Trippie's Adventure

[trippie]

Sup guys I just bought my first 240sx, its a 1995 with a little over 130k. Its a 5-speed and bone stock. It really is a fun car to drive even like it is.







I still need to get some day light photos, these were just taken at a parking garage at night.

It really is a fun car to drive even like it is.

BUT... some things need to come and go... First mod. for the car is front brakes. So I did some searching and got some things.
>Reman. 300zx Aluminum 30mm Calipers
>New 240sx to 300ZX Calipers conversion steal braided brake lines
>New 300zx rotors
> New brake pads



I'll try document and post pictures of what I do.

PS- rotors only get here tomorrow

I'd love to do a 2jz swap... I have been able to play around with a few and I really like those motors. I think it would just be practicle since I live in the USA to stick with an engine I can get parts for in a reasonable amount of time. But I'm stuck in college so nothing big for a while. I think I'll focus mainly on suspension stuff since h/i/e is a big waste of money on an NA motor unless you are running a ported head higher compression and all that nonsence. SO I'd like to spend my next chuck of change on coilovers/strut bars/control arms/ tie rods....

I was actually trying to get you to see the silly in this. Your adventure was going to a parking garage. Amazing.

Before

I had started changing things early on but nothing great, custom ram air filter, radiator, front strut bar, had to move the battery. Dumb stuff.

Then I got a spare motor and started working on that...


AN fittings, I don't want boost leaks. VC color matched to the car paint.


Oil pan welded with fittings for a temp sensor and turbo oil drain line.


AN lines for the gauges


My modest gauges to cover the air bag hole in my dash from a wreck.


Not very different from stock, but I tried to keep things Tidy. -10 lines come from the VC and PCV on the Oil Pump, plugged the pcv return holes in the Intake Manifold with threaded plugs.


RB flywheel


350z clutch sprung 6 puck

I got more pictures I need to post. Need to get more too. It's hard to remember to take photos.
