Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[pflicht]

Finally got around to watching those videos, freaking sweet man! Love em!

[idahotuner]

thanks guys. for the input on the brakes.

i will be keeping the stock 240 rear brakes maybe just getting new pads and rotors and ss brake lines but that is it for the rear.

i really want ot drive the car. i am excited because the school i am going to next year has an on campus car club. plus other car meets in the area. it will be cool. there was a lowered pignose hatch. with tinted tail lights. had a stock ka though.

I might be picking up a 1973 240z for cheap. like possible just the gas to drive down and pick it up. i have pics of it i will upload later. it is super clean. ok it isnt super clean but it is in really good shape.figure bring it home and **** tarp over it and save it for an rb25det swap. or possible a small block.

my automotive teacher is going be really cool. i just mentioned my car and he started talking about the sr20 which was cool he knows his ****.

well long day time for home work.

[Slideways^Jordan]

nice lol.

[White Comet]

sounds nice, i hope ya get the z. theres a local guy with an sbc swapped 240z

[idahotuner]

well my boost controller comes intoday and i think tomorrow i will order my calipers, i still havent recieved my water adapter for the temp sensor.. kinda pissing me off. i thinking custom steel is kidna a rip off.

[CRyan]

i will make a video. i could have today. just didnt think about it. tomorrow i will post a new one.

MY cam timing id dead on man. this is ntoa cam issue haha. i have had my share of those. this is just one little bug i got ot work out.

im sorry man. . you know what bugs me is when people are all talk about stuff and never do it.sure dreams are good. but what is the point of having dreams if we dont work towards them.

last year in high school my whole 2nd semester was spent planing out this build. that was before i even got the car.

another thing i hate is when people start builds and never finish them. half assed projects and half done ones piss me off. it is just part of being to lazy.

money pwn's me. . .

[idahotuner]

pics will come when i get off work.

[brizanden]

money pwn's me. . .

[idahotuner]

Got my avc-r Wednesdays YAY for instructions in englishinstalling it should be pretty easy.this is how it will be set up.kinda faked up how my gauges will be on the a pillerit be nice if they made a white face for the JDM clustersomething cool i found.i have a kick panel light o nthe passenger side it just wasnt hooked up. so i hooked it up and it worked.

[White Comet]

Correct but only the later model s13s. No lights for the pignose chassis SE's. I have to hard wire mine to the door triggers lol.

[addisonblck]

[idahotuner]

My 89 Coupe came with the Kick panel light and the original owner definetally wouldn't have been capable of making it work, so I'm pretty sure it's factory

[sbird1]

^ x2.

Mine doesn't work, but it's there... on an '89.

[idahotuner]

well i ma happy for the kick panel. it is just a cool little thing. found a cool cover for my gauges, but it has more the style of the phantom 2 gauges. but hey at least it is white.

[Kalypso]

Dang I didn't know that, thanks for clearing my head. Why didnt I get any on my '90 chassis ?

Maybe you guys have LE models? coupes?

[idahotuner]

today is more body work hopefully get both the front fender's body work done and get them mounted. that be awesome. and if we do that might be able to get the hood mounted for good too.

pics coming later this evening.

[sbird1]

Both of us have '89 SE coupes.

[idahotuner]

as promised here is an update.started the day out figuring out how the wheels would look compared to the fenders when they were jack up in the same spot the will be when the car is off jack stands.here is the frontand the reardo you guys think this wheels stick out to far? i really dont want flares or wide fenders that are fiberglass.

my front tires are so tall that they hit this lip. in side the wheel well when i turned my stearing wheel.so i pounded it over. now i have about 10mm of clearance. which is plenty.

i sanded the underside of the hoodthen my dad sprayed some ruberized under coating to hide some places he had to bang dents out.then he painted it

got alot of body work done. front passenger side fender in primer still needs a little work. and undercoating spray under it.

the rear deck just need sanded a little more to get a few imperfections out.

and we got the front bumper screwed on to check fitment. as well as started working on the other front fender. rolled the inner lip on it and did some bondoing.i need to get a GTR grill still.the hood is just sitting there cause i need to shorten my intake pipe even more because the filter sticks up and hits the hood.but over all it is coming together.

Its looking real good man, makes e realize how glad I am to have finished that part of my car, I hate body work. Now I need to get mine to run again.

[Didderson]

Lookin great man. Good fitment.

[White Comet]

maybe with a nice pull and camber you can pull off teh wheels but regardless its looking good

Dang I didn't know that, thanks for clearing my head. Why didnt I get any on my '90 chassis ?

Maybe you guys have LE models? coupes?
