Project S14 240sx

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I was thinking about painting them orange, then scraping it off the Nissan letters so that they're silver again.

That sounds cool! Should polish the nissan after scraping off the paint that'd look sweet.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Yeah, right now the letters have a kinda machined finish, but I think I might polish them.

very cool brake system. My friend owns a 96 240 and I drove it around the block...those 300zx calipers w/ stainless steel lines come to a quick stop pretty easily. Definitely love how the 240sx feels compared to my car. Every think about painting the calipers........Takata Green?! lol.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Haha no Takata green. I'm thinking I'll go with an orange theme with this car. Maybe get the valve cover powder coated, I've seen harness bars for pretty cheap, Maybe a few other things here and there.

I got the differential swapped out yesterday/today. What should have been a 2 or 3 hour job turned into a 2 day job. This should bring a new meaning to a welded diff...

Whoever did this must have not wanted to ever take the diff apart. The axles were welded into the side gears, as well as the spider gears. I ended up getting some carbide sawzall blades and cut the axle out of the diff so that I could re-use the housing. Used a chop saw to cut the axle out of the other side, then ground enough of it off to get the ring gear/diff out of the carrier housing. After much cleaning and new output shaft seals, everything went back together smoothly. On to more pics!

that was such a pain in the ass to do. the honda kid messed a ton of thing up on the car.

we also raised the back of the car 1.5in. it looks a lot better now. it has alot less neg camber now and is at a good hight

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Oh yeah, forgot about the suspension raising. The car feels like it rides a little better now too. And it's nice to not have the tires rubbing the 1/4 panels around hard corners.
