I’m from Hamilton and am re-starting work on my 1990 240SX coupe.
I had originally bought a CA18DET for it incomplete, and spent 2 years sourcing all of the sensors and wiring for it, only to find the motor was already pooched. It idled for about 10 minutes with a serious rod knock, and then threw a rod in the #3 cylinder.
After sitting for another couple of years, a friend of mine and I decided to attempt to resurrect the 240, so I’ve picked up a silvia front end, and a clip from a JDM S14. I’ve got the car completely stripped right now and have some serious rust repair to do… Canadian winters can really do a number on a car over 18 years!!!
The car doesn’t look like much right now, but we’re hoping to have a nice clean VVT coupe in the future. I’ll post some pics of the build.
This was it with the CA18DET installed:
This is how it sits today:
This is the donor car:
This is my other baby (money pit )
I’m a member of the SON board, but thought I’d sign up here as an additional source of information, parts, etc.
I have some things left over from my S14 clip and from my old CA swap that I will post for sale.
