The eBay copies fit like a**, and are really weak. That's what I have on my car. Go with OEM if you don't want a headache.

[zeause]

^ebay, agreed they do fit a bit like crap. not too bad. ive hit a ton of s*** driveways in bf arkansas and havent cracked it or anything yet just broke zip ties ha

[Dire91]

My update.

What was that an upgrade from? Do you live in the same town as Bam Margera? I live in the same named town in NY.

From an SR20 with a T28 to an RB25DET with a GT35R. And yeah I live in the same town as bam....he's a douche, and deserves to get the s*** kicked out of him. Ryan Dunn on the other hand is dope and can drive his a** off. Coolest dude ever.

what hood is that last one.

[SpeedmanRC]

Well the car is now in storage...dumb snow is going to be falling here in no time.

[spooled240]

^looks brand new

nice and low What size tires do you have on those 18x9's up front?

[SKproductionZ]

new shoes , not much of a upgrade but sure beats stock

[jinxtacy]

not into my recent offer? it would be like we traded lol. but you get the tanabe pillow ball mounts (top hats) for the rear and 4 camber adjusting bolts.... fix that camber issue.

Sorry moto. I've been elsewhere shopping and bought some RUCAs along with a pair of pillowball mounts. I'm just a set of KYBs away (trying to decide between AGX and GR2s).

Plus I really wanted to buy new suspension so I could take my time swaping them out one corner at a time. I don't have enough jack stands to leave the 240 and the rx7 in the air, nor do I think my neighbors would appreciate it.

damn lol well send me an email with a price if your wanting to sell them... [email protected]

oh and i would go with the GR2's because i think the better ones would be too stiff (since you took the coilovers off because of stiffness). just my input.

[Turbo24sxt]

^looks brand new

225 45 on the front ... stretched a little but fit good ... to make her low

[Dazzla]

Looks good SK. Now buy some coilovers for that 4x4

[SKproductionZ]

lol thanks,turns out the tires are blizzaks i feel prepared for winter now haha

yah coilovers is def a mustim already looking around, i cant stand the height in the front

[brizanden]

what hood is on the red one?

[spooled240]

what hood is on the red one?

looks like a black one

[WI_S14_Goldie]

DAMN!! This one's sexy as hell...I've got the same wheels...how wide are u running them up front?? I'm looking into purchasing the front pair but want em as wide as possible cause the 5zigens F1's look ugly when they have no width...who's car is this btw??

[Gjohnson]

Oh, my....... I need more pics of this beast. One of the cleanest kouki's I've ever seen.

[Dire91]

I've always wondered, what's the exact color or paint code of this? ^^

[scz18]

Just checking in with my Kouki. My name is Simon, 20 years old, 1997 240sx.



Got her in May 2009. No real mods yet. Been wanting one for a solid two years. Saved up for a good year. Had to replace the gas tank and clutch when I first got her (among other small things). Love the car to death.

[WI_S14_Goldie]

congrats buddy...i remember when i got my first 240...(Sighs) Sleepless nights...LoL

[scz18]

Thanks. Yes many sleepless night before i got it. I wanted it sooo bad. First love of my life haha. Now it needs turbo....

[motoman399]

Had to replace the gas tank

what happened to the gas tank? they're plastic.

[scz18]

Well, I'm from Canada, i bought the vehicle off of zilvia from california and had it shipped to minneapolis. Drove down there and when i got there the tank was pretty well empty. Filled it up, went to the mall, and came back to a bunch of gas underneath the car. Drove it home like that. Gas was leaking out one of the seams. Stopped leaking around 1/4 tank. Lucky thing there was a parts car in the city otherwise it would have been an expensive fix (not that many S14's in my city at all lol).

[motoman399]

oh thats crazy. i was just curious cause i replaced my tank also. except i had to do mine because of user error lol. i drilled a hole into it on accident when pre drilling a hole to mount my ground for my amplifier.

p.s. NEVER DRILL RIGHT NEXT TO THE REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLE!!!!!

oh and luckly for me i had a parts car also. a new tank was around 500 from the dealer. there is no s14 parts cars around here anymore. hardly any being drivin around. and i have 2. well actually 2 and a half haha
