my 1989 hatch

[sleepersilvia92]

Ive been on here long enough and this site has helped me out many many a time. so i figured i would post some pictures up of my current 240sxits an 89 hatch with 118000 miles has minimal rust but as a couple issues on the body.its an SE model and it came with the lip and sunroof,i even have the window sticker from the dealer, cost 17,599 in 1989. i am just doing minor things right now to insure its reliability.i drive this car every day its running stock boost right now with stock t25 but i plan on doing a 2871r setup in the near future. these are the minor mods that are done.

ENGINEFull 3 inch isis exhaustMegan turbo elbowHKS air filterAluminum radiatorMegan racing engine and transmission mountsFalcon 6 puck clutchIsis front mount intercooler and pipingTial bov

SUSPENSION Tien springs with gr-2Full energy bushingsFront and rear strut bars

EXTERIORall stock except for the kouki tail lightsand a stubby antennai also swapped SE wheels from my friends vert in place of the teardrops

other minor things but here are the pictures









interior is nothing special yet



and the engine bay finally







Well let me know what you guys think i am in the process of getting wheels for it then Silvia nose is next before all the body work and paint.i am planning on running a gt2871r, i have a exhaust mani already , and s4 cams waiting to go on but i am slowing going to accumulate all the parts for the setup and throw it all on and get a tune and i will see where i am. well i hope everyone likes it, it took me long enough to post pics. i will add pictures during the process of building up the car, and i will post some pictures of my previous 240's. i had a 93 coupe with a ka-t setup, and then swapped the ka with a rb25 swap, and my oldest 240 that just had a stock ka, and my s14 i will try to post all pictures. this is my new project its only been running a few months but i am happy with it. well thanks a lot, Nico has helped me many a time so here is my .2

very nice..is your engine bay sprayed with a bed liner?

[sleepersilvia92]

yes its a spray on bed liner its nice when your working on it, no worries about scratching the paint

[sleepersilvia92]

planning on installing a LSD rear into my car tomorrow i will take a bunch of pictures while i am doing it , if anyone cares

[sil80_chris]

Nice sleeper you got there...what kind of power is it pushing? good luck with the lsd rear install. Try to be thorough with the pics your gonna take.

[r34 gtr]

Nice car! The bed liner under the hood is pretty slick.

I love the look of a stock dropped Piggy.

Good work so far. Keep it up.

Looks good man, I really like the understated look. FYI cooling is more efficient with the fan shroud.

[sleepersilvia92]

thanks for the comments i am guessing i have around the stock power only real upgrade is the 3 inch from the turbo back and the front mount, and i am running stock boost. i am just saving and accumulating parts right now. i know i still need to put the shroud in and do other minor things.i have to install my turbo timer and try a different iacv also today so i will take as many pics as i can i hope the rain holds off so i can get everything done. i will post later tonight as long as i get home at a reasonable hour.

later

[sil80_chris]

Cool which 5zigens? you should post some pics of your coupe too...and which s13 do you use as your daily driver? Or do you have something different...

[240tunerguy]

[s14derrick]

nice and clean man. pretty much a sleeper until you see that front mount lol

[sleepersilvia92]

i have 5 zigen fno1rc there 17 by 8s not a crazy offset but they look really nice and there chrome with a black lip i also installed 300zx brakes in the front ive been lacking on the pictures but will post some soon. all my other 240's are sold but i have pictures of them when they were in there prime that i will post. the red car is my daily driver but i have two ford rangers that i drive when its crappy outside,one is a 2.3 4 banger shop truck i use for running around if the 240 is apart and is beat to hell lol and i have a 4.0 4x4 which is the winter rig,i work at a highway dept. and i have to get there in the worst of conditions so i have to have somthing 4x4. once it gets a little colder the 240 is getting gutted over the winter and i am going through everything then the final thing will be body work and paint in the spring. this car will not be that same next year i cant wait to tear into it as long as it goes into hibernation running strong i will be very happywell thanks for the interest i will post pics up asap thanks alot, eric
