Re: 2JZ 240sx Coupe build thread *300SX*

Wheel diameter has jack shit to do with hooking up. Your more likely to spin 18s than 15s. Drag radials are the right choice... unfortunately they wear pretty quickly on the street. I love driving on my mickey thompson E/T street radials though, I almost rear ended someone when I floored it to get around a truck that was in the process of running me up a curb.

yeah i wanted a cusco cage first but realized blue wouldn't really go w/ anything on my car and nick pointed out the east bear one to me and i couldn't really pass up how cheap it was...

[lizmo]

UPDATE: new USDM turbos are on for the most part...
Walbro 255 is installed
Valve covers done
piggy lip painted
cage is repainted, still need to add some 'special touches'

[240sxguy]

Liz, lemme guess, pink cage?

[lizmo]

nope, black.

i was gonna do pink (obviously) but i didn't want it to be like omg obvious so i stayed w/ black.

[240sxguy]

Thank god. LOL

[Flicktitty]

Got the USDM turbo's on and all buttoned up on Wens night. Swapped out the Spark plugs, painted the heatsheild and thats about it.


Then Last night My buddy Ryan wired the car up. Thanks alot buddy.


Then me Liz,Ryan and Travis (crusin240hatch) went ahead and....


LIFTED


and dropped




and let's just say IT'S FUCKING TIGHT!

[14k]

Congrats NIck and Liz! yea it looks real tight in there lol.

[Flicktitty]

LOLZ, yeah just a LITTLE tight.....



i think the fans are gonna have to be pushers now.

[240sxguy]

Wow, the 2jz must be shorter than the RB. Looks like plenty of room to me.

Nice work guys, glad to see its coming along.

[Flicktitty]

.

sarcasm?

[240sxguy]

No sarcasm, there is more room in there than in my car.. might be the perspective of the picture though. Are those puller fans? If so, you definitely have more room than I do.

Evan

[Flicktitty]

must be the angle of the pic. it's tight. i'll get some better ones today.

[Jeff G]

Evan

True story, pushers FTW on the RB. Looks pretty close to the amount of room I have, and Evan I'm sure you've seen my car

[Kane]

why not just mod the firewall and get some clearance?
where does the shifter end up at?

[lizmo]

its an auto.

and im not modding the firewall. well have enough room, just gonna get some thinner fans or use one or two as a pusher fan.

i've got a few videos of it going in but its not very exciting cuz it took a good half hour to get the mounts lined up w/ the crossmember.

[Kane]

you tape yourself putting a motor in?

what else you videotape, because I might be willing to pay to see some footage
