Another new guy

Greetings all! Just found this place. I recently acquired a 90 240 coupe, and I'm looking for all the info I can find. I'm not a complete stranger to cars or even to Nissans; my daily driver is a Classic Sentra SE-R with a JDM engine swap (NA, not turbo) and all the bolt-ons; but I'm new to the 240 and the FR format. I hope to be welcome around here, even with stupid questions

Very straight, with a few spots of surface rust. Interior is dirty and has factory-standard ripped driver's seat (I'll be getting good seats anyway). Other than not running it needs a new speedo/HUD (in the mail), ashtray (in the mail), dimmer switch (need to find).

I'm hoping the problem is simple. It cranks but won't start. I've already replaced cap/rotor/wires/plugs, fuel filter, checked injectors with noid light, verified spark, siphoned old bad gas out of tank and replaced with new good gas.

Plans are:
SR20 swap, either redtop or blacktop S13, FMIC, Koyo, etc
Tein suspension - haven't decided which one yet
Z32 brakes in front, stainless lines all around
Rota C8 or Subzeroin bronze, 16x7, Falken Azenis
Silvia front end
Paint
All the little stuff like short shifter, oil filter relocation, etc.

And whatever else I think of It'll take a while, but that's the fun of it anyway.

While I'm at it, here's a pic of my daily driver, which is nearly finished.



My site details what I've done to it. All that's left are cams, brakes, a paint job, and a little bit of powdercoating.
