Hey everyone, just picked up my first 240, a 1990 s13 with 2 previous owners, although they must have been kinda hard on her haha. Car is originally from Virginia and has no rust at all (something unheard of in my area.) Traded my 1974 Datsun 620 project for it and seems I got a pretty good deal on it. Came with D2 coils, enjuke er spec 10 point cage, nrg suede wheel with quick release, spl titanium arms, 5 lug conversion and quite a bit more.

Was thinking about an RB swap but since it came with ls1 mounts and I had an aluminum 5.3 sitting around I'm going to be going that route.

Some pics

Bolted down the fenders and set the hood on just so they wouldn't be in the way

Image

Interior is gutted waiting on installing the cage. Dash is just sitting in there in this pic

Image

Tearing into the 5.3 here, it's getting full forged internals, cam, rockers, and some head work to start

Image

Why the forged internals? Because of this

Image

Garage is pretty full at the moment

Image

Those of you with keen eyes might notice the stripped Sr20 on the stand in the background, and if you're really looking might notice the sr20ve on the floor beside it. That hybrid is going in my other car

Image

It used to have a bored and stroked 11:1 fully built l series but that thing was a bastard on the street. Full suspension and driveline has already been done on it, pretty much ever nut and bolt besides cosmetics haha.

Did some more small stuff, decided to throw the bumper and lights on just to make me feel like theres some actual progress on the go.

Image

Also got ahold of a front sump pan and notched crossmember

Image

Glitter because why not

Image

Want to get the cage put in soon but not looking forward to that bill lol

Anyway glad to be apart of the forum and look forward to learning lots

Damn that is one hell of a first post! Looks like you've got quite the project ahead of you, but it also looks bad a**!
Can't wait for updates.
Digging the straight Molson Canadian too. I haven't had one of those in years.

Congrats on finding a rust-free chassis .. definitely not the easiest feat anymore! Looking forward to your progress, looks like this will be a beast once it's running.
