Amazing.

 

looking good!!

 

Awesome thread and work. I've sent this out to several other car forums so they can keep an eye on your progress as well. Keep it up man.

This Bud's for you:

 

I cannot believe i havent looked into this thread before now.............all i can say is wow just wow.

 

oo i see where he got that idea for the turbos...

 

anything new!!!???

 

So unfortunately I decided to abort the project and sell everything as I no longer have the time to work on the car.





























SIKE!


Yeah right I will never quit till this car is done. Sorry guys no updates, been real busy with trying to get my shop in order. Me and my friend Mike (the welder) have been running electric and getting our lighting in our shop area in order. On top of that I am putting up drywall and putting tile down in the bathrooms I am remodeling in the office area of the shop. Tile is not so bad but, dry wall sucks. Drive shaft should be back from the shop soon as they were finally able to find serviceable u-joints which is nice because stock Nissan shafts are not serviceable according to them, and the correct ends to make the shaft. I was trying to just replace one section of the 240sx driveshaft but they said a whole new one piece will have to be made to hold to the power of the VQ, and besides that they said the u-joints on the stock 240sx shaft I had were worn out. This shaft is only being made for a test fit for the VQ mount kits for the 240sx I am making, I am going to put a 350z rear end in my car so I ll eventually have to have another shaft made for mine.

 

VERY FUNNY - Nice to hear from you at least. I was beginning to wonder if the project had beaten you. Good luck with your new shop!!

 

Happy New Year! Damn man... I read through the entire thread. I found this trying to find some switches for the 350z power seats since my seat is stuck all the way to the rear (and I'm only 5'3", which means I cannot even touch the pedals)so after taking mine apart, rebuilding them and possibly frying them I got on here and ran across this. It motivates me to see you to do all this stuff. I will quit being a cheap *** and buy some new seat switces. Back on topic..... Phenominal Build. Keep up the hard work. DIY all the way!

 

I think I'm gonna get drunk when you finally complete this project lol.

It's too awesome not to sit here and party by myself at the least when it's all said and done.

Keep it up man!

 

damn bro I thought u were serious!!!
Good luck bro can't wait till the care finishes!!!
Hope i graduated by then!!

 

bump for greatest thread EVER......

 

Looks nice!!! Nice to see someone else that isn't really a shop taking up a custom build!

 

LOL you definitely siked me out with that post... my heart stopped for a second

The same thing happened when I tried to access this thread a while ago and I was getting "Page not found."

Keep up the good work I really want to see video of this beast

 

This is one amazing build. Huge props for everything you have done so far. I will join the 100's or 1,000's of others who have subscribed and anxiously wait for more updates!

 

 

Stopped by again since I haven't checked in here for a while. Progress is looking very nice!

One thing I'm not too sure about.. The wheel wells you welded in. They look like they'll stop the tires from turning fully from lock to lock. Can you put on a wheel with tires or something and crank the steering wheel to check this before you go further? I'd hate to se you almost get done just to find out you can't make a normal 90 degree turn.

 

Simply breath-taking! Keep up the great work!

Oh, and MOAR picz plz! We can haz? :-)

 

insane build. Great decisions and great work throughout... subscribing to stay updated on this!!

 

I actually did check into this and everything seems to clear just fine, if I would have left the wheel wells to go straight down clearence would have been an issue, but I thought of this and caught my mistake and adjusted accordingly all is well now.

I have some pics but its such a small update its not worthy of being called an actual update. I finally managed to hunt down the inner headlight brackets for the S15 as my headlights did not come with them. I could not believe being as new as the S15 is how hard it was to get those damn things. When I talked to the Nissan dealership that I was ordering my S15 core support from they told me they had been on backorder for like the past two years. I had been kicking myself because I knew I had seen them on ebay previously but didnt think to buy them up at the time because I thought they would be readily available. Oh how was I mistaken. Finally persistance paid off and after continuously searching they finally popped up on ebay and I snatched them up as soon as I saw them. I am really happy about these stupid brackets because I want everything on that front end to look like it came on that car from the factory. Making brackets that were not stock or more importantly did not appear stock at all was out of the question for me.

The damn brackets Sorry they are blurry.. (cell phone):


Headlights fitted to the car, very happy to see everything on the front end lines up perfectly


My what pretty eyes she has:


I just bought a plasma cutter, some 3" stainless, stainless v-band flanges and stainless O2 bungs to make the down pipe so I should have some new pics of the downpipe soon. Now that I have the headlights mounted, I figured out a solution to my radiator and A/C condenser clearance problem so I should have pics of that soon as well.
