HasNoTiresLeft's 240sx! Hey guys been a long time lurker on Ls1Tech and i figured i could post a thread about my car.
This is how it looked back when it was shiny / Ka-T (Turbo'd 2.4)
After a lot of fun with that setup i destroyed 2 cylinders with too much boost.
So, i rebuilt that powertrain and sold the whole setup for 1500 bux, Somehow the money that was supposed to go towards finding a new LS powerplant for my car disappeared...
(wife and kids will do that to ya)
So a few years later i managed to snag a 5.3 / 4L60E Combo out of 2001 Silverado for $1,100. And so progress began.

Using the 4L60e required me to beat the living **** outa the trans tunnel and i had to modify the factory 240sx mount locations.
But after a good bit of in and out with the motor and trans i got everything line up.

Once everything started to come together i decided on going with the Vette Manifolds (100 Bux) instead of paying 600 bux for a pair of custom ones.
Once i saw that these would work i pulled the motor out for the final time, to prep the engine bay.
Also notched the subframe and reinforced the remaining area with some 1 inch square tubing.
