New S13 Vert owner

Post by Andler2008 »

Hey fellas. I'm Chris. 26. I Recently picked up a 1993 240SX convertible with a nasty rod knock for $600 cash. I may have gotten a steal, I may have over paid, either way, I was just happy to move onto a new project and hopefully my first turbo build. I've always been a fan of the 240's S13 and S14, and the 300ZX's. So as of the past few months or so I stopped working on my motorcycle stuff, and started steering my attention towards KA24DE builds, KA-T builds and Fuel management. I've rebuilt dodge ram 318's, a 4G63-T, and a SBC 383. nothing crazy, but enough that it should get me through the assembly process fairly easy. Fuel management is a different unknown beast to me so i'm sure you'll see a couple new posts here and there in reference to that.

so 2 weeks ago I bought the S13, then started trying to sell my katana streetfighter. a kid got ahold of me saying he'd trade me straight up for a 1993 300ZX. I couldn't believe it. the 300 was one car I've wanted since I was 16, and just never had the chance to get one. So of course I picked it up this weekend. and as far as the wife goes :angry-teeth: but i'm over here like :dance: :bowdown:

But anyway, just wanted to give a small intro. any questions feel free to ask, otherwise enjoy the pictures!

$600 for any worthwhile shell is a good buy; convertibles are few and far between so I would say that ups the factor :) Any idea of the top's condition? That'd be my only worry.

An exciting project! I'm sure the wife will get over it :)

The top is in mediocre condition at best. I know the hydraulic pump in the back has leaked everywhere. I guess good thing is it keeps rust from taking over from the inside out? Bright side to everything I guess lol.

At this point, I'm looking to get a 5speed swap setup for it as well. Also a used motor just to drive it around in the meantime while I build up the original. if it's not too damaged that is.
