Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

by the way nathan,, i modify mine because its mine, and i am designing 2 concept cars now but i want to do a car thats been around just as a showpiece,, i would just build one of my concept for a shopiece of work but id take 100k to do what im doing to the 240 for 45k, k? just chill,,, i know where your comin from but think of it this way,,, if you dont do any major mods,,, what sets you apart? so this is why i design cars, because i dont like being limited to some big companys design of what they think i would like and how fast it should be k?why do you think 90% of cars owners change at least somthing on thier cars,,,, TO STAND OUT!!!!!!

whys it wasted?

If i had to bet, i'd bet he will never get the project off the ground.

Yet another new 240 owner with a $30K list of mods ' to do '. concept cars? show piece? I have a wonderful idea on how to accomplish your goals

1.) sell the 240 to someone that will make use of it. even if just as a daily driver, its better off out of your hands.

2.) buy a civic, or an accord, or wait, you have an eclipse.

3.) do $45k of totaly useless phat mods to said eclipse, labo doors molded ugly body kit, rediculous graphics. You'll get a magazine cover.

you want to be noticed thats fine, the 240 community, at least this corner of it, would prefer to go un noticed. I, and i am sure many of us, will thank you to not draw this kind of attention to our cars. The last thing we want is more of you buying more of our cars and bondo-ing more crap to them.

as far as why a supercharger not turbo,, less plumbing/ exaustand so on,,, that and lot more work to get power off the line i think w/ tb, i'd rather have the power when i hit it again,, anyone know what size,, how much boost,?

Post by **Nathan** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

If your running a "200 shot" you could spool a HUGE turbo with that and get your instantaneous boost with a much greater efficiency and power in the higher rpm ranges. It wont matter though, you'll either not hook up or if you do, you'll snap the input shaft to the transmission, or an axle. Oh, and you can modify your car however you want, but I also reserve the right to tell you it's MY opinion that it's stupid

I'm not saying dont do major mods, just dont do dumb ones that are a waste of money, donate it to a needy charity, it's a much better use than putting skyline taillights on.

Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

ok sure you want to buy it? 15k firm, front and rear susp, done all custom, no struts, custom 6spd trans roll cage, ect, engine internals done, and majority of electonics purchased,, why the h*ll would i do an eclipse,, its front wheel drive, and a pos,, at least a 240 is worth doing, great base to build on,,, and about you bodykits and graphics and crap. im not looking or intentionaly tryin to get on a magazine, but hey, if so fine, lets see you do it,kma if your that narrow minded,, ITS A CAR, what did you design it? the way you talk, i might think so,,, so what all the nascars and top fuel funny cars,, you think they make the tauruses and montecarlos and what not look bad, sound like your jelous,,, so how much did you wanna bet? cuz its been off the ground idi

i swear some of these people are giving niss a bad name,, actin like its the kkk or some crap, so what i want to be diff, this is sapose to be like a nissan family right for 240's? a few of you act like our step child, you know what happens to a mouthy stepchildi like these forums, i been around what 4-5 days here, and not started any crap w/ anyone and had, at least 2 doz people bad mouthing me and others i notice,,, WTF??? chill people please.. all anyone asked for was honest opinions, not attitude

thanks,,,

you asked why your car is a waste. I gave you an honest opinion.

You dont care what i think of your car, and i dont care what you think of mine. In the end it is your car and you can do whatever you want to it. I am no one to stop you.

but if you ask a stupid question about tail-light swaps and justify it with 'wanting to stand out' you get bet that you are going to get an 'honest opinion' from me and others on this board.

You show me all this custom suspension work and a custom transmission and i guess i'll have no choice but to eat my words. in my experience people with fully built motors dont list 'valve cover' 'bla bla bla' and 'ect' as mods.

and by the way ",,," is not "..." "..." is called a ellipsis. Its used in writing to show a pause or absense of a word. kinda like when the board bleeps out curse words like: ****

Thread Subject: Rear Bumper ShavedCurrent Subject: 200 shot of nitrous...

perhaps your queries (supercharging and what not) would best be answered in another thread...say...engine specific?

Post by **MidnightSlide** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

I think that skyline tails would be awesome if you have a coupe... something to separate you from the rest...

About the motor thing, just get a RB26DETT skyline motor swapped in if you have all the money to fully build a drag 240... that would be a much better way to spend the money, because the motor has very high potential.

yes it does, but no it wouldnt. for all the money youd spend dropping an rb26 into an s13 youd have been better off buying a supra or something. waste of money IMO.

and dont worry about your tail lights. all harshness aside, the 240 community (mostly) prides itself on having the right priorities... in other words, its always better to go faster than look faster. i trust youll make the right decision.

Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

i was going to swap from a tt 300z for my first 240, but i found this one a yr ago with a like new 30k motor in it and i guess i figured it would be that much more neat to have the orig type motor with insane HP, right? i dunno, ,, i was going to do a sleeper and be all stock but i would still need the hood and a new F airdom, so its kinda usless, and as soon as i start it, theres no way anyone will think its stock so,,,by all means, my first priority is speed, anything more, like drifting and styling, is just icing on the cake for me.

what the rb26det come from, is that a new niss v6, or from japan?

Post by **MidnightSlide** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

The Rb26DETT is the motor out of a Skyline GTR...makes 320hp stock... a very nice motor capable of holding over 1,000 horsepower.

And no man the swap is less than $10,000 ...a nice turbo supra is WAY more than that... the payoff would be greater if you swapped the motors out...

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

320hp is a very very modest rating. Some people say that it makes that much to the wheels. Beyond that the 26dett has several install issues into an S chassy. AFAIK you need an rb25 transmission and I dont know if it is even possible to keep the TT due to the steering column. It is also important to note that while the 26dett does have several oilpump upgrade options, the rb25 has none.

Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

well thanks for the input,, though ill still go with this one since its to far along to change. back to the thread though, what do you all think about shaving the rear bumper and a dual ramair cowl hood, 1" high,,

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

* I * dont like the look of a corvette roll pan on a corvette, but thats just me. It could look good if the car was slammed low and use the 180sx tails..

I bashed you pretty hard about the cowl hood, but thats how i feel about it.. instead, had you thought about a sleeker vent like on the turbo FC? or maybe an inverted vent likeon the c-west hood? << DROOL!!

Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

got any pics you could share?

Yes you need an rb25 transmission, according to what Underground motorsports says you can keep the TT, and all you need to do(with their kit) is bang out a porton of the firewall for the starter. And I've seen an rb26 putting over 1200hp. It's craziness.

Post by **MidnightSlide** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

yup... truly beautiful creations.. I wish i could have my own. I heard somewere that the r32 gtr transmission is a 5 speed, and it can and will bolt into the 240's....soooooo... that would be cool if it is true.

The hood from the front:

and you have most likely seen the tails:

what a nice shot of the rear. 180sx lights, apex'i n1 duals!im in love

Post by **xdreamz** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

cool,, kinda like the hood,, a little too bold though, body kits way to bold for me,, yea those tail ive seen but i wish they were seperate cans, without all the extre trim, and makin the center into one piece..

Post by **solaris22** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

buy some spray paint then

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:23 am

if you are seton separates you are set on separates, nothing i can do to stop you.. Tho.. if you were good with fiberglass.. i wonder if you could create a sort of mask.. so that just the 2 round lights.. or maybe the rounds and the 3 signal slits showed through?

I love that body kit, so you can see there is some rice to me too. I like the hood for it being so understated from the front.. i'd love to see it in black.

why pay so much for the lights and then cover em up? why not just do some fiberglass enclosures for some LED set up?
