well here we go... All of my previous 240's have been N/A ka's or ka-t, well i had a slight change of mind! this is going to be my last 240sx that i own! so i'm going all out.. well i'm going to try and go all out... so i came across a complete '08 vq35hr drive train, ecu and harness.. i got in touch with a local shop (ONE MOTION), who have done a few vq35de swaps. this is the build!

The car i started off with!

Image

the ka that went by by!

Image

Vq35hr drive-train

Image

Vq35hr in! but there is a slight problem.... its crooked and the starter is sitting on the rack...

Image

now there were a few remedies that we could of done...one raised the engine up! but then i would need a ridiculous cowl hood! two clock the rack, but the column would have a drastic bend, that would most likely bind. 3 RHD swap... now i know allot of you are going to say that there has to be a cheaper or less drastic remedy! McKinney says add a 3/4" spacer between the D/S mount and the block, but the motor then sits even worse. so a friend gave me a great deal on a complete rhd clip. In my eyes this was the best way to get it done...

Vq back out

Image

gutted fire wall

Image

rhd clip

Image
Image

Someone stole my firewall!

Image
Image

new firewall in place

Image

column bracket in place

Image

rack in!

Image

RHD almost done

Image

Image

Image

dash is in

Image

Image

Image

its getting there!

a little more progress! vq back in for some final adjustments on the mounts!

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

lil more complete.... headers finished and installed with mounts... next step custom Y pipe and harness to be completed

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

headers and Y pipe complete!

Image

Image

Image

just a few more things to button up! just have to finish P.S line, clutch line, send out the harness to my friend Juan at bardabe performance! then get the drive shaft made! so close!
