Never made a build thread in 3 years, so here I go!

[lilpiton]

Hey there guys. i started my project 240/s15 about 3 years ago and i realired that i never made a bould threat.so here i go. There was alot of problems that i run in to but i got it to run and im loving it with all my heart lol.

this is stil when i had my KA in there.now the new SR is in, but the sad part is the its gonna be out again lol.

at this point i didnt really have and thing like the intercooler or downpipe or intake, not even the redone harness. oh and then i found out that in order to use the 6 speed i would need the s15 rear end so i sold the 6 speed and got my hands on a 5 speed.so i sent out the harness, while i waited i took the motor out took the transmission of the sold it bought the 5 speed. the harness came and i went from there.

thats when i took out the motor and started to take the 6 speed of

so the 5 speed arrived!i put the stage 2 exedy clutch in.so did some of the good stuff lol downpipe intake, intercooler,koyo elec fans. the battery was put in the trunk.the motor was ready to go in. once the motor was in with the 5 speed i sterted to put an the good stuff. so i put the FMIC on and F**C we got a problem... since my car is s13 and im using s15 motor there wasnt a intercooler kit that will make the cold pipe go onto the throttle body since the s13 got a bottom one.i talked to HKS and they said they dont make kits like that and that im going to have to make the cold pipe custom! So i couldent just stop my project, but i have couple more problems, like the bottom harness i wasnt told to send out with the top and it wasnt redone, thank god it wasnt hard and did it with this kid i met that moved to chi from FL.I had not clue what this lil bot atached the the ECU was, but at the end found out it wasnt needed.So i got all the things done but the cold and hot pipe. Im about to see if it cranks, i got in there and turned the key and nothing!!! i was like i realized that i had not power the the foul pump and no ignition signal was send to the starter.



so i had no other choice but the take it to the shop where they did my piping and they fixed the problem.here are the pipes they did for me, they werent chrome of cours but thats after they were chromed out.I got the car home but didnt drive it cause i was missing a shifter and BOV.got those in and wrrrrum the lovely SR started with no problem!!!

thats was how i got my SR to run but after about 4 months something not good happened lol but that ill go over in a lil bit...

Yea i plan on getting some stance GR+pro but not very soon, gotta get a job first cause just got fired, and wheel wise didnt decide yet but ofcourse my baby needs some new shoes lol. But bepore i but the wheels i wanne get 5 log. idk if i should get the z32 brakes, cause the car already came with 1985 300zx brakes and they break pretty nice.

Thank for the complement, i get that alot.

[maj Andres]

Never heard of Z31 brakes on 240's

[duffman1278]

Nice mini build.

btw did you paint the manifold after it was sand blasted?

[lilpiton]

Yea when it came to changing the pads, i just bought them for a 240, got home and im like , so i took the old pads to auto zone and had to search most of the nissans for the right one, it took me and my friend that worked there a while to find out that it from an 85 z lol.

Nice mini build.

btw did you paint the manifold after it was sand blasted?

no i didnt, i just polished it a lil bit, that was done by hand not no polishing drill.

[tEknoS13]

[s13gebala]

that sucks about that piston... right when chicago gets better weather

[lilpiton]

it kinda took me a while to buy all the parts. So since the transmission was grinding 3rd and i had my old KA transmission which the gears went it nice i swaped the internals.this is the SR transmission. IDK that to do with it, its just sitting like tis till today lol. eventually i will maybe rebuild it.All done

[mRodiek]

wow never seen someone bump there build thread

Ive seen people do it, check out the first couple pages of Idahotuner, and his build it NUTS! lol

Thats not fair though man now your definately gonna have a faster car than mine...I like your wheels though, selling them? I might take them off your hands and paint em black

[placham]

Where in Chicago u at?? If I see u I'll holler at'cha .I might be rollin' the streets mid March or sooner. When ever weather gets better, too cold right now.

By the way like the S15 Sr20, car is clean, good to see that your working on your car by your self. Your engine bay makes my engine bay look like a tornado went through. Got to clean up my wiring

How much did that HKS intercooler set you back if u dont mind?, I might have to upgrade soon.

Keep it up
