NICO Project 240sx – Part 1
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… This project began like many others: Not a “project” at all. Shortly after taking over operations of NICOclub, and having spent countless hours with the members of 240sx.org, I began to hear the inevitable question: “So, why doesn’t the owner of 240sx.org even OWN […]

NICO Project 240sx – Part 9
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… At last update, Project Vert was done and rolling, and looking clean. Reliable power, good handling, and head-turning looks are a great basis for any project car, and the Convertible has them in spades. However, too much is never enough, and I wasn’t satisfied with the […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 8
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… In the last installment, we left off with the engine installation of Project Vert nearly complete. Another modification done was the relocation all of the underhood wiring, so as to be “invisible” upon inspection. The two large fuse boxes under the hood were disassembled and re-routed […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 7
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… After the exhaustion of building, fabricating, installing, tuning and testing had worn off, and the smoke had cleared, it was time to assess the situation. Several weeks passed before I even had the courage to walk into the garage and look at my car. Self-doubt racks […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 6
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… All those good looks are great, but the true weakness of the convertible came to light one day sitting in traffic… Some kids in a late-90’s Acura CL were peepin’ my ride, and asking some questions: “Is that a Silvia?” “Does it have an SR?” […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 5
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… Looks like I skipped a very important mod in Part IV, so I’ll tell you a little about that one here! A little history first, if I may: The 240sx Convertible was built during a time when automakers were experimenting with door-mounted belts to meet Federal […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 4
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… “More Power” Now, what car doesn’t need more power? I mean, that’s what we’re all after, right? While the convertible was starting to look good, it simply didn’t have the power to back up the looks – Fine and dandy if all you do is […]
NICO Project 240sx – Part 3
NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… “I thought you said you were going to put wheels on it?” Now, my wife had already relegated herself to the fact that this car was going to get new wheels, and it seemed everywhere we went, she pointed out wheels she thought would look good […]
