‪@StayTunedTA‬ Episode 6 -Stay Tuned is back!
I scooped up a long abandoned 240SX with an SR20DET swap from an old buddy for a cool grand! The goal is to get this thing fired up for the first time since the Iphone 1 came out! Watch as we dig through layers and layers of trash, animal waste and a ton of nature's metal candy:RUST!

a 240 with an intact front bumper? it should be in a museum.

@brandonknight7240 2 жыл бұрын

Funny you say that, i bought a 92 red 240sx absolute mint condition in 98 from a car lot for $5900 and within a year fell asleep at the wheel and ran into the back of a 80 ford f100 doing 80mph - totalled my car out nearly, all it did to the truck was scratch the back bumper alittle and bent it down slightly. In my ignorant youth i kept adding water and driving it leaking through the rad. Until it run dry and blowed the motor up.

First - Tony is the man. Second, having watched a number of these "will it runs" and dealt with a few abandoned vehicles myself, when (WHEN???) will people learn that a leaf blower is your best friend? Leave that pig outside, mask up/goggle up and blow away. Then you can use a shop vac (if needed) or shop air. But 99% of what you need to do can be done outside with a leaf blower (inside the car, too), electric or gas, in less than 5 minutes, and the rest of the journey is far less miserable. Also, can we talk about the Pontiac on the lift? GXP?

@neckbonejones1097 3 жыл бұрын

I snagged a 87k mile 93 convertible about a year ago that didn't run right for $3k. Zero rust, bone stock, excellent overall shape. The reason it didn't run right ended up being a disconnected ground for the fuel pump. Intermittent contact led to intermittent running. It's solved and runs like new now. Anyway, if you need a car that's basically all original (save for coilovers, wheels/tires, and an exhaust) as a reference, holler. I'm not too far from your Pottstown shop, I could bring it by on a Saturday or something.

I still have my old DG Trials NJ dvd. Y'all are responsible for getting me started way back when before drifting was mainstream. I miss my old drifting buds and all my s-chassis; it's a bit sad to see what time and negligence can do to an S13 but glad this one's with you my guy. I'm 40 now and dont have a project car but I still got the itch. Hopefully I can go sideways again before I die.

Not sure if you meant the s13 was the first 240sx we got in America, but we had the S12, S110, S11 and S10 here in the US. They were badged as the 200sx, but they rarely get the love the later S Chassis cars get.

S12'S are amazing. I'm not sure they'll ever get the accolades they really deserve before they're all crashed drifting or rusting in fields though.

Classic sr20 taking ages to build oil pressure when just cranking. Luckily they are pretty hardy engines, im kinda surprised the cams didnt get any surface rust on them but hey thats a major win! Hopefully you have good fun with her and put on some sensible oil control measures for it to stay happy.
