LISA'S Old Nissan 240sx Coupe Build

Originally from this link.

Then the last owner disrespected it, or drove it till he got his money out of it. It was sligtly wrecked in the rear quarter panel when i got it. Most of its bad ass parts were long gone. It was parted out, and was about to be hauled off to a scrap yard. (I have owned the car twice now)

This is the last time this thing goes together!

HOW IT WAS WHEN MY FREIND BOUGHT IT OFF OF LISA!

Deleted pictures, cause everyone does not read.




How i got it. (first time)






It was since then PARTED OUT, and was a SHELL! No engine, no front, no NOTHING. I been taking over building it from the ground up. (UPDATE SOON) It now has another sr, and widebody, work wheels, etc etc. Pictures soon.

Sr20det engine, fresh overhaul!

Had the Square g33 wheels on for about 5 days...


New shoes

I found a GREAT condition DMAX S13 hood....needless To say...i was very grateful to have the opportunity to purchase it. Yes, I am looking for a set of Brick headlights...






Currently waiting on a Instant Gentleman kit to come in, then having custom bumper supports fabricated and kit installed.

THEN PAINT!

[CoupedupRB]

In remembrance of my old S13 Silvia. I Think I will paint it the same color it was.

I am open to clean colors, ideas are appreciated.

[ReallyBroke]

That car will look great any color you paint it.

I think you should lose the rocket bunny wing, makes the car look pretty tacky...

What brakes and fenders are you running?

I disagree, I think the wing looks great.

[CoupedupRB]

I am running R33 front calipers, and Z32 rear calipers (rears not installed yet)

Man, where's the old rep when you need it?

[koukikat180sx]

I'm glad you saved it and turned it around.

[brndck]

Wow clean! Yeah once you get some bricks it's gonna be $$$!!!
I like the RB wing. Please just remove the Megan sticker.

I never put any stickers on this car. So I can remove the Megan one. Funny cause it does not have a single Megan part on it.

Updates, I am currently installing my PBM hydro ebrake set up, and I got some Circult Sports LED tail lights, AEM Tru Boost, AEM wideband 02.

I plan to mount a bluetooth, touch screen, navigation radio in the glove box.

Sorry you see it that way.

Sadly you have to start somewhere, and this car was a wrecked shell...with nothing going for it execpt a scrap yard...

[CoupedupRB]

Here is my last car, as i am building again...

[Lockiess15]

Do explain exactly how this is ruined? Should be grateful this was saved from a scrap yard!

From the second owner to the current owner, the car was taken from a stock looking clean coupe into a haggard "track" car. While aggressive track looking cars can look good, to some people it ruins the cleanliness and simplicity of what this coupe used to look like.

I'm not a big fan of the execution of this car but to each his own.

[FaLKoN240]

How is a clean Silvia front end determined to be a victim of the scrapyard?

I'd also like to point out that quarter panel dent looks like it was made because some asshat thought it would be a good idea to OVERPULL the rear fenders. To the point that the qp would buckle.

Throwing money at a car doesn't constitute a good build, nor does compiling a list of parts if the execution isn't done well.

It looked pretty good with those Z wheels. At least it was all one color.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since Mike did I thought I'd chime in.

No, unfortunatly they guy who ruined it didn't have a build thread. This thing was REALLY nice when Lisa had it, then it went threw 3 or 4 other owners before Coupedup up got it.

this car not too long ago had no engine, fucked up quarter panels, and stock front end.

...don't think he did this to a clean car, it was FAR from clean.

the car is nothing like is was when Lisa had it, and it might not be your taste, but it is some peoples taste, and most people would agree that it is a sick car.

[sleepyS14se]

wow this thread misled me a bit... im not gonna comment, except WOW

[juvi22003]

I was misled a lil bit too lol, but looks awesome...good work !

i didnt realize there was a middle-man

i didnt want to stir up a shit show here, i just see the before and the after photos and said "this looks worse than before"

with that said, the overfenders... theres really no excuse to cut up a perfectly good body but, i understand if you just didnt care and wanted the car wider. at this point, it really doesnt matter, right? just do what makes you happy.

my advice, read the silbeer blog. it will give you a better idea how to do it right. not saying you're doing it wrong.... or maybe im kinda saying that. anyway, just read that blog.

It's funny how "clean" is just adding wheels and coils and an exhaust. The quarter panels were toast so the only thing you could do was add over fenders. Understandable.

I think it looks better now, but don't go too over board. Keep on doing what you're doing. No one zilvia likes change so they'll get over it.

[CoupedupRB]

Haha, posting owns me.

Ok guys. This car was a JUNKED shell at one point. It has a pretty good hit on the right rear quarter panel (not pictured)

Its going to paint very soon, I ordered my Instant Gentleman kit 2 months ago, it comes in tomorrow

It did not have a silvia front, not a single part was left on it...
