Project S14 240sx

Haha that little bit of rubber line at the hydro, before the SS line kills it for me. I know in my mind that it doesn't make a difference, but still, it's not up to the same 'level of baller' that the rest of the car is!

With my hydro (CNC Brakes staging brake, 3/4" bore) I lock my 285/30/18 Pirelli's instantly with Z32 calipers/rotors and street metallic pads.

How do you plan on setting brake bias? Pressure gauges on both ports?

[Acidz]

it will be set with the wilwood bias thing i have to add or remove pressure

[Acidz]

haven't done much just waitin for my papers so i can get this thing on the road....

anyways regardless i gave the car a wash last weekend and forgot i didn't post any pics after a nice wash....didn't have time to clean the engine bay, but still looks ok.

Custom = cool. You = very cool (no gayness intended)

AWESOME!! It's nice to see a build actually get completed.


Something is off about your rear wheels....do you plan to drop it a bit lower?

[Acidz]

well we still have to setup the suspension and stuff since things are a bit diff from the 07 setup

Well boys, the 240 hit the road this weekend for the first time & at 13psi its one hell of a ride! I'm so pumped to hit the road again, but haven't had the chance due to rain and also moving my Q45 TB angle a bit as we were having problems with it hitting the hood....Scary shit...LOL

anyways everything has been delt with and i hope to be back to tuning it tonight or tmr.

just have a quick pic of the hood pins installed....that is all

Ill try and have some videos soon.

[dori_sil8t]

awsome... just awsome

[Acidz]

So...Back again boys!!!!

Was out last Thursday and started to smell fuel inside the cabin area! It wasn’t a fun drive home at all from all the fuel just dumping into the cabin, but made it home and parked it for the night. Friday morning I decided to remove the rear delete and get under the carpet and find fuel everywhere!!! I was being lazy about building my cage as I didn’t wanna take everything apart again, but looks like the best time to do so now. [lol]

Anyway we got started on the car Saturday & had everything out and sound deadening all removed using dry ice. Once Sunday came around got outside for a bit and bent up the main hoop & stop there until Friday, Saturday and Sunday which I have off so I hope to have the cage done by this weekend

[sbanzer123]

What was the problem with the fuel lines?

[Acidz]

the fitting came loose or it wasnt tight

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

where do you find dry ice pellets? Every time I remove sound deading we have to like bricks and its annoying.

[Acidz]

Back again Boys!!

friday we spent the day pulling foots motor out of is GTR & let me tell you it was fun. lol Saturday & Sunday we really didn't do much as we had other things to attend to, but none the less we have the plates welded in and also the main hoop painted and tacked in place.















ya 1.5" x .120 wall DOM

[Acidz]

well boys!! this is all for the cage as of now!!! dont feel like makin anythign else right now the car is stiff....i love it might add another bar at the bottom from one part of the hoop to the other. i love the ass end so stiff!

gotta paint the two rear bars and parts of the main hoop

Thanks everyone that gave me a hand tonight on gettin it back alive! THANKS!!!!

all i need is an s14 carpet now!!! lol

[Acidz]

well boys got a bit of bad news!!! lol

last night the u-joint on my driveshaft said its last words. Today we took the shaft out and checked it out and it didn't end up looking good at all. It's missing like half the cup! lol That's ok i'm sure will have it up and running tmr once we get our u-joint tmr afternoon

[Devens240]

so let me get this straight... you put all this work into this car with plans to sell it immediately the entire time?

[Acidz]

LOL...it's always for sale....

i have a new build, i just picked up another 240sx you will see a new build page soon

[Acidz]

So after fixing the ujoint in the shaft we still had a bit of a shake in the rear end. As you can see from the pics below we pulled the diff out and checked it all out, it came to our attention that the input shaft on one of the sides was slipping in and out and that the clip that goes in the gear was missing. Now we decided to check out the diff, the ring and case around that gear was beat up do to wear. Also it came to our attention that an s13 diff could be used just by changing the rear cover and so we went to check it out and it doesn't seem like it’s possible due to the ears on the s13 diff being smaller.

Anyways we are now trying to find an s14 diff or a j30 diff to put in the rear end

[Acidz]

over the past weekend i broke my u-joint on back of the shaft @ the track cut it right off lol...anyways i got everything fixed & the car is back up and running.

The plan is to leave it the way it is right now and next season im upgrading to a bigger rear end and a lot bigger u-joint to support the power levels i plan to run

[Acidz]

Thanks Ronnie FOR THE PICS!!!!
