I'm probably gonna get some skunk2 lowering springs soon.

I hope you have as good of luck as me with the ebay stuff, but I think you will be fine with the basics

[sldewyz]

i can 1^ u on the project ebay...ive gotten a ton of parts of ebay about 15..including hte rolling chassis itself for 127.50... and there not all offbrand things either i just didnt want to pay full retail on them at a shop here
