The next thing to do is roll the rear fenders and possibly the front as well. It def rubs while I drive. An alignment for sure.
It feels much better than before. I get no vibration up front at high speeds. Overall, I'm pleased.
Enjoy. :cool:

Small update: I got myself a Nismo shifter, thanks to Enjuku's holiday sale price. Also, which doesn't look that bad, a shifter boot off Ebay.

Image

Image

Image

Acquired a triple gauge pod holder. Looks sharp. Def would like some better gauges, but these work fine. This look is much better than the A-pillar look.

Image

Image

As of now, Im working on the rear lca's; installing new bushings, got theMoog 9633 ball joints with brand new 300zx taper seats pressed and freshly painted the 240sx rlower arms.

Image

Image

Image

Next simple project is an alternator conversion kit. Thanks to CodyAce for the info and quick shipping.

Image

I should have all this installed next tuesday. Not feeling well at the moment. Looks like I have the flu. :eek:

2011 update: Quest alternator and conversion kit installed and running.

Image

Installed the rear lower control arms... new ball joints plus bushings...
...and front tension rod bushings for the stock rods. My old, weakened tension rods made the s13's front end wobble.
*removing the stock bushings is p.i.t.a.*

I also relocated my new battery to the rear. Not pictured, the posts that hold the battery and box are on. Very simple to mount.

That's it for now. She's coming along steady and slow.

Well... work on the 240 has been slow. There's so much more I want to do, but I lack the additional funds to get what I want done. This is how she looks at the moment. Since her paint job back in March, she's received a couple of unnecessary dings and small scratches. I'm trying to baby her when possible. She def looking much better, tho.
