Default Midnight Purple?

A buddy of mine wanted to get into the nissan game and came to me for some advice, i thought id post our progress for your enjoyment and knowledge.
Anytime you drive a 240 lots of people talk about how they wish they could own one and you kinda brush it off, he sent me a video of this car proceeding to sell his Evo 8 daily and i decided id help him without a doubt.



We started with a clip before finding a solid shell he was so set on it.
(All parts are sold or being used, please do not ask)

We drove to JDM tech b.c. they talked about a crate coming in with a clip they thought might have a goodie or two.



We picked up this clip that hadn't even been touched by their pressure washers for standard clip cost before they got to really inspect it. I know, badass...

Getting it home late at night on the U-haul we didn't get to tear it apart till the next day, but it was very, very well equipped lol.







Blitz front mount, stock t25, Greddy bov recirc, oil cooler and relocation with gauges, personal wheel, and Greddy electronics seemed to be the setup until the heat shield came off for this..


Sex, huge bonus.

Later this beautiful morning.... raw Ogura setup discovered..



Arc and SPL goodies



Edit: Almost forgot his adjustable hks cams!








Will update soon, ill leave yall with this!

Thanks, get that silv front finished kendal..

And Royce, if your not gonna "-r" within the next 3 months, ill give you this ka-t25 setup laying around for crying out loud.

After looking and waiting for a coupe to pop up that had been on any level of clean, or near the regular cost.. we decided on one and scooped it within the weekend that could have been better and worse as a 240 to start with.

Cracked dash,slip ons.. new carpet, single cam shell... we took it apart too..

(Iphone)










(AFTER GUT AND PRESSURE WASH, car had everything except one reservoir and motor before we gutted and pressure washed)



(He wantd a lil attention)

Shell wasnt too bad, everything checked out except the front corner had been crimped up and was arranged to be all fixed to perfection (Tommy, to do fab work on frame/core support)

Car wont be slammed together with ebay junk, anything thats not quality=temporary.

I remember that coupe being up for sale when I was searching for a shell. Nicely bought.

I understand your concern about my power progress. I'm hurrying to do it right you know what i mean? Nothing would be worse than being one of the very few KA-R's in the bay area and suck. Dont hold me to that time line too strictly or I'll start buggin' you about your 2jz project...

I was more offering you a turbo setup if you decide not to -R ..... Let's not talk about the 2j, a financial monster just ate the money it needed to run :/ I have been stupid busy with school but tonight I should have some free time to update if anyone's got the pop corn, big update incoming!

I hear you there. For me to go turbo now would be like you to go SR after gathering 75% of everything for your 2jz build. I'm not saying the "R" wont happen, but right now I'm just a few components from making it happen. So true is the saying, " you wanna play you gotta pay."

They will be done some day.

I hope they actually get done ever lmao.

Dem excess partz are being used brah, maybe a grill hahaha

I know all of you have seen an engine bay tommy painted if you read the build threads. Well, heres another picture, of the same angle, of the same chassis, again. As stated, midnight purple skyrine style.
(For the record, the first few pictures show where the core support was crimped up and it was drilled out and a new new was stitched in from the tower forward. Since he was painting the bay, and has done rhd conversions, i entrusted this to Tommy as well.)

















Gotta see in person :]


Oh yeah, he also bought "The right stuff"
