Project 240SX : Fortune favors the bold.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog here due to this unfortunate accident. I crashed, I’ve gotten over it but my back hasn’t. It was only a matter of time I suppose, given the abuse the S14 had been taking at the track. Fortunately, I’m relatively okay and I’m pretty fortunate to […]
Project 240SX : And the hits just keep on coming…… CT26 turbo failure
I’ve begun to tear into the 2jz and start cleaning, prepping and stripping for the swap into my s14. It’s been slow going for Project 240SX, but I’ve had more than enough on my plate lately. The saga of the 2JZ just refuses to die down, because after inspecting the CT26 turbos, I’ve been setback […]
Project 240SX – Oh… the Irony….
Well as some of you know, our flush mount hood pin install on a S13 writeup caused some legal issues to come to the forefront. As those issues do not pertain to me individually, I would encourage those shopping for a flush mount hood pin kit ( or ANY performance part ) to do their […]

Aligning at Treds
A good friend of mine just opened his doors at Treds Alignment in Hayward, which presented me with the perfect opportunity to hash out any lingering stance issues. Jesse, Butch and Chris are as cool as they come, and provide top-notch support and service. Butch is probably one of the most experienced and knowledgeable alignment guys in […]
Setting the Stance – Aligning the 240 and Megan Racing
After my ordeal with C&J Automotive, I finally got my Megan subframe bushings pressed in and locked in. My last shipment of parts from Megan Racing finally arrives with my upper rear control arms and tie rod ends. I remove my old subframe, and find that the subframe itself had been cracked and rewelded. This […]
Project 240SX – Installing Megan Subframe Bushings
Nelson and the boys at Megan Racing come through again, sending me a full set of their S14 Hardened Subframe Bushings. I get the dumb idea in my head that swapping my subframe at home is something that I actually want to try. Unfortunately, having just moved to Tracy, CA I’m not exactly close to […]
Project 240SX – Sorting out Subframe issues
Well the 240’s stance has certainly had it’s fair share of issues, and after a trip to see Butchie @ Treds Alignment Specialists it didn’t take long to determine what the issue was. It doesn’t take Butch long to determine that my rear subframe is bent, as well as my front lower control arm. Bummer. […]
Frozen Megan Track Coilovers
While I sort out the issue with the freight company dropkicking my 2JZ off the pallet, I decide to take care of my front end noises. The 240 pulls to the right on acceleration and makes an ugly clunking noise when turning the wheel left. After tearing apart the front of the car, I discover that both […]
OH NO0OEZ!!11
The freight company calls with some bad news, it appears as though my good fortune in finding a 2JZ may have run out. My motor looks to have fallen off the pallet during shipping and according to the warehouse worker “is pissing all over the floor” Time to file a claim and see where this […]
