Starting Date July 2008 with Purchase of Nissan 240sx.


Image

That is my 240sx 1990 "The Millennium Falken"
This is my 1999 Sr20Det Type X I got pre Swapped
Image

This is her dropped out ready for the swap in her new home (my s13)
Image

It is Month Three and I am waiting for a garage opening at the shop so I can drive her in, replace the exhaust gaskets all the way down, replace the exhaust manifold with a Megan Manifold, install the Walbro Fuel pump, get pin to bolt in the SR20 with it's Nismo Motor Mounts, lube up the Spec 2 clutch and set up the harness (pre-wireing is a bitch) anyone have any material that I can steal?

Got a lot to do, I am getting a full 3" straight pipe (if she is going to be registered in Georgia cause we DO NOT have emissions) including test pipe and Silencer (so the nieghborhood doesn't kick my ass), Drop in my intercooler, cut the front bumper up so I can fit it in the front and still look stock sleeper, replace the bald pirelli 205 tires and pads.

and she is done phase one.
1.) Engine Swap
2.) Add Bolt on Mod's to it
3.) Title it in Georgia (savannah) where we DO NOT HAVE EMISSIONS! and that rocks
4.) Tires + Brakes

What I have spent so far...

1.) 2800 for...:1bowdown
Sr20det Black Top 1999
Walbro Fuel Pump
Dynasty Dump Pipe
Ignitor Chip
Ecu
Spec 2 Clutch
Turbo Exhaust Adaptor
Air Filter + Air Intake Arm

2.) 800 + 200(Shipping)
1990 Nissan 240sx (pig nose)
Tien Coilovers
Sway Bars
KaE Tranny

3.) 140.00
Sr20Det Harness (upper, I NEED lower bad!)
Needs work!

4.) 160.00
FMIC racing Intercooler
because I don't need greddy, I have NO intention on going past 350hp AT ALL

What is left...
1.) AC unit hose line (custom Fabrication for LHD)
2.) Brake Cylinder Replacement or Rebuild
3.) Brakes + Tires
4.) Royal Purple Transmission/Rear Diff Fluid
5.) Exhaust Gaskets + Megan Manifold
6.) Exhaust N1 Series 3'' plus Test Pipe + silencer

A couple reasons why I chose the parts I have...
The Type X Sr20 1999+ HP specs are 30-45hp STOCK more then the Red Top's and the years before it.
Plus it came with a WONDERFUL package.

After all this is complete, and the car becomes a daily driver/ass kicking monster of JDM sleeper cars. Phase two will be in order...

Next step is phase two of the journey, which is paint and body work. Cut out the old rust and tig weld in the new parts. Plus cut out the top brake light and replace it and body mold it as just another part of the metal hatch. Less to worry about with rust then.

Phase Three is Replacing the suspension, Cambers, toe with a new performance system. Tien has a sale for 300 bucks you can get a full suspension kit on www.Srownersclub.com I hope they will keep that sale by the starting of this on comming year so I can snatch that off of them.

Phase Four
is replacing the rims and increasing the wheel set on the front with 225 size rims and 265 on the rear, plus Z32 Brake master cylinder and brake kit, 20mm front pads and Wilwood Vented pads on the back.

A lot of work, but if you love driving as much as I do, it is well worth every penny you can put in her.
Not to mention the wonderful sale on new and used parts galor on the world wide web every day you can snatch up.
I found some Z32 brakes for 100 bucks 2 months ago on ebay. Brand new.

So for us poor guys, wait till the rich boys have to much shit that they don't want to deal with, and part out like no tomorrow. Take advantage, and buy cheap never used shit from the rich idiot like a good boy should.

The Good The Bad and the f***ing ugly

Update: 9/18
kjøpte Shell, har en mann som har funnet fjorten mĂĄneder til ĂĄ gjøre en Sr20det Bytt gjort, fortsatt ikke fungerer, fĂĄtt den vrede av kone. Beklager folkens, men før hun er i gang og jeg har jobbet med henne, har jeg av dette innlegget. fordi det er bortkastet, jeg har fĂĄtt noe ut av dine kommentarer annet enn "god jobb" eller "hjelp meg", mener jeg ikke noe for enhver bruk, de fleste av dere handler som du vet alt, men sier ingenting. sĂĄ god dag til dere alle. legemidler for alle!​
 
I want to hear more about this ha. My girlfriend and I want an SR20 240 and are a bit broke, we need the tips on keeping this "budget" quality ha.
 
Savanna aye. My "friend" goes to SCAD. I might be comping by there sometime in the future, I'll probably hit you up if I do ha. Thanks for the tips/link, very helpful d: And yeah, I'm an extremely lucky guy. She is kinda settling on the 240 for now though until she gets 9k for a Lexus IS300 to drift ha. Either way, she rocks.

Sorry for the temporary hijack, I can't wait for more updates! And of course some pictures!

Another Hurtle and Leap for the NOOB

You know you own an S13 when..:rotflmao

You have to use a pliers to pop your hood.
You go from junkyard to junkyard looking for interior panels that arent cracked / missing buttons.
You have duct tape covering the holes on your rear hatch (and radio antena hole).
Your headlight projectors are caked with dead flies.
The paint on your roof is faded from the sun so much that the clearcoat is just.. gone (looks primered, wtf 'yo).
The previous owner of your car tried putting 'silvia' in as many places as possible in the interior.
Your racing seats just BARELY fit correctly.
Your stock 'SE' rims are beaten to shit, but still hold air.
Your 'SE' emblem fell off years ago.
 
you need more pictures and less talk my man.
^ Agreed. d: Although I do like the careful detail each post has... maybe you could just put A LOT of pictures to make up for all of the talking. :) But that sucks on the driveshaft. Atleast you are pretty much done buying parts ha.
 
kinda overdid it on the information there, S13 blacktop would have been enough. So why don't you just use your KA driveshaft? you just need a boost controller and i wouldn't advise turning up the boost with out any form of tuning or anything to monitor your engine.

Det har vært mye debatt om den moderne skandale av leder for vårt land, tror jeg at ost er det eneste svaret jeg kan legge til det og at ost vil løse våre problemer med mye nødvendig hastighet.
