the german vert

[Schnorchel]

Hi there, finally it´s done. This weekend was working time It´s alive !! I bought my vert for about 900$ with 60k miles and a broken transmission. After a few months I got a S14 transmission from orlando powerline. But now its done and its running great After that I installed my new digital gauge with the head up display.I thought that I have to change the wires ... but it´s plug and play Also I mounted my 3.5`` Kakimoto with the apexi sound control.Its sooo loud

After a few months I got a S14 transmission from orlando powerline.

Congrat!! Did you get auto or manual transmission?

[Schnorchel]

Its auto. Had a few problems to get all parts I need for the manual swap from one person. And shipping isn´t cheap from usa to germany

[madcowvert]

very nice great job what can you just get the 5spd parts over there do you guys have s13 chassis over there?

[Schnorchel]

Yes sure. I can get S13 parts here. But only CA18 and SR20 automatic sucks !! I will see what I can do next winter.

[madcowvert]

ca,sr and ka 5speed parts are all the same.

[Schnorchel]

ca,sr and ka 5speed parts are all the same.

Only the parts I need are the same? Then I need a KA24 5 Speed manual ECU?My english is not so good that I can order all the parts I need.And I don´t find anybody or a shop who is willing to send a bodykit to germany Frontbumper and sideskirts is no problem, they are the same here, but the rear bumper is another. They say me horrible prices for shipping.Btw, Is the vert really running only 180kmh?

[madcowvert]

you can use the auto ecu.. thats what i'm using

[wmdavis007]

Same here...I'm using the auto ECU with my 5 speed swap.

[Schnorchel]

OK thats good. Than I can buy all necessary other stuff.But new paintjob comes first. The original white is

Nice to meet you, mang...Is nice to see an actual german 240SX owner. 240's are rare over there. A solution to your shipping fees might be connecting with a US friend in the military. He will have access to the APO mail system and help you get stuff cheaper. Normal USA to Germany ship rates are very high, considering that you will have to add insurance to that because of the distance.

[Schnorchel]

Hi, yes they are real rare here in germay. you can count them with one hand. I also had that idea, but I think the don´t like it. I heard from some fromthe military base, that its working but that there will be problems with car parts ?? Small peaces are ok but a bodykit ore coilovers are expensive.I only need rims, all other parts are bought Last week my new suspension from england arrived. Its an apey performancecoilover. I also installed my digital cluster an the head up display Have a few new pix ! here installed in the front thats the rear and the front. It can go about 40mm lower thats without the dash and here the hole for the HUD. I like it in the middle

[ishkabibble]

A stock black leather interior in good shape? Pretty nice.

[Schnorchel]

Yes Its in realy good condition.Only 60k miles

[amolao]

YOur car's undercarriage is very clean for a euro 240. Keep us updated. I really want to see how your HUD instal looks like when you are done. And hurry up and finish your car before summer gets here.....

[Schnorchel]

Hi, yes I´m on the best way to get it finished.I hope that the bodykit arrives this week, till then I have time to uninstall all the interieur to get new leather.I think till march the new paintjob will be done.But I have no idea what rims I want I have a set of work equipes but they are too wide.

[amolao]

Is it the offset?? or just wide?

Unless you pull the fenders and/or fold the fender lip they will not fit, specially when you lower the car with the coilovers. If you have OEM 4 lugs, maybe you can find something on Ebay,germany. Or go 5 lugs for a wider selection. You will have plenty of choices from your area if you do.

PS. remember to take pics of the car in front of the Porsche museum....

Its the offset. They are ET -7 I dont want to pull the fenders.Yes have 4 lug and they will stay. In germany 4 lug 114,3 is no chance.I have no idea, but I have some weeks to think about it. I´d like to ride on 9x17 front and rear about ET25 that should be the widest without pulling the fenders. We will see Thats a good idea with the porsche museum. Never thought about that place for pix. Its only 15 minutes away from here

A Euro Vert? Imported from USA? Nice to see a Vert in Germany, keep up the good work!

[Schnorchel]

Yes its from usa. I spent years of searching one. At the moment its completly stripped and nearly ready for painting

[VeloceDrift]

question for ya.. it might be a dumb one but i have been wondering for while if you can swap a non HUD for a HUD with no extra mods.

[DeXteR]

hmm... well i'm not sure this is the best place for your question, but we're laid back enough over here to not bust your head for it.

"SEARCH" is your friend.

Schnorchel,

was your vert originally owned by an american family in Ansbach (Katterbach)???

I remember seeing one for sale on post just like yours a few years ago when I was stationed there....is got to be yours...I almost bought it...

[Schnorchel]

The hud was only a little problem.It was from a right hand drive so I had to build a custom mounting for it in the dash. The rest was plug an play. Some people said that I have to buy another windshield because of the reflections but it looks very good on the original one No it wasnt from ansbach. Was near Frankfurt. The local Nissan dealer imported ot for his wife. Then she got the new 350Z convertible and I was the fastest to buy the vert And 1500$ for a 60k miles 93 vert is a good deal I think

[amolao]

Thats an awesome deal, specially in Deutchsland. And a rare car....

[wmdavis007]

I've never done a HUD install but I do believe you can buy the reflective film to go on your windshield...or I think I've read you can just cut a piece of window tint to size and use that. Someone that's done this or knows more please help him out. Good luck!

[Schnorchel]

The idea with the piece of window tint sounds good. I think i will test it. But later, have too much work with the rest of the car.Little bit of welding here and there

[Schnorchel]

Some Pics from the work of the last days.Got my new Front Bumper and side skirts.I didnt like the holes ind the bumper, so I closed them with fiberglass. And here are my new taillights

[Eikon]

Nice work!

Those taillights look amazing! Ebay?

[Juanit0]

Nice Work!
