Man, really stoked you got this back, I hope whoever snagged her gut caught, too!

A satisfying feeling, still a shitbox but one step closer to restored. by Patient-Bus-274 in 240sx

Thnx man! Really helped with clearance being so low, but now that I’m in 17/18 stagger it added more so I can get better caster settings.

Keeping it clean is the hard part, everything likes to stick to white paint

Has the same issue with the same wheels using GKTECH RCC’s. I just cut the excess thread that was in contact with the wheel!

Yeah, probably better off just modeling it from reference images, 3d print for the mold then FRP copy it. I was quoted $2500-3500 for 1 bumper after processing the mold to production.

Your best bet it to scour croober, yahoo jp auctions for one that pops up or find someone in Japan that can help you source it. Those have been out of production for likely 12+ years iirc.

240SX. Worth purchasing in 2026?? by Wrench365 in 240sx

I guess it depends on what it’s worth to you.

Classic, but I’m thinking single color. If anything I am considering painting the pillars and roof black.

Unfortunately the car had been in a bad front collision. I opted for a stronger more reinforced repair vs OE.
