S13 Coupe, Build By Long Shot Racing

[King Chilie]

yes, the wheels are ghetto and will be changed soon, and a paint job as well. Ok, new plans, i have decided a black/brown layout for paint and interior(prob more black with hints of brown/bronze). I've seen enough white coupes, plus i like a good black paint job. I have lots of ideas and will be posting many pics , this is the first nissan i have ever owned and would like it to be one hell of a ride. So let me know what you think, and enjoy the build!!

Welcome! She's not that bad, think of the wheels as character. What are your plans?

[s13sickboi]

nice! paint her white and leave the brown interior it would be sooo pimp y0

[King Chilie]

nice! paint her white and leave the brown interior it would be sooo pimp y0

i was thinking about leaving the brown! and painting it white! as for wheels im undecided, but i do like the work xd-9's in a matte bronze would add some flare

[King Chilie]

as far as motor goes- 150,000+ (and that was after a rebuild!) car has 250,000+ miles on the chassis/body/interior, so she's been rode hard and put up wet! but she's in good hands now, im so exicted!! a rebuild is coming in the near future, and was curious if a stroker kit is worth it? im all ears! turbo? (done on every other 240 i've seen) or just freshen up the motor, intake and exhaust and call it good? progress will be posted, thanks for the addvice!!

[Lobo240sx]

Very nice 240. Don't worry, my 240 came with 5 star hubcaps/steelies back when I bought it. It has come a long way.

[Speckid4]

Woohooo! Welcome!

Just don't say your going to put a tri-turbo porsche 911 motor in it and you will be on a far better road than majority of people. Take the time to do things right, set it and forget it.

Let me know if you need someone to turn some wrenches

Really? haha nice, I think your off to a NICE solid start man.

[King Chilie]

new braided steel clutch line from spl parts

new coolant resevoir by circiut sports

aahhhh, she's got pink eye!!!

on the way: a new nismo slave cylinder, z32 fuel filter, taylor 8.2mm plug wires, and a surprise!

[chaos2000]

i digz it bro!!! its just like my coupe, lol.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Remind me of my first 240... my tan and brown coupe.... I wish I kept that

[King Chilie]

Alright, here are some pics of what i got done today. First are the pics of some body work that needed to be done, and then after i put bondo on them, yes i am not the best body man in the world , i don't have the patience , but im getting there. Gonna sand and hopefully primer it soon

bye bye rust!!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Your doing that wrong. you gotta get the paint off for the bondo to set, and you should hammer it out so its as thin as possible. Moisture can build up between the paint and filler.

[King Chilie]

I can always sand it off and try again, thanks for the advice

[King Chilie]

Well, sorry i haven't posted for a while, it's been kinda a slow going project since its my daily driver, but here is the surprise

Yeah! out with the ghetto wheels, in with some Konig Rewinds , but she needs to be lowered, badly, so saving my pennies and some coilovers are probably the next step, but for now, gonna keep on with the bodywork

[Chaluska]

dang that car needs to be lowered!!!!

also, those tires look insanely thick, are they like 225/60/16?

[King Chilie]

yeah, more like 215/60/15 lol, i need to change them, but they were all i had laying around, and wanted to get those ugly wheels off of there, so need to find some in the 245/40/15

[badbob2121]

wow, lower and tires immediatly

and what/who is long shot racing? is that your shop? you havent mentioned anyhing about it

[King Chilie]

ah ok, that makes sense, i was going to say this is the worst sponsored build ever lol.

[King Chilie]

i couldn't think of title, so thats the best i could come up with

[King Chilie]

What i have done recently- changed drivers side mirrior (old one hade some wal-mart bubble mirrior glued on ), and the new taylor plug wires




working on getting some new tires, disregard my post about 245/40/15, apparently they don't make that size, i think im going with some 225/45/15, is that ballpark? let me know what ya think , cause the ones i got on there now definatley rub

[Speckid4]

This might be more helpful then what you sent me:

Looks like your looking at a 205 or 215 since its a 7.0inch rim. I bet you could stretch a 225 or 235 on there, but it all depends on the look your going for. I think 215/45R/15 or 215/40R/15 will be good. Depends on how slammed you go. I would go with 45R's since your gunna DD it.

[King Chilie]

Changed tires, now rocking 195/60/15, still needs lowered, will post more when i get some more body work done.

[King Chilie]

Got off work early, and decided to do something productive , crawled under the 240 and found the usual grime of a 20 year old car. So i tackled that for about five minutes and gave up , figure it will all show up in another year anyway. So i moved on to remove the clutch bypass block? if thats what its called, either way it wasn't hooked up when i got the car, so i removed that for weight reduction , and some pics of the car with the 195/60/15 tires.
more weight reduction lol

[King Chilie]

Hey guys, sorry it's been awhile, but recent activity hasn't been much. Installed a B&M V.5 short shifter, and i gotta say it's like driving a new car! Holy crap, one of the best things i've done to it so far. I won't be showing any picks of the shifter, it looks like a short shifter... anyways gonna get serious about finishing some body work and hopefully getting it ready for paint soon. So pics of that in the near future. Also, i am planning on purchasing some coilovers soon, possibly some stances'? i hear they're pretty good. Happy building!
