a long road to go but i want to have it running by the end of the month... i have another parts car in the back yard that is donating its vital parts for the cause... well at least till the machine shop that is doing my work on the motor comes to get it...

sweet man! glad u got it running again

Wikd240 has a ton of knowledge about 240s, bodywork in particular, hes been helpin me craft a custom widebody kit for my s14, given me tons of helpful info! props and good luck ;D

everything is looking good man, good luck in the future

i have more pics and im taking the motor out again... so i will be doing a few walk throughs on some things that i hear people ask questions about all the time... now if i can just get my new header and a few other parts while it is out then we shall see how my plans are working out... i dont mind helping people who want to do things t their car... not to mention i have motives for you helping you on your s14... i might buy a 3rd 240...lol...

Not bad man
But that headlight looks so sd


Is that leather?

thats why im changing them to eastbear versions... it dont look like that any more... i did the sleepy eye on em and swapped out that jacked headlight and fender...the motor is back out of it and swapping the crank rods and pistons...now i should be able to drive it...

looks like a fun project :D

okay we have updates... this weekend i finish the assembly of my motor... mods are forged pistons rods and custom machined crank (knife edged counter weights machined down...) head and intake ported and polished... ca18det springs and retainers installed... jwt cams ecu and cobra mafs and dc header( to be installed after the break in period)...the block was punched out .05mm over stock and decked... metal head gasket and nissan factory gaskets were used for the motor... i will be putting it all together this weekend... ( i am playing hookie from work to do this... i have also replaced the pass fender and the headlight already...it will be running by sunday... will have pics up soon....

ITS ALIVE...ALIVE i tell you... got the motor in saturday... worked till midnight and then finished and started it on sunday... i must admit... so far i am happy with all the work and time it has taken me to get this na build finished... i have 3900 into the motor and will have some dyno info on it after i have put 1000 miles on it and i swap out the ecu exhaust and intake systems... it is quite snappy from off idle up to 3500... that is as far as i have reved it so far... after 1000 miles im going to pull it apart clean everything put on all my other mods and then i will have some info on how it runs... here is what it looks like now...

awesome...

Umm okay??? Did the engine blow?? or what? Is it stick now??

the motor is still running and i have put 120 miles on it so far... i have a very short drive to work every day... i am keeping the car an auto... i am 36 years old with 100 years of abuse to my knees... so an auto is the best choice for me... when i bought the car it had a rod knock... so i decided to rebuild it... then found other issues and decided to go for a total na rebuild of the motor... and 3900 bucks later we will see if i have reached my goal of 250 whp...

awesome dude! great job! :thumb:

So whats your list of mods so far


Nice pruple head :D
