There's a guy on eBay that sells Type X tail light harness adapters that plug into your stock wiring. That's what I did so I didn't have to cut any OEM wiring.
Whats intriguing about this project seeing the build in-depth a-z! The enthusiasm of an old school car being modernised! Much appreciated your time editing and thorough planning 👍🏼
Wow Kyle i can't believe it's been a year, you've done a lot behind the scenes getting those parts together it looks like a lot of work. I do love the S13, but for a few years now i've been hankering for a really nice S12. Keep up the good work.
tallbozo That's so cool to see another FB Build! Good luck my bro, rotaries are a money pit, i really want to build a 1997 Nissan 240SX and RB26 swap it, and do a restomod on it like Kyle is, just a matter of affording it
YES! Those are the taillights I love on these cars. Since I saw a black 180 in a japanese magazine with volk gold alloys and those red tails I've loved this car. Thx for the vid, keep up the good work!
The detailed reviews are the amonst the best. The 240 videos are incredibly interesting and for sure refreshing as other car builds have unlimited budgets and miss the realness most people experience. Keep up the awesomeness.
Wassup Kyle. I just wanted to tell you how you impacted my life. I first found your channel when I was 14 and back then I wasn’t that much of a car enthusiast but as I started watching your videos I actually turned into one. (I didn’t have a TH-cam account at that time btw) I actually still remember my first video I watched from your channel it was a 2014 grand Cherokee review. And after 2 years of watching your videos I finally decided to buy a mustang GT 2015 :) after crashing one of my other cars (luckily no one was hurt). I think I actually found the best TH-cam channel ever :D.
Your doing a great job working on the 240SX. The car is now in much better shape than it used to be. That Nissan Armada is very nice. Back in the fall we just got a new 2017 Nissan Armada Platinum and I love it. Our Armada has a grey exterior with a black leather interior. We were originally going to get a Toyota Sequoia but it was not big enough to pull our new camper. We got a full size body on frame suv because we got a new camper and it’s huge. Our camper is the Mallard M26. I did go to the 2018 Auto show in Boston and I checked out the new platinum reserve trim level for the Armada. I noticed the Platinum reserve is a little more fancy than the regular Platinum. The one I checked out had a maroon exterior with the same color interior. I even checked the Infinity QX80 and it the same thing as the Armada accept it’s more luxurious and more high quality.
You sir, have gone right down the restoration rabbit hole. Bravo! A big undertaking to be sure, but it's great to see you work on cars as well as review them.
Anyone else think of fast and furious 1 when he showed all the parts!? Also as a, fellow S13 hatch owner these videos have been great and extra relatable. Even though I don't have the budget you have, you've inspired me to complete my vision for my car. Like you said sometimes it'll take longer to get it done but it'll be worth it in the end.
I know! They're super hard to find, plus you need to find them with the weatherstrip already on them and in good condition. You can't buy it separate :(
I like where you are going with this. Whenever someone tells me they are turning their 240 into a drift car what I hear is them saying "I'm going to spend a year building it just to send it to a junkyard a few months later"
I'd love more content of your builds as you're talking about; however, I still love your reviews as they're copacetic in their consistency, which allows the viewers a more realistic idea of what the vehicle is really like. thanks for the videos, cheers! Matt in Avl
Stuff like that just isn't worth it anymore, sad to say because I loved to do that. youtube is a very different space now, it's hard to gauge what will do well and what won't.
Saabkyle04 Thanks for the reply, I know you hear it all the time but you made my day a little better, and so far today sucks. What I mean is that what attracted me to the channel is the in-depth reviews, best on YT btw, of cars 5 to 10 to even 15 years old that are affordable but some are still comparable performance or luxury cars. I see that the landscape here changes and I'll stick around as best I can, I do appreciate your style and content so just keep doing what you are doing and we'll keep coming back.
