Hello! I wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I purchased my first Nissan this morning! A 1995 240sx SE. I am the second owner of this car, and it was a great find for me, I love it! After building hondas and DSM's, I have been pleasantly surprised with this car and feel terrible for not jumping on the train sooner.

The car's suspension is shot - so I got some coilovers on the way, other than that, it only needed a battery and coolant sensor. 144k miles on body and engine.

Yes the hood is popped :P. In the garage with flartius (his newcomer thread was posted yesterday in this forum.)

Finally at home

not bad, but definitely has a leak that needs fixed

Image
No interior issues

Image
No cracks on the dash!

Image
Busted suspension wheel hops and scrubs everywhere. Should be fixed next week when the TEIN's get here!

Mine and Flartius's cars meeting for the first time.

Very nice Unicoder. Welcome to NICO Club! Do the coil install yourself. I thought I'd have a shop do mine once and that was a big mistake and I regretted it. I should have done it myself and you can surely do it in your garage with at most borrowing a spring compressor. Get a new valve cover gasket while your at it. :bigthumb:

I've done coilover installs on my hondas. Flartius and I will be tearing that up tomorrow.

Oh I did get a valvecover gasket and made a thread about it LOL I got a surprise under there
