I appreciate that, wish things were different too. RUclips is killing channels with their algorithm. It's no longer based on subscribers, they only show people what they think people want to see. It's a biased system to say the least.
@@saabkyle04 put out a video that you think will be popular, and say in the beginning “did you guys know I was building this 240sx, and these other cars? RUclips is not helping you viewers get the content you subscribed for.”Something along those lines. You put a lot of effort into filming and editing these videos, not to mention actually working on vehicles.
I appreciate that suggestion, I will have to try something like that and see if it helps at all. If it does, it'll only hopefully strengthen the viewership of the folks who already get to see it. Then, there's still the problem of youtube not sharing the videos. I've almost given up trying to figure that out. It's too much to bear with, like you said, everything it takes to run the channel.

This is my first time watching saabkyle again, and I gotta say that I'm happy for the progress he went through from reviewing cars to now building his dream project cars so to speak. Really cool build here. Keep it up!
Thank you for taking the time to be so very detailed and professional with the way you present your content. No shortcuts, all quality parts and straight to the point! Love the care and work you’ve been putting into this project. I purchased my ‘89 almost a month ago and your channel has been my go to. Keep the content coming, Kyle! 🙏
That car is coming together well! I agree; LEDs DO make a difference. I replaced all of my exterior lights with colored-lens matched ones from Super Bright LEDs. Not only do they look better, but they are safer, too, as it increases visibility awareness to those around you!
I wish more people were getting video notifications! I know more would enjoy the videos if youtube actually sent the videos out like they're supposed to
@@saabkyle04 I'm not sure why more people don't just check their subscriptions page. That's what I do and it seems like a simple solution. Never miss any of your videos.
I think you'd create an issue with the lock linkage not being able to connect to the cylinder, but I did not try it. If you've gone this far with getting the parts, you might as well get a lock cylinder too lol.
Kyle that center section actually looks really good in the black. What if you did the lower part of the center piece body color and leave the part between the taillights black? I think it would accent the car really well
The bottom piece is supposed to be painted to match the body. I can't remember right off if the center is supposed to be black or not, I'd have to look it up again, but I agree, it looks really good black!
I will probably start taking press cars again in December, but to be honest, it's been a nice change of pace doing something different. Far more satisfying and enjoyable than car reviews.
what model number of sylvania LED lights did you use for the reverse lights? And did you have to use resistors for both the blinkers/reverse or did the LED’s work without them
You should paint it some version of Metallic or Sunset Orange! That would still look great with a blue Interior, and yet be very unique! Just my 2Cents.. lol
@@saabkyle04 Yeah, It's a thought.. obviously stock is a nice color too.. just think orange would look amazing! HAHA Either way, love the channel man, thanks for the good times!
There is a guy on eBay that sells a reproduction "180SX" decal for the center garnish. I had him make mine say "240SX," so maybe you can get him to make you one!
are there plans to add an Type-X wing too? i kind of like it a lot without one but maybe just to finish up the whole package some day? i think it would be nice
This is going to look to kool for our town 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My grandpa has a 1972 Chevy truck if u want to do a review on in and a old chevy caprice u can do aswell
I've seen that C10 before and I just saw that Caprice this evening, I know exactly where you're at now LOL. Man, that caprice looked niceeeee! I might take you up on that when things slow down a bit!!
@@saabkyle04 that would be perfect we pulled were pulling trees down today when you went past so i didn't get to wave i was in the backyard i sent you an email so we don't have to keep talking over the comments
Those are kouki taillights, not type x. Those tail lights are standard on all kouki generation 180sx. Type x is a sub model. No hate as there is a lot of mis information out there about kouki 180sx related parts.
@@saabkyle04 You already Sunk alot of Cash In the Suspension Rebuild, Interior Restoration, Engine Swap material, The RB25 and it's Rebuild, CD00A Gearbox Conversion. AND not mention you spent a lot of time Tracking down the original JDM Type X BodyKit. You put your special Touch to the 240 and If you sell it Eventually some Idiot is gonna Take that away from you and Completely Ruining it. It's definitely not worth Selling because you might lose some Subs and support in the Process
It's always worth selling if the price is right. It's not my concern what someone else does to THEIR car that they PAID for. As you get older, you will realize that. The best time to sell is when someone is ready to buy.
I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't. I've been fighting youtube and their ridiculous algorithm for a few years now. My subscribers are not getting notified of new uploads. I've tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works. At the end of the day, I still have to do my best to keep it up, regardless of the views. It can always be better, but I'm thankful I'm still able to do this for a living thanks to the brands that support the channel like O'Reilly and Valvoline.
kyle stop gorilla-arming the car, it hurt me just watching you pull the old lights off. use a heat gun to soften the glue. for chrissake and those are not type-x lights, they are 96-98 180sx tail lights. they were factory on all trims (type x/s/r).

