they are oem nissan of japan louvered visors. they help keep the sun out a little. they are hard to find... i paid over 300 plus shipping "used

[White Comet]

You really owe it to yourself to fix the fitment on that wangan.

I absoulutly envy your car, im 16 and your car was actually the one that made me get a 240 seriously...oh and quick ? I know its random but you seem to know alot so I'll ask. My car is missing the ACC Relay in the engine bay any earthly idea what tis controls?

[splintercell]

im pretty sure its for your heat...blower

[Tsukiko]

you couldnt make it fit any better than this? the quality on the rest of the car is great... its a shame really.

it would seem to me all you have to do is do a little shaping, smooth some jagged edges. If this is the wangan im thinking it is, you got it from ebay for a very cheap price (which in and of itself isnt a bad thing, but not making sure it fits?) . it looks like you took it from the packaging and didnt do anything but slap it on. It would have taken a couple hours to get it to fit flawlessly. I would think that being a show car at least part time, that you would not have overlooked such a detail. Its all i can see on the car now.

^^ harsh much ...it a unique wing...its probably hard to have it fit as perfect as you'd like it to...his car is amazing I think a single wing corner wont hurt it

[Tsukiko]

its a show car. these things matter. im not being harsh, just putting in my $.02. I could spout my unbiased, uncaring opinion on the car as a whole, but its just my opinion, and everyone has one, big whoop.

It would only take a few hours of work to get it to fit right at this point, if the wing can be taken off at all. Window weld?

My main point is that he obviously spent a ton of money and time on this car, and it is a shame to leave something so obvious unattended. This is a show car, and if someone doesnt point this out, it could be to the owner's detriment. THE CAR WAS BUILT TO BE JUDGED. Since you all seem to be humping his leg, I figured i would step forward and be the *******. Let the ignorant flaming begin.EDIT: this is a forum. people will be honest and true to themselves (hopefully). get over it.

[Dire91]

SUch a nice car I don't get why people buy those side view mirrors though, there are so many better looking ones, even the stock ones look better.

[adrianfromthecastle]

looking good!

whered you get your louvered rear quarters at?

LOL w/e you cant win them all. i dont even show the car anymore. the first year i did, but no judge ever took off points for the wing not sitting flush. the painter and i installed it and thats just the way it sits. its called manufacturing process...you cant get everything perfect in life.window weld at least its sealed and has extra support with the bolts... it wont never fly off.thanks for bringing it too my attention though

yes i did get the spoiler on ebay, but it wasnt cheap... 300.00 is a lot too me.

yeah, i cant stand the mirrors anymore either. i took them off a few nights ago to replace with factory. i just did it for style points @ shows, but now im putting a lot of stuff back stock.

looking good!

DR. SILVIA on ebay

[TroubleBound]

damnnn nice car. and in VA too! heh all the other 240's i see around are hella **cked up. great work =) i like the ca too, more original than the sr.

[jphoustonxport]

DAMN That is sweet I need to go a change my pants.

[stylepointzz]

<<<

EXACTY! its not like we just threw it on. if it was any closer to the body it would dent it on closing. yes i know it doesnt sit flush, but its the least of my concern.

i could care less anyway... who ever buys the car can fix it to their liking.

[LeroyBrown]

phucking dope

[adrianfromthecastle]

when you get a chance, can you show off more of your louvered windows?

I think its frekkin cool... I've never even seen 180sx ones before, just Silvia ones.

[splintercell]

^ I think thats the best pic i have of them my friend.

[wowturtleswow]

i love the way your ca sits! are those CA specific mounts or ka/sr mounts?

[White Comet]

ca specific. the ka/sr mounts don't work with the ca

[Hooked on 240]

F'in hot hatch. love the color and rims.

Thought for a second you were gunna be in the SR bandwagon. Thank god.
