'98 240sx build
So, I started off with a 1995 240sx that was already swapped to an SR20DET:
This got me hooked. I spent a year or so taking care of it, fixing little odds and ends. It's actually for sale now:

Anyway... then I was hooked. The aftermarket for these cars is huge. For the last 6 months, I searched endlessly for a 1998 240sx SE. I wanted the 1998 because I like the Kouki bodystyle, and it's the newest and rarest. In fact, only 1232 were produced. Finally, I found one in decent shape that wasn't overpriced:
:ughh:
Actually, that's a picture of the car two owners ago, when it was a drift car for some shop in the midwest. The last owner turned it into this:
With the following modifications:
Engine
Engine Block built by Mazworx, bored to 90mm (2.2L)
CNCd combustion chamber (90mm)
Darton Sleeves
CP 90mm Pistons
Eagle Rods w/ ARP studs
Greddy head studs
ARP main studs
Power Enterprise 90mm Head Gasket
greddy oil pan
Custom Topmount setup w/ a gt3076r .64
Head
Tomei 260in 270out procams
BC valve springs and retainers
Tomei solid lifters
Greddy intake manifold
70mm sr20de throttle body
Suspension;
Stance Pro Coilovers
Traction/Tension/RUCA Rods - Unknown Brand, came with the car.
DC Sports Front Strut Bar
Welded bar between rear strut towers
Stitch welded front end
Progress Front and Rear sway bars
SPL steering rack/subframe bushings
SPL Tie/Toe rods and ends
Drivetrain
HKS GP Pro Twin Plate Clutch
Aluminum Driveshaft
4.08 ring gear + helical LSD
short shifter
Cooling
Godspeed intercooler
Koyo Radiator
RX7 oil cooiler
nismo thermostat
greddy radiator cap
Brakes
Aluminum 300zx 30mm brakes front and rear
R33 emergency brake cables
Aluminum 300zx rear spindles
Agency Power Brake lines
17/16 300zx Master Cylinder
Axxis Ultimate Ceramic brake pads
Fuel
Sard FPR
Walbro fuel pump
740cc Deatschwerks injectors
z32 maf
First thing on the agenda is returning all the aero to stock, then a gloss black paintjob. Should be a fun DD/autocross car.
Let the flaming begin.

Nice Nissan! If it was me I would change the wheels take off the spoiler in the rear lower it more re-tint the windows. Ummm Question? Why didn't you just keep the 95 240sx and just get a 98 Kouki bodystyle kit put on?

I'm 6 feet tall, def. not short lol. I've never hit my head on a sun roof equipped s14. Do you guys ride with your steering wheels touching your chests or something? (not directed at mr. 6'4" lol)
