Carlos Nunez has been a long time supporter of 7Twenty, and we've watched his 240sx build grow ever more extensively over the years, and this final form is like a car from a video game with all the mods maxed out.
This super serious build perfectly displays a staggered diameter wheel setup, with Hyper Black Style 55's in 17x9.5 up front, with a 18x10.5 tucking tyre on the rear. Although the 7Twenty range is mostly focused on 18" wheels for competition drift applications, we do make a 17" version of the Style 55s—as these are a popular street option. This also means our customers can mix diameter sizes while keeping a matching design, something which is popular with S-bodies.
For power, Carlos wanted a V8 (relax, it's Texas), but he kept it close to home with a Infiniti VH45, fitted with a custom turbo setup and 1000cc injectors. This all sits in a tubed front end, wrapped in Origin panels, with the radiator relocated to the boot.
