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?

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

Dudermagee · 03-21-2011, 09:26 PM

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.
Before:

During:

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

more pics up soon

Thanks, and here is the rest of the story for now:
got my AMSOIL

filled up the transmission and I'm done!

HUGE DIFFERENCE in shifting now, so tight and precise.

Nothing really, just put on my Broadway mirror, and saw a man about some paint

Need to do list:
remove front emblem
remove wing
remove front bumper
remove rear bumper

Dudermagee · 03-30-2011, 08:47 PM

So I'm getting a pretty good deal on paint so I decided to pull the trigger and get started
I debadged the rear, took off the wing, and took off the rear bumper

Took off the front emblem

and put on my mirror

I'll fix them

Dudermagee · 04-17-2011, 08:01 PM

Welp its been a while since I updated last...
since then I cleaned off all of the crap around where the tail lights went, painted my tail lights

Then I put the painted tails back on with new adhesive, took off the old wing adhesive, and put on the JDM bumper.

Dudermagee · 04-17-2011, 08:07 PM

Next on the list is the front end
so I took off the front bumper, grill, lights, fenders, and side skirts (needed to get the fenders off)
as it currently sits

everything out on the driveway

Next I'm going to paint the wheel wells with POR15, put on some fender braces, put on the JDM bumper, Put on all the JDM lighting, Put on HID's, and yellow out my fogs.
Hopefully I'll have it all done by next weekend or so.
