yea the 240sx is in my garage while my Focus sits outside...its ok the Focus understands lol. Before i do a swap on the car im going to rebuild the KA24E motor (gaskets only) and just drift that till it dies and then worry about the swap (SR20DET or KA24DE, boosted of course) what do you guys think of these colors for the 240sx; flat red bottom and gold on top? If you have any ideas or suggestions let me or Brian (blackeuroust)

 

Looks like a fun project. Once you get the floor cleaned off, are you going to spray it black or leave it as is?

 

cool... but i wanna know... how old is that 240? that is some serious rust lol

yea we're going to spray with truck liner actually...so that way we can just brush away any dirt easily plus it will have grip

its an 89 that spent some time in the Keys

 

awesome build guys! i say screw both of those motor options, RB26DETT and make it a sleeper :evilgrin::evilgrin::bow::thumbup:

yea i thought about that but the motor is pretty expensive and its heavy for drifting but it would be awesome:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::hump:

 

up here in NY we have a small drift crew. my friend is currently building a 93 240. He picked it up for $450. it needs a tranny but thats included in the price of the sr20 front clip that he is getting. looks good. pics located at http://nystreetscene.com, under the new toy listing

wow thats lucky i wish i could have gotten an SR20 front clip with my car too

 

nice build! Go get some sheet metal and line the doors and open holes. Rhinoline the interior is going to add alot of weight. Maybe just paint.
good luck
-bix

 

the doors arent lined up correctly because the fenders arent bolted on...im going to rivet in sheet metal over the sunroof. I didnt think truck liner was heavy? well if it is then paint it is

 

I would not worry about it with the weight, you can just spray out the inside of ur car with a hose now

thats exactly what i was thinking too:thumbup:

 

Less KA24, more LS1. Cool project.

 

You have your work cut out for ya there man, best of luck to ya. Course my truck was looking worse then that at one point too.

 

it looks like a lot of work but in fact it isnt really...looks can be deceiving

 

^no it's alot easier since it's going to be pretty much a drift car, the rust through the floor is the biggest thing probably.

 

^^yea it really is the biggest problem. Im either going to go to the junkyard and cut out the section out of a junk s13 or just cut mine out and weld a flat piece of sheet metal

yea i dont know how good the LS1 would be for drifting

 

lol nice team work Ruslan you do the responding ill do the picturer posting!!!..

Its really not that bad the trunk is the worst rust in the car by far. And only because the person I bought it from had that particle cloth crap (the stuff that when it gets wet will never dry) between the tire and the bare metal, so it ate at the metal. The rest of the rust we already took care of it was all surface rust, a one,, two done.

Definitely a tough looking project. Have fun and good luck. You cant really go wrong with either of those engine choices i bet. If I were you I would go for whatever has open doors for you. Either ease of tuning or parts availability or whatev.
Red and gold sounds very drifterish. Could also go all red with gold wheels.

I think the floor holds the frame pretty sturdy and stiff. I would not cut it out if it was me.

 

i seen this car not too long ago. you should have seen how much wiring they removed. there is barely anything left in the harness....

and an ls1 wouldnt be bad for drifting, they are all aluminum, not very heavy at all.

yea the KA24DE motor has a pretty good aftermarket but im probably going to just go with a SR20DET just because it has a GREAT aftermarket...what do you guys think would be better just getting the engine, tranny, ecu and wire harness or get a S13 front clip? the price difference is about $1000 or less
