Hey guys I tried asking over on some of the 240sx forums and didnt get a warm welcome about this, so I thought I would ask here. Anyone familar with this swap? Anyone have any info on Hinson Super Cars? http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/ One guys on Zilvia.net said Is it really heavier then the KA it replaces? If so how much? The Hinson site says its 128lbs lighter but people told me thats a lie, but they where not able to tell me the real weights. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hey guys have just started on the long road of building up my project car. For the full gallery of photos you can go here: http://www.streetfaction.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=139&userid= For Updates: http://streetfaction.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1214 I will also update this thread as I get some free time.

Im in the same boat ... Im thinking between the lines of the following: -Top Sec Gold -Candy Black w/ Gold Flake -Gun Metal Gray of some sort.

Yea in Japan and here in the States they are having a lot of financial problems.

Thank you very much! This is just want Im looking for

The guys at Full-Race always do top notch work ... I run some of their parts on my Evo and Geoff over there has been the most helpful person I have ever delt with in this industry.

Apexi is going out of business in Japan so I would steer clear of their parts. Might want to check out HKS FCon Pro, but im pretty sure that can only be tunned by HKS Pro Dealers. Another option is to check out the AEM EMS.

Cool. So as soon as its done being blasted just spray it or brush it? I saw someone talking about PPG etching primer is that good? They where talking about how its a single coat brush on.... not too sure thou.

Good info. I have seen people strip cars and then send them to chemical stripping after to get all the small parts, but it seemed like a lot of work. I'll do a search like you said and read up on the stripping methods.

They quoted me $1200 - $1800 for soda blasting ...thats about $600 more then I thought.

Thanks for all the info guys .... I'll check out that soda blasting place here in Vegas and see what they have to say. Anyone have any idea of what I should expect to pay? Also after its blasted do they coat it to prevent new rust or do I need to spray it or take it some where to be sprayed? Sorry for the noob questions ... just want to do it right the first time.

OT: what wheels are those on the side of your bed ... THey look HOT!

Hey guys where can I find some steel parts to replace the rusted out back areas on my 240z ? I checked out that Tabco link above but didnt see anything listed for the 240 or anything Nissan for that matter.

+1 I need some new fenders!

Hey guys what do you think is better ? Media Blasting or Acid Bath ? also anyone know of any places in Vegas area ???
