F_uck what i said about swapping subframes. i forgot i bought my truck for winter. Gunna build up the KA with the parts ive been collecting and do some much needed maintance to this 220k beast.
'89 Shell: Pulled the motorset and began ripping everything outta the bay to clean up/maybe paint/ but in general swap entire wire harness's for the auto sohc -> 5spd kadet.
Went from this
To this in 20 minutes:

The ONLY rust on the car. and i have a piece to replace it already.
Pics of the car.. Dont you love it when people hack this s***? Out of 7 240's ive owned NONE of them came with stock plugs/radio. BS!
This is what won me over... Fully intact not dry out crack ORIG sunroof seal GTFO! AND car came with Sunroof bag!!!And just incase no one caught that:
With this new shell over the winter i want to:
~Energy subframe bushings front/rear~Both subframes bead blasted and painted~Fix that one spot of rust~Swap over the silvia front seats and rear suede seats~Leave the carpet. its black and that 89-90 may look like astro turf but durable as hell~Dohc swap with dohc front subframe.
Motor:Getting rebuilt. right now it has bc stage2 cams/370cc/secondary butterfly delete/Coolent bypass on TB/11lb flywheel etc. Over the winter:~Front/rear seals. Headgasket..etc. ~BC vavles and retainers~Port and polish head~Block maybe checked and treated~CP pistons/idk on connecting rods/stock crank.. etc. ~Subie Injecters i think there 615cc?~looking at a Xcessive intake mani.~Q45 maf or reading up on MAF to MAP~ Other little things i cant think of right now.
Turbo Kit:Looking for 275-300 thats it. i already have FRsport top mount mani as well as a ebay one thats forsaleT3/4 turbz, external wastegate w/15lb spring, i need: SR20 interfooler pipping, Greddy Type RS BOV, oil lines.
Tune:Either nistune or megasquirt.
Suspension:~Megan track coilovers (have)~PBM everything hahaha have most of it priced out. just gotta make that money!Nismo Power brace (on order )Full subframe bushing kit. Solid motor mounts
Drivetrain: 5spd with BRM short Shift (have)R32 skyline VLSD. (have)
