How to Build a Drift Car Engine Bay 240sx S13 │ Function and Form

Drift cars often have issues with wheels rubbing while drifting. There are many methods to fix this issue. I personally would like the car to look and perform equally as good; Function + Form. I use a trailer fender to build the tubs in the s13 engine bay, this will give the car much more wheel clearance and look better than factory, which = Function and Form Drift Car!

I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up by myself. I swapped out the KA24e for a KA24de. Then once more for a RB25det out of a R34 Skyline and couldn't be happier. I have also converted the 240 to right hand drive, (which ended up saving my life!) After installing a few drift parts; such as a hydro E - Brake, and dual rear calipers, welded diff, solid suspension bushings and more, the car handled amazing. Surprisingly this S13 was able to drift and stay sideways perfectly despite the damage that was done to it.

[@PrizzaMike]

So close!!! Yet so far at the same time haha 🙌

Holy sh!t it is isn't wow!

[@jacobkarjalainen]

Dam, ive been so busy i just realized that after your comment. Thats whats up😁

[@Erwin23]

I must've said this before , but the saturday uploads definitely make my whole weekend! So stoked to see more progress on the 240 and I hope you have an awesome day and an even better upcoming week! The 240 is really coming together , and it's so crazy to think that almost a whole year has passed since the crash. Mad props to you Mike 🏆

[@PBJPRODUCTIONSTUDIOS]

you're ingenuity is incredible man , not many think like you do and you do a damn better job then most who wouldn't even care , your channel screams attention to detail

[@churruncle]

Such a positive dude chews away week by week . Opens everyone’s mind on what’s can done 👊🏽 you have 100% inspired other builds 🤙🏽legend

[@OitsCody]

we are all extremely proud of you and your energy and compassion for this project is a great thrill to my day. thanks for being a great person, i look up to you sir.

[@edwardcokley9224]

Amen to that I'm old honda head sitting here thinking the same exact thing

[@errorsk2188]

I just got a rusty Corrola, it needs rust repair on the fenders, and every time I think "Man I don't think I can fix this" I just think about how you welded an entire car together, and it does bring a lot of inspiration. Keep on *grinding* man !

[@Legendcraft5000]

This is awesome that you can finally show how and what you did on your old 240s. I’m probably going to tub my s13 coupe the same way while I’m rebuilding my ka24de. Thanks man I look forward to seeing part 2!

[@edwardcokley9224]

Just something to keep in mind budd, if your trying to trace a edge like your trailer fender to strut tower you can sometimes use a washer and a marker. Put the tip of the marker thru the hole in the washer and you can use a finger tip to hold the washer/then slide your hand and follow the line you want to cut.

[@PrizzaMike]

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that one haha

[@edwardcokley9224]

@@PrizzaMike works great if you ever need to cut something to fit against a wall in a house too like flooring or shelfs too

[@savagecabbage9993]

I think the most amazing part of these videos is that you're showing how you're doing, what you're doing. It might seem wrong but I'm kinda glad that of all the people for this to happen to, it's this awesome guy who wants to show other people how to do insane comeback projects like this one. I love seeing your videos keep it going 💪

[@StormHawksHD]

i just realised you do the exaxt same thing with your phone. Magnetic case on the side of the car while you work on it... and is it a note 9 too? Are we twins??

[@PrizzaMike]

Haha that's awesome! My phone is a galaxy s10+ Close enough haha

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

Keep going mate, I’ve loved watching every episode of this rebuild and I think you’re such an inspiration to the car community. Love from England ❤️🤍

[@danielfuks]

well, im just some random guy from another side of the world but I am a big fan of your project. I just can't belive how much can be done by one person, so much skills and smart ideas. You are a true legend, keep it up, I'll be watching this project till the end greetings form Poland

[@Gsr_automotive]

I'm speaking really late, but wouldn't a tucked radiator be better than cutting up the cross member?

[@PrizzaMike]

That's a good question I prefer the notched support vs a tucked radiator I've heard alot of people having cooling problems with a tucked radiator since the airflow to the radiator is decreased (closer to intercooler) Parts availability and pricing is also more so out of accessible range for a tucked radiator set up

[@RayquazaKing04]

Its coming along SO WELL! Time really flies with progress!

[@PrizzaMike]

For real tho! Time has been flying like crazy lately!

