So you live in the U.S.A where it's EXTREMELY difficult to get your hands on any sort of skyline, it's worse when you're a poor 20 year old that barely makes any money. Chances are if you even have one, the government is out there looking for you and want to take your car. So what do you do? Take the heart of Godzilla and shove it down the throat of a much smarter creature and hope it works for the best!

The S-chassis cars are by far my favorite cars ever created for the shear fun factor. Believe me, they are hilariously maniacal to drive if you haven't driven one before. So I've been in the 240sx game for a while. Had a coupe, that didn't work out... It was destroyed. Got a MINT rust free S13 hatch shell, extremely hard to come by one that is CLEAN where I am from. Winter and salted roads eat these for breakfast... So I put it all together from scratch basically, just trying to get it back to stock form because I needed a car to drive. (Flipped my Civic... Kind of needed something...) But plans changed. I had the KA24DE in it and running and all that was left was to put the drive shaft in and finish routing my brake lines and it was good to go. And then it happened... After a YEAR of begging and pleading, me and my friend FINALLY worked out a deal for his RB26DETT! That said, it didn't take long for the KA to come flying back out like a hot chick kicking you out because some famous football player showed up. Now the engine is sitting on the ground next to my car while I prep the patient.

That said, here's all work done so for in photos!

How I got it minus a few suspension parts that weren't doing a whole hell of a lot...



Got it on its feet again...


Got the steering in, made it look a lot more like a whole car again...


Finished the ass (Don't mind the wheel offset being really sunk in, I didn't have rear brakes at the time)


Got this in and running, mildly cammed, heavy clutch... Ready to drift it!


And then this happened.

Get out.


So there it is. RB26DETT attached to an RB25DET trans for teh RWD AWESOMES.

And there you have it! So far this is it. I have all the parts I need to shove it in this thing, I just have to clean the fire wall up and hit the transmission tunnel a few times to get the bell housing where the starter is to clear... It will be going in soon. How ever! I do NOT have all that I need to make it run, which is where this forum comes in!... Hopefully.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks man! Me too... Haha It's a tight squeeze. Looking at pics of these engines in the cars doesn't really do it justice until you see it in person. You look at the engine and then at the bay and just go "... I really hope it fits" Hahaha

259k house pfft, that's cheap unless you live in a place where there's no work or little pay. leave the poor guy alone, it's a build thread.
