Congrats man. Welcome to NICO Club!

After watching the video I must say, your 'clean' and my 'clean' are very different. I'm glad you're excited. Enjoy the toy!

Haha thanks man, it is hard to find one this "clean" it is one of the best ones I've seen on CL in awhile for under $1000. I'll get it to where she needs to be.

Just a word of advice from someone who has a youtube channel and has done alot of research on how to do it correctly, i would remove that intro because most people decide if they want to watch a video for the first 10 seconds and if you have an 11 second intro alot of your viewers are going to leave

Making some progress, Not sure if this starter is the right one since this car was originally an Auto. but was swapped before I got it. I'm gonna search to see if the starters are the same or different. I hope you enjoy the video. Peace out bros and broetts

Good choice for weight savings! You can clutch kit-start it whenever you want now. ;)

FYI - manual and automatic starters are the same.

Yeah I typically skip every intro, whether it be a common one (like someone's channel that has some theme song, some random pictures, etc), or anything else leading up to the actual meat of the video.

Hey bro's and broett's I've made a video of how to convert your s13 auto seatbelt over to manual ones using the Nissan Sentra (b14) seatbelts. Enjoy :)

I actually got very lucky!!! that little spot on the hatch was the only rust on the hatch itself, and the trunk space where the spare tire goes was 90% surface rust and the other 10% the rust had barely started to eat into the metal, so I was able to clean it all up and get a good coat of paint on it

Hey bro's and broett's, I had bought a car that was swapped from AT to MT before I got the car. But the reverse light were never hooked up. It took me about a day to figure it out but I got them working!!! Here's the video of what wires you need for them and to also show some of the progress i'm making on Regina aka THE EVIL QUEEN!!!
