well I'm on my second 240 now and I have finally decided it's time to unleash my work in progress. I've progressed a little since I took the pictures(i.e. clear turnsignals, straightened the front end, no more eibach stickers...) but let me know what you think.

nope, I just had not put it in when I took the picture. I really don't even listen to it though. I much prefer the rumble coming out of the muffler & the growl of the intake.

240sx_s13: I've been thinking about those wheels and it actually was nfsug2 that gave me the idea.

nismofly: really I want to spend just enough to get some nice 17" tires that will clear a set of coilovers. I'd like some 8" wide but I don't think I can find a set with the right offset. I'll probably get some 5zigens. Or any good deal on used wheels. Anyone wanna trade for my sen-dels and some cash?

i dunno if u wanna keep the car JDM or not but this front end is nice in my opinion. If u want to find it go to ebay and search s13 conversion even though its not really a conversion but they consider it as 1 caz ur adding the R33 front end.

thats what a lot of people will tell you, if you can spend $760 on a set of wheels then you can get 17x8 5 zigens with a good offset. so youre good already.

I do like that front. I haven't really decided what I'm going to do to the front yet but I'm pretty sure I want to put the 180 type-x rear bumper and sideskirts, possibly the type-x wing too. I'm not really sure though. I want to get her running fast before she's looking good. I just bought the silvia front because I had the cash and it was a REALLY good deal(around $500).

oh, and Nismofly what's considered a good offset? it's something like +40 or bigger or smaller... I read it somewhere but I can't seem to remember.
