Firast off i didnt say anything bashing lonismo i like his build and i didnt talk s*** i said in my opinion and if youd re-read my message i said to each is ones own opinion MINE dont matter and like i said in my message people can do what they want!!!! jesus i didnt say anything harsh

[Hoffman5982]

WEll your opinion says a lot about your character

Lonismo-good luck on the fire up. Hopefully you'll have better luck than Im having

[kouki munster]

I know that you didn't bash him, I just said that your comments made you look just as bad as everyone that has been bashing him.

Lonismo sorry about the thread jack, and post a video when you get it fired up, I love the sound that an rb makes.

[Dano]

C'mon guys... j_d, let this be a warning that your trolling, don't do it again.

Everyone else, leave the troll alone and let us deal with it.

Sweet build, I like the updates, waiting for more

[troskinatior]

there is no reason to rebuild the rb cause its 20 years old.

I remeber lonismos telling someone that he was stupid because he didnt rebuild his 20+ year old rb then right after that he got one

And I honestly didnt care, and dont care if I get banned. Infact I rember hitman telling you that you were annoying and if you s*** on anyones thead again he was going to ban you.

[Lonismos14]

So i am back and with the project about 50% done. The swap was a success, the 20 has really good compression and pulls up top like crazy!!! The next thing im saving for is getting this thing painted. I talked to my painter about two days ago and we have an appointment for the end of july. During that time i will be saving for shock/spring combo and some xxr526, through my job i only have to pay 600 for them.

[Lonismos14]

Well heres the pics.

[Lonismos14]

And this is what i done today.








Project Sleeper is now in affect.

well nico hope yall enjoy.

[S13AL]

Nice, clean, and definitely on the Down Low

[terry_240sx]

thats def. going to look sleeper
why didn't you just paint all the piping black to match though?

[Lonismos14]

Thanks for the comments . And to answer your question i wanted under tha hood just tostand out and look real clean,and outside to look stock as possible.

[TheRealNap0le0n]

nice progress.. lol my rb25 is still sitting in the garage.. im brokeeee haha but glad to see you are still at it

[OutToWinPAHC]

Guys tone it down, the aggression here is unwarranted. The build looks good, it's been a while since I have checked into it.

My thoughts on a rebuild. No necessary to rebuild (bottom and full top end), if there is nothing wront with the motor, and it has health compression. However things I would do to any motor that sits is waterpump, thermostat, belts, timing belt(s), injector O - Rings, Injector cleaning, front and rear seals while you have access to them, and an oil pan gasket with cleaning of the pick up and windage tray. By far not a rebuild at all, but if your not sure it's good to know these items are done.

[Lonismos14]

Thanks guys. So OTW does this mean i classify for the build threads page? And give me a new title i trust your judgement. . So i had some more time to work on the car today here is pics of me mocking up and mounting the front bumper.





And here is the final result..







My mom said wow it actually looks like a car now.

Well next week will be cleaning up the wires in the engine bay and cleaning up the interior.

[mastakilla08]

Congrats man! now go crack a beer and celebrate ! way to stay persistant and make a clean build looks good!

[terry_240sx]

i wanted under tha hood just tostand out and look real clean,and outside to look stock as possible.

that's understandable.

the bumper and lip look great!
do you have any plans for any other aero?

[Lonismos14]

Well i was going to go with the r33 kit from ED. But i have recently fell in love with the oem look. I have been looking at some vortex generators, clear covers for the headlights, and xxr 526. And paint of course.

[Razi]

Just do this!

521s don't have the funky convex face thing going on.

Then put on some OEM skirts + valence if you're bored.

[Yellow4g63]

Get another bumper that has the grill, you can hide the intercooler better with it. Mine is hidden pretty good except for the clamp.

[Lonismos14]

Thanks razi. To be honest i think that car is really clean but i have been looking at the sizes and threw my xxr catalog at my job(oreilly auto parts) they list the 521 as fwd. i think they were either 16 by 7 or 17 by 7 with really high offsets, the 526 are on back order till like august. I may just wait, or go with the 522 concaved wheels.

Yellow i have been looking for an complete bumper, the dealer wants 250 even with my discount and no luck at any junkyards here.

[gaehrings13]

521 xxr are not only fwd... go to www.nlmotoring.com and you will find the correct sizes and offsets. they come in +25 just check that site for all the sizes.

Is that a rb20 or a rb25? I'm confused because that's a rb20 transmission.

[Yellow4g63]

That's a RB20. 25 has a hump on the intake side for the VCT.

[Lonismos14]

So i finally got a chance to work on the 240 for the last couple of days. tightened up the engine a little bit and fixed my power steering leaks. heres some pics.










Well nico i will be back later to post some videos.

[Lonismos14]

Isis dual n1 exhaust
Exhaust manifold stud kit
Finish my z32 brake upgade
Moog lower ball joints

[mindovaanything]

[Lonismos14]

So i had the past couple of days off so i cleaned up the interior and installed my new bumper and took some pics.
