Finally Joined the Ranks, new DD

[biggie]

'93 w/ 101k miles. Completely stock, down to the tape deck (takes me back to the day).

Plenty of small issues to work out:- Cruise not working, think its the switch on steering wheel- Front bumper/passenger fender/headlight not exactly straight, will try to correct- Driver's side door insert coming out, need to see if it can be stapled back in- Power antenna bent, won't go down, but here motor running, so just mast I guess, need soon- 2 speakers not working, radio display off/on, speakers/cd player coming soon- hazy back window gonna try some cleaner that is recommended, if not maybe new back window-Trunk vaccum holders are worn out, try to get new ones at Nissan maybe?- paint isn't perfect, but decent

But here it is anyway.

Welcome!I don't know if it will save you any time but I had a some similar problems when I bought my vert and it took a while to figure out the fix.My cruise control wouldn't work because the $0.62 vacuum hose was cracked. It a small u of black hose towards the back of the engine.I staplered my door panels and they came right back out, I uses small sheet metal screws and small pilot holes the second time and it worked great!You trunk lid problem can be solved in the recent topic on "trunk struts"Good luck!

Yeah, its either gotta be the button on steering wheel or vaccum hose. Too cold/rainy to look today.

Who knows how I'll attach the panels. Gotta take them off to replace speakers soon, so I'll figure something out.

Saw the trunk struts, will be at pep boys as soon as I make it the closest one around (like 30mins away).

Thanks

Welcome aboard!!! Nice find. That's low mileage for a 93.

Any pictures of white S13??? Looks nice. Like the Silvia lock...

excuse my ignorance but what exactly is DD? Your red vert, incidentally, is absolutely gorgeous. I have exactly the same car in 1992 version. Mine was owned by the orignal owner until 2 weeks ago and had 70K when I came on the scene. It is my new work car, though. All origanal and in pretty nice shape. fuse boxes still had scotch tape over the fuses so they were probably never even touched thru the years.

[biggie]

Thanks.

And DD = Daily Driver.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Nice...another red vert (even though I know you aren't fond of red)

You finally got it Biggie...nice find...take good care of her.

You are now part of an elite group of car owners...

[biggie]

Yeah, I've wanted a vert since I bough my first coupe in '95'-96, just now got around to it.

[BIGT94z]

Got them down to 4,500. Wished it was lower.

Hey dude, welcome aboard. I'm just outside of Raleigh and my vert has many of the same problems. I've fixed the trunk struts and antenna. Let me know if I can help out. You can help me swap my transmission for a 5-speed ;>)

Cool. Make sure you check out http://carolinanissans.com - plenty of 240s in the area. Probably quite a few willing to lend you a hand on the 5spd swap.

very nice and congrats

Welcome aboard!!! Nice clean looking 'vert! You are going to love it.

Congrats biggie!!!

I've always hoped you'd find "THE" convertible you were looking for...

Now, let's do that door conversion to give your big a$$ some more room in the car!!!

That is kinda on the list to do. Shoulders are definately crunched in with these doors. Maybe just regular doors instead of modding these. But who knows.

ATTN:OH, buttons on quarter windows are missing. Can those still be gotten at dealer?

[94_240sx]

S13 coupe and S13 vert. That's what I want in my garage. S13 vert and S14 Kouki combo works too. Anyway, looking good. Quarter window switch can be purchased from the dealership. $30~$40...

I think I'm the only person who likes pop ups, rear spoiler, seat belt pillars on the door and rear seats... I like all stock stuff except auto trans.

I don't mind anything, but my shoulders are a little too wide for the car. At least I've got a ton more head room in the vert compared to the coupe.

Unlimited, right? JFWY
