My first 240

[Javi802]

Well i bought an 89 coupe about a week ago.
119,000 miles on chassis, 88,000 on ka24de swap.
Champagne color, I'm the second owner

Bought the car with a totally shredded clutch, which has been replaced.
New clutch kit and flywheel already installed, taking it to a 240sx specialist to get the damn transmission back in. :got me lol










Pretty clean trunk area

Original Jack



Even came with all the original manuals

Pics of the clutch with no meat on it







And the new stuff installed



The bolt that gave us hell, which we then cut in half and hammered an 18mm on to

holy cleeeeeaaaaaan!

clutch looks pretty beat! hopefully it wasn't beat on
but looks like a good start! what are your plans for the car?

[Javi802]

i plan to get coilovers, soilid subframe bushings, trunk floor brace, possibly fender braces, a new exhaust system (2.5in all the way) and some rota's… Know I'm missing a lot of what i want to do… But Basically suspension work and chassis stiffening.

Eventually i want to get a silvia conversion.

Don't forget a tension bracket brace! (Nismo Powerbrace/Jonnie Fraz Brace)
I'm very happy with mine.

Still couldn't put the transmission on huh?
Such a pain in the butt.

[Javi802]

yep, in total we put in about 8 hours trying to put it in within 2 days.
Just couldn't get it to line up, so i called a really reputable guy in the DFW area named Tay who said he could do it for $100

And i will definitely get a power brace sometime down the line!

Thanks guys!

Well, ended up not taking the car to the shop to have the transmission put back in..Instead

Did it ourselves!!

Lol, we ended up disconnecting the exhaust from the down pipe, Giving the motor so much more tilt .(we had already loosened the motor mounts the last times we tried

Felt like a tard, thats all we had to do all along
haha
