NISM0's 240 Thread: Still Around

Wrong place to get talked out of something. Do it.

Or don't listen to me, I have more than twice as many cars as I have any use for.
 
You guys aren't helping! I originally called it off because I thought I was going to England for WRC, but that plan is out the window. So this might happen again.
 
I'd say don't.

It's an off roader; I don't know what you're planning to do with it, whether a full resto or a restomod or a full off road build. Whatever the choice, think of the parts. You already have two Nissans and I'm sure you've gone through the headache of finding parts for your cars, and/or having to fab them yourself.

Yes, it's a unique opportunity, and a unique car itself. However do you really need another build? If you buy the car, it's going to the back burner until the 510 is done. You can't fully focus on the build because you have your other two projects.

On to the car itself, the shell doesn't seem healthy to me. Then again I can't say that unless I actually see the car itself. However I'm looking at the pics and I think of all the fab work needed, and the paint, and... it's already giving me a headache :lol::P. Then there's the master cylinder problem. Yes your 510 had the same description, but you got lucky. Maybe you won't be as lucky with this one. Maybe there'll be other problems with the engine: a seized block; blown gasket; cracked block; missing oil pan, etc.

Don't. I know you're really considering it, but don't. You already have two projects. Save your money, yes $2500 might not seem like a lot but save it.


That's my attempt to talk you out of it.
 
Small update, after two years......

I decided the shark mouth is out, so it's going back to KG1. It's just rattle can for now, the paint is so bad that it doesn't really matter. I just want the car to be solid again. I want the hood to be the same color too, but I need a lot more paint. I also bought aero covers for the front wheels. Because 787B.

New wheels on the rear, Lonchamps that are 15x7.5. Hood has been painted, poorly, but that's rattle can for you, and I have aero spilts off the 2002 and 3.0 CSL.
