I like it, the engine bay is nice. Did you get a sweet deal or have you just been dreaming of an s13?

Dont know much about the s13, jsut wanted to know what box that is behind the hand brake, like a secondary ECU?

On a secondary note, I have been in one or two s13s, and I will NEVER EVER understand why they carpeted the glove box.

 

very nice needs some exterior loving...

 

I believe that box is for the stupid automatic seatbelts like in a 90-93 integra.

 

I looked through my options, I have a 93 si 4ws lude for my daily driver and instead of making that my project I decided to do a 240sx. I liked what I was seeing from the research I did. I got the chassis for $500 including the tranny.

I wanna say its the box for the retarded seat belts (ones that slide back when you connect them).

Yes the exterior is rough, but its straight for the most part. I am not worried about the exterior yet. First step, building and turbocharging the motor, second step, suspension

 

sweet keep updates i love these cars!!!

 

is it just me or do u have a rx7 frontend???

 

And this is why I got the engine for free

lol its a 91 and up 240 front..someone correct me if im wrong

 

Yep, 91-94. Mines a 92

 

Is this Justin's old S13?...the guy who used to work at Urban Import?

 

Yes, it is

 

 

Going KA-T is the way to go imo. It takes a little more effort but its worth it in the end. I had a 1st gen Altima with basic bolt-ons and it was a torquey little thing

 

Yea, I looked into the sr20det's and all that but decided against it for my own reasons. My startup goal is around 400whp. The motor is definitely overbuilt for that goal, but I wont stop there.

 

Lookin good so far man. Good luck on the build. Keep us updated

 

For some reason I love "trailer" pics showing cars getting brought home. Looks like you're making some good progress. 400HP should definately be fun in that. I look forward to reading more updates.

I have the nearly the same pic of my SI coming home

I think you made the right choice not making the prelude your project. Far more potential in the nissan. rear wheel drive, easy to make big power. And a shell for only 500, not too shabby!

 

Will keep you guys updated... I will have lots of pics and video when it gets moving

 

good project car keep us updated

 

Nice! Looks like a killer build. What are you going to use for engine management? I have a KA-T as well ( S14 )

 

AEM EMS

I think I see you on ka-t.org right now

 

looks cool, not into nissans, but this looks bad ***

 

damn looks like a fun project

 

Those are some long-*** rods. KA, right?
