Straightening the 240sx Frame and Removing Type X Wing, Windows, and More on my S13 2022

This video marks the second full day of working at the frame shop with Elmarc. We were able to make some great progress on the 240sx. We were able to remove the type x wing, tails, windows, and more. There is still so much that needs to be done, but we have a plan for the car! And I'm excited to keep progressing on my 240sx in 2022!
I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up. 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.
The day I finished it, I was in a very big crash and it totaled my Nissan 240sx. Since I've but all of my blood, sweat, tears, and savings into it, I decided the build isn't over. I am determined to fix it, no matter how long it takes.
If you're interested in the story behind this 240sx, I've made a playlist including all related content!

Good shit dude, there are many positive things that came from this collision, for one it’s the reason I discovered your social media and KZbin channel, I hope that it’s bringing you enough subscribers to actually make something from it or at the least get you enough attention so companies want to help you out and send parts and shit. I got your back because you stayed positive and are showing people that cars don’t have to be thrown away just because some idiot smashed into it. Im looking forward to watching more and seeing this thing through the process. Watch out for those stinky purple headed trolls 👾 that think they know everything, stay humble and fuck anyone who tries to get you down. #MikePrizzaforpresident2024

[@agoodballet]

By the way, for anyone that doesn’t know, the back quarter panel is way harder to fix and straighten than the front fender, subframe and suspension parts. Don’t cry about it though.

[@TheRowdyRudy]

why aren't more people intrigued by this? The man literally had his drift car completely & utterly totaled, & instead of claiming defeat & trashing it in a junkyard, is bringing it back to life WITHOUT the help of 10,000 sponsors, this is the epitome of respect!

[@kalel389]

90% of us lost dream builds with damage equal to barely half this and noone wanted to help us restore them... kid was def blessed with help

[@kalel389]

And for the time and cost... i wouldve bought a damn shell... he couldve bought this car hella faster than building it

[@suffolkandgood]

It’s so refreshing to see this being fixed and made great again. Lots of people would have just reshelled it into another 240, goes to show there must be some sentiment in that car for you…sending big love from the UK 🇬🇧 🤙🏼

[@joshjennings4045]

Me too mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿(Sending love from London) can’t wait to see it back on the road rippin!! 🤟

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

And from Sheffield ♥️

[@joshparks269]

I was patiently waiting for an update, glad to see you’re back in the states and back on the 240! Can’t wait to see this get completely fixed, still hard to believe y’all are gonna save it but I’m glad you are - not many of them left so definitely glad to see it not going to the crusher

[@BrokenVivas]

You're mad ( in a good way ) for trying to repair that. I admire your dedication to the car. It'll be straight before you know it at this rate.

[@farouqiamin7894]

I'm proud of you man, seriously your attitude is unlike 90% of the car community online, you seem more real than many of these clowns out here on youtube just chasing likes and fame, you have deep connection with this car, I feel the same about my 95 240sx, as of now I still don't see myself parting with my car, its just so rare and has tons of quality aftermarket parts, seeing people beat these cars and trash them is sad imo, hope this all works out for you

[@kra5hed]

It's insane to think you are actually saving the car, most people would just get another shell and swap everything into that, props to you guys for saving it

[@iheartgs400]

Take your time on build Mike, it’ll definitely pay off. Glad to see you stick with this car, rebuilding cars like this isn’t for everyone cup of tea really takes dedication, resources and knowing the right shop to work with you.

[@ERetroAutoDesign]

I was very sad to see the accident video, but thank you so much for not throwing away your wonderful car. We look forward to seeing your car perfectly restored.

[@Katsinum]

dude i hit that notification so fast

[@Blink240sx]

Like the saying goes “If man built it, then man can fix it”.

[@SpicyBreakfastGang]

Much respect man, to see you claw back from something like this and not give up is a massive display of passion and sheer will. I look so forward to seeing this thing rip once more!

[@GrahamsGuitars]

Happy to see progress!

