Denek Nice 240, looks clean and awesome, loving the kouki rear end, you only need wirecutters for sleepy eyes? Gave me inspiration to pry my headlights open since they are stuck shut. 😃 GL with your build waiting for that big update.
Sleepin_mOnkey So here's the big update So let me speak first about my JDM stuff.When i was ordering the R32 wheels i also became with their shop owner beacuse he was hwlping with some parts from japan, and while we are talking about some cars i mentioned my 240 and then he offered me his old Sr20 that he used to roll in his S15 but at some point he decided to swap an VK56 into he and then the Sr Got himself homeless So i got he at the second day with my pretedended daily that turned into an full different build."and the wheels!" so when i put my kouki Jdm tail and imagine an full different car i decided that my meister's wouldnt fit the final car so i got myself an Set NISMO'S Lmgt1 INSIDE THE BOX.So The final price for the engine and the wheels became V$5000. Kind pricy ABSLOTULY NO considering the ton Of mod's.By first an GTX3567R Turbo feeded By an Neukin Mainfold,Greddy oil pan,Nismo Cams,NGK Super premium IRIDIUM Spark Plugs,Nismo Fuel Rail and 550cc injectors Controlled By an Megasquirt3. So about the painting i decided to do an Two tone Color Scheme That:engine Bay,roof ,roof wing,Underbody... in Pure black and the car body Is painted At the KYO for who doesn't is the iconical color called:Special Silver used at the legendary Nismo R34 Z-Tune

Added 1 hour 31 minutes later: Hey guys i am considering of getting this https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/5971255436.html What do you think?
GoverningNick In California, if it's 1976 or newer, you have to smog it. You can get smog-exempt 280zs (My dad has a 75 280z irl lol).
Sleepin_mOnkey So guys sorry that i leaved for a while but now i got all free time going into the Driftcar. Now let's talk abou what i've done, by first i remove the entire body kit and interior so i can prep the Chassis,First the cuttting process that hit the fenders,engine bay and the front subframe,The part 2 was sandblast the entire chassis so i can remove the little surface rust For now i am finishing everthing that should be welded the only thig that's missing is the rollcage that pushed for tomorrow.
Sleepin_mOnkey So afther i done the sandblasted the 240 i started the racecar preparation process so today i begin adjusting my driving position ,afther that i welded the rollcage and added the old merc seat for the passanger side now i am finishing all the parts that involve working with metal in the car. # Zero : S13 Gang!!! Looking nice man. For sure bro Spoiler: Metal materials -V$200 Seat from junkyard and restoring -V$400
Sleepin_mOnkey So last day i guess that all the Chassis metal work was finished :thumbsup: , so in order to stiffing and reinforcing the body i welded all the stress points using a process that consist of Grinding,Torching and Welding.Also fitted the suspension and done the first test of the angle
Driftphantom This has all the makings of a full blown competition car! Are you running a wisefab angle kit?
Sleepin_mOnkey # Driftphantom : This has all the makings of a full blown competition car! Are you running a wisefab angle kit? Actualy is an custom made by an friend that give more angle but he based on the wisefab one's
Sleepin_mOnkey So today the prepping for the engine beggin early.By first i reinstalled my dash with all the reinforcements,fancyness (unesseçary weight) already with an race spec gauge box with the extra info of the engine and two Ebc/loggers, the instruments that are mounted up on the panel are the critical Engine monitiorating ones.So to power all of the perifericals and pass event spections i also made an panel for an general key,Switches,Radio, Fire button... The last thing that went on the interior was my MINT custom built Hydro E-brake.So the entire car is ready for the engine that i've been building and prepping to install,But i decided to run with an Rear mount radiator and individual Oil cooling setup. Spoiler: Instruments -V$750 Materials -V$150 Oil coolers -V$125 Wilwood brake cilynder -V$100 Radiator -V$125 Acrylic windows -V435
Sleepin_mOnkey So as i expect that every one know's i own a little tunning shop in La,but i always liked to dont talk much about the shop stuff,But i considered that this project deserved to had an attention.So the guy that bought my old civic called me at wendsday and asked me if we do complete projects beacuse he had an friend that was looking for someone to build his 240z.When i meet with his friend on the next day he told me that first this car belonged to his father and he always wished to restore it but never had the spare time to do it so je decided as an tribute to build this car.So the car is an 240z that was orinaly white but as he sitted for an year he has an big ammountof dust sitting the engine doesnt exist and the suspension is an complete Sh*t But he has no rust and is an great blank canvas So we agreed on 25k So i can restore/build the whole thing.
Sleepin_mOnkey # Zero : Im jealous of your S13!! That S30 tho! Loving it Thx bro if wanst broke because of my racecar probaly will be an mine S30 Also today ordered Tons of stuff for the Fairlady since i and his owner decided what direction this build will take.
