I am not sure how often this post is visited, but a quick question. Happen to own a 1990 240 sx se fastback with a five speed, single cam KA w sun roof, 143k, in black, with no rot. A/C works 134a conv. myself 2 years ago, cruise as well. Manual everything else. Front seat shows wear, great dash. Second owner, bought from an older man retiring. 55yrs myself but from what I am told is a higher mileage unicorn that has not been modified but for needed exhaust and adj. conventional kyb struts/shocks, BN/ bf good radial ta's on stock aluminum wheels. Daily driveable. What should I ask Cheers 🍻...

Te amo cabron

Provides interesting window into the longevity of even our newest cars. Especially considering newer car structures are both more complex, having more layers and more points of water intrusion

What’s the switch that sit where the coin tray is?

Another big thank you to add to the chorus. Filling the coolant for the first time on my SR and started dumping a bunch on the ground because of a mystery hose floating in space behind the manifold. Ended up being the throttle body hose but because of how it was routed I spent half an hour trying to find a fitting near the firewall. If I didn't find this vid i probably would have yanked the manifold to find something that didn't exist.

Where did you source out the hardware and screws for the headlight brackets? 15:11

A huge amount of work but it does make things beautiful and professional looking.

damn any cheap s13 chassis would be huge luck for me

Hey bro what foam do you use to replace the old stuff, for the exterior of the box, so it makes a good seal and such

just stumbled across your chanel absolute gem of a channel right here

9:30 crazy flex but okay 😂 awesome work

Too late I have a 240 sx s14 and bitch gives me nothing but problems here and there but I love her soooooo Much❤️😩

Please make it like a Oem/stock in and out like fresh from the factory, and Please please No Fender roll and No Fender Pull, since you 240 / usdm, please make a Silvia S13 front end / jdm, and put some small wheels like 15” on it, for the Nostalgic vibes, priceless! just keep it like a daily driver, keep it up and Save and restore all Schassis, as we all know they were all beaten up so hard. ✌🏼🤓

What type of wire did you use for it whats a good submersible wire?

It's painful to think that these cars are actually far less susceptible to rust than Nissan/Datsuns made in the 70s! It's even more painful to realize that these cars were literally designed this way just Japanese culture the cars are very well-made, but they just aren't designed to last more than 15 to 20 years while still being flawless mechanically. Meanwhile contrast that to a typical American car of the era that was designed to last 20 years sitting in somebody's yard. Because you were lucky to get five years of run time out of one before it broke.

Do you still do this type of work and how much do you charge.

does the serial nine or cooler worx pro shifter gets you stock shifter location in the 240sx with sr20det with cd00x trans? congrats on the video, very straight forward. greetings from mexico

Hey brother, genuine question, would you be able to use a “U” type hose instead of having an elbow at 6:04 ? I’m curious because I’m wondering if I should use an elbow or just one coolant heater hose U

CAN I GET THAT WIRING DIAGRAM????

amazing video man. well done

How has the epoxy coating held up? Did you only use the klean strip to prep the surface?

Any tips for welding mild steel to the knuckle?

Thanks so much for this video. Finally got my speedo working on my S13 with a GM LS3 EROD. Can’t thank you enough

Thank you for making this video. I plan on retrofitting AC into my 91

This is exactly why I don’t even bother looking at them tbh always parted out 3 different ones to choose from as if that matters then be wanting 3k for the rusted shell. The 240 market has become worse in terms of cringy than the Honda community in 2024. At least those run lol

Wow great job, I thought there would be no chance of bringing that thing back to life.

is there anyway you can go in depth on the wiper/ headlight turn signal wiring harness, no one really shows that side of the fc switches

Great video man. I'm new here and slowly restoring my car. Wanted to ask where would i get an AC compressor since they don't make them any more for older year s13's with the ka24de😊

Coming back to this video again 2 years later. Those part numbers are a time saver!!! Thanks dude <3

Where did you buy Dakota digital and need one for my s13 ls swap?

Would love to see a video on the front end repair. I’m fixing one with similar damage now and could use some tips lol

I’d hope you clear coat it high temp engine enamel to preserve the look

I've never seen emissions stuff on a KA 😂

Do you have a detailed way you did this would love to do this but in a car haha

out of all the damage, I cant believe you have an un-cracked dash

It's fucking painful seeing these guys rust out and basically turn into oversized paperwieghts in the middle of nowhere. Imagine all the other 240s and other collector Japanese made cars just rusting away in someone's remote scrap yard.

how are you capping the ports?

Are you able to do a better detailed lengthy videos very much detailed so me and other viewers can get more help ?

Hey boss, dont know if you will read this, but im tackling rebuilding my first ka right now, and when i dissembled i cut alot of hoses and lines on the intake manifold, wondering where you are supposed to source those?

Ain’t this in fl

bro just came to say keep up with the content!! all your videos are awesome and you deserve wayyy more views

What size wire do you use for 12v and ground to your relays

very badly seo in your video

Sorry super late to the video but what kind of skirts are those? Very hard to find skirts that work with my overfenders

So everywhere, they rust everywhere. Thanks.

I liked and subbed many years ago, but don't know if I ever left a comment. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video! This is my type of how to video. Showing how you do it in real time. This is extremely useful to anyone needing to work on these KA's.

Is it possible to have this type of harness with a custom fuse panel on a OEM ECU setup with all of the amenities? (HVAC, Fuel, Turn Signals, Etc).

What did you strip the valve cover with?

Watching the stock interior put together by hand is so soothing. Wonderful work thank you for saving these cars 1 at a time with love and care!

Did u have bleeding issue's a little nipple on that pipe u added might come in handy just wondering Before I do it ?
