Hatch back on gets my vote.

 

Yea im like 90% leaning back to putting the hatch back on. It was a impulse decision taking it off and removing it in the first place lol

 

Careful with the rotary reliability jokes around here.

But I agree with you completely, 300hp and a flat torque curve would be much better for drifting than a 300hp SR or 13B.

 

Lol at the immense ignorance here

 

LOL trust me i know! Ive seen my friends in jz, rb, and v8 swapped cars that throw it down with no problem whatsoever.. whether it be in a fc or a 240.. really doesnt matter

 

So while im over here making a ton of money i decided to buy a new wiring harness since my old one was pretty beat and on its way out with crumbling and broken wires everywhere. Purchased a brand new harness and one of my buddies is in the process of installing it for me. Lol probably one of the things we all hate to do. But its gonna be pretty cool, hes making it so its fully removable and some other little mods to it.

 

Forgot to mention, I picked up some Supernow tie rod ends for $60 and some rack spacers! Gonna pair it up with some JTP knuckles for getting that good angle

 

Well havent had any updates in a while lol mostly cuz im deployed till october. But anyhow while my car is sitting in my shop collecting dust. Im over here buying random parts that i need for it and jumping on deals that i see. Well i ended up picking up some stance ss coils from a member on here with less then 2k miles for 950 shipped along with FINALLY finding a aero bumper back home from someone i knew for about 50 bucks. Oh and also jumped on a deal to buy a sparco seat from a friend for a $100 and finally another rear hatch.. since i regrettably sold mine to fund my engine build at the time. Other then that nothing much has been happening and just waiting to come home and get done with this car

 

opened up june 2013 issue of super street and saw my car.. thats was pretty cool lol although i sent in the info back in january before my motor blew and before i did the rebuild.

 

You should have done the truck conversion before you told everyone it was a truck conversion. :p

 

lol i always told people it was a in progress truck conversion.. i was like 40% complete and would have been done in February but my motor got rod knock in feb so that took all my money and time for 2 months and then i deployed lol

 

Does this car have an NA diff?

 

used to have a turbo 2 LSD, but switched it out for plate welded diff and now has a cusco 2-way waiting to be installed. So noooope lol unless u count the welded as once being a N/A diff

 

is it a welded na diff? or a welded t2 diff? they are completely different. I run a welded t2 diff.

 

hell i have no idea. I thought the t2 diff was a lsd and n/a was open diff. Its defiantely an open diff thats been plate welded. Ive cracked it open and it was definately once a open lol. Either way i got a cusco 2 way now.

 

t2 is stock with an lsd. I welded mine. problem with na diffs is they are weak. the axles are weak and so is the driveline.

 

i have turbo 2 axles and custom aluminum driveshaft

 

Since so many people have asked about my custom crossmember and custom steering rack support. Id thought id post some pics up of it all. So enjoy!

Directly in front:

^^ as u can see in this pic the stock fc crossmember has been hacked off to only include the sides. Then a custom crossmember in the back has been welded in with stock 240sx mount points and the custom front steering rack support has been welded in as well

Another view of the main crossmember:


Left side where the steering rack mounting bars are welded to the old fc subframe:


From the right side where the main crossmember and rack mounting bar connect to old subframe:


Drivers side view of steering rack and mounting bars:


Passenger side view:


Now the only thing that sucks about the steering rack mounting bar is that i cant use a regular aftermarket oil pan for a SR. I would have to make a custom one which im going to do soon. But stock one works for now. Also dont mind how dirty the shop and car are lol. Im deployed now so my car just sits in the back of my shop and my friends are dirty as hell haha but anyways hope that helps everyone

 

sick! i have an sr20 in my FC. its a blast to drift. stance GR+, welded diff. it works well.

 

Post up some pics of it! i always love seeing people with sr's in FC cause i know only a few people that have done it

 

yeah i'll try to put a bit of a thread together. i wish i had a local place like BOSS to polish up the wiring, it looks awesome.

 

Ya they did a pretty good job! After the motor blew though and i put a new harness in eveerything had do be done by me lol annoying to say the least

 

Well small update.. I randomly was researching FC diffs since i still have alot to learn about the FC. Ive only drifted nissans before the FC. Anyways while doing that i found out my Cusco 2-way that i recently got for trading for my old bolt in Cusco cage was a Cusco 2 way in a n/a housing.. Well im currently runnning a t2 lsd thats been welded so found out that the 2-way wont work for my car. Kinda sad cause i was so excited to try it out. But now its for sale for 550 obo.. Sucks.. cause it looks so clean! Well you live and learn i guess lol

 

Well small update. My PBM front mount for the diff came in and also some DTSS eliminators. Just waiting for the next shipment of pbm subframe bushings to come in as well as pbm rear diff bushings. Anyways i got a little more then a month and a half till i get back to the states. Thats when the real fun begins!

 

Going to a completely solid front diff bushing I would make sure to have a preloaded pinion snubber so you dont risk ripping the diff mount mounting tab right off the subframe.
