Yea My Car Has 3 Different Shades Of White.

Left Fenders Is Where Some Lady Hit Me, Body Guy Didn't Fade It Into The Door, Just Stopped At It...

It's Not HDR Tho, Just Contrast And Desaturation.

Did my 5-lug swap and SE wheels way back in April but held off checking in for fear of the 4x4 jokes. But now...



Sittin on fresh Tein Flex coilovers!

Now I just need to decide on a proper tire size for these bad boys:

[motoman399]

where did your side skirts go???? also for tires go a 245/45-16 (assuming that they are 16's)

[spooled240]

he probably had a 4 lug kouki which doesn't come with sideskirts...like mine lol

[Dittoz7]

Yea, Base Model.

[5.0_s14]

love the rear wheels so much!! what are they? u paint em?

[motoman399]

he probably had a 4 lug kouki which doesn't come with sideskirts...like mine lol

holy crap. i thought all the kouki's came stock with them. learn something new every day! CRAZY

[SleepyHB]

Base model are better anyway, they're lighter =]

[Dittoz7]

They're So Light They Only Bring 4 Lugs.

[SleepyHB]

That's right! And no side skirt!

[motoman399]

lol i bet there isnt even a 100lb difference between the very most base and the very most se/le.

i could be wrong but......

[Dittoz7]

Become Anorexic, Less Weight!

[SexOnWax]

Yeah we base model owners relish the little things like 5-lug, sideskirts, VLSDs, etc that SE owners take for granted. I actually have some skirts waiting for paint and a driver side end cap.

Dittoz7 - Did your car originally come with the pin stripe down the side? Love the new sig!

[motoman399]

you forgot ABS brakes. wish more 240's cam with them. mine didnt i dont care about that other crap. lsd is garbage. thats why i have a welder

[Dittoz7]

It's Was There When I Bought It.

Mine's A SE, But I Haz No LSD Or (I Think) ABS.

so true! I remember being stoked after I got my sideskirts painted and my 5 lug on lol

my kouki is a super base model, bottom of the barrel with manual mirrors and NO tilt I don't mind it at all tho

[Dazzla]

yeah, I have a canadian base SE...so I have goodies like VLSD, ABS, but its 4-lug, with that black gauge cluster and so side skirts I don't care much for the SE lip, I just wish I had 5-lug instead of buying a conversion for another 500+

power mirrors ftw

[motoman399]

you dont have power mirrors!!! holy crap i didnt know they made s14's without power mirrors and tilt wheel. i just threw out a tilt column i would have givin it to you.... only if i would have known

That makes two of us! Base model brothers unite! Although for some odd reason, I was blessed with the white face gauge cluster. I still love it regardless and wouldn't trade it for anything... unless I can find a legalized S15 that is

[soupmotorsport]

you forgot ABS brakes. wish more 240's cam with them. mine didnt i dont care about that other crap. lsd is garbage. thats why i have a welder

mine is the weridest of the bunch, its a base 95 with ABS and sunroof no lsd. didnt know how that play out

[Dazzla]

tilt wheel? i didn't know I had that...how do I use it? lol is there a latch I can pull to move it around lol

well done! what suspension/tire sizes/spacers if any, are you running?

[spooled240]

haha yeah, i don't care tho since i NEVER adjust my mirrors. and FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU on throwing that tilt steering column out lol

I did some research on the Nissan OEM parts catalog for our steering columns and it looks like the tilt and the non-tilt steering columns are basically the same except one has a special tilt handle with a special tilt bolt...i'm not 100% sure but i bet you could convert and non-tilt wheel to a tilt wheel with these parts.

aww sorry dude. i didnt even think to put it up for sale. i figured all s14's came with them. if i remember right there is a bolt on it and all the lever would do is tighten/loosen that bolt. so i wouldnt be surprised if yours would tilt. if you want i can take some pics of mine next time i dig into it.. (will be soon to install an alarm)

oh and spooled you should sell me your intercooler setup minus bov

[spooled240]

well i can actually adjust my steering wheel height with that same bolt but i need two wrenches i adjusted it to a comfortable height so i'm good ppl just complain when they get in my car lol

dude honestly my intercooler pipes suck lol I did them way back when they had no pipes made for the ka or my turbo kit. I bought a sr set and it didn't fit for s*** then i got a universal pipe set. It's not too bad but i do need to weld some locations to cut down on the couplers. The pipes worked fine but they look messy on the parts that go under the bumper, you can't see them so that's a good thing lol.

[motoman399]

lol ok well then im sure ill just make my own piping. i had some gay kit from xs engineering or something like that. it was an expensive kit but looked like a side mount form the top but had a front mount. just had like 6 ft too long of piping lol.

just thought about it and ill have a steering column out of my 98 soon cause im going to do the rhd. so i could sell that for a real good price.... i will have a bunch of other baller SE stuff too. like cruise control and maybe even power mirrors...

[bigs]

well done! what suspension/tire sizes/spacers if any, are you running?

KYB shocks, TEIN springs. I don't have spacers on it, and it has N/A 300zx wheels on it. Maybe the picture doesn't look like it, but there is a huge gap between the fender and the wheel. Haha.

[Klodust]

hey i know exactly where that is in NY.

My stepdad's mom lives over by that white castle...
