1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
Hey guys this is my first build thread
this is my ride, ive had several 240sx's before but this one was unique.
I bought it off an old lady for 3,000. it had 150k original miles single owner
1998 deep fuschia ls1 color code.
It was completely mint but the downside was that it was automatic
I first just wanted to do the 5 spd conversion and dump it..but things change.. scroll down and look at the picture story lol.
Mad credit to the TTG boys, theyre the brains of the operation!
after i bought the lip
got a good deal on a motor and pieced the 5 spd swap together so decided to get rid of the old..and...put in another ka..with lower miles
donor
taking out the crusty old motor (still ran like a champ)
coming out
le bay
making some space for something called a clutch
freshh
new in
SHE LIVES
interior looking sorta good
Well all these pictures are from about 2-3 months ago before the motor went to **** lol
I will post more of the current build tomorrow im about to knock out

Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
Under the knife again sadly... But coming out fully built !!!
Flimsy Honda rods vs beefy Nissan rods...
Tranny internals were super minty
As of right now.. Waiting for my forged internals and a ton of parts to come in.

Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
Clean clean clean! What are you going with for internals? What kind of numbers are you shooting for? I am in the same boat as you right now. Dropped in a motor, it went pop and now I'm looking to build it up.

Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
Nice car,man that 150k mile engine was probably ready for some boost with a proper tune if it was running like a champ I wolda kept that kinda hard to trust peoples(said) lower mileage engines now a days,I bought a complete engine for complete rebuild was told just blew a head gasket so I start tearing it down for machine shop well I find out it has been boosted and detonated bad,piston melted,head damaged so I chunked all of that took block to machine shop and find out its cracked. But new parts are nice to get in the mail and fun go watch it all come together and take pride in all your hard work good luck with the build and look forward to seeing where this goes.

Yeah man , getting rid of that motor is one of my regrets..

Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
luckily you can buy a KA for like 200 to rebuild and beast it.
Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
Yeah man, I've had many sr s before but it's just a huge waste of money to be. The KA Is so abundant. It'll be my first turbo ka build and hopefully it all goes well! I'm not cutting any corners especially tuning wise.picsbypenny wrote:luckily you can buy a KA for like 200 to rebuild and beast it.

Nice man! while you have the housing off that transmission replace that output shaft bearing down from the speedo gear. Atleast SKF or better.. hopefully better. Prominently the most worn bearing on our 240's (atleast from the 5 or so tranny's I've been through) and so easy to replace.
Excited to see the next step in your build!

Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
oh btw did you mic out the crank or did you just order standard bearings and gonna plasti gauge it?
Re: 1998 Deep Fuschia Kouki
What does vat mean? and thanks im going to use the standard size bearings for now since I didnt have any rod knocks or spun bearings. the motor was running before it pulled it apart, its just that the head gasket went bad and I put her down before i caused any damageS14wayz wrote:looks good man diggin the color too.