Hey Kyle, just a suggestion, if you haven't already maybe you could post some pictures on TH-cam since they have that feature now. It would help the few of us that aren't on Instagram to keep up with your progress in between videos. Either way keep up the great work. Your exceptional work ethic is mind boggling at times. 😊
My brother has a 89 240sx coupe, he's fully restored it like you have with all new everything, but he went with a ls3 swap lol he's got probably 28 to 30k in it over 6 years haha
Way too much haha. This is my first real investment into content for this channel. We'll see how it pays off in the long run, but it's certainly opened a lot of new doors and I'm so thankful for it! Plus, even though it's stressful at times, it's so much fun! I have a legitimate goal to work towards. It's far more fulfilling than just doing car reviews!
Awesome kyle! I was hoping you would do type x. My rb25 s13 is almost taking the same path, it will be getting tuned on March 7th and then I have a full type x kit to install along with paint. I like the "Resto-mod" style as that's the same style I'm aiming for as well!
Not sure yet. I really want to attempt it myself, but not having experience, it would be a big undertaking. The humble mechanic (Charles) has been super helpful. My wife and I will be moving soon to start building a house out in the country. I already have a shop I'm working on so I can have it ready to continue this and other project related content. I'll have some videos talking about all of that soon probably.
For your next project can you do a Z31 300zx please not many people show love to that Z and I think a lot of people would enjoy it and it’s a pretty cool car
Are u gonna do a body kit like what THAT DUDE IN BLUE has done to his 240. also what about a steering angle kit not so much for drifting but to eliminate that crappy front suspension.
I've thought about that, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I've put the brakes on interior stuff for a while till I get the suspension and engine finished!
He's not just a good TH-camr, he's a true car enthusiast.
Thank you Michael! :)
A 240SX video? Today was a good day.
Cameron Cruz ok ice cube
:)
Kyle, i love your videos. Im a huge car guy, and your gentle videos always help me relieve stress. Thanks for the content
Thank you for watching!
There's a guy on eBay that sells Type X tail light harness adapters that plug into your stock wiring. That's what I did so I didn't have to cut any OEM wiring.
YES, I will definitely be buying some of those.
Gimme the Link for it please I’ll appreciate it bro
It’s really is almost like a brand new car! At least it appears so for now! You never know with older cars! Another great video Kyle!
Thanks William!

Thank you Dan!!
This keeps me motivated on my project car! -1985 Mazda RX-7

Saabkyle04 Thanks Kyle! Can't wait to see the outcome of this absokute beauty!
YES! Those are the taillights I love on these cars. Since I saw a black 180 in a japanese magazine with volk gold alloys and those red tails I've loved this car. Thx for the vid, keep up the good work!
l
Thanks for watching!
Damn. This is what I dreamed of in the early 2000's. I never had the funds though. I'm really liking where you're taking this build. Very classy.
We really like the project car content!
Lots more coming!
The detailed reviews are the amonst the best. The 240 videos are incredibly interesting and for sure refreshing as other car builds have unlimited budgets and miss the realness most people experience. Keep up the awesomeness.
Thanks a lot Tom!

Very cool man, thanks for sharing!
You sir, have gone right down the restoration rabbit hole. Bravo! A big undertaking to be sure, but it's great to see you work on cars as well as review them.
Yessir, that's the truth haha, thanks for the support!
The attention to detail and cleanliness of this build are inspirational
Thanks buddy!
always detail and consistent glad to see, in your zone
I can't wait! Love s13's, especially yours, since you're restoring it.
Thanks Leo!
Your positive attitude always cheers me up
Very nice my man. You are living the dream! Love the 240SX, you are exactly building it like I would do.
Thanks a lot!!
Best project car on TH-cam, love the attention to detail. Keep it up Kyle!
Thank you for your support!!
Fantastic update video on the 240SX restomod!
Can't wait for more 240SX videos...
Good job!
Thanks so much!
Saabkyle04 No problem, buddy! (^_^)
I appreciate your gratitude.
Really enjoying this series! It's nice to see an actual 240sx build that doesn't involve hacking the car to bits. Keep up the good work!
Thanks pal, I appreciate that!
Anyone else think of fast and furious 1 when he showed all the parts!?
