Well after working on the 240 when i could all winter (child, school, and work) i fixed her. here are some pictures of it. Anything you see I probably didn't do unless had to do with the coolant system. It's a kinda red 1991 240sx fastback. It's gotta k&n drop-in filter, some type of apexi knock-off catback exhaust (maybe e-bay), and 17i inch motegi mr7s.
I don't know if I will keep her...

Here's a couple pictures that I took on Friday night

I know the hood needs to be atleast spray painted

got hatch support for free and more parts for selling crap on e-bay (previously using my head for support)

i got this car detailed on Thursday free, thanks big ass fans (work)

steering wheel looks back because the cover falling off

mr7s on kumho's

here's that gay exhaust i was talking about

a little hatch cancer

sorry if too long...

they are great cars for tunning. I sold mine last year it was putting 658 hp to the pavement.

Looks like a good starting point, got any plans for it?

illestfob · 2008-03-08 23:29:24

if you sell or part out.. i like them wheels.. other wise it looks like a pretty decent project starter

shift_jin · 2008-03-08 23:55:00

i don't know what i'm going to do. if i let her go, i'll try to keep the rims for ya, allen
i kinda had an idea of a vq35de swap but i would rather swap it in a s14, also it would probably cost quite a bit to get the body back to looking good. i just found out that there is a online jdm motor shop 130 miles away from me that has many s13-15 sr20s and rb motors.

Keep us updated if whether or not you decide to part it out.

You dont sound very enthusiastic about the 240

Wish you were around NY couse a red 240 just like yours was junked with a complete turbo kit and rims a week ago

Sweet!

I LOVE 240s. I always liked this body style a lot but REALLY loved the S14s...they're not easy to find though...especially with a manual trans since they've turned into very desirable cars for the tuner crowd. Maybe I'll hunt one down in a year or so and pick one up...hmm...

03redspec · 2008-03-19 23:54:36

i really want a 240!!! i was dead set on stopping all of my plans for the spec and building a sileighty!

i wanted to do the 180 rear with the s14 front and an sr....or maybe even an rb or 2jz!

im still thinking about picking one up in decent shape...i dont have the money now to do what I want to it but i could wait a few years and at least know that I have one. i imagine 240's in decent shape will becomeharder and harder to come across

good start for a project car, my shits all torn apart right now lol

amightybob · 2008-04-02 20:11:56

I love 240's and plan on buying another the ONLY reason I sold mine was to get money to move to NC and buy a house with a work shop thats about 800 square feet.

Buy the way I was putting out that hp with a s15 sr20 the 240 was designed to exploit that motor, If you want great handling go with the sr20 the weight ratio is almost 50/50 with it. For max power go rb25 or rb26 but you will sacrifice some handling.

You can get that body in shape real easy with some salvage parts and a little welding, say keep the car.

i seen this car at walmart one of my friends wants it. would you sell it?

Nismo · 2008-04-23 22:57:31

If you don't keep it, I got first dibs.

shift_jin · 2008-04-23 23:10:26

alright getting more money in a minute so i'm trying to let it got for 1800 right now. it overheated on me here recently and got fixed, now it overheated but i think it needs some radiator hoses and it'll be good.

jc-b15specV · 2008-06-22 22:01:52

my s13 i like drift too..

jerrin03specv · 2008-09-25 01:28:23
