sorry to hear about the oil leak. i have some pics of your solara from the show, if only i could find them. ill look around see if i can find them

yep up here its time to put the fun stuff away. its getting cold, the roads a getting crapier. to night was proly the last night for mine.

Not diggin' the roof spoiler. I think it throws the car off. Perhaps it's better in real life.

[NismoZRS]

Thanks! Front lip is the infamous Xenon lip.

ridiculously over priced these days

btw.. i love your S13

Most people don't even notice the roof spoiler is there. I was on the fence about it at first, but it's so subtle that I like it. I might be switching up the exterior a bit this winter anyway...

Quick update with some recent goodies...

I've decided to go full kouki 180sx type x. I'm sure it will be somewhat of a controversial decision, bandwagon, etc... but it has grown on me a ton and it is the route I have chosen to go with. I picked up a complete front end with the rare oem front lip from findjdm- it should be here in mid december:





Kouki 180SX spoiler and rear center valence:



Traded my GReddy oil pan for a Tomei Expreme turbo manifold:





Ganador mirrors:





OEM Window visors:



Sold my white face defi gauges and picked up some black ones to replace them:



And a new kitten, as you can see. More updates soon- hoping to get the car on stands and get to work soon!

[Idahos13]

Where did you get the window visors?I think your car can rock any look!I personaly think that it looks great the way it is, but I will just have to wait to see which one looks better.

[SolaraOnBronze]

Thanks! We'll see... I got the window visors from nissanparts.cc

[Idahos13]

Thanks man!

[drewce]

Clean 240! i pretty much just read through ur whole thread

[ReaperBJJ]

Eh... I personally am one of those people who am getting sick of the type-X bandwagon lately and your car was a welcome change, but it'll still look super clean with its new face.

[SolaraOnBronze]

^ Totally understandable. I liked being one of the few locally (the only I have ever seen) with the xenon lip, but I have never seen a full type x hatch up here either. I think a lot of people are on the bandwagon, but few are well executed and clean in the states- so hopefully mine will end up looking really nice!

[Ramonesfreak2010]

Diablo! I can't wait to see the aero on the car. Are you gonna rattle can it or get a fresh paint job?

Did you read "...well excuted..."? That means paint job, no rattle can silly business.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

My bad. Didn't catch that.

[SolaraOnBronze]

Yep, hoping a friend is going to paint the whole car this spring. He is a painter for BMW locally and it sounds like we can use the booth on a sunday. My friend works for Toyota and has a few paint hookups, so hopefully one of them will work out.

[Idahos13]

Are you staying with black?

[HoosierSX]

i really like the way your car looks now. type-x is boring to me.

[Nacho_240]

I did a quick photoshop of what your car would like like with all your new parts.

Not bad eh?

[SolaraOnBronze]

LOL, yeah KurruptR's car is sweet. His was my inspiration when I got mine, but I didn't like the type x aero then... I think I might be switching up my wheels this spring as well, or at least the color of them.

And I think I am sticking with black. The only other color I have been tossing around is a white/gray/tan color from a buick rendezvous:



But I will most likely stick with black...

[mRodiek]

Ew, please remove that hideous peice of terrible engineering off of this forum! May as well have posted a picture of the Pontiac Aztek..

[SolaraOnBronze]

haha, I didn't say I want or like the car... I just like the paint color.

[mRodiek]

lol Sorry but I hate those! The color doesnt look bad, kinda an off white/creme-ish?

[SolaraOnBronze]

Yeah, I hate them too. It looks pretty cool in person- kind of gray/white/cream mixed depending on the light...

[hbpignosePA]

black is far more menacing

[SolaraOnBronze]

To be honest, I will probably just stick with black. That way we don't have to paint the door jams or anything... but we'll see. Still leaning towards keeping it black at this point...

[Canadianfreerider]

I hate the spoiler. Everything else is great.

[1991ls13]

I did a quick photoshop of what your car would like like with all your new parts.

Not bad eh?

lmao, ya not bad for an actaull photo of another car, sorry, im 99.9% sure You didnt photo shop anything cause ive seen this car before, and those arent his rims, second, he never poste that kind of pic up, so yes, his car will look something like that but you didnt photoshop that(yyou can tell,even the skirts arent the same.

but anyways that car

[SolaraOnBronze]

LOL chill man, I think it was a joke...

[Nacho_240]

Geez, chillax dude.

His car will resemble it a lot though. It has the full kouki 180sx aero, kouki tails, rook wing, type x wing, time attack wheels, ganador mirrors, clean black paint and same stance.

i can't wait to see the outcome. Keep it up!