Also as a, fellow S13 hatch owner these videos have been great and extra relatable. Even though I don't have the budget you have, you've inspired me to complete my vision for my car. Like you said sometimes it'll take longer to get it done but it'll be worth it in the end.
Yessir, you got that right! Thank you so much, best of luck with your project!
Looks and sounds great, looking forward to seeing the vids of it all now 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
So freaking happy that you are doing a full type x conversion!!!!
Me too! :)
Hell yes, I told you I'd watch this later. Now is the perfect time brother!
Really makes me wanna wrench. Honestly cannot wait to see how your 240 turns out!
Me too! I'm really trying to make some progress happen over the next couple of weeks!
Can’t wait for this 240 to come together, hopefully I’ll see you driving it around NC
I'm sure you will at some point! Thanks pal!
Love this Older cars are much better built than todays plastic cars
I like the direction you're taking the 240 - looks great and will be very unique!
Thanks Scott, I think so too!
You earned my sub as soon as you revealed the type x stuff
Nice!! Your content and production quality has certainly carried over from your review videos to this series!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Robert!!
Also u need the 180sx quarter panel glasses that’s has the 180sx on it👌🏿
RB25luvGT35R whats the difference?
Matija Graho no different just the badges
I know! They're super hard to find, plus you need to find them with the weatherstrip already on them and in good condition. You can't buy it separate :(
Saabkyle04 not worth it in my opinion
I can't believe you have owned the 240 for a year and I have watched every single video you have made on the 240
Thank you Jonathan!
I love project car videos Kyle
I like where you are going with this.
Whenever someone tells me they are turning their 240 into a drift car what I hear is them saying "I'm going to spend a year building it just to send it to a junkyard a few months later"
Thanks Adam!
I'd love more content of your builds as you're talking about; however, I still love your reviews as they're copacetic in their consistency, which allows the viewers a more realistic idea of what the vehicle is really like. thanks for the videos, cheers! Matt in Avl
Thanks buddy, I'll have more of a mix of everything as time goes on :)
Yeah buddy! Your car is going to be incredible! I approve 10,000%!!!!
Thanks Jacob!
Time stamp 16:22
"It's not going to be that hard."
My God the CONFIDENCE!!!!!
🤔 I wonder what would happen after 3 years. Anyway, I love how this project’s going. Gratz, Kyle!👍🏻
Preciate the support!
Happy birthday 240SX fast back
If i did a build this is how i would do it. You the man!
Thanks bud!!
Load the OPTi video we progress in the past year looking forward to this year and the rest of the updates going to be a sick car when it’s done
That varsity jacket is fire as hell.
Dude, I love that thing haha, it's a Gumball 3000 jacket I got a while back, so nice!
Kyle you should give Chris from B is for Build a call and tell him what to do with his rx7. You're taste is that of a gentleman from Napa Valley.
Keep it up,keep it going.
Do more older cars most of us can afford again, 10k-20k budget is where the views are at
im thinking more like $2-$5K
Stuff like that just isn't worth it anymore, sad to say because I loved to do that. youtube is a very different space now, it's hard to gauge what will do well and what won't.

always heard great things about this company!

Either way keep up the great work. Your exceptional work ethic is mind boggling at times. 😊
Thank you bud! I will check that out!
Dude this whole build process has made me want to get a Silvia now ugh one day
They're great cars, you'd love it!
I'll take your 240sx when it's done
Thanks bro
My brother has a 89 240sx coupe, he's fully restored it like you have with all new everything, but he went with a ls3 swap lol he's got probably 28 to 30k in it over 6 years haha
Great to see all the progress!! If you end up needing help again you should definitely bring Charles back 🤘🏼
Charles is awesome, he's always willing to help, such a great guy!
Thanks Kyle. Made my day.
Thank you!!
Forged parts!!! Lit 🔥🔥
Bringing the 240’s parts in a new Nissan Armada makes the most sense.
Haha yeah man, it was perfect timing.
Great project, fantastic detail!
Thank you!!
Great update video! You have good taste.
Thanks man!
I'm really enjoying this project !!! BRAZIL !!!
