Harness ended up being for a SR transmission. So on the look out still for a harness but....



My paint came in today!!! Might end up pulling everything apart and painting the engine bay, not sure yet though.

I like this build. Bought one of these when I was 16 thinking I knew enough about cars to pull the engine and do all the work lol. Are you sticking with the single cam or is it temp?

Thanks man! This motor will do until I get more experience drifting and also after school/better job. Eventually I will get a CA18DET though. lol.

Subscribed. Love to watch a 240 built from ground up and hopefully will be building one myself at some point. At the risk of sounding like a noob, I am stil learning Nissan and was wondering what car is the CA18det from? I know the rb i the skyline and the sr20 is the Silvia, but never heard of the CA18

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Well the CA18 comes out of a Japanese Silvia/180sx also but it wasn't as popular. There is also a FWD version just like the SR20 that comes in Pulsars I believe.

Decided to buy something to pretty up the 240sx and since I needed taillights anyways I killed two birds with one stone...

Will be tinting/painting lens red so they look better!

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Thanks man! I found them on eBay for only $40 shipped so it was a pretty good deal I think.

Picked up a KA 5spd lower harness and alternator yesterday! Hopefully I will get the car running within the next couple of days.

[islandhopper]

Hellz yeah! You're gonna have so much fun with this thing...


JEALOUS!

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

That I will! Got it running today, was awesome to know all my hard work paid
off. Now just have to get a slave cylinder and hook up driveshaft, clutch
lines, and axles. It should be able to move then!

finally

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Wednesday was a pretty productive day. I got my lower harness on and
couldn't figure out why my car wouldn't crank still. It ended up being that the
dash plugs were different by the ecu and luckily I had an extra upper harness
that had the right plug on it. So I de-pinned the wires and re-pinned them in
the right plug. After that it started cranking but wouldn't fire off. After trying
everything else I decided to switch the fuel lines and then it fired right up!
Never have done a motor swap in a Nissan so had no clue which way the
lines went, lol. So now all that is left is hook up clutch lines and driveshaft
and then I will be able to drive this!

So after I had the car running I decided to put on a few exterior pieces I had
laying around. Took the hatch and taillights out so I could put my rear
garnish because the taillights stick out over the garnish. After that I put a
new hatch on that isn't all rusted out and dented all to hell. lol.

Here are some pictures I took on wednesday...
