In today's video, I'll be finishing the 180SX "Kouki" conversion on my RB25 powered 240SX! If you haven't seen the last few episodes, I put the playlist link below! I've been working toward doing a complete 180SX conversion for a few years now and I'm finally ready to start getting everything fitted before the car is ready for body/paint, whenever that'll be. It's an exciting time to say the least! Be sure to check out my past few videos to see installs of the front clip, taillights and spoiler! In this video though, I'll show you all of the steps I took to fit the side skirts and rear valences. Enjoy!

Man you just created a time piece for NISSAN Heritage IMO. Quality PArts, rare parts, complete overhaul. This is what a serious rebuild is about. I love this. I got a RARE Greddy S14a front bumper to install but don't have the cash to build the rest of the car lol. One day I will though and I rather do it all in one clean shot so I can be as happy as you will be when this is all done.

@@saabkyle04 Thank You for this excellent content for those like me who want a RELIABLE build without all the bandages, NISSAN Calisthenics all the way through no JZ or LS or what the hell ever else. I regret not getting a NAVAN 3pc wing set and side skirts because today they are extremely rare and cost almost $500 more that a few years ago, now its nearly $800 just for official NAVAN side skirts when it was 250-300. So my point is what you created a Masterpiece IMO. I like the 240sx to be reliable, sensible HP, daily driver, and at least come close to performance like a damn 911 or GTR on a track. I Love the drift scene, its entertaining , but for me I love my 240sx more so I need it to last.

I still remember his suspension over haul videos on this car. Crazy to see how far it’s come ! Great job and keep it up !!
This car is coming together amazingly. I can't wait to see how it's gonna look all finished up! Amazing work, and the way you didn't give up and learned enough to be able to do this all yourself is an example to follow for many people with dreams of building project cars. I envy your endurance, I did give up on my first project and since regretted it a lot.
This car has come so far, looks good as always. Good work brotha
It looks awesome! Can't wait to see it all painted! I know it will be really awesome with that color, also, i just can't get enough of the sound of that RB, it sounds absolutely amazing! 😁
It looks soooo good with all the Kouki parts! Defiantly going to be a masterpiece when it's done.

@@saabkyle04 Combined with the current stance and wheels it'll look fantastic! Bit of an aside here, but who would've thought that you'd be building sick cars with your channel now? I've been subscribed to you since my first year of high school. I'm about to graduate college. I remember the days of watching your dealership in-depth reviews...look at how far you've taken the channel bro! From dealerships to building cars...man, it's been so cool to see. I've been so impressed with how your style has changed and improved, but you've also never lost your core message. I still get excited about your videos the same way I did back in high school. I actually purchased your Let Her Run tee years ago, and occasionally I'll wear it somewhere and some dude will go "oh, I know SaabKyle! He's super cool!". So yeah, man. Keep up the spirit of these videos because fans like me continue to love it. Keep putting out quality. I'm so excited to see what you do with the 240 (and the channel) next. Thanks for continuing to chat to a long-time fan, it means a lot. *Edit: Just got to tell you: my all-time favorite video of yours is that R33 Skyline you filmed in 2014.

You need a very stable hand for those drills and you've done a beautiful and clean job, Kyle! Absolutely love what you are doing with this car. You are truly defining the word "Restomod" with this one, haha. I am curious to see how this all turns out when you get a nice fresh coat of paint on there, but I guess one needs to be super careful when dismounting and mounting these parts for the painting again? I am also curious if you plan to add an exhaust system to this, or you intend to keep the system that you made. Since you have a good partnership with Borla (who also did something for Grand Marquis), I was wondering if such a collab would come..
