Hitting a Wall with the Dream Nissan 240sx S13 Hatch Build... (4K)

Building a project car certainly has it's challenging and my 1990 Nissan 240SX hatch build has been no different... As I moved on the the suspension restoration, I realized I was missing a few small parts and ran into some other delays.

Hang in there bro, you got this! the build is epic, we appreciate you. And we're all human at the end of the day 🤙

[@avengednick]

Thanks man, appreciate you and all your support! And true that, I swear we lose sight of that sometimes so it’s good to check ourselves and be kind to others. You never know what they’ve got going on.

[@dylansherwood6081]

these videos have been therapy for me

[@rangelminaya]

I am just amazed at this build. Just unbelievable.

[@avengednick]

Thank you! It’s surreal seeing it starting to come together. Wait until all the suspension is on the car… 😏

[@rangelminaya]

@@avengednick I am looking forward to seeing the progress.

[@TDA1692]

Awesome Update! Looking better every episode

[@avengednick]

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

[@Ty.scarlet]

You were so meticulous with this build, makes me feel like my build is pure dog poop lol 😭

[@avengednick]

Thank you man, it’s a labor of love! And don’t be too hard on yourself, there’s a place for different levels of builds! Not too mention, builds like this can totally spiral in terms of time and money. And with that can come burnout from feeling like it’s never going to be done. Not saying I’m there with the S13 but just something to consider! I’ve been wrenching on my 350z this past week getting it ready to go drifting and it’s been a good reminder that there is a need for all sorts of build levels and that everything needs to be perfect. I install all my modifications on that car with the same meticulous nature, but truthfully, the fact of that car isn’t perfect makes it so easy to just enjoy it. Generally speaking, I’d say it’s all about finding a good balance!

[@alexavgeres9283]

Excellent update. Appreciated the transparency in regards to mental health. It is definitely something we all need to be sensitive to ourselves and others What a treasure to find a OEM hood in such great condition locally. Keep the videos coming!

[@avengednick]

Trying to use this platform to create some good in the world too! And definitely I definitely scored finding this hood locally

[@егорпанов-ъ6с]

Hi, I'm from Russia, I really liked your videos, and your approach to working on the car. I don't understand why you have so few views and subscribers, because you have a very cool context. repect!

[@avengednick]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Hopefully more people think so too, in the meantime I'll just keep doing my thing!

[@gevinsamarasekara5959]

Like everyone said, you’ve got this bro, your awesome and always makes us motivated, I know this won’t be enough to stop you. Also great video for updates once again 🔥

[@avengednick]

Thanks man, appreciate the support! And it definitely won’t be stopping me, I’m refocused and ready to go! I really just wanted share to show I’m human like all of you and shed some light on mental health because we don’t talk about it enough, especially among men.

In addition to the nismo subframe bushings, I'd also recommend doing the nismo steering rack bushings, rear knuckle bushings, and engine/trans mounts. Just having everything match makes the car feel super tight and compliant.

[@avengednick]

I’ve got brand new poly bushings for the steering rack as part of the rebuild from Sparky Built and all the rear arms, with the exception of the LCA, are SPL with heim joints so it should be super tight and compliant!

[@louispd6828]

Nice build, a thru proven Nissan classic. I owned an original 1989, bought brand new...

[@avengednick]

Thank you! And very cool

[@caseyjames6604]

Excellent work, man! I like how you took some time to touch on some struggles and how we all have them. Things happen but we keep on keeping on! I'm looking forward to cruising this summer and seeing the S13 on the street! Let's go!

[@avengednick]

Thanks my dude! I hope I can use my platform to spread some positivity in the world where I can so it felt like a good time to touch on something we all deal with. Can't wait to street shark this summer!

[@CodySnell_87]

I have that happen to me alot kinda felt unmotivated lately as well, sometimes you just gotta take a few days off from projects. I am very close to finishing my 180 phase 1 oem plus/nice weather daily. Just wrapped up and got all the bugs out of my s13 coupe 500 whp rb25 build. Soo many projects.. it can get overwhelming i have 6 right now lol if you wana sell that fuel line for a deal lmk lol. Nice work this cars guna be a museum piece:)

[@avengednick]

Totally man, it's important to rest and take care of ourselves! And hell yeah man, that's awesome. Sounds like you've got some awesome projects. I definitely feel you on the struggle of juggling multiple projects. And I was going to list the partial fuel line kit, shoot me a message on IG (@avengedmedia) and we can chat about a fair price. I'll hold of on listing it though

[@Villajesse]

The calipers color is a tough choice. I say leave for now, then get BBK later

[@avengednick]

Right? I think I need to see them behind the wheels to fully decide. Not sure how familiar you are with 90’s Nissans, so ignore me if you know this haha… But these are actually the largest OEM brakes that came on the Z32 and they’re quite an upgrade from the factory S13 brakes. Who knows though, maybe I’ll want to switch it up for more breaking power down the road.

[@lordrubio6304]

You can scotch bright the plastic, plastic adhesion , trim black and then it’s good to go, no need to get a new one ( I’m certified painter )

[@avengednick]

Damn no kidding, thanks for the tip! I’m assuming with the adhesion promoter it will hold up over time?

[@lordrubio6304]

@@avengednick yes it’s adhesion promoter it creates a chemical bond same as when jimmy sprayed the adhesion promotor on the bottom of his fc before he Bedlined it’s the same stuff I’m doing on my 240. Trust me I went to class and learned about it and I use it everyday !

[@lordrubio6304]

Everything that guy did to that s13 is exactly what I’m doing To mine all hands on 110% trust me I don’t want to use something that will fail down the road either as long as it’s prepped cleaned properly you won’t have any problems

[@christianschmidt7809]

This series is majorly inspiring! If you ever find yourself in Los Angeles, i would invite you to my shop! We both have the same OCD sickness 😅 We need to put some ppf on that beauty. @alpharestyling

[@avengednick]

Thank you man! I'm in LA a few times a year actually, I'll. make note of your shop! And agreed, I actually work for STEK so I'm planning to do a full front on the S13 in our DYNOshield

[@christianschmidt7809]

@@avengednick No way! That’s crazy, man. Im an Xpel guy but Stek is a very good film 🏁 we need to have a talk about Dynoflex 😂
