In a thrilling saga of automotive transformation, the daring team at throtl has embarked on a monumental quest with their $300 Nissan 300CX project. Their mission? To elevate this humble machine into a roaring $30,000 beast. With an SR20 engine meticulously crafted in-house, boasting forged pistons and rods, the team dives headfirst into the intricate process of oil priming, coolant fittings installation, and turbo line plumbing. As the engine roars to life with Motul 10W40 oil coursing through its veins, the stage is set for a symphony of power and precision.
Amidst the adrenaline-fueled frenzy, the team meticulously fits a thermostat set housing and a Maws Works upper radiator hose adapter kit, ensuring every component aligns with surgical precision. The installation of a Platinum Racing Products R35 GTR ignition coil kit adds a touch of finesse to the powerhouse in the making. As they navigate the rugged terrain of custom brake line kits and cooling system mounts, the team's resolve remains unshaken, fueled by a relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
With the looming specter of a sweepstakes to win an F8 M3 and $20,000 cash looming over them, the team presses on, undeterred. The intricate dance of fitting coolers for power steering and engine oil, coupled with the delicate art of fabricating brackets, showcases their unwavering commitment to perfection. As the SR20 engine finds its rightful place within the 300ZX, overcoming subframe modifications and mounting challenges, a sense of triumph reverberates through the workshop. With each pedal modified, each panel meticulously crafted, and each component seamlessly integrated, the $300 Nissan 300CX emerges as a phoenix reborn, ready to conquer the asphalt jungle with unbridled ferocity.
