You could also use small eyelets with wires crimped/soldered to them and place them under the screws for each gauge. Everything is clearly labeled so it'll be easy to figure out what trace goes where...and you can remove it in the future if need be.

I figured it out! Just had to sacrifice a s13 cluster plug and now I have the pigtail. Next step is to start digging through wiring diagrams to verify a couple of the pins (as you can see most are labeled). I have rear lower control arms on their way then I can assemble the rolling suspension and get the car to a shop for the last of the fabrication work.

This shit will be epic

I am closing on my first house next week. It has a 3000sqft shop with a 10k lb car lift! Also has 2500sqft cover for parking. This means I can finally work on a concrete slab instead of on plywood in the dirt! I also sold my sr20 swap and so a vh45 is going into my s13 coupe right now with a custom all metal widebody since I've widened it 4.5" front and rear for the PBM suspension I put on it. It is posted up on v8nissans. Trying to get the s13 on the road by March 16th for autocross and drift season. Then I promise 100% of my spare time and resources will be put into the kouki. I am learning how to widebody on the s13 so I can do the kouki right the first time! Trying to fit 315's in the rear and 275's up front.

Got the first ball joint adapters in and it looks like it will work perfectly. He finished the other one this week. Now I can put the suspension under the car and move it to an actual shop!!!!

Made a lot of progress today! Now to duplicate all of the same mistakes on the drivers side so they will match!

These are 285/45/18's

[Livid_240sx]

For some reason all this time I thought this was a hatch. Lol, would have been bomb if it was! Either way it's legit and I'm blown away. Great job ms n

My son has the 1991 Hatch, I have the 92 coupe and the 97. Trying to get the s13 finished so I can learn to paint on it. Then paint my son's car before he leaves for boot camp at the end of May. The s13's previous owner had a rb20 swap in it. Pulled it and sold it to me as a shell with a vh45. I worked on it, sold it to a friend, he started a sr20 swap, sold it back to me and I finished the swap. Mentioned to a friend I might be interested to sell the sr swap and by the end of the day I had a buyer. This swapped all of my priorities around and so this VH45 is going into it so I can drift and autox. The other vh45 will now be rebuilt for boost for the AWD kouki. All while working three jobs and remodeling this house we are closing on!

[Livid_240sx]

Oh man, you're ridiculous! Haha probably the person who is busier than me and my full time job and 17 credit hours for school. Hopefully all our hard work will pay off, right?

I sure hope so. I got married and had my son at 19. I've worked 2 and 3 jobs most of my life. I regret not spending more time with him as he has grown up. I thank God that he has turned into such a good man despite having me as a Dad. These projects have been a way for us to spend time with one another and for both of us to learn how to work on cars. I am glad that I have started this 240 thing as I have met and made great friends that I never would had without these crazy projects!!!

[onehundredoctane]

Cool that you're still making progress!

[Livid_240sx]

Yeah I sold my 240 hatch so I could take a few extra classes this semester so I can graduate early next year. I'm just so happy I already have a job lined up after I graduate so I can buy a new one and (and a few other cars) and do my projects right. My old 240 was being done half assed and I don't want it to be done that way. Best of luck pokey! You're an inspiration and hope everything goes well! Keep us posted!

I want to see this run already, I've been checking just about everyday for updates on this build since day one.

Must be nice having a son with same interest as you. My son is not interested in anything but video games. Keep up the good work. Need more update.

Buy him some car video games and rent some car movies dude. I wasn't into cars until I started playing the original midnight clubs and need for speed undergrounds and watched fast and the furious. Get him Grand Tourismo and Forza.

Then mod a 240 with him in real life and in the game.

i thought you gave up

[pokey_]

I no I haven't given up. Father passed in an accident so have been running his construction company by myself nights and weekends, still have my full-time job in IT and came across a good deal on a house with a shop. Just a temporary shift in priorities..... I have to take care of my Mom as she has always taken care of me..... Please be patient with me I won't let you down!!!

[rangerjavi]

Sorry to hear about your father's passing my condolences to you and your family, but yes priorities first I can agree and respect that taking car of your mother.

[pokey_]

Here is a couple of pictures from in the shop.



and another



He is still moving his stuff out as you can see. Once he moves out I can start moving in and can get serious about finishing this project up finally!!!!

Now that's a garage
