Speed by Design (Setrab Model #925) Oil Cooler Kit for the 240SX

Getting Closer:

Desynz Motorsports (Australia) Oil Return Head Mod Kit: Polished Balance Tube: ATI Race Engine Damper:

Andy at Southern Imports in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (USA) (Mechanic on Project 240SX) installed the Mazworx Axles w/Hubs (http://www.mazworx.com) and SPL Pro Aluminum Subframe Fushings. (http://www.splparts.com) A little brake cleaner and some black spray paint really improved the look of the spindles. As you probably notice, the threads on the hubs are extended for use with aftermarket drag wheels.

And the most recent....

Yep, very sweet car, read through the article at the airport bookstore the other day. I'm in Ft. Worth, TX and would love to see the car in person sometime.

There's a Ford C4 to RB Conversion Thread here: http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=168000 I will be updating the thread with photos as we go along.

Prices lowered to $1000 for the Rb25 Trans, and $1600 for the brand new in box Exedy Triple Clutch with MSRP of $3500. Ordered the Performance Automatics Ford C4 Super Comp Tranny w/Transbrake.

Sold the D-Jetro Power FC w/Sensors and the Datalogit last night.

I've got a PowerFC D-Jetro with all accessories for $1500 brand new in box. They just discontinued this model, and are soon going to be impossible to find new.

I have decided to go with an Automatic, and have decided to run the AEM to control it. This means I will be selling off all of my RB ECU and Trans Pieces, most of them brand new in box. Here's what I have so far ready to ship: RB25DET Tranny in Excellent Condition, $1000 plus shipping S13/S14 McKinney Motorsports RB25DET Tranny Mount Kit $200 S14 to RB25DET McKinney Motorsports Driveshaft $400 shipped BNIB: Exedy Triple Disc Clutch $1600, MSRP for this piece is $3500. This clutch will fit the R32 GTR, R32 GTS-T, and R33 RB25DET Transmission. http://www.exedyusa.com/race/NM033HRW

Hey Everyone, I was offered a Trust Single Turbo Manifold from a fellow forum member for an extremely reasonable price, and could not turn it down. Due to the fact we already have issues with the stock twins clearing the steering parts, I feel this should resolve these issues, and keep us from having to pull the motor everytime something goes wrong on the exhaust side of the car. I'm now changing directions, and will be selling the twins. I'd love to see 650-700whp out of this turbo, as I dont know my 240SX will take much more. I can't put 400whp to the ground, so there is no need shooting for another 500-600whp on top of that. (Even though my block was built for it.) Due to the fact I just blew half my turbo budget on a manifold, I will be sticking with something journal bearing to save cash. I can always upgrade later, but getting my car back on the street is my first priority. I'd be curious to hear your suggestions.

Got the Candy Apple Red Valve Covers back from Powder Xpress (with NUR Spec Plate from RB Motoring) last night, will have the Chrome Powdercoated Intake Manifold and OEM TT Piping back early part of next week. They did an amazing job on the Candy Powder Coat. They have a blazing fast 72 hour turn around time, and you simply mail them your pieces to be done. Cost me $150ish, and was well worth the money. http://www.powderxpress.com/ Here are the pictures taken with my crappy cheap digital camera. I'll get some better images for you guys that may be interested in using Powder Express. Candy is hard to shoot with my cheap camera, as the gloss comes across blurry. They are absolutely stunning, and will really wake my bland engine bay up. Especially, as the Black Paint was peeling off my Valve Covers and Intake Manifold.

In regards to the $$$ invested, I have been fortunate to have lots of sponsored parts being given. Therefore most of the cost of building the car has been in labor/fabrication, that I could not do. Thanks for the compliments guys, it's good to know our vision is appreciated.

I just got the Candy Apple Red Powdercoated Valve Covers, and Chrome Powdercoated Intake Manifold and OEM TT Piping back. I took some pictures last night, but I'll post them here in abit. The motor is currently at the machine shop, and the chassis is on the lift right now. It's going to be 3-4 weeks before I'm going to have updated images that I want to post, as I know they'll be redistributed on other websites.

No, It's the Garrett 2860R-5.....(Direct Bolt-on, with no modification required. Has EXTREMELY similiar specs to the HKS 2530, and is probably the new trend for GTR Turbo Upgrades for the guys that want to stay twin) http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2860R_707160_5.htm The 2860RS is commonly known as the Disco Potato Turbo, and is a different turbo. P.S.- No, I'm far from just the guy that writes the checks (although I do own the car, and yes I do right many check for PARTS, ha!), and i have HUNDREDS of hours wrenching on this car over the past four years.

Around $1700, Retail is about $2500. It's a Sprung Clutch.

The entire car has been painted House of Kolor PBC-36 TruBlue Pearl, since those photos were taken.. Like I said, those photos were taken in 2004, and the car has undergone a complete transformation.

Hey Guys, I am (with the help of several sponsors) agressively working to finish the car in time for the NOPI 2007 Tour. As it has been since 2004, the car will once again be featured in the BF Goodrich Tires Booth at select locations nationwide. Edit 5/22/07- I will be updating the thread over the next 2-3 weeks while we finish up the car.

The carbon fiber was free, as it was a sponsorship item from www.importfan.com, aka GTP International. I'm far from rich, just have excellent sponsors....just like Exedy..

http://www.exedyusa.com/race/NM032SD That is the Twin-Disc as I said above for the RB25DET, and R32 GTR.

If so, I wasn't made aware....the answer is no to my knowledge.
