Hey All,

Recently my fiance and I purchased a 240 after a long wait and a lot of savings as daily driver/project car. I've posted a few pics and info about the car below. The car had been sitting for 3 years before we purchased it and now we are going through it on almost a daily basis repairing, fixing and upgrading as we go. I do have a few questions as well, so if anyone can help, thanks in advance! Mind you (and flame if you wish) we have a HUGE background in DSM so if anything sounds stupid, it's probably because we aren't sure how certain things work on the 240 and other Nissan's haha.

92 Nissan 240sx w/ 187k miles 5 Speed
White/Black
ka24DE w/ 70k miles
14" steelie fronts
16" 5 spoke rears (Not sure of the Brand, looking for 2 more for the front so if anyone knows let me know ASAP!)
Megan Springs w/ skunk2? (what we were told) shocks
Nismo Short Throw
Megan Headers
Magnaflow Catback exhaust
Momo Steering wheel w/ new hub
AC Delete
Stage 1 clutch
HICAS Delete
VLSD
Front and Rear Strut Bars (Not sure on the brand either but if someone knows from the pics, let me know)
Orku Headunit
Kenwood front 6.5" speakers
Planet Audio 4x5 Rear Speakers

A Few Notes:
1) We know it needs a good amount of body work
2) We are fully aware that the sound system is crappy
3) Finally, we know the engine bay looks like hell... it's in the process

Just take into consideration, we both work graveyard shifts and I'm a full time student, so it's a long term work in progress. It's a good start/base for us.

Future plans include:
Repair PS (replace 1 line and refill)
Full Flush, again (again the car has been sitting for 3 years)
Fan Clutch Delete, replacing with Aluminum Radiator and dual electric fans
New intake, and eventually intake manifold and throttle body
Godspeed Rear Crossbar
New headlights (Probably hella's)
New Tires and front wheels
Finish emissions delete
New brakes all around (Possible 5 lug swap) and lines
New Motor mounts, and new clutch

Once everything is up to standard and things are working better, we are going to start our KA-T build. We got a spare KA(DE) engine when we bought the car, all it needs is a new water pump to be fully running. But it will be disassembled, cleaned, and refinished to start off a fresh new engine.

If I missed anything please feel free to let me know, all comments welcome. If anyone knows what kind of wheels those are, please let know! Thanks again all!

Uhhhh, Hicas delete???!??!? Did any fastbacks come with Hicas? I thought that was only a 300z and Jdm Silvia thing...

Either way welcome to the wild and wonderful world of 240's and more importantly welcome to the world of RWD

RWD FTW
