I put its ok. Not big into drifting or the rice associated with it, so if I got it I'd gut the hell out of it, and I'd rather have a primer paint job than the abnoxious graphics and such on it right now.

pretty clean conversion but im guessing he's not sponsored by apexi so free advertisement lol. lots of custom stuff it looks alright. atleast it isn't neon green with indiglos and crap haha

mostly decent parts too. besides the crappy rims mostof it is pretty good stuff

Its ok. I wouldn't drive it though, I have enough 240s to drive. Looks like someone dumped to much money into it. Kind of looks a little weird.

Well executed show car. That is it. Not my style, but MAD props for all of the cool stuff done. I mean, that Nismo door skin is freaking sweet. If I wasn't doing Thomas the Tank Engine I would so rock that.

ALOT of hardwork was put into that. the body and paint is flawless and looks good too. put a nice lether oem style interior into it and drop all of the graphics and it would be one hot *** 240. props

I have to vote thumbs down, as Im not much of a show car guy. He can do what he wants but in my opion building a preformance car and then anchoring it down with unnessisary electronics doesnt make sence.

I know the car and owner builder personally, it's a very well put together car with a ton of work on it. He also has an S14 with an R33 front end on it that was done well, but last I checked it still had a mostly stock KA.

Here's a pic of it maybe a year, year and a half ago before he threw the decals on. And don't mind the long-haired kid...I was trying to save money by skimping on haircuts at the time.

if he ripped out all the stupid interior trash (carpeted gauge pod? GTR trunk mat? WTF IS THAT ****) and got some wheels that didnt blow, it would be way better.

Fully agree. Should have finished the RHD conversion.

yeah definately before the decals it looked way nicer. now find us a pic without decals on the glass either and with better wheels lol. maybe 3 inch polished lip 10.5inch wide rear wheels.

i'd admit though that conversion is pretty clean. it fits right on there even though i dont like the nismo/gtr on the carpeting.

What APEXi item did he have in his car? Don't tell me it's sponsored by them and there's nothing APEXi in the car or he slapped that on for looks. I would've gone with NISMO. Even if i wasn't sponsored.nissan love.

It looks sorta goofball, but overall I wouldn't say it's toooo ricey, just because it has the muscle to back up the BS.

Lose the fendersGT-R tails are actually super well done, keep 'em.Dash covering is hideousRHD is cool, rice, but still cool, lol.I'd lose most of that ICE, keep the screen.Nismo carpeting is knock-off, but I still like it.

I'm a sucker for S13 coupes too, so that helps.

I like the NISMO inside the door but I wonder what he did on the driver's (formerly the passenger's) side??

Nice car, but not worth $20k...

I'm pretty sure this car is not associated with drifting in any way.

It looks REALLY good for a show car. but uhh... if you're trying to sell something, don't go all artsy-fartsy with the pictures. otherwise, a well put together car. i wouldn't drive it though...

Seen this car in person a couple times (HIN and parked near him at NOPI ATL last year). I just don't like Skyline front or rear on S-chassis. That combined with GTR stuff with SR, not classy. And the fact there is a huge turbo top-mounted on that SR and its got a stock MAF.

As said before, a lot of clean work but wasted money to me.

Not bad - Props for the hard work.

I'd drive it (after I removed the vinyl and restored the interior to OEM).

being a web developer/programmer I like the screen idea. I have thought many times how I could incorporate a carPC on my 240... but that is only because I am not into drifing nor racings... but sort of making it into a cool company car.

so.. I like the screen if it does MORE then just tell you where your going or how late you are when you get there.
