It looks so beautiful on the inside!

I am so glad you went with the JDM seat belt conversion and JDM headliner! ! ! !

I love it! I actually smiled when i saw it!

With the way it looks, feels and works. DO you think it was money well spent? ( i thought it was) And the Oh shizzz handle is nice as well! It is going to be very convenient when we are low low low ^^

Sorry i have not had any updates but after seeing you do the under coating, I think i can save a few pennies to get that out of the way at least!

Looking good bro, I am loving it!

One Love,

Ghasty

but i havent had a chance to address my fuel issue since didderson has had his car in my garage.

its all good he should be finished in the next visit

i found my fuel leak, unfortunately its both of the hard lines that are corroded near the back of the car that is the source of the leak, so im going to have to replace the lines.

ill probably have an update tomorrow when i get the car back on jack stands

so i checked over my rubber lines and didnt appear to have any cracks. well here was the problem. Water got into the clamps of the hard lines and rusted them out up in the subframe region.

a total pain in the dick.

so i looked around a bit at different options, but had a time restraint because my winter daily beater (the cressida) is overheating probably due to a bad waterpump.

i went to NAPA auto parts and bought 4 5ft pieces of brake line that was 5/16th diameter.

bought a cheapo tube bender, and a flaring tool and went to town.

now what you need the flaring tool for is to cut a tiny section of the end off to remove the brass fittings that you would use for the brake line.

unfortunately i had to use two pieces with a small section of soft line connecting the two under the car. I didnt think about it at the time, but i shouldve just cut the section that was rotted and made a small section from what was bad.

the tubes are not exact so remounting it was a b****. It is a bit crooked but securely mounted. i think ill take some measurements next winter and try and make more exact bends.

replaced the fuel pump, and all the rubber lines and have ZERO leaks and no smell

here is the undercarriage that ya'll never got to see finished.

all i need now is to tighten the koni's more since im rubbing tire (its a 60 series tire so next time ill get a shorter sidewall) and a realignment.

then some paint touch ups, wash and wax; and im ready for a great summer

this is the end of the first stage of my build, next winter if money allows ill do a swap and more rust repair in the bay. I probably will update with some cruise and meet pics throughout the summer

thanks for the support nico and enjoy the gorgeous summer weather

Looking forward to the BBQ!

BBQ...where?

and who did I see in the gold coupe with the funky decal on the hood?

i decided against an SR swap. i recently picked up an s12 hatch that im building now (almost halfway done) and then i got big plans for the 240 when im done.

don't want to reveal them just yet but this thread is far from dead/ over its just been on a summer break

good luck if you use them, i know there's elite JDM in philly who are good sellers so i hope something works out for you

cheers and welcome to NICO

the 240 is officially off the road for now.

the KA will come out to go in its new home (the s12) and the rust repair can begin on the engine bay.

after that is taken care of (probably by winter/ early spring and if money is good ill unveil my plan to all of nico and not just the local guys.

so here she is as she sits

KA ready to come out soon

and the rust

id rather repair the car than scrap it and find another shell

its not gone just sleeping i got big goals for it; new installment will begin mid winter/ early spring

thats not gonna stand up in court

long block is already in my possession

turbo head/ rebuild/ holset / standalone comming early spring

whats the question?

just post it up here

i dont see they point in sending an email if its an appropriate question

i have not worked on this for a while; tore out the KAe to put in my s12 so i can finish some rust repair in the bay probably in the spring;

hoping to get this on the engine stand over winter and am currently stockpiling parts

newest addition: p90 head

till later this winter

cheers

Mmmm ratsun 6 goodness. I can't wait to hear this b**** run.

damn driftboy get w the program

I dont know enough about that motor to comment, so I keep it to myself! lol More pics of the motor & details about it?

Going to sound so sick... just balls to the wall man I have to stop thinking about it. But srsly, classic engine in a sweet suspension geometry car... win.

the l series is found in the z's untill the 300zx's came out and are all fundementally the same, with different stroke, bore and heads respectively

im building a hybrid motor with an earlier block and this turbo P90 head. shooting for 300ish HP w a holset turbo and stand alone to start.

the stock turbo was rated at 180 on a mild 6 or 7 non intercooled.

i already had the block, found this and was like screw it im gonna do somethin a bit different

Too bad both of us barely have any time to get our cars completed.
