This site is here to document my planning and progress on my version of the popular LS1 swap into a Nissan 240sx.
The Car
It’s a 1995 Nissan 240sx that I picked up in 2002. The car was initially intended to be a daily driver for my wife. That is until I “HAD” to drive it at an autocross because my regular autocross car was broken. The regular autocross car, didn’t stand a chance against the handling characteristics and overall fun factor of this car. The car has since seen several different suspension setups while the engine has basically remained stock. Until now…
The Goal
Build a reliable, 350whp, 2700lb car that will primarily be used at motorsports events. However, the car must retain all roadworthy equipment (radio, AC, etc…) and pass the NC Annual Inspections without bribery. If I’m able to meet the weight goal, this will by far be the most powerful car that I’ve ever owned, and likely ever driven.
The above paragraph sums up this project quite well. The three key factors that are most important to me are “reliable, 2700lbs, and roadworthy”. In order to meet those three factors, i will have to give this project more effort then any previous car project that I’ve ever attempted. I also will not be able to take the cheap way out on this project, or else it will be doomed before I ever start the labor.
The Site
This website will be broken down into three primary categories. Planning, Doing, and Technical info. From there, those categories will broken down into further categories (wiring, engine mods, transmission, weight/suspension, etc…) that will be developed as I publish content. Many articles will likely overlap multiple categories.