Thank you Gustavo!!
howä?
Can’t wait for more content!
Type X body kits are nice they just super expensive lol
Yes they are haha
Love the build series!! Ive been chomping at the bit to see more videos. When are the rest of the rear end rebuild videos coming out?
Just uploaded the last part of the differential rebuild. I'm working on the others right now! Thanks bud!
Wonder how much he put into this car so far.. haha what a great life Kyle has!
Way too much haha. This is my first real investment into content for this channel. We'll see how it pays off in the long run, but it's certainly opened a lot of new doors and I'm so thankful for it! Plus, even though it's stressful at times, it's so much fun! I have a legitimate goal to work towards. It's far more fulfilling than just doing car reviews!
Saabkyle04 awesome haha
cant wait for more 240 videos 1 a week would be awesome
I wish that were possible haha, it would be awesome!
Hyped!
Love it keep up with good vids 💪😁
You got a lot of skill !
So exciting!!!!!
Awesome kyle! I was hoping you would do type x. My rb25 s13 is almost taking the same path, it will be getting tuned on March 7th and then I have a full type x kit to install along with paint. I like the "Resto-mod" style as that's the same style I'm aiming for as well!
Sick! That sounds so cool man, best of luck!
Thanks kyle! Keep on keeping on.
Keep up the good work bro👍
Thanks man!
Type x body are sick!
Great vid... Thanks for sharing
I cant wait for the next video
Woah, when we’re 25det swaps rare, I’ve been bamboozled
Peep the turbo box👀
love you kyle
So hype for this! Who's gonna help you with the swap?
Not sure yet. I really want to attempt it myself, but not having experience, it would be a big undertaking. The humble mechanic (Charles) has been super helpful. My wife and I will be moving soon to start building a house out in the country. I already have a shop I'm working on so I can have it ready to continue this and other project related content. I'll have some videos talking about all of that soon probably.
Saabkyle04 Nice man!
The 240sx Birthday wish is "MAKE ME STUPID FAST" lol
Hahahaha, yes!
Hey kyle it would be brilliant if you could put a new camshaft inside your new rb.
I'm going to stick with the factory cams for now and possibly do a separate head build later on. Better to put that money elsewhere for now.
For your next project can you do a Z31 300zx please not many people show love to that Z and I think a lot of people would enjoy it and it’s a pretty cool car
I have definitely thought about that, we'll see how this car goes!
Saabkyle04 great 👍🏽 thanks for taking it in consideration:)
Literally doing the same build I’m doing 🤦♂️ my dream car
Awesome Cesar! Best of luck with your build!
i love these videoss goddamn
What happened to the viper?? Do you still have it? Would love to see some more content on it if so
You forgot to mention the 4-5 lug conversion
You should upgrade the lights to be completely LED :)
Already planning on it :)
Awesome!
Are u gonna do a body kit like what THAT DUDE IN BLUE has done to his 240. also what about a steering angle kit not so much for drifting but to eliminate that crappy front suspension.
Maybe u could put some cool recaro Alcantara seats!
I've thought about that, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I've put the brakes on interior stuff for a while till I get the suspension and engine finished!
Kyle, throw a type x kit on it and paint it an oem color
I talked about that at the end of the video :)
What was the website where you got all the seals? Im currently looking for seals for mine.
Wish I had money so I could rebuild my Gen. 6 Celica :')
Can you please do a start up on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma trd offroad
Do a 2017 & 2018 chevy traverse
COOL Here's The Progress I've Made On The 240SX Restomod In The Last Year!
BRIAN BOB CHAPMAN HOT WHEELS FAN You just copy and pasted the title of the video and added “COOL” to it.
amazing my s13 gone be full of fiberglass cuss drift and oem rare parts not mix
install windows 10 on the computer
When your done with your engine how many horsepower will it have
Please don’t forget the Malibu
I'm not, don't worry haha. One thing at a time :)
If you ever think about that selling the pignose lip hit me up !
Shoot me an email (kyle@saabkyle04.com)! Idk when I'll plan on letting it go, but we can certainly stay in touch!
