NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell” For those of you who have been following the four-year build of Project Vert, you’ll know it’s undergone many radical changes… from the high-horsepower KA-T build to the suspension work to the removal of all top-related stuff, to the hacking of the fenders and addition of […]
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 […]

NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”… At last update, Project Vert was done and rolling, and looking clean.

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.

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 […]
