 A street racers dream...

Wow! This Nissan has the best of both worlds, a high powered American V8 under the hood and a body with unique Japanese styling. This 1991 Nissan 240 SX S13 Coupe started out as a stock
street car then it was turned into a super street-sleeper.


 
The builder of this 240 SX didn't cut any corners, the work is top notch and only the best parts were used. Under the hood resides a Chevrolet 327 C.I. small-block that features a Weiand intake manifold and a big Holley Carb. 


 

 

The top end includes Vortec aluminum heads with 1.7 roller rockers, their covered with polished valve covers for some contrast against all that white paint. An MSD ignition system gets the sparks flying and big custom big tube headers dump into a full 2.5inch exhaust system. 

Backing up the hot small-block is a turbo 350 transmission with a shift-kit and 2500 RPM stall torque converter. The chassis was completely worked over with a tubbed out 9-inchFord rear end hanging on custom ladder bars, it's filled with 4:1:1 gears. Wilwood disk- brakes make this American-Japanese hot rod stop in a hurry.
 


The interior features a full array of Auto-meter gauges and a six point roll cage and Sparco belts keeps
the occupants safe. 

 

 

 

 

 


 

For rolling stock big & littles wheels from Weld Racing were fitted with bigHoosier 29x15.5 radials on the rear and skinny radials on the front.

Ten years were spent on this build spanning over four states; New Jersey, Connecticut, Georgia and now Florida.    The story is extensive and Paul has many people to thank. Paul stated that this his first EFI project and its been a blast getting together. Lots of engineering went into planning and executing the build, he had two machinists, one body guy, one chassis shop, and an engine & transmission builder, the list goes on & on !     Paul states he is still wrapping up technical issues and getting ready for the road.   Paul stated that the street tires and wheelie bars don't jive but he had the chassis shop build them for him so he can get her on the

  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him.   The father and son
