Making progress on this classic Nissan 240SX, and yes, fellow Gen Xers, the fact that a car you remember tooling around your high school parking lot is now considered a classic may sting a little. 😂
The rear-wheel-drive 240SX has become legendary in drift culture thanks to its lightweight, balanced chassis and seemingly endless potential. This one came to us already “LS swapped”... sorta.
Before the engine could go back into the car, we had to repair damage to the block caused during the previous installation. When an engine and transmission don’t slide together correctly, forcing them together with the bellhousing bolts can turn a small alignment problem into a cracked block and a much larger repair bill.
With the block repaired, the LS is now back in the engine bay and the build is moving forward.
Mike is taking care of the electrical system, including rewiring the car and installing Haltech fuel management. Coincidentally, the Haltech harness fits this LS-swapped import platform almost perfectly. It’s almost like the Aussies enjoy stuffing V8s into imports just as much as Americans do. 😉
Underneath the car, Jeff is putting together a fully custom exhaust system built specifically for this combination. There’s still plenty of work ahead, but this 240SX is finally on its way to becoming the properly sorted LS-swapped build our client wanted.
If your garage build has grown a little further "beyond" your original plans than you expected, there’s no shame in tapping out and calling in the professionals.
