Project S14 240sx

[turbotalon1g]

Nice, well if u get the itch to drive I'm right up the highway, I'm stuck at home with no wheels.
I have seen the older 240s like a 92 and I loved the styling both in and out, I haven't seen too many of these.

On Saturday morning I went over to the guy's house I got the car from and picked up a few more pieces like the brackets for the rear seat back, various interior trim pieces, glove box, and the stock wing.

So far today I got the back seat and rear dash trim panel back in, still missing the seat belts though. I don't have many spare buts and bolts laying around, and they didn't come with the car so that was about all I was able to do today. Gonna go to Mark's tomorrow and get a few more things taken care of.

From what I've been researching, the speedometer should work if I just plug in the sensor (provided it's there and the harness isn't cut). It still has the auto ECU, so that's why the CEL is on. It throws something like 6 codes and won't idle when the engine isn't at operating temp.

So on the list for tomorrow:
Raise up the coilovers so that the exhaust doesn't drag over every little bump
Try to get the speedo and reverse lights to work
Get the wing re-installed
Get the lower shift boot installed
Get the massive exhaust leak fixed (the header to downpipe only has one bolt holding it together)


List of parts I need to find sooner than later:
Radio bezel and shifter boot and trim panel
Manual ECU
Plastic fender liners
Trunk interior pieces
Passenger side kick panel

Hows that welded diff for just driving around?

It goes sideways very easy.
I know there is talk of a s15 rear end or a 1.5 lsd in the cars future

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

It's not really too much different than a clutched LSD in the noises it makes around tight corners at low throttle, but if the roads are anything less than dry, the back end steps out VERY easily

That's a clean s14! I like your uber ground clearance! lol So how about that CA18DET swap?!

Passenger side kick panel you should look at nistune thought that was really cool thing to come out for the Nissan's

Haha no CA18 swap here. If anything gets swapped in, it's gonna be a RB25. I'm still looking into tuning options, I just want the manual ecu for now so that my CEL goes away.

Today I tried to get the speed sensor and reverse lights working, but the dumbshit kid fucked up the wiring so bad that that I'm gonna end up just rewiring everything for the trans. He cut the connectors off the sensors for the transmission, and completely removed everything for the auto harness outside of the wiring in the dash harness, including the wires and connectors I need to reuse.

But today I did get the rear seat bolted in, still missing the seat belts though
Got the spoiler installed
fixed the exhaust leak, but it's still damn loud
Got the glove box installed
Got the lower shift boot installed

Tomorrow I'm gonna raise up the coilovers and maybe try to find a way to get a hanger installed somewhere in the middle of the exhaust system considering that the only places the entire system is mounted is to the head, the front section of the cat-back has one hanger, and the axle back has 3 hangers.
