Cut the 350z brackets off and welded 240sx ones in it's place.
That keeps the rail at stock height so the hump doesn't give you any fitment issues.

i forgot you set up that sprayer system. hows that been working?

Haven't used it much recently.
I want to rewire it to the toggle button (the bottom one) so I don't have to hold it down to keep spraying.

i wonder if you could somehow set it up with a timer. like press the button and it sprays for x amount of seconds. that would be pretty cool!

I bet you could, but electricity is a mystery to me.

Okay, I got everything in and mounted it's just weird how it fits. I kept the rear driver's side bracket closest to the door. That made the seat sit evenly from side to side... If I cut that off though and just mounted the s13 brackets on, it would sit way crooked, weird..
but thanks and sorry for randomly mentioning the seats again

No problemo!
Yes, you keep the 350z bracket that mounts to the floor, I think I mentioned that before.
Enjoy the seats!
Mine sits pretty comfortably, and it holds me nicely.

I did a 200 mile round trip with my car yesterday and I was nice and comfy.

Okay nice, good to hear they're comfortable.. they seem pretty good just testing them out

one more thing.. you think flux core welding is strong enough to hold these brackets on?
I welded around every piece of the bracket.. just getting a little concerned now.. wondering if I should add a bolt to it

Razi-whats that "switching valve" between your intake and V.C. in front of upper timing cover. Never seen that before, is that replacing PCV valve? Just curious, didnt have time to read 22 pages.

If the penetration is good, it should be fine.
If you're lucky you might be able to find a local exhaust shop to go over your welds just incase.

It's a oil/something separator filter for air compressors from Home Depot haha.
I've kept my stock PCV valve setup, this is just acting as my miniature catch can.
The little valve looking thing is there so you can open it to drain any oil it catches. I don't have any blow-by so I've never had to empty it out.

You know even though you give me a bunch of crap elsewhere for whatever reason, I must say this is a very awesome build thread and a very awesome product that came out of it. I want everything you have except in an S14. Props to you.

^ I see your sig. I too was sad to hear of Howard's departure from KsE, but alas, one's health does take precendent. It was awesome to hear that Jesse has returned however. I've been a fan since "Alive or Just Breathing". Oh, and yes, Razi does good work

Yes I just heard that great news too today as a matter of fact about Jesse and KsE. It just couldnt be anybody else, wouldnt be the same.

/thread jack. anyways, I want another 240 lol.

Bought a 15mm Works Bell spacer a while back.


Having the steering wheel closer is pretty nice. I love it!

New project....

LEDs in the 3rd brake light.
If all goes well, I'll do LEDs in my taillights.
Fingers crossed!

Have you done your interior lights in LED? I can't remember. I want to. Just not sure what all to order from superbrightleds.com

Yep!
I made a post about it way back when:
post5842118.html#p5842118

do this


i would be pleased

omg...

Mini update!

I bought a 25mm wheel spacer to put my Nardi a bit closer to me, feels great!



I liked that it came with different bolts for different wheel styles.


Ta da!
It's not as easy to hit the signal stalk now, but it's not that annoying once you get used to it, and I'm willing to make that small sacrifice for the better steering feel.

I also bought a ton of LEDs and messed around with them to go in my 3rd brake light.
I played around with a few configurations to see how I wanted them spaced.

Ended up using a 3x17 config.


Almost done, I just need to wire in the resistors in the back and get this thing in!

I used reflective tape to make the board look nicer.
It's Chromebrite, found at Pepboys, it doesn't conduct electricity so it's okay to use on the board.

I might do a small write-up on this if you guys want, it took me a while to understand how electricity worked and stuff. :P

If Razi hasn't done his with LEDs, I did my S14 with LEDs. My blog has the stuff for an S14. I don't know if an S13 is different.

Woot! LED 3rd brake light is done.




From underneath.


Since this worked out well, I'll start working on my taillights now.

Looks clean, though I'm not too much of a fan of clear tail lights.

Yeah, I've thought about going back to stock taillights for a bit.

I bought a Nismo FPR but the problem was, the FPR is pointed towards the head on the KA24DE fuel rail.
A member on here shaved some metal off the head to make room, but I didn't like this solution.


Spooled240 had a nicer solution though, he cut the fuel rail flange and made a new one to sandwich it on there:


What I ended up with:

I didn't feel like cutting metal so I cut the end off a flange from another fuel rail from the junkyard and used a dremel to make it work.

So here's what I did:

The flange looks like this from the back of the motor:


Then I cut the top of it off so the FPR doesn't hit it.


Then I ground the hell out of the flange I snagged from the junkyard so it looks like this:


I also had to notch one side like this.

That way, it doesn't hit that square bit on the on the fuel rail.


Ta da!


Of course, since I modified an FPR flange, it's already threaded and everything.
I also bought longer bolts. I used allen head bolts because it's a pain to get a screwdriver back there, no idea why Nissan thought it'd be fine to use cruddy phillips head bolts back there.
Then I painted it all and slapped it on.

Stuff for the future:
740cc Nismo Injectors
Z32 MAF
Retune from EFISpecialist (Only $50 )
Z32 brakes all around.


Yaaaay!

Now, I just need to decide what color to paint my Z32 brakes.
Either gold:


Or silver with black letters, like AMG or Infiniti brakes:

I'm leaning towards silver though, I think gold might be too bright for my car.

I'm no good with photoshop, but you can imagine it:


So what do you guys think?
Gold or silver?

I would go with gold, kind of like the g35 brembos.

If I get to keep my car, I'm going to paint the z32 brakes that I have the "Le Mans Sunset" orange from the 350z. Feel free to use the idea if you like it lol.

Gold would look dope since your car is green. Silver would get lost behind the z wheels, but if you're going for the understated look it could work.

Jealous of the injectors haha.
