where has your car been? mine has been at dans.....madness insues - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MavericStephenc · 08-20-2008, 11:07 PM

so for the people who know me and why my car is up at dans you know that all I needed to was fix the oil return and some rust under the battery tray. not anymore.

this is basiclly how the car started:

then the engine got pulled ( this I dont have pictures of but the site is already so saturated with pictures of s14's without motors so I wont make it worse.

then there were tubbed fenders/ tucked harness:

NOM NOM NOM:

at this point I need a new core support/ head light brackets....

so weld one up (James did all the fab, but I got to weld a lil bit so here is a pic of me welding)

test fit:

more test fit:

insert random cool picture here:

fitting for v-mount. (note end tanks will be cut and repositioned for better fit and flow:

thats all for now moar to come.

* HUGE THANKS TO DAN, JAMES,JAKE,TOM,WILL,PETE and everyone else who lifted a finger thus far!*

B-B-B-Ballin!

sillyvia13 · 08-22-2008, 12:48 PM

you should REALLY! tape up all the turbo inlets outlets and t body,
NOT a GOOD IDEA to fab up metal and have opening to engine...anything can fall in and KABOOM! accidents happen...

Steve glad to see you car coming together... been since 2001? lol... jk.
Peace Russ

you must have pulled tape off for every pic tho?
cause I dont see any signs of tape anywhere?
hmmmm....
looks killer...

*twistedsymphony* · 09-03-2008, 11:59 AM

I saw this crap in person a couple of weeks ago... some awesome happenings going on

Sorry I couldn't be there last week to help with the harness stuff... did you end up taking care of it or is there still some left to do?

BTW, I got your message. I'll give you a call back after work today.

*DJButton* · 09-03-2008, 08:54 PM

Well since Steve neglected the thread I'll post a few from this past weekends work. We get more done when Steve isn't around anyway.

LongGrain · 09-03-2008, 09:06 PM

v mount is cool

the guys at the shop asked me if i wanted one with my swap, but i didnt have the extra 1200 at the time.

*DJButton* · 09-03-2008, 10:26 PM

Yeah 1200 is a lot to spend on top of other work. Fortunatly for Steve here, he is getting hooked up by Fujii.

*twistedsymphony* · 09-03-2008, 11:00 PM

that hood cut-out is crazy awesome

and damn if those wheels don't look tiny under those gigantic tubs...

RedEvilRPS13 · 09-04-2008, 07:48 AM

Fuji is gonna do a v-mount for the beetle next....oh shit...I dont have radiator...hehehe

Sick work guys!

Its good to see it come together!!!

I10cruiser · 09-04-2008, 08:08 AM

my cali car has been to wisconsin

. . seatle. . .and all along those areas

MavericStephenc · 09-04-2008, 04:20 PM

tomorrow I should be up to extend the harness, and plug it in.
after that it's just little stuff to do

*DJButton* · 09-04-2008, 11:43 PM

Hood is pretty much done! Just need to weld Radiator supports and weld on the blow-off and it's just easy stuff after that.

ByeByeSti · 09-07-2008, 05:16 PM

Holy shit, this just makes me miss mine even more

hopefully by this weekend ill have another 240. either james s13 coupe or gippys zenki! dan; you should have another cookout again like this past spring. and james can cook up some more of those weird little teryaki rib things!

*!Zar!* · 09-07-2008, 05:30 PM

So all that was done without mocking up how the radiator will fit or what?

Maybe I read over it.

I'm confused.

*twistedsymphony* · 09-07-2008, 08:12 PM

they did mock up the radiator... saw it myself, it's just not in the pics.

IIRC it's even setup for quick removal so with just a few bolts the whole front support system can be removed and you can pull the engine right out the front of the car... pretty cool stuff.

and I'm with ByeByeSti we need another BBQ/Swapmeet.

Don't worry, hun. We got it.

Obligatory work in progress picture.

Look Steve! Interior is back!

Tom doing something, since Pete and I are pictured already.

and of course the man who makes metal come alive. Or at least obey his comands.
