Hey Guys and Gals of nico 240!! I finally got a 240 of my own. Started out with an altima, then a 3kgt SL and finally landed myself a sweet s13. Been scourging these forums for a while now and didnt really register. So i figure the first that i should do after im all settled with the car is join the forum. and here's a bit of the car. i have to show it =) soo sexyyyy! im learning stick on it too =]







any advice for a new stick driver? hehe. it has about 98k miles on it. im wondering what i should do in terms of maintenance and keeping it running forever.

sexy isnt the word i would use...

more like god awful.

get rid of those bumpers/ side skirts/ wing.. put stock aero on and then it would look just fine.

sexy?

i suggest you work on that horrid body of the car. remove sideskirts, hood, front bumper, that ridiculous wing, and if the rear bumper isnt stock remove that too.

just my opinion but if i were you i woulda waited till i found a a 240 that wasnt molested by micheal jackson.

(too early.... ) please dont flame me.

EDIT: 240 posts....

Or D, all of the above (except your ugly f*** of a 240) Ditch everything and go with a silvia front clip or get a 89-90 pignose bumper. Cuz in its current state.. BARF..

I think I'm gonna puke Honestly do yourself a favor and get rid of that bodykit, you're going to attract the wrong people to your car.As for driving stick just drive a lot, if you stall out in the middle of an intersection who cares just drive drive drive. Also get use to starting on an incline and try not rolling back

Welcome to Nico!

I recommend you remove the rice outfit and start fresh on her. Get rid of it. Not trying to be a jerk. She can be saved!

okay.. i take back the sexyyy. LOL. i guess i cant say i wasnt expecting the disgusted remarks. but i do like it. its like Fast and Furious style haha. it is a "bit" ricedd. haha. well ima keep it like that for now. hopefully i wont attract too many of the wrong type of people. at least its not like glowing in blue with decals all over the body. but like looking beyond hte body kit, i think the frame and such is fairly solid. not much noticeable rust for a 90. for now i just wana do maintenance on it and smooth out all the kinks.

thanks for the driving tips. i guess keep on dirving is the best advice. rolling backwards is a BIG issue for me still haha. OO and i spun out today. in the rain and also cuz of BALD tires. Quite a scary experience.

Well that is an interesting look. not my thing, but if you like it, rock it with pride. Just get it running like new and keep one more 240 out of the junkyard. Might not be a bad idea to get a crazy amount of power in it tho, nobody can mock that which they cannot catch

We are into the 'No rice' look.

Btw, I think a squid attacked your car and died on there.Try scraping it off with a shovel or something.

Lighting it on fire works better though.

Most of us are into the Japanese Domestic Market yet classy look, but ALL of us dislike the Vader II body kit that your s13 seems to be sporting.

Welcome to the club. Don't feel bad, the body looks straight. Take off all the nonsense, get a nice paint job, and you will have yourself a nice clean 240.

"no rice" look haha. im curious, did any of you guys/gals watch F&F. I thought that movie was pretty cool. Like when the first one came out back in 01? i was like 15 back then. i guess when i look back on it its not that cool, but i seriously wouldnt mind driving a car in those movies. ALTHOUGH, its not the look that I imitate.