[@haxer944]

I've recently bought the dream car of mine - 1989 Nissan 200sx S13 (just like yours, but European version). It's also in an awful condition - no engine, no transmission and seats and rust is eating this poor S13. I got this relatively cheap, and when the car has arrived, everyone was telling me not to buy this, it's a piece of garbage and it's a nonsense. But I still got it. I see in this car amazing opportunity to turn it into the drift car of my dreams. And I'm willing to take as much time as it needs, to make it perfect. And seeing your video and motivation, to fix your car in SUCH an awful condition - man, you are giving me chills and motivation to do the same with mine. Keep it up man. Keep it up

[@Faceless-person]

I’m into S12’s, not s13’s, but s12’s. I crashed my first ever s12 coupe back in 2019 and bent the front portion of the frame. Thinking it would cost more to fix than to just get a new one, i gave my car away to a guy who completely stripped it. My first ever car, my baby, the thing i worked SO HARD for no longer exists. Today i have a mint s12, fully loaded, turbo, and a manual (the other one was an auto) and i still regret giving my little rusty crapbox away. Seeing you fix this one makes me really happy and nostalgic. Shows me my car could’ve been fixed and i could still be driving it to this day. Keep on trucking! It will pay off one day

[@seth8105]

Glad to see progress being made! I feel like a funny design could be you holding the “quick release” side skirt over your head in one hand and the wing in the other.

[@PrizzaMike]

I dig this 🤘

[@meecmills]

Love your drive, ambition, and commitment to this chassis. It's refreshing to see someone not give up on their car because of something so catastrophic. Goes to show that you really CAN fix anything if you're committed to it. Keep up the work my man!

[@Darksonic21]

I admire the dedication you put into this car, is really amazing, can't wait to see it back on the track

[@psementalist]

I'm so happy to see the 240 being fully totally fixed. Instead of sitting in a salvage yard rusting and rotting away. Plus I can see how much you love your car i myself can relate i have that same passion for loving my Ford Probe

[@Katsinum]

I think you made some good progress there, I'm excited for this journey. Also big shoutout to Elmarc, merch would be dope too.

[@AHRidings]

I’m glad you’re trying to fix it. When you were in Gresham, OR, I was in the turn lane in my wagon on my way home and you pulled up next to me and I was amazed at how clean it was 🥲

[@PrizzaMike]

I hope someday we can relive that experience 🤘

[@khronoh8577]

Love the dedication to rebuild this “unrepairable” 240, fuck the haters! I would do the same to mine if anything happened like that too!

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

This crash has almost become a blessing. These repair videos are so entertaining to watch and it’s provided this channel with loads more subscribers and viewers. I can’t wait to see what becomes of this poor s13 🤣

[@DOProductionsNL]

Yo I loved that pro tip dude, I always put every nut & bolt back on to what they came from during disassembly and it's never let me down. Even when parts are off a car for extended periods of time i've been starting a job already anxious if imma find everything back again, until i get the parts and realise 'ah shit yeah, i left the nuts on it when i pulled it, pfew'

[@jdmfl0w]

Making the 240,great again 💯🤟 can't wait for the next upload!

[@pranaidesingh2011]

I watch your videos not only coz you a up coming legend.... I watch for the positivity and motivation

[@kriskrisminer]

didn't expect next vid that fast but i won't complain

[@2Large4U]

Nice man! Excited to see progress. Good video format too, straight forward

[@FuZZyBoij]

cant wait to see the 240 back, really gives me motivation to work on mine :D

[@therealnatexedge]

I'm so fascinated with this entire journey

[@AWD_T]

Can’t believe you’re trying to fix this man. Props to you for even taking it on. Best of luck man!!

[@FiftySixishTV]

I was very impressed when you got that quarter glass off without breaking it

[@trunglequoc542]

Haven't been so invested since B is for build S30Z/BMW project.

[@ForeverF1n1ty]

Happy to see the car improving :)

[@LuksJoel]

it is awesome what u are doing! it taste better when you can work in your car. keep going bro! be strong and the best wish for you!

[@CLS55-Fonz]

its a treat getting a notification about a new 240 video from pizzamike

[@josenavas3972]

Fuiste a nica gracias 🙏 God bless u brother toda mi family son nica.

