Welcome. No offense, but that is some horrible photography.

no offense taken, some guy took a picture of it at a meet and i didn't even know he did. no broken antenna, i took that **** off, i didn't like the way it looked.

yah i got the tear in the seat, it looks like theres a daym 2 inch lift on my ride but whatevers clever. i haven't really done anything to it yet cuz i'm tryin to fix hella little **** and the person who owned before must've been hella trashy cuz they went all cheap on it. no deck either but hey some new speakers came widdit.

my troubles widda car :

- the day after i bought the car the front left wheel came off when i was on the freeway goin like 75mph cuz the previous owner used diff sized lug nuts and they spun themselves off. i rode on the rotor and fender for a good 1/3 of a mile jus downshifting and pullin the e break.

- now the baffle has broke in the muff so it sounds like muff is ridin on the ground when i drive.

- driver seat support is gone! i'm hella thug ridin' now

- this past week i got 2 front tires on, got to my friends house afterwards to put on some brake pads and ended up the tire shop cross threaded a lug nut on each side, so we hadda bust out the cheater bar and snap the stud to get the nut off. got the pads on and the shop is gonna fix it. never doin bidness w/ this tireshop again

now i'm just tryin to fix whats broken and my main focus with upgrades is suspension and brakes right now. i can still drift with stock suspension but it'd be nice if my car didn't look like it hadda 2 inch lift.

Welcome to the NICO family, we are kinda like a cross between the Simpsons and Beavis and Butthead.

Have fun.

:jazz: Once again....welcome.

[offtheline]

I like to think the people here at NICO are a bit more mature and generally more accepting of people's opinions than some other 240 sites. Its nice.

Have fun, and please oh please do something about that fender gap.

[240marcuSX]

that is the worst case of fender gap ive ever seen.....ever.

welcome to nico.

what are your first goals performance wise?

[Altiman94]

it's probbaly just the picture and the angle of the car, but all s13's have bad fender gap

[Megaseth]

is it an SE? check for rust on the hatch if so. and odds are, you'll hear some odd ticking coming from the engine. welcome to the family.

[crypt2k]

man... Im thuggin' it too!!!

and why you ride so long on the rotor... dude. thats not to healthy.

[POS_S13]

i rode on the rotor for that long cuz if i would broke i woulda spun out, so i jus slowed down enuff to a stop and pulled over. the brake system and spindle was replaced.

iono if theres any rust but i haven't taken that goofy styrofoam wing yet, but no ticking from the engine.

performance wise, well 1st i wanna get brakes and suspension done, then motorwise i'm gonna go widda redtop. if i had a ka24de i'd hella keep that and beef it up. but since my 12valve sohc ka isn't ideal for what i want it for i'm gonna widda sr. once i get that, i wanna focus on fuel managment and engine internals. everything else is too far into the future to even worry about. jus taken it a step ata time right now.

thanks for the welcome fellaz

[nissanrcer240]

If i remeber correctly, your motor has a top chain guide. first thing, pull the cam cover and get rid of the top chain guide before it breaks and destroys something. 15 minutes can save your motor. a nissan tsb is available on it.

And welcome to the "hella" NICO, that is completely "widdit".
