Welcome.

Get rid of those 19s and don't try and be cool and spin your wheel.

Oh, and S14 seats bolt right in.

if its 4 lug, its 4x114.3

as for the power mirror thing. if you don't have power mirrors, then maybe someone just put it in to look cool. more than likely you do have power mirrors though. i had power mirrors in mine but the wiring was messed up in the mirror itself. 15 minute fix.

hope that helps some.

But as to the power mirrors.certain models have the feature where as you push the button and both rear view mirrors retract.i hope that's what you mean, as my brother had one with that feature.now if you're saying that it has that feature but no power rear view mirrors, then someone could have swapped the center consoles in your car.easy mods would be a cold air intake, new spark plugs.and replace any old wiring that may be decrypt

The "Almighty" belongs on a Silvia A. AKA Almighty. Not what you have. Do you have a hatch or a coupe?

A hatch would have a 180sx center garnish if it were JDM. A coupe would have "Silvia" between the taillights.

I'm trying to be nice, I really am.

ok dude, unlike everyone else i'm here to help.

First thing you do, is mooch of your friends whu buy any car parts and ask them for the stickers.stick them ALL on your car.it makes your car stand you and it adds grip by adding weight.

now lets add some weight where it's needed. and cheaply?go to home depot and purchase 3 2x4'sand some nails.nail two pieces vertically on top of your trunk and nail the third piece horozontally across the two pieces.instant cheap spoiler.okto add even more power. go back to home depot and go a couple asiles down and get any bright color spray paint.even neon.no waitespecially neon.get some duct tape, and set out your vynls with a stencil or a razor blade.

then spray over them remove tape and profit.don't forget to switch back to stock rims and remove the MAS it slows down your car if it doesn't work right away por gasoline directly on the engine then attempt to start it, external combustion ftw. and install a BOVor a breather, all the race cars use em it'll speed your car up in no time.as for the center console. Keep it IT's JDM tyte y0!

lol you buy a 240 and come to a Forum that does nothing but discuss the car and you correct us?

Fastback=mustanghatch=240

and the reason it spins is probably because it doesnt have LSD or positrac as you might know it

Look, We ain't got nothing against you personally. it's just that there's this cool feature called a search button on this forum.Maybe if you had used it you wouldn't have gotten the reply's you did.many of the questions you asked HAVE all been asked and answered before.But hey. It seems that you even have difficulties typing with proper english. or sounding intelligent on the whole so maybe asking you to search is a bit much.

when i walked into this thread

anyway dont take it personal sometimes its hard to navigate through new website anyway, search button at the top ALOT of stuff has been covered on these forums. anyway The power folding mirrors for the side mirrors was a thing that only the japanese 240's got. So either someone installed them in your car and they work, or they did work, or they just put the switch in and never finished the mirrors.

As for some cheap mods i think you can find some in the tech Page its one of the links under the nico bannerhttp://www.240sxTech.com/

As for the badges idk what badges went to what 240 but you can search to find thatand to everyone else there is nothing wrong with badges.

It's all in how you ask it. If you come off sounding like an idiot douchebag.... you're likely to get this response initially:

Posting while sober or posting like you've got some sense is more likely to get your questions anwered.

ive never been drunk a day in my life. however, for some reason everytime i hear someone say they're typing like an idiot because they're drunk it makes me wonder: "then why on earth don't you take your drunk a** to bed? ehh?"

ok that being said, my only piece of advice is........use the search button. why do i say this? because the only time the search bar will seem like a douche to you is when it turns up nothing useful to you. other than that, majority of the times used, it'll treat you like a king/queen (which ever you'd rather be called, lol).

so all in all, welcome to NICO, enjoy getting to meet or learn from some of the guys who's been in the 240 business for what seems like a lifetime (well mine). use the search button cause it will treat you well. and remember, it's just the intrawebz, don't let it get you all butt hurt. NAHHH MEANNN??