[@andrew13131]

watching the frame machine pull it straight is so wild

[@davidjrlopez51]

I'm so excited to see this thing finished man so I can only imagine how excited you are. If this car makes you happy then you continue restoring it bro fuck what everyone else says and thinks. I think it's fucking awesome and I'm excited to see it all done

[@alecfleming3213]

Wait what?! Bro, that's insanity to try and save! Now I have to watch, I don't think that's possible! Have to see!

[@Justadude69118]

I have a moment and feeling that you gonna fix the car and come alive again, and you did Good luck!!!!

[@TheRealhiphop91]

I gotta say man I admire the love you have for this car! Can't wait to see it finished!

[@OPEK.]

new viewer here, long time 240 owner. im sorry about your frame rail bro. the left side looks like it was absolutely fucking mint

[@zerbored]

So glad I get to see this journey from the beginning

[@Karydman]

Shirt idea: you trying to get the hood of the the 240 on the frame rack. Btw keep it up man! Stoked to see it sideways again soon🤙🏼

[@otis5757]

your video popped up in my recommendations, the first one you made on the crash, haven't missed a video since. hope it goes well for you and big love from Sweden

[@permanentmeanstreak9054]

your attitude and outlook are great. keep going.

[@Denis_Vujic]

Welcome back to the states! Can’t wait to see the rebuild on this car! Keep up the awesome work!

[@AllesschrauberNRW]

I would think about adding a roll cage to get some strength back in the chassis and some safety for the the future.

[@yousifal.2165]

Would be great

[@PrizzaMike]

Cage is 100% on the list! Long way to go tho lol

[@jdmhub7205]

He loves this 240 so much)

[@drftintaco]

You need a shirt that says "whats love got to do with it" yall jammin in there @13:04. 80s style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@iPhone3GS_68]

I’ve never been a huge fan of Nissan but I’m happy that you’re saving that 240 it deserves that chance and with those cars being rare and yours not having rust it’s a good thing you saved it

[@mattwallace3195]

I’m saving for my first s-chassis probably ganna go with an s-13 and seeing this happen to you is making me scared 😂 I’m glad your okay I remember seeing it on fb when the crash happened, good luck to you man! Happy to see your channel is growing so fast!!

[@kostygarage4328]

Bro if you post more often you could easily make KZbin your job if you wanted to. Your editing and the way you do videos is super entertaining, keep up the good work, do whatever makes you happy.

[@kio51423]

I'm still here and still supporting the repair/rebuild process 👌 Keep It Going! Never Give Up! 🙌 Loving the "quick-release" by the way 😂

[@AlanArian]

I love the energy you put in to the rebuild, each video is better and better 💪

[@therealjhall833]

This is a wild undertaking, can’t wait to see the finished product

[@Matt-pf3th]

Really been looking forward to seeing the progress. Good Deed bro

[@marcuslaporte9001]

Heat gun on the quarter window adhesive would have helped a lot! Nice work though brother

[@KUROSAKURA01]

Glad to see you seem to be doing well both physically and mentally. You got this.

[@alexjdmnation21]

That’s awesome to see the progression 🤟 it actually doesn’t look too bad you’ll be able to get it back on the road soon.

[@alexnerinmendo7692]

I think that for a design, a cool motivating design could be: never give Up, and a drawing or an image of fixing the car. Also like i said in the other video, its nice from you fixing the car, others maybe would just scrapped It. Some love from Spain!

[@mxt6pe]

woke up today to a big surprise woooo, PROGRESS BOIII

[@marquiswilliams6251]

Still following this build as promised, wish you the best of luck!

[@Josstuka]

Honestly I love these videos and watching the process unfold. It’s just genuinely enjoyable to just start the video lay back and watch, I hope you’re able to get this thing back on the road soon! After seeing your other videos and work you’ve done in the past with the entire RHD swap I have full confidence you’re not the kind of guy who will just give up. Keep going! This is nothing but a high piece count Lego set to you and I love it

[@PrizzaMike]

[@leptres]

You've got the right hand drive conversion alraedy. May as well buy some 180sx windows now.

[@KUROSAKURA01]

Also, front of the shirt should have the small design(same as bumper sticker) of the crashed over the heart, back should have the fixed version of the 240 with both of you standing next to it with his shop name either over it or as a background in the same style as the sticker

[@AllTheBoost]

Good luck bro

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]
