Bought an X

Right now I am just daily driving my Xterra and finishing up my play toy. I eventually will start a build for the Xterra.
I have had this 1990 Nissan 240sx for a couple year now. I have daily drove it with 268k miles and never gave me a problem till a couple months ago when the head gasket gave out. Then I decided it was time to make some power.
Here when I first bought the car.
Then my battery light came on and I figured the alternator was going out, but it wasn't. Know I have some wire grimling causing that. So I installed a SAFC Neo. Which you splice inbetween the engine harness. You can see your throttle percent, RPM, and alt voltage.
Few months later, I noticed I needed brakes soon. So I started saving some money and upgraded to Nissan 300zx brakes. I went from a single piston caliber to a 4 piston caliber and a 8 inch rotor to a 11 inch rotor. The caliber bolts right up but I need to convert my 4 lug car to 5 lug. Which is done by using hubs from a 95-98 240sx
And this is how the car was after the 5 lug swap and big brake set up
Got tired of factory Nissan wheels and upgraded to some 17x10 inch wheels all the way around
I went to pull a part with some buddies and I saw a Nissan NX1600. I rushed over to the car and was hoping it had one part. The gauge cluster. A 240sx had a lame analog cluster. On the other hand the NX does not. This mod was very time consuming and just plain sucked, but looks so good.
Now we get to the last couple months. The motor build. Start with this
Add these
Plus a 268 intake and 272 exhaust with a .444 inch lift cam
Well get you this
Then add this to the mess
It will look something like this.
