The Nissan 240SX Project Has Been Sold

The Nissan car is gone from our garage now, and replaced with something that will be just a little bit more exciting to play with.  We will keep our garage activities updated, for this new CRA ARCA race car.  The plan is to convert it over, for use at the local short track.

Our garage is always open, on the world wide web, @

Ultrasonic Parts Cleaning And Degreasing Service In Our Shop

The Very Best Way To Clean Your Small Parts

Ultrasonic cleaning systems send high frequency sound waves riping through an ultrasonic cleaning/degreasing solution, leaving superheated bubbles in the waves wake. When these bubbles (cavatations) colapse (decavitation), the heat and energy of the their implosions work with the cleaning solution to remove dirt, oils, resude, and oxidation from the the contaminated item. This type of cleaning is ideal for carburetor components, non-electrica ignition parts, and a variety of other automotive items, as well.
We are now offering the best, and least abrasive way to clean small automotive parts, as a mail order service.  You can send us up to 12 small items, which we will clean and return to you, within 3 to 5 working days.  This is the same way jewelery stores and opticians clean what they repair, but we use a degreasing cleanser, to remove any and all grime, from your parts.  The cost for the service is $39.95, which includes return shipping, within the 48 states.  We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover,  and Paypal.

Stainless Steel DOT Approved Brake Lines For Your Nissan 240SX

Call Us At 866-229-7939 For A Free Stainless Steel Brake Line Informational Flyer Today!!

If you run your car at maximum braking on the track or on the street, the brake lines are a big consideration that are often over looked.  Stock rubber lines expand under hard braking, and result in a soft pedal when you want it least.  They are constaintly exposed to the elements on the street, which decreases their life span.  Plus these lines can fail on the inside, when you cannot see the issues until it's too late.

If you want to keep your car street legal, then plastic coated stainless steel lines are the only answer.   We offer replacement lines that will bolt right into place on your Nissans existing brake system.  You need to beware of on line, low cost brake lines, that often are made in South America, or China.  They do not meet DOT standards, and are subject to failure to faulty craftsmanship.

Our shop is an authorzed Brakequip dealer, and we use a state of the art crimping machine, and 2700 psi. pressure tester, to insure that the highest quality standards are met.  We can custom build lines for your car, and offer ready to go street/race packages, complete with the necessary hardware to get the replacement job done, quickly on a Saturday morning.

Nissan 240SX Suspension Mods

The only serious choice for track day or drift car suspension is to go with coil over shocks.  They are not inexpensive, but there are some distinct advantages, that come with using them.  Good reasons, include getting the shock as close to the center line of the tire as possible, for a reduced overall motion ratio.  This allows running a softer spring and staying in better contact with the track surface, which is why you see coil overs on so many race cars.  Ride height adjustment is another feature, since  these shocks are fairly easy to raise up or down (see the blue collar,  in the photo below).  Next up will be five bolt hubs, which is a fairly involved job.  Bring your big hammer, and a lot of determination.
