Project S14 240sx
 
I had one just like this one a few years ago, before I got my DSM and loved it, but it died a very unfortunate death. Black ice is a real killer.

So tonight I just picked up another '95 240sx. It needs a little work, but it's nothing I can't handle. It's got 114k miles on the clock, but the speedometer isn't connected, so I'm unsure of actual mileage but other than very minor hail damage the body is about 90% perfect.

The problems to be fixed:
Speedometer doesn't work
Missing trunk panels and a couple center console trim pieces
CEL is on, He told me that the MAF probably needs to be cleaned
questionable wiring under the hood
Power steering reservoir leaks
Grille is missing
Exhaust leak at downpipe/midpipe junction
The back of the hood is propped up like all the drifters do
The trunk doesn't quite line up
Front bumper is zip tied on
Suede headliner needs repair
Windshield wiper motor and wiper arms were removed for some odd reason

Mods the car already has:
Megan racing header
unknown midpipe that has a resonator
HKS Hi-Power 4" catback
Stance coilovers
Unknown brand short ram intake
Welded diff
Upgraded tie rod ends
Some kind of Lexus wheels


I'll post up pics tomorrow, it was too dark to take any by the time I got it home.

nice just like the old one I remember, time to get some jdm parts and a rb25 in there :)

very nice! we also got a S14 project but it's been sitting and waiting for an SR20det for 5 years :(. What are your plans for it? I still got a dream list for it also. These cars are definitely pretty easy to work on.

Call me weird, but I like the CA18DET swap :D

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
RB25det + 350Z rear + 350z front/rear brake assembly + TEIN coilovers ....oh...there is so much more on that list I don't even want to think about it!

Hows it drive with that welded diff? :)

Swapping 240s is dumb if you're just going to use another 4cyl. turbo KAs work GREAT.

I like these cars, will you let me drive it sometime? Turbo it!

Look at the pics in the add. Haha

Looks pretty nice! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

N/A 4 banger with a 4" exhaust, lmao. I hope that just means the tip.

Kevin 1G Drummer 02-10-2010 10:56 PM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Yeah, the kid drifted with it. He said he went to 5 or 6 events last summer, I don't plan on drifting it. I'll kick the back end around every now and then for fun, but I probably won't go to a drift day with it.

My plans for the car are to just get everything fixed with it and drive it for now, but eventually I'll be getting a t3 housing for the GT30R I already have and putting that on the KA, with supporting mods of course. If the KA ever blows, then who knows what I'll do with it. Hell, even a wideblock 2.4 is an option ;)

The car doesn't do too bad with the welded diff, but tight corners definitely suck. That will be getting swapped out for an LSD sometime soon.

Upgraded brakes are definitely on the list too. Those stock brakes are fucking TINY! I'm not sure what I'll go with, probably Z32 aluminum caliper setup, or maybe R33 Skyline brakes if I can find a set for a decent price.

No, the tip is 5". Basically everything after the header is 4". Don't ask me why it's so damn big...

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Is that a challenge? hahaha I've got a long way to go to catch up with all the JDMness of your Evo

TkrPerformance 02-10-2010 11:18 PM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
yes it is. It will be up on jacks soon in are garage waiting on a s15 front clip and a rb25 and a gt 4202 ;)

Constant_Project21 02-10-2010 11:18 PM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Rhd s14 240sx....then some crazy jdm motor (rb25det *cough*), then you and mark can have a jdm off hahaha

Or do a nice 97 kouki front end conversion, as long as they're done right, they look bomb.

Kevin 1G Drummer 02-10-2010 11:24 PM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Haha RHD and an RB25 would be badass, but they're so expensive, and if it blows I'd be fuckt. A Kouki front end would be pretty sweet though, might consider it if I find a deal on one.

2jz it.

But it's no drifter til you got them stretched tiressss + low offset on there. :)

Kevin 1G Drummer 02-11-2010 12:43 AM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Wide wheels are useless if you stretch skinny tires onto them. That's the most retarded concept I've ever seen, and will absolutely not be happening on this car. I'll put my summer tires and wheels on it this spring and see how it looks. a 17x8 wheel with a 35 offset shouldn't look too terrible.

b00sted_spyder 02-11-2010 12:58 AM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
At least staggered the wheels? Some fat rear tires would make it look like beast. 97-98 tail lights would look awesome with it. Also the OEM front lip with OEM fogs if it doesn't have it.

awd-drifter 02-11-2010 01:44 AM

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
I hear to do a JDM drift, all you gotta do is kick the clutch, hold the e-brake and you're in the JDM drift...DORIFTOOOH!

or the entire front end change to a 97-98 so it doesn't look like a lowered Camry.

Doesn't sound like he's too concerned about the style of it though.

hey, at least it's WHITE! ;)

Re: Project S14 240sx
 
Staggered wheels might be in the future, depends if a good deal comes along. Same with the 97-98 front end. It's something I'd like to do eventually, but there's no rush on it. As far as the tail lights, on my last 240 I just tinted them and they looked pretty sick, so that's what I'll be doing with this one too.

And yeah, the DSM is up for sale again.

I'm just about to go out and snap some pics of it, so I'll post em up when I get back.
