I'm the dude, man.

Hey whats up guise, been here for awhile so I figure I would share my build so far.
I'm kinda a slacker so it may take a while to get if finished, and bear with me as I am by no means a photographer.


Its a 97 Nissan 240sx SE with about 31k miles on it (had about 29k when I picked it up) and it was completely stock and had a shit load of dents(previous owner parked under an acorn tree).

When I first picked it up:








The speakers were blown so I installed these with one of my friends




picked up a crv as a daily


had some Evo VII recaros laying around so i figure I would fab them in






didn't like how high they were so I took them out and got this


some things I have laying around to install:
SPL suspension components







Got 300zx calipers and broke them down:




and had them Powdercoated




S15 helica diff
Stance GR+ PRO coils
Jdm Aero
Dmax roof wing
300zx brake conversion
enkei rpf1 (currently in blue, going to get them PC'd to white)18x9.5+15
and some other shit I'm forgetting

Got dents removed, tinted the windows, and put on a short antenna

Awesome thread title is awesome.

Currently I am installing a new shift boot, ebrake boot, short shifter w/bushing, and doing a transmission flush and refill.

I am planning on doing the Aero next, followed by the suspension\wheels, LS1 swap, and finishing out the interior.

I was planning on starting it this coming weekend, but I think I'm going to get the aero done first sooooo as soon as that is done.


unless this military shit fucks me over

I like everything I see except for the words Ls1. I wish I could have found a 240 that was anywhere near as clean.

Alot of potential...but one question, why do you want a s15 helical?

This is not a drift car build.

looks like you have plenty of goodies for this thing. git r done!

So even though I plan on swapping out the motor in the near future, I figured in the mean time I would swap out the shifter and plastic bushing for a short shifter I picked up on the cheap and a solid bushing.
I also picked up the shift boot package from http://www.redlinegoods.com/ while I was at it since my boots were beat.

Here is the solid bushing I got from Circuit sports



Right now I'm about 75% done, just have to button up the interior and refill the transmission fluid

HUGE DIFFERENCE in shifting now, so tight and precise.
