  • 1993 240sx build

    Its been a while since ive been on stanceworks, but i figured id make a build thread for my current car since i sold my prelude. I picked up a 1993 Nissan 240sx base model.

    Car looked like this. Had reverse rake, and was bone stock other than wheels and coils



    I then proceeded to lower it a bit more and replace the fart can exhaust with something a bit more clean looking and a shit ton louder!





    then i drove it daily for a little and got stuck for the first time :



    Bought an NRG hub and quick release and a Grip Royal wood grain wheel!



    Also bought a Michelob Ultra beer tap for a shift knob :P





    At the same time, i tore up my drivers side harness that was in my wheel well, roughly 20 wires torn right in half causing almost every light on the dash to come on and my headlights and wipers to not work...



    thing looks pretty mean without a front end on it :P



    I love the car. only thing wrong with it, is its got 232k miles on it, some body damage and more than a slight amount of rust on the frame rails and qp's (heres where it starts to get serious) so i bought a shell with roughly half the mileage and rust free to move everything over too!!





    And to top it all off (drumroll...) a silvia front! i am so anxious to get this front end in for 2 reasons, 1. its a fucking silvia front. 2. its got a rare aero bumper on it!





    thats basically it for now. ill leave you all with some current shots of the car and will keep everyone updated with how the swap is going!













    Thanks for looking!

          Good start with the project. Over here people would be keeping what you have, since its a Onevia and they never came out factory in Japan and all ours here are imports. People swap fronts a bit over here, so one person ends up with a Onevia and one with a Sileighty.

          Looks like you scored a cool 2 slat grille on the front end too..just need to get the square style headlights now, they really suit the Silvia shape better.

                looks good man.. i prefer the silvia front too especially with that Aero bar..
                but as Ant said, here in Aus ppl swap there front ends with there mates, to make a sil80 or a onevia...

                  thanks guys! i like the front end, but my thought process was, why put this round front end on such a square car... i feel like it just looks out of place. im in love with silvia fronts. only problem i have with the front im buying is it has the dual projector headlights, so im going to pick up the halogen bricks whenever i get the chance!

                  not too much to update from yesterday, but i did get my new radiator and 2 electric fans. i think it will look a lot cleaner without the massive engine fan in the bay.

                  stay tuned!

                    At first I was thinking it was gonna be a drift 240 like everybody and there mothers do, but your not going to tear the shit out of it and actually take care of it... I love you

                        Yea, my plan is to just keep it a simple and clean build. I did my first car the same way and I loved it!

                            I wish it was all mine sadly the only thing I could afford right now was the Silvia front and aero. Engine mods and rhd are something to do in the future. Well the rhd Idk if that'd ever happen hahaha. But thanks for the kind words! It's gonna get exciting real quick. Front end comes in next week!

                            I love my wheels too
