Semi New here - LS1 240sx

I'd like to introduce myself since Ive been lurking for few weeks here. My name is Alex, I'm 22, and have been a tech at my Dad's shop for about 8 years. I know some of the members here from various meets, Telegraph, Woodward and Xceedspeed.

I own a Green 93 Nissan 240sx with a LS1/T56 swap Ive built ground up by myself. I picked the engine/trans up from Tim @ EADperformance. I then pretty much pioneered the swap in my chassis. If you look on LS1tech there is about 20 cars being built also identical to mine. :mad: I guess I someone had to pave the way. I spun a rod bearing while on Woodward and I rebuilt it
myself with the help of the net and a handbook. It laid down 429Hp/385TQ with stock ported heads an F14 cam and minor bolt on's with a stock LS1 intake and TB. As of now it is sitting in my shop being backhalfed with a custom 4 link frame and built Ford 8.8. I am shooting for High 10's with a 1.4 60" on 325 M/T Drag Radials. :icon_mrgr If anyone has any tips/handbooks/sites to help me backhalf this thing it would be ALOT of help.

I know LSx engines like the back of my hand since the swap. If anyone is in need of help or input I'd be more than willing to help. I also do alot of driveability diagnosis and wiring so I know alot of the common problems and how the big 3 run their powertrain.

Please don't get me confused with the typical Ricer because I'm not. I'm far from it and my car is not what you would call... Normal. I am starting to get sick of the asshats, ricers, loyalist, morons and thieves on Xceedspeed. I hope to meet all of you sometime, maybe at the track this season I know I'll enjoy my stay here, right at home with all my 8 cylinders :icon_mrgr Sorry for the long read.

Here is how my car sounds

Dude that has got to scream!!!! I've always wanted to do that since I seen a 240 sitting in the junkyard. It's almost all there besides the engine
 
I read about your car on the ls1tech board. Great work! I wish I had those skills! Bring it to one of our track events this year, I'd love to see it in person.

Nice car and welcome! i've seen ya around town and down at woodward, i have the Red SS with the black top and black rims
 
Hey Alex. Welcome aboard brutha. When you coming out again to hang out? We will have to hit the track together this summer.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I am enjoying it already.

Matt, aren't you selling your car?

Fadi, man that gather going up 475 will never be forgotten. I believe we made it to Frakenmuth in about 20 minutes from Flint lol. I'll be out there with my car when its done from surgery. Then we'll race from a dig :)

I'll definitely be out when the season is back up. I'll see all you guys at the track, lets pray I can atleast break into the 10's.
