Lil D21 diddy

[sleeps]

Traded my super sweet rusty, broken, in need of engine, civic si for this D21. Speedo stopped at 222450... Runs and drives decent.

New tail lights, fixed other lights, smaller tires, and general clean up.
3" drop/ish, Nissan pathfinder 15x7 wheels, with current 195/65's. Had 235/75's dont know why.

How I picked it up, minus tail lights and roof bars...









Purchased these, Amazon $25, paint $10.





5 coats later and finished product:





Current with new tires.





Deciding on wheels, and drop from here on. Prolly going to repaint as well.

KA?

These are easily my favorites of the mini trucks.

Love what you did to the tails

Im new to Nissans, but from what I read its a ka24e. Not the more common de? Needs a good engine cleaning, should be done here soon, really thinking of some 16 or 17 steels. Possibly trooper or pathfinder mesh OE's. Found a original rear bumper for it with ball for towing, should finally be able to find me a low trailer to go with it.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Yep, they didn't put the KA24DE into the trucks until the Frontier. In terms of which is more common, I suspect the SOHC version actually has higher production numbers, though I have no real evidence either way.

You'll want to keep an ear to any kind of racket coming from the timing chain. KAs are tough little engines, but the SOHC engines do eventually eat their timing chain guides, and the results tend not to be real pretty.

But you can just take that little bastard off and throw it in the trash can.

That's a Pontiac Aztek. Quite possibly one of the ugliest vehicles ever made.

I'd still like to see one done up by someone.

GM tried to customize one:

Oh GM, you so crazy.lol I've actually got a better looking modified Aztec pic I gotta dig up. /end rant /end thread jack
Awesome attention on those taillights

Onto some random pics, with the newly aquired but used bumper. Then clutch pedal went down to floor, replaced master and slave, along with a water/fluid hybrid that come out. Brake fluid absorbs water people, change that crap at least 1 time every hundred k.

Some new clear bumper lights.... looking for wheels.

[Shogunate]

Its a start. These things can be serious drift missiles. Maybe a v8 or Vq35/350z swap. Subbed to see where it goes as long as it's low

[Dremetos]

First I was like WTFFFF at tail choice..

Then I was like damnnnn son

[sleeps]

Thanks, few more shots of some small things. Air intake cover, new cup holder, and why I cant go much lower at the moment....
