I figured I might as well post up my car.

The whole mindset of this build and what I will be doing is solely based around efficiency, from volumetric to center of gravity.

I have built a website out of boredom, you can continue to check there for updates on the car. CoupedUp.net - Home of the Efficiency Slave

If you want to see pictures you can visit the gallery portion of the website to view the swap pictures, fabrication pictures or the most recent prep. work.

The car is a 1993 Nissan 240SX Coupe w/ 132k miles, I bought it with a HICAS VLSD, SPL Tension Control Rods and KYB AGXs. I have since done an S14 SR swap and researched and wired the harness myself. ; ). I had upgraded to an FMIC, Manifold, Elbow back Exhaust and a lightweight flywheel. I also have converted it to a Silvia front end with K's front bumper.

I had a lot of fun with the stock setup and ran it at roughly 13 PSI and made 273 WHP and 280 WTQ. I have since then purchased Nismo 555cc injectors, HKS GT2530 and an Electromotive TecGT Standalone. I have also removed the power steering and had the rack converted to a manual rack by Defined Autoworks. I also stripped and gutted the car and hope to embark on Painless Wiring here soon.

I recently got the car running and will be tuning it soon on some 4000 series Dynapacks. I can't wait to see what it makes and be able to drive this thing again.

Here are some pictures to make the reading worth your while. Thanks for looking and I'll try to keep updating this as I continue the build. I will next be ditching the KYB AGXs for some Coilovers.

Those last two pictures are of the clutch and flywheel setup I hope to be running by June at latest. :D 7.25" Tilton Dual Disc and Fidanza 7.25" Flywheel, let the RPM begin!

that thing is nice.

i painted a buddy of mine's 240. he did the whole sr20det swap. came out nice. dont remember why, but he put hubs from a 350Z on it to run 5 lug wheels. it was a spectacular car.

Thanks, usually the reason for the 5-Lug Hub swap is to give a better wheel selection as the 4-Lug stock ones don't generally have the greatest of selections.
