Okay, so my wife and I now are the proud owners of a new car YEAR: 1994MAKE: NissanMODEL: 240sx ConvertibleENGINE: KA24DETRANSMISSION: Auto (all verts are auto, but will be taking 5 speed from the coupe)MILEAGE: 160XXXTITLE: CleanCONDITION: Getting better CURRENT MODS: 2" lowering springs, KYB GR2 shocks, AEM intake, aftermarket muffler welded to stock pipingCOST: Blown SR and transmission
here is a list of what I did to it the day after we got it (Day 2):

R34 GTR Seats
Redline Goods Ebrake and Console Covers

Added HKS Air Filter in place of AEM and took off AEM Sticker
Found a convertible boot and bought it should be here next week (hopefully)
PICS:
Sits pretty flush, needs to be a little lower and I need to take out some camber, but fit pretty good.
Another engine pic
DAY 3:
Rear 5 Lug On
Nismo LMGT4 Wheels On
Brakes bled
Rear coilovers ordered as one of the rear collars on the Kei Office coilovers is seized and will not budge
So, alot has changed since my last update:
Rear coilovers are on…
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Now, for today:
I got the rear all buttoned up.
Front coilovers on, and partially rolled the fenders. Still need to relocate wiring harnesses :roll:
Sideskirts and rear valances hung (not greatly but they are on there)
To Do:
Still need to put the front lip on too, and possibly lower the front a smidgen more…
PICS:
Got the front lip put on but had some trouble w/ the other sideskirt/rear valance, so still working on that… but I think this thing is awesome… It will be hard as hell to drive around here (NY, out in the sticks) but it looks killer…
PICS:
A few more pics…
Radiator Cooling Panel
I now have to tear the front end apart, and get the silvia front put on along w/ a few other things, but that could take a while
Alright, so I got the silvia front end on the vert, and fixed/reran/rerouted my wiring…
front bumper is yet to be painted, and the fenders need LOTS of body work, but I like it…
It’s been about a month and a half… thanks
Very nice work. Keep it up!

holy fuck you went to town on that thing fast and I love every second of it! Great looking vert man keep the pics and progress coming!
looks great. i love verts
would be awesome caged
Just get the alignment of the hood and headlights straightened out and this thing will be perfect.
well, it needs alot of body work still, so when that gets done everything will be aligned…

I think it would look siqq without a spoiler.
bad ass!
agreed on the no spoiler, or atleast a stock one. I have an origin cf lip spoiler that I am planning on putting on my coupe trunk…
as for the engine I am doing a small sr build… nothing special, just using up a bunch of parts I have lying around.
Looks good man. Never seen a 240 vert.
Nice car, I love those wheels!

looks good! what did u end up doing with the zenki? i see u have a lot of parts off it on here
zenki, is still in my possession, I traded the blown long block off of it for this car…
I am planning on trying to just put a ka back in it and make it a daily…
Not bad though, needs some rust repair, but frame is AWESOME.

I have no urge to fix this top as I will only be driving this car when it is nice anyways…
