Thankyou for the kind words! OK here's the scoop: a bit long-winded so bear with me..
This is the car NISSAN should have sent us!!
The car pictured is the best parts of two cars put into one. The shell, gas tank, brake hard lines, steering column location, and dash are regular 240sx parts from model year 1991.
The front end bodywork, doors, power folding mirrors, hatch, 1/4panel glass, rear tails, garnish, bumper from 180sx model year 1992. The power windows have both an auto down and auto up function. <3
Also from 180sx are sr20det engine, all engine accessories/complete harness, transmission, driveshaft, vlsd, shafts, rear subframe, front crossmember, brakes, interior carpet, plastics, seats(driver side now S14 seat), seatbelts, gauge cluster, visors... every item that could be unbolted from a complete running 180sx was swapped, to include even the gas filler door. Power folding mirrors work great, but are offset for the RHD and a bit hard to see normally from LHD position. 180sx climate control is installed.
Updates include GP Sports GR6 coiloverHKS racing Ti exhaustBlitz fmicHKS ssqv with hotpipesafcII (pass emissions!)5zigen fno1r-c 17x8 +35215/45-17 toyo #4Energy Suspension master kitcusco fstb, cusco toe links, cusco t/c rodshicas swaysGoodridge SS lines...pignose front lip!HKS intake, Z32 maf
The reason I took the pics are because the wheels have come off in favor of some reconditioned S14 SE alloys and ATTAIN/Z32/S14 SE rotor five lug kit which went on this last weekend. For the new tire I chose 205/55-16 sticky Toyo RA1.
Koyo, T28, tomei pump, tomei 555injectors are next. (bought from Phase2 of course)
