Finished building my SR 240sx!
Finished building my SR 240sx!
Not to steal Plopokiller's thunder or anything...
I've been working on this project for about 3 months for my brother. He's funding this whole operation. The idea was to build a sleeper daily driver, that could handle the bumpy streets of downtown atlanta. Today it was finally finished, eventhough the SR has been running for a few weeks. The car is not a looker... at all! It has, what I belive are, the right parts, though.
Laundry list:
Red top
TurboXS HPMBC
Greddy DP
Nismo clutch/pp
26mm Z brakes
KYB GR2's
Eibach Pro-Kit
Whiteline T/C bushings
J30 VLSD
Other parts:
SR rod bearings, rear seal
Silvia hubs/spindles/arms
T25 rebuild
driveshaft, J30 axles
custom rear AC line
dohc front AC line/condensor/drier
dohc PS lines
Silvia cluster
'97 nissan radio
1/2 black interior (still working on it)
Nismo leather knob
Silvia clutch master
'91 15" alloys
95% of this work was done by myself in a tiny apartment garage! I also did all of the wiring myself. Here's the link to the project website:

Thanks goes to Carlos Faxas, Yoshi, Matt and Omar, Taylor Durden, XAT racing, M-Audio (for employing me, eventhough I came to work with dirty hands, and tired for 3 months), and anyone who had to listen to me babble on and on about this project.

BTW, day 15 should be up soon.
