Car: White 1991 Nissan 240SX HICAS

Post

Hello everyone, very excited to finally become part of the Nissan/240SX team. My girlfriend has been in love with the 240's since before she could drive and she finally picked up a respectable one a few days ago! After a long day of cleaning, painting and routine maintenance, her S13 is looking goooooooood! It's a '91 HICAS 5-speed manual in white and came with A-tech mono-block wheels that match. She's got 213k miles on her and everything is stock minus fully adjustable coil-overs (can't remember brand off the top of my head), adjustable RUCA's, drilled and slotted rotors, and air intake. She drives like a dream! She definitely still needs some more undercarriage cleaning but we're making considerable progress on my 2 week vacation. The only cons I can think of at this moment are we have a slight oil leak coming from somewhere underneath the drivers side just past the suspension, will need new rotors soon (mostly for cosmetic preferences as the old ones are rusty), an AC fix, and paint blemishes. She's never been in an accident as has only had 2 previous owners.

She will be using this as her daily driver and of course her ride to the car shows we attend all summer, but here's a list of what we're cooking up for now

Mods in the mail: XXR 526 Silver with chrome lip (4.25inch lip) 10.5x18 +20 all around with 235/40's stretched on them
Black Spiked Lugnuts
Nankang NS-20 235/40/R18 tires (I know they're not top notch tires but I've been running them on my car for awhile and they stretch very well and provide great grip in wet and dry)

Mods in the works: Exhaust w/ boso style pipes(some Magnaflow looking exhaust looking one with way too much highway drone is on it now)
Tint (5% in the back, 25% all around, 6 inch 5% "eyebrow" in the front)
Drilled & Slotted rotors and pads
Sub&Amp
Samurai sword shifter

Future Mods(When the real money comes in): RB26DET & supporting mods; transmission, etc.
Wrap (some type of orange)
Seats, other interior updates/upgrades
S14 front end conversion (She isn't sold on the pop ups yet, but I will convince her!)

We're looking forward to getting to know everyone and hopefully attending some local meets. We both live, breathe, eat, and sleep cars. We've already had a blast learning the ins and outs of this car and doing basic stuff, can't wait to roll with the big boys someday.