@@saabkyle04 what happened to the viper?
I love it when people switch to LEDs, makes the cars lighting smoother
Definitely adds a lot to the car
Also makes your battery last longer
i just love how pure these videos feel. they are quiet and relaxing with no music and mechanical sounds.
Thank you for NOT changing the color. A color change usually looks bad unless it's done with removing about everything from the body of the car....
This is my first time watching saabkyle again, and I gotta say that I'm happy for the progress he went through from reviewing cars to now building his dream project cars so to speak. Really cool build here. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks buddy!
These restomods of approachable cars are hands down my favorite kind of build series
Thanks for the support!
From reviewing cars to building them u were basically the channel ive watched since i was 4 thx for all the content :)
I love this!!! My whole channel revolves around sending pit bikes up some serious enduro trails!!

Hey Kyle! Its been inspiring to see how much you've learned and keep continuing to learn. Keep it up. I've been subscribed for 10+ years !
Awesome! Thank you!
I really love those tailights, i think all the 240/180SX's should've come with those, can't wait to see the rest of the kit installed! 😁
You and me both!
So glad they didn't
if you want to keep your original rear lock and key, pro shop noble makes a spacer that fixes the depth issue. look up "Noble Lock Spacer For s13"
I've never heard of that, but great info, thanks for sharing!
I'm kinda digging this whole build. Makes me want to go out and get a 240sx to start working on.
Thanks so much!

Very cool dude!
You should do some sort of subtle low, factory looking spoiler too! Paint matched of coarse! 😉
I'm using a genuine 180SX Type-X "Kouki" spoiler, it'll make a statement for sure!
happy halloween kyle do a review on your golf cart, and tractor
Love those taillights! Best ones by far!
Agree!
Since you have LEDs for the tails you should at least put LEDs on the Pop ups
In some states that's illegal, typically due to outdated laws that specify that the primary lighting source HAS to be a bulb.
lol
If it's a DOT approved light, it shouldn't be an issue. I will do it like I did to the Jimmy at some point, just not worth sinking the money into yet.
@@saabkyle04 I know there are some LED headlights that cost $20 per bulb. ThatDudeInBlue has them on his 2JZ 240sx

Killer vid!
The LEDs look awesome!
Thanks dude!
oh man .. this my fav. car of the fast and furious era !!!! i just have thing for wedgy cars with pop up head lights
For sure!!!
This and the 300zx were my dream cars in the 90's
Cool cars for sure
Really nice taillights. It makes the rear look a lot fresher compared to the original!
I agree! It changes the look so much, but still keeps it original Nissan, love it!
I really enjoyed this. Sometimes the things that pull a project together are the smallest details!
So true!
can not wait for it to finish !!!!
Me too!!
Looks great man!
Thanks!!
Nice job with the car keep doing what you doing
Thanks, will do!
You have a cool channel I love all your videos
who else is enjoying the 240 content lately
I wish more people were getting video notifications! I know more would enjoy the videos if youtube actually sent the videos out like they're supposed to
@@saabkyle04 that sucks alteast its nice to see the 240 finnaly getting the love it needed and is helping motivate me to get mine done

Thanks a lot!
That looks awesome!!
Thanks dude!
I wanna see it become a first class beast on the road 😎😎, and also a final super review on this beast ✌️😎
Definitely!
Cool Video 👍 LED's Lights looks good on the Nissan 240Sx
Thanks!
I love this series, just wish you would have done it with a 350Z
Great job.
Cool car.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I really like the 240sx stock one it looks nice to me but the 180sx style fits and match your r32 I give a credit on that love ur video
Right on!
Why not add washers and long bolts to keep the original key cylinder
I think you'd create an issue with the lock linkage not being able to connect to the cylinder, but I did not try it. If you've gone this far with getting the parts, you might as well get a lock cylinder too lol.
2:31 Looks like to me a DA31 precut
Like #147, that 240SX looking & sounding dope, bruh! Nice job Kyle, love your videos. Cheers from Honduras, Central America!! :D
Thank you so much!!
Coooooool choice
Good job Kyle 👍
Thanks a lot!
You ever do a video for when you installed the battery, just curious.
3:08 when you activated the blinker, why did the first flash stay lit for longer than the rest?

love it a lot!
Hey there where did you purchase the conversion harness ? Cheers
Did he use the same LEDs for all the lights in the rear?
Can I ask you the harnesses conversion link please??
How did you get the small connector harness ???
are there plans to add an Type-X wing too?
i kind of like it a lot without one but maybe just to finish up the whole package some day?

Check out my latest video! 😎
i just noticed it.
Nice timing mate :)
What wheel size are you running? I‘ve been trying to find a wheel that looks good on a stock-body S13
Where did you get that filler panel? I can't find in any place, help
Some ganadore mirrors in your future kyle?
Would be nice if you put that battery in a battery box later.
The bracket is so you don't have to have a bulky battery box.
Nice job buddy and it’s definitely going to be a nice car when you are done and how’s the other garage coming along
Thanks! Progress is slow but the rest of the concrete should be poured next week. I'm hoping the building can be put up in a few weeks!
