Tenzo Type-M. Size is crap again, 17x7 or 18x8, but the wheel is just to freaking sexy.

If you dont get these, I'll go to your house and slap you, Those are just fuggin sexy, And paint your car to match the lip color ^.^

Just go VIP with this build. Stockish kit, Dropped. Big wheels, Hella flush. SEX ON WHEELS MAN. You'll get all the ladies ^.^ and even some guys.. (DOB...)

18s arent too big. And you can get tire prices for pretty much the same price if you look around.

And Openthrottle stay away from all those wheels. They are Booboo

i agree those wheels are sexy but their size are crappy. i dunno i dont like VIP on 240sx. dont get me wrong some of them look good but just not my style. I rather get a Lex and do VIP style :dancingna. i got a lady and definitely not trying to attract some homos hahaha and plus i dont know if any of the ladies aroung here know what "VIP" style is. whats DOB stand for?

Dude no 18s. Theyre too big, and the tire cost goes way up from 17 to 18s. Besides you can find some really nice 17s all over. Check out autornd.com and also zilvia.net. You'll find some good sites on zilvia for wheels too.

O ya heres what youre looking for ;)

honestly, i dont think 18's are too big but i just dont want to go that big. i think 18's look good on 240's (just have to know how to pull it off). i just rather would get 17's because i can get some better/bigger thread on the tires instead of like 18's.

That $1300 range is great.
But Im not gonna tell you which wheel you should get becasue it is your car. But just keep searching around on ebay, zilvia, rbmotoring etc. You're bound to find something very nice

I gotta say something bro................You got alot of free time on your hands............HAHAHA jus playin.... I honestly wish I could do that to mine.....and you'll have to let me in on how you did the 5speed swap, as I got an auto and need to do the swap myself.

thanks man. work and school has been killing me lately and i've been kinda slacking on working on the car. but i did get a few more things in (still waiting for my radiator and intercooler for my car). dont have a pic of the stuff but will get some up soon. but the 5 speed swap was not that bad (i still have not done the wiring). basically my harness is already for a 5 speed. all i gotta do the wiring is on the fuse box and wire in the neutral and reverse lamp switch and that should be it. but i appreciate the support and good luck on your car.


i know i have been slackin lately with no pictures and no updates but hopefully i'll get some more updates soon.

I know I am new and will probably get flamed for this but......

I dont understand the big deal with the SR, yes it makes more power to start with, but.... Witht he larger displacment of the KA, there is more a possibility of powe output.. Or am I on crack?? I come from the muscle car school where the bigger the engine the better the hp/torque will be....
 
#234 ·
People see Sr's in japanese drifting, and they say "I want to join a bandwagon and be like that other guy with the sr" They dont know shit about the sr's power and displacement compared to the ka.. So they just hop on the sr bandwagon and say I did it because I wanted to. Not because everyone else has one.

your not on crack the KA has a lot of potential. but its really up to what you wanna do in the end. swap a sr or boost the KA.

Zenki, you calling me a bandwagoner? :nono but one of my friends at work introduced me to nissan and the type of engines you can swap into them. so i went with the SR because i wanted to do the swap. not because i saw drifting. im not even a big fan of drifting im more about speed and whoppin ass on the street haha :thumbsup.

Not calling you a bandwagon :p Some people just pick to because they like it. (You) If anything once i get enough money im going rb in my s14.

Finally some more pictures....

well here are some more pics and updates:

Image

I was replacing my reverse and neutral switch position sensor. Got the sensors from a manual KA tranny. fit right in hopefully it will work.

Image

and the other one

Image

working on getting the fuel pump out

Image

old pump

Image

the wire is done

Image

new pump with old pumps filter

I installed the fuel pump today. hopefully everything will work fine.


NOW FOR THE GOODIES.

Image

Steel Driveshaft, Belts, Circuit Sports Stainless turbo lines, and valve cover stud bolts

Image

THE INTERCOOLER :ihit

Image


Image


Image


Image


Image


Image


Image


Image

PINK HOSE :16wtf:rolleyes: haha

Image

Radiator

Image


Image

:smacked49 We'll see how it holds.

Couple of problems im running in:

Image

The bottom bolt on the steering pump is hitting the bracket.

Image


Image

thats the bolt to be exact

What i am thinking of doing is just cutting some of that bracket off and be done with it.

Also, for some odd FREAKIN reason my wiring harness is not bolting up to my some of the connectors on the fuse box. I think i found one or two connectors to connect, then there are 15 others that cant be connected to anywhere else.
