[rare240sx]

i got 92 nissan 240 convertible...

well, i just saw that 89' 240sx on pimp my ride...

does anyone know where i can get those smoke taillights (blackish?)

looked phat

okay thanks!....

[nismofly]

they painted them that way...

[Kienai]

What? When was this? I wanna see it. How did it turn out?

[krash]

if ur talking about the green one then it turned out pretty ricey, it was tite, but they should have kept it all 1 color here it is:

And for you NICO newbies....

That car belongs to one of NICO's coolest members.. BrokeAs240... something or other... I can never remember the exact spelling of his name...

Anyhow... some people don't like the finished project, and for some reason think it's his fault. That's crap.

he's improved the car since the show.

And knowing is half the battle..

[JSvert240sx]

They do anything performance related with the car?

[krash]

im pretty sure west coast didnt on the show. they usually dont. but the owner may have. the interior is looking nice though, custom recaro seats and three xboxs in the trunk. i wasnt saying the car was ugly, i was just saying they should have kept it all one color.

Even though I don't like what West Coast did to the outside of the car...

I'd give my car to them in a heartbeat.... They must stick $20k worth of electronics in each one of those cars.

I do usually like the custom interiors a lot. . That Ish guy is pretty damn cool.

[nismofly]

the car is completely redone, you wouldnt even recognize it

he just cant post pics due to legality reasons with the show

[donmeca2020]

anyone got pics of the tails, id like to see.

[Black on Gold]

I thought he is allowed to show pics. Because i have pics of the changes he's made. I've gotten it off of here too.

[crappys13]

i heard you have to pay taxes on the mods they put on from the socal guys i met at sparco...i may be wrong.

[Black on Gold]

Wow. That blows. Well im not sure if im allowed to show the pics or not but i have them so im assuming its okay to.

[donmeca2020]

lets see

[Black on Gold]

Thats the only one i got.

[krash]

looks wayy better

[chitownguy]

Yea it does. But at least he's a good sport about it. I would have strangled them if they did that to my car LOL. So what do you do if you dont like the car that they give you back. Can you sell it or can you have them remove parts?

[Black on Gold]

Definately looks better. To tell you the truth all he has to do is something about that front bumper and he should be rockin' that thing.

[kungfuhamsta]

that bumper needs a meeting with my sledge hammer but w/e ...

[chitownguy]

Definately looks better. To tell you the truth all he has to do is something about that front bumper and he should be rockin' that thing.

Yea thats true. I think they did kinda upgrade his engine. I think they called it a Stage 1 performance upgrade or something. It had a Air Intake and some other stuff.. oh and also some neons lol j/k. Maybe he could tell us if someone got him in here.

[Black on Gold]

Yea, he was on here a couple months ago talking about his ride. Havent seen him since.

[chitownguy]

Well he's still on NICO but none of us know him so I dont know if were gonna get him in here. I wanna know more about his car. When I saw that 240 on Pimp My Ride I was like "OMG, a 240 they better make it look great" I was liking a lot of it except the decals and body kit. But I give him lots of props for making it look tons better. 2 thumbs up!!!

[top_secret]

they didn't do any performance stuff to the engine they just color coded everything. the seats weren't recaro they were APC seat tops bolted onto stock S13 bottoms. The guy said that the electronics didn't work right and he had to take it back a few times because a bunch of the stuff wasn't working...But he got a bunch of stuff, so... whatever.

and yes you have to pay taxes on all the modifications, just like you have to pay taxes on any other prize or gift.

and yes you have to pay taxes on all the modifications, just like you have to pay taxes on any other prize or gift.

Hey, I never thought of that... That would suck... income taxes on like $20k worth of stuff.

Is it also true that your not allowed to just turn around and sell all the stuff they put in.

That would put someone in a situation... Not enough money to pay for the taxes, and not allowed to sell stuff to come up with the money.

[Black on Gold]

Yea, all that is true about the Taxes and also selling the stuff. I mean if you would thats an insult i would think. Get all that done and then sell it after someone did all that work. My opinion on it i guess.

[top_secret]

the taxes, thats just federal law. The not being allowed to sell stuff is probably some kind of waiver he had to sign for MTV/west coat customs/pimp my ride.

[Black on Gold]

im sure. shoot i'd be happy with what they did. I mean look at what it was before. Body kit didnt match, wasnt put on right, parts werent working so i'd be just happy they fixed it.

[krash]

lol i dont think we answered the question, i think they bought some tails and smoked them black, you can get red and white tails on ebay just search for "240xs tails" and then go get some black taillight paint

[Black on Gold]

nah we didnt lol. good thread though lol.

[top_secret]

some companies sell the origin ones but they are pricey (like $430) and they aren't smoked very dark. I love the ones off this coupe I have a picture of that posted on zilvia but I don't know what tails they are. looks good though.
