Basic 240 Build

[PrStien]

Hey Guys, this is my first actual build, and I've lurked on here before but never really posted anything so here goes nothing.

Today I picked up a 91 240sx from my buddies cousin who was extremely tight on cash and let it go for $3500 bucks.
The parts list on the car is extensive but to break it down
- Sr20Det Redtop
-Hks Cams
-Greddy Plenum
-Forgot what turbo's on it
-Full Greddy T-IC Catback
-Stance Everything in the rears
-Ichiba 5 lug
-Nrg Quick release, wheels, etc

Their's a bunch of other stuff I'm missing but I'm procrastinating on an English paper I'm supposed to finish sometime before 7am

Car however needs, Suspension ( Struts,springs,etc) all round, an ECU, Sr20 Wiring Harness,Driveshaft, and some wheels. My goal currently is to just get it moving, so cheap and effective is fine for now.

This is how she sit's right now, progress will be relatively slow because school, work and sports and all that shit so, i'll get to it, when I get to it

looks like a solid base to start with

It's fantastic in my opinion, most of the major work (money) is already done, just need some polishing up to do, then I can start doing the car the way I want.

Hello populace of Stanceworks. I ended up shattering my phone camera and sadly I didn't have a regular camera so I couldn't upload anything for my "build".
However today was the fortunate day my contract expired. So i upgraded my battered piece of poop and got myself another. with a pretty hot camera if I do say so myself.

But I got some stuff

I got these ugly taillight shells that came with the 240

and I decided to look for a cheap OEM pair, I accidently came across a craigslist ad for these and they were extremely cheap so I floored it down I-294 and scooped these babies up.

put my headers,turbo, intercooler piping, and intake on ( No I do not support terrorism)
Unless it's terrorizing these tires...... I'm sorry..... I'll leave now.

Picked up this driveshaft for $35 dollars and some Jimmy Johns ( Guy was really hungry)

Put my fan's in, going to wire them up later. Zipties are temporary. The rad ended up being smaller than the shroud.

Downpipe and test pipe came in this morning and are going on when I feel less lazy

Also grabbed OEM g35 wheels to roll this thing around but I might actually keep them, they don't look to bad on my hatch, but I did need spacers in the rears so I grabbed a pair of 25mm Ichiba's off of a fellow 240 enthusiast and they sit pretty nice now ( will take more pics after its off of the jack stands)

And finally, Got some of these sweatshirts in preparation of the fall/winter cause Illinois is freezing tits once it hits like October

All I need to do now is put everything in, wire, plumb, hoon, oh and get a battery, thats probably important too

Those rear lights look mint. I'm excited to see where this goes. I'm a 240 fan, so don't disappoint me!

[SnazzyQ]

Planning not to, previous owner is old school and said he'd cut my balls off if he finds a hoonigan sticker anywhere on the car

Oooooh Im always down for a 240 build on SW.

Haha thanks man, planning on making it as clean as possible for a drift car

Helloooooo populace of Stanceworks

I decided to stop being a lazy poop and get some shit done...... Terrible Idea.

Well first I got some more S-chassis things and what not's

So I began trying to bolt the downpipe in and realized
"Shit....... there's like no room here".
After multiple minutes of cursing and manipulating nothing worked
So invited a few buddies and we took the headers off
Intake and Intercooler piping went first

Homies putting in work

20150726_221122 by atyab baig, on Flickr

Bolted the downpipe to the dump pipe while it was out of the car than gently (forcefully) put it in and bolted it down

20150726_221323 by atyab baig, on Flickr

Then came the test pipe where we ran into some trouble....
The test pipe and the rest of the exhaust are an inch apart,

20150726_222913 by atyab baig, on Flickr

Soooooo we're gonna have to weld new mounts for the exhaust once my buddy gets his welder...... and a Porshe.
Since that's all good and left, I began putting the piping and the intake back in

20150726_224331 by atyab baig, on Flickr

Today was semi eventful.
But good news everyone
I'm gonna pic my daily up tomorrow

[SnazzyQ]

Deng that test pipe is such a bummer.

Also what is the daily? pls tell me.

[PrStien]

Deng that test pipe is such a bummer.

Also what is the daily? pls tell me.

Yeah I was hoping for a straight bolt on, but it's not too bad considering I have to learn how to weld one day

You'll see it tomorrow

[PrStien]

Apologies for the crappy pics, my phone was dying and I could only use the snapchat camera

Went to the shop to finish up the daily . This ended up being the culprit for my car.
Freaking fuel pump

[SnazzyQ]

Now all you need is 326 power coilovers and some stupid wide wheels

[PrStien]

I just wanted to get of my accord and put it up on le craigslist. Two days later I get a trade offer and I was like hell yeah.

[Hellalime]

[PrStien]

OoOoOoOoooo I like. The G35 rims dont look half bad.

I thought they would look hella weird, but surprisingly they don't look too bad. Thinking about painting them an arctic white
