1989 240sx Fastback

[.::S13Love::.]

How you doing people..JUst joined the site, i bought this S13 last year on labor day..for $800, has 190xxx miles on it, autmatic transmission..has some rust, on the engine fire wall..but very little..on the underchassis as well..but that'll be taken care of soon..I've put in some money, nothing aftermarkt yet, but just because its my daily driver for now..New sparkplugs,wiring..new exhaust system..Next step, im putting in new brakes....

For the future..Idk whether to get a SR20DET RED TOP, OR RB20DEt..Your input would be nice..so it can help me make the final decision..this is my pride & joy, & little by little i will put money, hard work & dedication into it..

vq would be a way better power to weight ratio. but eh, ive done a vk swap, and an ls1 swap to now that i think back. they are all nice. but i like the idea of the vq. my fav is the 40:)

but i wanted to post to say i love that wing you get stock. i know most rust and leak but i think it would be sweet, to fix the rust and seal it. love those little f***ers.

Guess im going with the SR..

Yea i got two rust spots under that sucker...which im gettin removedonce i get the body repaired...Indeed it looks nice, but im not feeling the foam material..

as for the brakes..Just something thats good, no big brake kit yet..butwhat brands do you guys know of that are good, & have reasonable prices??..im gettin everything rotors, brake pads etc..

[troskinatior]

I would say for the brakes get Q45 or J30 brakes because theres no point in upgrading the 240 brakes because there horrable.Whats wrong with Ka? Just turbo that you get more torque.And whats with the people in northern nj using foam on there rust? I got my car in elizabeth and the frame rail is covered in foam and my brother got his in passaic and he has the same problem.

[.::S13Love::.]

the factory spoiler is made of foam...

any site where i can obtain those brake kits?

[Razi]

The junkyard. :P

Or you could go to FRsport, they offer a brake package with Q45 brakes + rotors and pads.

[.::S13Love::.]

yea just check it out..price is reasonable..but my question is, would i have to get 5 lug wheels?

[Mellexx]

[.::S13Love::.]

theres something about pignose hatches that i adore.

about your headlights, theres a separate relay for each headlight for up and separate relay for down. check those

also if your in nj get on 240sxone.com. We need more locals! check out the spring beam meet coming up

[.::S13Love::.]

Link me to the page for the meet..

[krash]

sweet car for 800 bucks!

yea just check it out..price is reasonable..but my question is, would i have to get 5 lug wheels?

you can go to a machine shop and get them to drill out a hole for 4 lug. Although, you can convert to 5lug with s14 hubs or j30 hubs (need modification)

BTW trade doors with me
