I dug up this old picture.

Yup! It's low, and I love it that way. Road is pretty good around where I live, so I decided to go low.

Weather was great to take it out for a spin and take some pics.

I need to roll rear fenders.

It looks like Panda. Depressed Panda.

Side shots. IMO, 240 verts are best looking from the side.

Getting some sun.

I wasn't a big fan of stock spoiler, but after I added Silvia rear valences, they look REARLLY good together.

It was warm enough to drop the top.

This turned out to be my favorite picture.

Nothing can beat nice weather and droptop combination. Life is good...

Interior picture. Everything's in like new condition. Can't wait to get rid of auto tranny.

s14 seats and I have original vert floormats in mint condition. They still have tags attached.

Door trim

It's an original engine and I never pulled it out. It's been running strong. Had an air filter inside of engine bay, but moved it out recently. Never seen a pic of black Injen CAI w/extension on other cars. Everyone has polished one.

Came back home and with my wife's 3kgt. We always say it looks like hungry catfish. I'm planning on getting S-Techs for her this Spring. It needs a drop badly.

This is one of my favorite angles to look at.

I'm very proud of this picture.

Some random pics that show process and future plans.

I hope you guys like it.

I can't believe you've been holding out on us that long.. What a spectacular car! I'd have posted a ton of pictures long ago.

Truly beautiful. I never saw a set of white wheels that i really thought looked nice... until today! They look fantastic on the car.. great fit too! The ride height is perfect as well..

How did you get such clean door panels? I've never seen them in that kind of shape. Look brand new!

Hope your not copywriting those pics.. .I'm going to save them to our gallery and get them 240sxconvertible.com soon.

Thanks for sharing!

It's so clean...so beautiful!!!!

Ahem ok let me get myself together...

94 your vert looks awesome...i've been waiting a long time to see how it looks and man you haven't let me down. Good job!

BTW I love the depressed panda shot.

i see why your proud of the undercarriage pic. that's amazing clean! and everything looks to be in perfect condition. you vert owners know how to keep it clean.

I had main crank seal leak, valve cover leak, p/s hose leak x 2, leaky water pump, so it was just a mess down there. I spent days and days to clean it up, and I think I used several buckets of degreaser. Once it was cleaned, it was easy to maintain that way.

I've seen just the small black lip that came on most SE's. But never the white and the black.

It's a painted SE lip plus add on rubber Nismo lip spoiler. I added it for a protection. Nismo lip is kinda popular among 350z guys to protect front bumper, and japanparts.com had it on sale for $15 or somthing like that long time back.

wow holy crap that thing is soo damm clean how the hell do you keep it that clean... what wheels are those? are they really nismo wheels?

I love this car, so I care about it a lot. Wheels are LM-GT4 knock offs. Got them when I went to Japan for a vacation a couple of years ago. Was looking for white M2 DT-05Rs, but ended up buying these. Brand new $80 each. Original price was $120 each, but store owner wanted to get rid of them quick. He said white ones never sell. It's 17lb each and he didn't want to tell me much about it, so don't know the details. But he said quality was good and didn't get any complaints from buyers. It wasn't fun taking JR back to the hotel with 4 huge boxes, but had no problem bring them back to the States. Yes, I do know it's ricey, but they are alright and can't beat the price and looks.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Kazama tie rod ends, Nismo power brace, trunk strut bar and sub frame collars are on the way. Next is Progress sway bars, SLP tension rods, SPL big brake upgrade and 5 speed swap.

I have no idea. My cousin who briefly lived there at the time took me to this area where some wheel stores were next each other. I remember I took a green JR from Shinjuku and switched to red. I took a set on display. That was all they had. URAS NS-01 is the closest wheels you can find, but you must go for 5 lug and white wheels are not available.

I would suggest M2 DT-05R. They are fairly cheap, sizes are really good and 4 lugs are also available. Hyper Silver and gun metal look killer. Gun metal has the most sizes.

We have the same light setup (red+clear back, all clear front). I dig it.

Email sent!! You are one of those who must see it. Hope you like it!!

thats a clean vert you got there, i like them rims what are the measurements!

Ish, zenkii, donmeca, Brian, goingtoless... Thanks for the compliments.
They are 17x8 +38 with 235/40 tires, but I installed 15mm Ichiba spacers all the way around, so offset is +23. It looks like that's the best I can do with the setup. If I go for 245 tires or 20mm spacers, I need to pull rear fenders which I don't want to do.

BTW, I took your advice about those "silver" amber bulbs made for clear turn signals. Look and work great!

I was going to post pics after the brake upgrade, but it seemed like taking forever to get there. Anyway, I must say pressure is gone now.

Yeah, during daytime, lights look cooler with silver bulbs in them. Actually, front clears are D-Speed half amber/half regular lights unlike eBay clears. Side markers are Uras 180sx ones. Tail, front and side lights have all same pattern when you look at them, so they looks like a set.

I dont mind the Nismo stickers either, your car can pull 'em off. Again, awesome car.. keep up the good work.

I still can't get over how clean the underside is...

He should offer that as a service. He could call it "detailing where the sun don't shine".

I'm a huge fan of original factory parts. All pieces are OEM ABS plastic aero parts. Side skirts and rear valences are from JDM Silvia aero version and front lip is 240sx SE lip that you can find on some 240s with chuki bumpers. But you won't see it on verts. I think Nissan didn't put it on cuz vert is slightly lower than others.

You can buy a lip here.

You can get silvia aeros from here, but check eBay often.

I'm telling you. I was blown away when I installed them. They fit like gloves. No gaps and they line up perfect. I give a lot of credit to Nissan designers whoever come up with those aero pieces. They add a subtle accent to s13 body.

I've never replaced it since I got it. It's not clean and I don't like it. I'll replace it soon. I'm trying to do it myself, so I bought a convertible shop manual. Looks tough though. This shop is on eBay, and it's a popular place among 240 vert guys I believe.

Thanks, man. Whenever I work on my car, I think about what you said. "Do it right & clean and do it like stock..." You said something like that in your project thread. I don't even start if I can't do a clean job. I also think about what nissanconvert said once... "Your car shows what kind of peron you are..." I don't remember exactly, but it goes something like that. Well said and I was impressed...

I guess that makes me old, dirty, salty, low, farty, cheap, and I have big mouth? Geez...
