1992 RMKS13 restoration/build
This post will be edited as I add to thread.
What it looked like when I took delivery of it on September 10, 2020: After being away from the 240SX for several years, I picked up a low mileage, good condition 1992 240SX w/ Super HICAS in the middle of 2020. This thread will serve as my restoration + build thread. Not really building anything, but there's a lot of small things to fix...
Current list of problems to fix on the car include:
More pictures to follow... Added Aug 15: Quote:

Finally got around to resizing and uploading some pictures.
The car was low mileage, but being in a snowy climate it was not immune from surface rust on suspension/drivetrain/exhaust, as well as a couple of common rust spots. 3-ish places of rust needs to be fixed, and it is my intention to do it right all the way through. Rust spots:
My friend Makito at Seven Apple (body shop) is confident he can fix all the areas without having to remove/repaint other major panels. I will probably have him fix the paint/respray/refinish the exterior but it's mostly as needed as we go along. Will leave it as-is for now, the rust isn't spreading and I haven't driven the car in months. November 18 2020: Installed Hella H4 conversion headlights. Still the best mod you can do upgrading from stock 6054 halogens... Before... After... November 20 2020: Replaced the 30 year old tension rod bushings with Nismo units, since that's what is left. Will swap to actual Nismo S13 tension rod later when I am ready to do the remaining suspension work. December 4 2020: As you can see, there's a fair amount of surface rust on the underside. Thankfully the chassis overall is good, every rust spot is an area where I can clean it up or fix.
Replaced stock downpipe gaskets + catalytic converter gaskets. Stock exhaust rusted vs a cleaner version: More updates later as I sort pics and clean up things.

A few things done since the last update:
Ordered a VIS Racing OE replacement rear wing. I plan on using this as a base to restore the factory rear spoiler, and also fixing the rust. The VIS Racing wing is surprisingly close to stock in terms of shape: Also had the stock injectors cleaned and had new hardware installed. These are now the most perfect flowing factory injectors I have ever owned...
