[redtop91]

Drop it like it's hawwwwwwwwwwwwwt!

[Loki]

Looks great Mike. Wish mine looked anywhere near as nice as that...What's that badge where you LE sticker would go? Silvia S?

And get out of here Ryon! You don't even like verts, you post whore :p

[ishkabibble]

Thanks Loki. The badge is S14 Silvia Q's. It's NZDM, yo.

Redtop can visit this thread. Casey, on the other hand...

Thanks. They're not worth it at regular price ($800) - get an AGX combo or something unless you can find a deal on them. I only got them because I found them for $500 shipped.

[ishkabibble]

Finally, decent pics of the car after Nismo S-Tune suspension install and door pillar removal.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Real clean Ish...get a boot and it'll look even better. I need to get one myself...

BTW you should take some more pics of your vert...these ones came out really nice. Hook us up with some wallpaper material.

[ishkabibble]

Thanks man. I'm not interested in a boot right now, I need the trunk space until I find a nice NX2000 for our second car. After that, I'll think about it.

I took a bunch of pics in the Blue Ridge Mountains yesterday (weather was perfect! had to take the vert out), but they didn't come out. The sun on the wrong side of Skyline Drive.

Pwnt. Well, there's always next time.

[Eikon]

Those are great pictures ish!

Nice work!

[DeXteR]

wow... it's not very often i get to see water outside in it's liquid state

looks good, ish what kind of antena is that you're sporting? i've been shopping for a new.

[ishkabibble]

I know, you better get that vert finished before you need to bust out the studded tires!

Antenna is the Shark Attack II; bought it from Lo Custom's online store. Reception is crappy with the stock head unit, fine with a Pioneer.

[DeXteR]

noted.

so, what's next on your list of things to buy?

How about dash or overlay?

Nice Pictures .. great looking car.Vinyl smoked side markers???? Purchased (from where) or "created"??

VHT Nite Shades

[ishkabibble]

Nope, I smoked them with small pieces of window tint and a hair dryer. They are just stock markers from a junkyard.

Next up: 94_240sx-recommended all-black interior (including dash if I can find a cheap one), Q45 front brake install, blacked-out spoiler and 3rd brake light, a whole bunch of boring steering and drivetrain maintenance stuff.

All while I try to locate a white NX2000 grocery getter/track whore.

[jautoS13]

I've been promising pics of the car for a long time, but I've been dealing with crap like this until recently:I'll share a pic of the interior even though it's only half done. This used to be a pretty crappy tan leather interior. Yes, I know the stripe on the dash is rice. It was a lame attempt at covering several large cracks until I find a good dash or get a Coverlay cover:

Those seats come stock in a vert???????

[indians3452]

Loving the color scheme interior and exterior. Nice drop. The antenna suits it well. IT alone adds 10hp

[ishkabibble]

Those seats come stock in a vert???????

No, the verts come with either "meh" SE leather seats or poorly-designed tweed seats. I got the seats in that pic from someone who wrecked his pignose.

[ishkabibble]

Finally 95% done with the interior.

Here's what it looked like when I got the car:



Did the seat belt mod:



Pignose seats and door panels, recovered the back seat and 1/4 panels in black marine vinyl:



Carpet out of a pignose, replaced dash, wired dash for hidden GPS antenna, installed new Pioneer tape deck, 6.5" 3-way speakers all around, Italvolanti Imola RS steering wheel, NRG Gen 2.5 quick release and short hub, recovered glove box, polished scratches out of instrument cluster plastic, replaced power window switch surrounds:





Next up : fixing the A/C.

[DirftKing102]

i would of kept the leather seats. I love leather seats and thats what im getting in my 240sx

[ishkabibble]

They were cracked, ugly, uncomfortable, and weighed about twice as much as my pignose seats. I threw them in the dumpster with a big grin on my face.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Much improved!

[94_240sx]

+1

I love it!! It's getting much much better. You and I have to get 5 speed conversion done sooner or later.

[Malac0da13]

hrmmm...looks good...but why a tape deck?

[ishkabibble]

Thanks.

About the tape deck:-I live in a "transitional" neighborhood and don't want any of the local druggies or hoodlums getting any ideas. -I only listen to MP3s (through a tape adapter), not CDs.-I'm frugal. The brand new deck was only $20 on Ebay.

5 speed swap eventually. Already have the B&M v.2 short shifter waiting, just need to yank the 5sp parts out of a junkyard and decide if I'm going to do it myself or have Powerzamcam do it.
