89" 240sx Odyvia Conversion + KA-Turbo in Hawaii! Video + Photos! (1 Viewer)

8 years ago we set a goal to win Best Nissan at Spocom in Hawaii. We built an S13 Odyvia KA-Turbo in a carport. It only took a few months with help from a few friends. We didn't have much money back then so we painted everything in a canvas tent we got from Costco. We sprayed the car in an open carport. We swapped everything out using a little craftsman mechanic toolset. It was such a great project because it brought comradery to our brotherhood as it gave us a goal to achieve together. I hope this can inspire everyone to build their own project cars.

We won Best Nissan and Super Street Awards that year. I also did photography and journalism for it and got it featured in Pasmag. Its getting harder to believe that this thing is 33 years old today. If you're interested to see how we did it, watch this video I just made-

I was about to ask if those were Honda Odyssey headlights. Then it clicked. Interesting.

Reminds me of the early 2000s when swapping heads and tails was the “thing”

Yes, they're from a Honda Odyssey! haha yeah, we actually used a jdm s13 hood and fenders. We had to cut, stetch, fab, and weld the fenders to fit. We didn't want to use fiberglass fenders because they crack too easily.
