1992 S13 240sx Hatch BUILDDD

[lockhaim]

Man I have not been on this forum for a while-- This is my 1992 Nissan 240sx S13 build thread. While the body has 134,xxx miles on it, the motor is a 1997 KA24de with about 90,xxx miles. I purchased the vehicle from its 2nd owner as a Salvage title, due to the rear drivers side quarter panel being backed into which broke a tail light. The exhaust also needed replaced, and then still needed to be inspected before I could title and plate it.


-Purchased a brand new Megan Racing stainless steel catback exhaust but lost the pics of the day i got it in the mail because my phone had to be reset :/
-Decided to remove the tint of the tail lights only to find that half of it wouldn't come off of the center piece, so I re painted that but left the tint off of the actual tail lights.
-Bought a Carbon Fiber hood, then decided I didn't like the hood on my stock 240. I'll wait until i get a swapped motor and a bodykit with paint job.
-In November 2010 the KA blew, meaning it would sit in the garage from Nov. 2010 - Apr. 2011 where it would get a KA24de from a 1997 S14 240sx and a set of 18" XXR 962's (one bent rim). I acquired some random aftermarket sideskirts and 2pc. rear bumper painted in primer black. Still have never put the kit on the car.
-The estimate for the back rear body work was everywhere from $600-$1,000. My friend's dad did it for $300 which included paint.. Looks amazing now!
They day i get the car back from him I rearend a woman who cant drive in the rain and merge onto a roundabout. Pulls out then slams on her brakes half way in. This is the ensuing damage.
-Then I got a flat tire.. only to find out that my spare tire was worse. Because the front end is lowered on a donut, and the rear isnt lowered at all this is the beautiful wheel gap. I cannot wait to fix this.
-Just replaced the battery in December.
-Jan. 28 I bought 4 new Hankook Ventus V4 Concept tires with 215/35R18s in the front and 225/40R18s in the rear. Need an alignment still because apparently 2 of the tie rods are going bad and need to be replaced: the passenger's side outer tie rod end and the driver's side inner tie rod boot. The parts cost $35-- to have them do it it is $250-- o_O
Im new to wrenching on cars so my girlfriend's brother-in-law is teaching me how to change tie rods, then doing the Lowering Rear Springs and Struts.

I just bought a set of headlights, only using passenger side if someone needs a driver's side complete assembly. Am also buying a replacement fender. All I will need is a front bumper and hood. I also should be getting my latest package from Enjuku on thursday... 180sx Kouki "Type-X" complete tail light set!

I really want to swap an RB20/25 into it but I may change my mind and go SR depending on if I want to do a Type-X replica or not. I would like to get a full 180sx Kouki Type-X aero kit, but that could very well change into a different kit. Oh and don't worry I plan on painting the body kit before having a professional fit it to the car (unlike a lot of ricers in Columbus/Cincinnati). I also need to get my windows tinted. I wouldn't mind a paint job but that wouldn't be for at least two years.

If you have an S13 hood, front bumper, RB20det parts, or type-x aero pm me and tell me your asking price!
