when I felt like selling it. I finally made up my mind and decided to keep it. It's a 1995 SE model that came automatic. I did a
manual swap myself shortly after I got the car. Started getting upgrades here and there. blah blah blah not much of a typer so
i'm just going to post up pictures and go from there...
How it looked when I got it...
Basic KA with Auto Transmission behind it
Got some R33 Skyline Brakes
Little shot of the interior
Installed new Godspeed Coilovers
Got the inner and outer tie rods from Wicked Tuning. Amazingly awesome! the have the spacer already machined into them.
I added an extra tein spacer and modified my spindles for extra angle
Took the engine apart and rebuilt it
Re-did wiring and tucked it
Initially on going KA-T but decided to keep it NA
Job finished
So I've been running this set up a while now and realized I need more power. Had a fee wheel changes and lots of street drifting (shhh)
Picture taken by Mr. Mad Mike
Changed wheels again and got me a oem front lip & Navan sideskirts
And now currently 4/2013 I got this crazy idea to throw in a 1uzfe motor from a 1992 LS400. Purchased the motor
with harness and ECU for $260! My plans are to run my KA transmission and later upgrade to a 350z transmission. Thanks to
Brett Collins at Collinsadaptors.com this will be possible. Here's what I got done so far...
When I found her
Took her out and brought her home
Started breaking her down and get her cleaned up and ready for a rebuild
Hey look there I am lol
Got new Oil Pump, Water Pump
New Rings for the Pistons
Unfortunately I can't find the pictures of the Crank and Rod Bearings install but I got those in there (ACL Race Series Bearings)
Got the the Valve Covers Wrinkle Coated in Red (my S14 patiently waiting in the back)
How she currently stands as of 4/3/13
[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Sezio;5228191]**Update**
Got my kit from Brett so now I can start some work.
Installed! One thing though about this kit is that you need to replace the starter bolts because the bolt heads hit the adapter plate.
She's ready!
In the beast goes...
[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Sezio;5248076]Here's a little update...
I said screw $100 for egr plates so I made my own haha. Not the best looking ones but they do the job.
Got the KA transmission bolten up.
And in she goes for good this time after the 8th time.
Clearance for exhaust manifolds not so bad but I did have to Frankenstein the Driver side due to it hitting the Steering Shaft. It looks like crap but I'll get myself some Tundra headers later on and do it better.
[/QUOTE]Little Teaser of how she sits currently
Not much left to do...
-Driveshaft shortened 1-5/8"
-Finish Wiring
-Install Electric Fan Kit
-Install Intake Kit (K&N)
-Add Oil to Transmission
-Install Shifter
-Order Sway Bar Spacers from here Nissan :: 240SX :: LSx Swap Parts :: 240sx Sway Bar Spacers - DAFT INNOVATIONS - ONLINE SHOPPING CART
And that's pretty much it. Stay Tuned for more updates and thanks for the support.
So she's awake! I have no exhaust right now just open header and also MAF wasn't connected which is why it sounds off. She started right up that's all I was concerned about. I only have a few more things left and she's off to the muffler shop.

Some pictures of my transmission hole. I gotta notch it back a little to install my shifter properly or get a 1 piece short shifter.
Yesterday's picture... Mounted fans on the radiator and put car back up on jackstands. I ended getting a 1 piece driveshaft that should be ready today. I'll be able to move the car under it's own power finally! Stay tuned for more updates. I'll post pictures up of wiring once it's all finalized. Also I keep blowing the fuse for the starter switch I believe it is. It calls for a 7.5 amp fuse so I threw in a 15 amp. Let's see how that holds up.
why the UZ motor though btw? is there any specific reason? or was it just an easy motor to source?