[@thathobbyguy6774]

Yo? Rayquaza? Guess who it is. 69 Mustang Boss from the cord 🤟

[@alexh1218]

Well done on everything man, your passion for the chassis, skills and attitude go a long way into make this one of the best channels on KZbin! I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the build and can’t wait to see it driving again!

[@tunizieca9373]

After the 180/200sx is done i really want to see you work truck shine. She deserves that!!!

I gotta ask, aren't you worried about the structural integrity of this?

Reassembled the same way it’s done factory, strong as any other 240😂

You done a amazing job with this car you should be proud of yourself it was a big job to take on cant wait to see this drifting round again not long now watched this from day one keep up the good work brother

Much appreciated! Looking forward to that first engine start up haha 🙌

Appreciate you homie 🙏🔥

Just got my Chaser back on the road after blowing the engine 5 months ago. Your videos were a big factor in me just getting in the garage and knocking it out. Thanks for that and convincing me to utilize lists lol

[@PrizzaMike]

That's so awesome! Super hyped you got your project up and running again 🤘🔥

[@nick39691]

Probably doesn't matter on this but on like radiator clamps it's best to alternate the clamps. One on the left and one on the right. Something to do with the twisting of the hose when you tighten it.

[@PrizzaMike]

Interesting! Never thought about it that way. Thanks for the tip

[@kawaiirunnersdriftclub]

Oh damn, my birthday, gonna fix stuff on my car and a PrizzaMike video! CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!! Keep it up the good work bro!

I love watching your progress man, I did the exact same thing with my s14 with the trailer fenders and I did exactly what you're avoiding, I put the tubs in made them perfect then had to figure out intercooler pipe for the 2jz. It all worked but point is, tubbed bays are where it's at

[@m8team436]

I'm looking forward to see you drive your custom 240sx again

[@zipone_1726]

Recently found your channel, really enjoy it. I don't have a 240 or integra. But love the building content.

[@ashermorales8276]

I love how optimized your editing is. There’s enough screen time of each thing you do for it to make sense, but the same clip doesn’t play for so long that it gets boring and skipped past. Your worded explanations of things are also short, to the point, and easy to understand. Keep up the great work,

[@rosstihh2220]

Fire! Learned a lot today.... once again. I love this channel!! Thank you, Mike! 🙏❤

I have a question. Are you worried about the structural integrity of the frame with all the cuts and different things you have done to it? And love the hard work you have continuously put out!!!

[@phonkcy2918]

I learn so much things on your video! I always waiting for a next video!

[@Dehqo]

Maybe you can extent the intake tube so the filter will be next to the radiator?

[@mk42grevious90]

You left off putting the hood back on your gf's are, not working on yours 😂😂

[@zupra1834]

I would think that tube front would be pretty nice for what you’re going for

[@lowercase.]

this is why saturday is my favourite day of the week, insane props for actually putting in the time to do this properly. so many people would have gotten a new shell and lost the original car

[@qua_szn]

Hey man so i started welding my 3 big holes i had in my floor bored behind pass seat driver seat and clutch pedal area , it’s completely patch and i sealed it and came out nice and solid , now im stuck on the underneath now it looks like 2 layers of floor underneath wen u look under what do i do for the bottom of each side that i pached up

[@jamesvesely131]

Man’s making magic happen! Love this progress!

[@brownhairdude1939]

i hope that you fix the rust problem in the car ! Its going to be a big broblem in the future if you dont. im excited to see the 240 running again

[@plantedrabbit3]

Your uploads are always the perfect motivation to go work on my own cars

[@luisgrandez3121]

But is it possible to Get the engine bay stock without having to put tubes after a crash like yours?

[@paavojarvenpaa1723]

Man I just got my schassis on the road after 2 years and thought I was satisfied with it but after watching this it might get on the jackstands soon😅

[@sankuy6911]

First 240 shell with an engine ive seen 😮(lmao jk)

[@RA-uj3nm]

Great info 👍👍. Unbelievable progress.

[@hashslinginhasher]

not sure if someone asked this already but how come you didnt tube your front end rather than going stock?

[@Tahaaslamm__]

Paint the entire car now, engine bay and entire car so you can put the motor and everything in so it looks clean.

[@kami5518]

Run a pipe from the turbo thru that hole in the rad support and place a filter in the front bumper, more cold more ponies
