My Project (Jacquemond kit)

[Kckouki]

That last pic you posted with the roof chopped looks like some kind of supercar.

Looks awesome man.

[brandonlgilbert]

Black around the inverted hatch Black around the tail light area vents in the rear bumper

As aggressive as the car is, I think the vents will look good and the black hatch and tail light area will just add to the exotic look of the car as a whole. Kinda like a Porsche from the front, kinda like a Ferrari from the back, but the end result is something totally unique and for that you gain my applause.

I like this project more and more as it progresses. Keep up the good work dude.

Nissans super car in the works... i love this car

[Kalypso]

I know I'm late but what wheels do you have

[silvia_ks_69]

its like...a gtrish/ferrari/240/and something else. props for doing something different. wanna c some wideass wheel stance and wutnot to back it up.

[jessetang]

You need bigger wheels with that kit.

[Sky240PWR]

Next time you get a chance, Could you take some pics from the interior looking at the hatch? I'm interested to see what you will see when backing up/ looking for traffic behind you and in the blind spots.If it doesn't completely block views through the quarter windows, I'd think about getting this for my own hatch.

next time i'm up there, i'll do it

because he started this project hella long ago and they didn;t make that version yet.

thanks!....didn't know if everyone knew or not, but there will be a test at the end of the day!

This is some serious quality of craftmanship. I'm very impressed.

thanks guys, I'm very happy with my body man, he's an artis....thats why i'm not rushing him..........and as far as supercar, thats the look i was going for, i've stated from the begining, i wanted to build the most exotic 240 hatch ever built......now whether i do that or not, only time will tell!

I know I'm late but what wheels do you have

they're called Tremont, at the time(like 5 years ago)...i called like 7-8 wheel places and asked if i could 18x11 in 4 lug, everyone told me no, so i just bought the rims that were on the Jacquemond demo car, i thought it would be easier cause i already knew they fit.....they're a lightwheight 3-piece wheel, i'm happy with them but might need some JDM rims if i want to be on any covers

You need bigger wheels with that kit.

i think with some wider tires, it will look better, and maybe a small spacer if i need one.....but don't know, don't really like spacers.

daymm man this is gunna be one crazy car when done...cant wait too see it....this must be costing you some serious mulla haha.....hope to see it in some mags when done

[crakin]

I saygod luck for what you like but I personally could never kill the 240 like that. it would look nothing like itself.

Your sig is really funny, the thing from The Fifth Element.."No I am a meat Popsicle..."

[Nissan240sx_s13]

Wow.... its really looking awesome. The chopped roof would look awesome with it. In all honesty when I first stumbled upon this thread I thought it was gonna be another ricey too much bling 240, but you totally changed my look upon it. Congrats on the car, the thing is looking awesome.... makes me very jealous!

[amolao]

Definetely it's got the supercar looks, very nice. The front is going to need lots of lowering to make it look good with those tires, unless you drive on glass is going to get damaged. I guess it will be an issue only if you drive it on regular roads. The fitment of the bumper is perfect and the hatch is going to look good. If rear visibility is poor, get a license frame camera to help maneuver around and extra safety.

[treken2t87]

I have been following your thread for quite some time. I remember when you first filled us in on your total investment for the car ($100k+) I questioned the amount of money dropped in the 240 vs. buying something brand new (GTR35!), but after seeing this, I appreciate your dedication and can't wait to see the finished product. It will be a truly unique car!

[Sky240PWR]

thanks guys!....i'm a junky for feed back!

ok so i've got a few pics to show you guys the process of making the vents......it's time consuming so....he still has to work them out.

Quite an amazing build. Your skill with fiberglass is above par, not to mention the over all vision that you have come up with. +1

Keep those updates coming!

=)

[yokota180sx]

i thought it was cool, untill i saw everything all fiberglassed together

and then that it wasnt gonna be a dd....show queens suck.and that front bumper is hideous.

but i drive a wagon, wtf do i know.

the front and rear bumper won't be glassed on, that was my main concern, and i do have a 350z, s2000, and this 240sx...so....it won't be a dd cause i have 3 to choose from but thats not to say i won't drive it on the street, i don't even have a truck or trailer so no trailer queen here!......give the bumper some time, it'll come around, and if you still don't like, it's cool .....not everyone will like what i'm doing, thats a part of life.

[lemon]

only thing i can see doing to the front bumper, is make that middle vent bigger so it matches up to the top of the 2 along side it.

[MastaYu]

this a very crazy and unique project it really coming together

[el OCHO]

we need more update

[yokota180sx]

why the **** is this taking 2 years

[Ajax]

why the **** is this taking 2 years

Because some people have patience for a completely custom car to be fabricated. I waited longer than that for my 2 engine rebuilds...

[Symbiont]

Lookin nasty, can't say i've ever seen a 240 with a widebody, but this one looks really good! i'll want to see the finished product for sure :]

[tramp_drift240]

it isnt completely custom if he bought the body kit for it.

i agree with yokota, this is taking a super long time.

[DMan II-40]

If yo read the tread it lets you know why it is taking so long. He is sort of paying as he goes. Also he has bought 2 cars (350z and S2000) over the course of this project. Just some things to consider...

[tramp_drift240]

why buy 2 cars like that when he could just get the 240 faster. i mean, there is some custom work involved, but 2+ years?

[G4nismo]

wow abs sick project! can't wait till it gets finished man. haven't looked through all the pages though but what are your plans for the motor?

[Ajax]

Did you read the thread, Tramp?This is more than just a body kit. Sure it started life as a body kit, and then each piece was massaged, modified, whatever to make things perfect and better than the original kit.And now they're chopping the roof...Plus the guy doing the work is doing this on off-business hours. If all you're going to do is complain about how long its taking, don't bother posting.

[Ajax]

Also, IIRC, he's using an RB. It'll be plenty fast.

[tramp_drift240]

lol, yes ive read the thread.

the kit itself could look sweet with the right wheels and tire setup. along with all necessary suspension mods. but from what ive read in here, im kinda iffy.

and the chop-top idea is a hotrod thing. i dont think it looks good at all.

everyones entitled to their opinion on the project, Ajax, so dont start e-bashing me for throwin' mine out there.
