well i finally got a nice 240. its a 1991 se, 5 speed, has hicus which i will probably delete, motor was rebuilt at nissan dealership and it still has a warranty till february! its been repainted, and it has barely any rust which is amazing considering the year and its been up north forever. i paid 3k for it, not too bad for the condition. My first one i eventually sold to my brother before getting it running. while i was looking for parts for the first one i found the shell of the second one i had. i sold the other one to my brother and he fixed it up while i started my project. i had been workin on it for 2 years now and i had to sell it due to rust. i didnt have money to finish it or put it in another shell, so i sold it to have money to buy another daily driver. this is what i found so third 240=charm im nick-naming it project fresh, because its a fresh start in tuning.

mods to come:tein s tech springstenzo r wheels (17")battery relocateshort ram intakeelectric fannew hatch carpetracing seats (maybe gotta decide if i like the ones he gave me)nismo harnessesnew head unit/ speakersmomo shift knoboem spoilernightshaded turn signals/ rear middle lightsits already got a catback so i might get a high flow cat (still undecided)maybe short throw shifterlazy eyesall of ^ above will be done within a week

eventually motor swap (rb25) front end conversion (240z)full aero around shocks/struts or maybe coils

thats about it for now. now to the pichshas











































Project to be sold vs. new car





then me clownin w/ my car. glad to have a chuki

Looks clean man- but do me a favor and buy some black spray paint and finish off that hood and engine bay. That just pisses me off to see a paint job of different color and they don't bother with popping the hood, or open the doors and do it right!

its exciting that the dealer rebuilt the motor, very nice

you wont have to change much, but do advise against an aero kit, all it needs is the drop

Damn, lol I'm usually up there on the weekends but I decided to hang out with the muscle car guys this weekend. Right now I don't drive ****, mainly because the motor is in my garage awiating forged internals. In reference to the ka if it should happen to come out before you leave for PA i'll definately scoop it up. Always nice to have a spare lol

updates again...ill get pics latersony xplode speakers which sound 50 times better then the pos ones that were in there...got my s tech springs on there finallygot two of my tenzo r wheels back from powdercoatonly got two of my drilled rotors on due to rusty a** bolts in the front calipers, anybody got any advice on how to get out rusty bolts? i broke one in the back but was able to swap out the rear pad holder from my old project car, but i cant do that to the front because the pads are bigger, and i think its different because i have abs in this one(correct me if im wrong)

ill get pics up later.
