Alright, I've been contemplating doing a build thread for a while, and figured why not.
The car is a 1993 240SX Vert. I bought the car from a private seller while I was still stationed in Afghanistan. When I got home in May (09), I started building the vert in the hopes that someday it might be as nice as some of the other ones on this forum.
At the same time I bought the Vert, I bought an SR20DET motorset from a mechanic friend. He sold me the SR along with a bunch of other goodies, such as a T3/T4 turbo. Everything is cleaned, polished and ready to go into the car in the next two weeks. Since I have gotten the car, I have done the suspension work and the 5-lug/brake swap. The platform is set for the SR.
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for...the spec list and pictures:
