Z32 Calipers, 30mm Aluminum Fronts, and the Rears. I really don't want to do the whole rear drum install. So possible dual caliper + Hydraulic Ebrake in the future?

Quick Comparison shots, of the Fronts, Rears and Stock S13 Front Calipers
(Going to Rebuild the Calipers and powder coat them very soon, they look ugly right now).

I mean maybe I just get horrible fuel economy cause I have a lead foot

It just sounds too good not to at least keep it at 4500 rpm all the time

Looks to be a fun build man! I know the exhaust feels, same crap happened to me :/ Always an inch too short... lol

[PrStien]

It's going lol, haven't been able to do too much to it. Kinda diverted attention to my daily for a bit. Going to finish up the 240 soon.

Just finished re-reading my old thread and wow that was cringy. Anyway build isn't dead. Just had to deal with moving around a bunch, and college, and work, and well the list could go on. I took a break from the 240 for awhile because I didn't really know if I even wanted it anymore. Switched around with cars for a long time while the 240 just kinda sat. But now I'm happy to say I'm definitely going to get it finished asap as well as get stuff done to my new car. To update everyone on what's been going on.

I traded the Lexus for an DB1 Integra Sedan awhile back with a dope motor and well it was cool and pretty quick and all the body was just eaten through. Not to metion I needed a daily driver for life and not two project cars so I got rid of that aswell

Grabbed another, more daily-able Honda Accord Coupe as a daily and it got the job done for awhile.

And then I was on Craigslist one day and I saw a Black on Black 99 LS400, from California, with 156k miles in great condition for next to nothing. I looked at my savings and well...

After I sold my old one I had a pretty large empty feeling only another big body sedan could fix

my friend and the new owner is having a field day turning it into a drift monster though.

Anyway nothing on the 240 has really changed since the last update. I managed to get the heater core in as well as tidy up a few small things. ran into an issue with a busted coolant feed line that sprayed coolant all over my floor. Once that's all sorted out its time to see if it'll crank.

That's all for now I try to update relatively regularly now since it's summer and I only have to deal with work.
