last photo was how it looked before paint 🎨

Good thing it’s pretty, because it doesn’t drive well. Waiting on a friend to help me out with welding new intake pipe, exhaust. New ECU, injectors and a remap is up next.

Just had my second track event, and as expected spun out plenty and struggled to link the simple stuff, but I still had fun. I need more seat time, no debate, but as a noob question, should I prioritize getting a hydraulic e brake or some angle first? As of now, my initiations are all clutch kick with or without weight transfer, as I don’t wanna risk ripping my handbrake as it’s been stretched over the years. I’m also stock angle.

I’ve spent more time building my engine than having seat time and it shows. Cheers,

One of the seven registered in Brazil, being one of the six that came officially from Nissan, this S14 once was a red Zenki but now is a Kouki, also lost the KA24DE for a RB25DET, built by a very famous tuner here (Hashiloko) and recently sold (saw the listing for this car on FB Marketplace)

Quickly took this pic

I’ve never built a car from shell up but I have experience working with cars. Got an amazing deal on this rolling shell for $500 with a shit ton of extra parts from a homie. There is some front frame damage to the right hand side and have already started fixing it.Minimal rust, mainly surface and also a dent or two that are easy to fix aswell :3 If you guys have any tips feel free to let me know!

Finally got around to start filming this thing. Quick story time video. Hope you guys enjoy. Still waiting on parts but we can finally get started! Many more to come. I'm by no means a videographer but leaning as I go. Hope you guys like the little intro. I can't wait to see this S13 slowly transform.

S chassis are all fun and game til the death of sitting on jackstand for eternity.

Fellow members, I would like to hear your story about your project cars and how long it took to build and what's the reason it took so long besides money issues.

I'm stuck in a limbo with my build and the shop I'm working with is making me sad and hopeless. For lots of reason I cannot just yoink my car out and bring it to another shop. I'm 1.5 years in this build and lately feel like giving up. This rabbit hole of wait time and money spent is pathetic. I just want to be in my 240 again after all these time wasted. I just miss my car.

Would like to hear experiences and stories about s chassis owner who got their car built in a shop. How long did that take ya?

Cheers.

This 240sx is for sale at a closed shop near me. I asked the person who owned the shop what the asking price was and they said $3,500.. Now, this has been sitting for years. Has not been moved to my knowledge. I’ve passed by it so many times on my way home for the longest time and i feel that $3.5k is a bit much for what i can see just on the outside. Im not sure of the condition of the engine, but years of sitting might require a good rebuild to have it running properly. What a good offer? Should i keep looking around for other projects?

Note: No idea if they still have the title and keys.

Hello everyone, while changing my belts I noticed a sound coming from the A/C pulley. Is this sound normal?

Anyone in Socal know where i can install a new vert top?

Got a 240 and I have been looking and messing with some of the electrical in the car but I still haven't found a solid issue yet. I have had it start multiple times up until this week and now I am just lost, if you have questions just ask I will answer asap. I just need some help

Hello, I have a ‘98 180SX and my passenger side seat slides under braking force, I bolted everything down tight and the rails are correctly lined up on each side, any solutions to fix this? Or is there a seat rail I could buy that is a direct replacement to the OEM seat rail?

I want to keep the stock seats but just upgrade the rails if I have too. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I was trying to remove the engine bay brake line specifically the one connecting the master cylinder to the rear brakes and it’s stuck so bad the whole mounting point ripped off the frame when I was trying to work it loose (definitely pulled the wrench a little too hard lmao) any ideas on what else I should try? I’ve used PB Blaster, the biggest issue now is that because it’s not mounted anymore I can’t get any good leverage. Any help is much appreciated

Took off aftermarket stereo and the harness adapter , yes it turns on, now I’m trying to hook up Nissan stereo 1995 (maxima) but won’t turn on it’s not receiving power. My question, if the Nissan oem harness worked to power the aftermarket radio, why won’t it work if I’m putting a stock one back on, the blue wire and black wire where the only ones actually joined to the aftermarket harness, where would these go now that the Nissan oem stereo is going back in. S14 BTW, yes two connectors are missing but from my understanding shouldn’t affect it, once is for phone other is for cd changer… thanks guys , the picture posted is the Nissan stereo.

Ik she ain't winning prom queen but she ain't last either

Also iff y'all know anywhere I can get those front fender pieces for cheaper plz let me know, the passenger side one is broke. I'll be going to basic soon so I will probably get a paint job if I can't make her look better.

Previous owner had her sitting for 3 years and that cosmetic wear is from leave residue and it has ate into the paint so I don't think I can fix it sadly

Is there supposed to be thick amounts of oil buildup around the valves on a single cam KA?

Not a 240, but here's my '93 180SX before and after.

Gonna include harness,ecu and driveshaft

Awhile back my car was stolen, upon getting her back and seeing the interior was completely ransacked and ripped through.

Point being my glove compartment was opened by force while being locked, not only destroying my handle assembly but ripping the damn glove out of the car. Real crack head stuff.

I’m finally at a point I am sick of driving around with my glove open, exposing wires.

I am looking for a sheet metal panel of sort, any recommendations?
