NO HABLA ESPANIOL.

(That's funny because that's the only Spanish I know)

Nico international is in the bottom right corner of the page...

very nice man, but i'd lose the black striping and honestly, imo, the wheels (especially the backs) should be a lot more flush, so space or get new kicks. All in all though, shes a bad mama jama!!

Actually just put the stripe on the front and rear bumpers and front fenders today. I do have a reason tho, the car had been painted and they masked around the original stripe on the doors and rear quarters. Had I removed that, who knows what woulda happened! The car will get and entire paint job hopefully next year sometime.

As for the wheels, i dont think the fronts can get anymore flush without sticking out, and I'm searching for a decent spacer for the backs. Once again, I have my heart set on new wheels anyways, so they are only temporary! I had gotten a bit carried away when i got my fender roller and did the car forgetting that I yet to acquire wheels to fit the flare! DOH! Here's a pic with the wheels in the front straight...they're fine. Can the car go a tad bit lower? Ya prolly.

Maybe when it gets a whole new paint job. I do however kinda like the look of the doors... gives it something different that the other 240's don't have.

The small things that still need some attention are parts of the interior, trunk and a good buff on the rest of the car.

Besides a convertible top, right?

Anyways, I love how the car's coming out. And congrats on bumping my project off the homepage! The link is still wrong, but the picture is there... I told Seth, so I'm sure he could take care of that for us.

Way to represent!

Ya man, other than the top! And I had no idea that they had changed the homepage project pics...I know yours was up for a VERY long time! We gotta keep the Vert scene alive!

Thanks all!

Well, today was D-day! Dyno day that is! Went in this morning and swaped in my Z32 MAF and new plugs. On it went to the dyno and TA-DA! She's now fully tuned! She's got a base number of 283whp on the waste gate spring (12psi). On the high boost setting on my Profec B she's puttin down 403whp and 360ft lbs at about 5700 RPM at 22psi!





I'll post the plot as soon as it gets emailed to me!

As promised, the plot! This is showing the three boost settings, 12psi (on the waste gate with the controller off) 16psi (low setting on the Profec B) and 22psi (high setting on the Profec B). The green represent the HP number while the blue represent the TQ.



Thanks for all the great comments guys! I honestly could not have completed this project with out the Nico forum! Seeing others builds really motivated me on those days when I just didn't feel like doing anything!

And as always, keep an eye out for new mods! I've already got a list started in my head...You may have double vision next time you see under the hood.

If your planing on coming down you should probably figure it out soon so we can figure out car seating, and sleeping arangements. There are already 13 people caravaning down with us, Dan and Jake being included in that count. It's going to be one hell of a trip!
