Nice coupe it looks really clean, welcome to Nico. The manual will be much funner and lower/wheels would look nice but you mentioned those too.

Please do NOT put a pignose on it, i can't stand/believe how some people(^) actually think it looks better, at first i thought they were just kidding, but i think they are serious. There is a reason Nissan stopped making them in 1990, because they look retarded. I own a chuki hatch and a two-tone pignose coupe, and as you can tell from its absence in my sig it gets no love because she is just my nasty little pig b****, my daily driver. She would be chuki in a heartbeat if i had money to make her that way. Chuki front ftmfw coupe or hatch. As far as front bumpers go i'd say Chuki>Silvia>Kouki>Pignose. /pignoserant

I'd stay KA if your motor is in good shape, whats the mileage on it?

yeah the silvia front, i just call it s13 since the 180sx is the one with the flip up lights in japan while the s13 is the one with the rectangular headlights right?

usdm. united stated domestic market. 89-94 is s13. in japan the silvia has the rectangular headlights were only the coupes. sil80 would be a silvia front with 180sx rear and sil40 would be silvia front with 240 rear. someone please correct me if i am wrong.

5 speed swaps are pretty cheap at your local junk yard. there are plenty of write ups on here that will show you how to do it. http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=183606

Nice coupe you got...looks like if you paint the trunk, paint that spot on the hood a little better and get your self some nice wheels you would be set for a long time. How has the maintenance been on the coupe out of curiosity? and 5 speed swap is a must once funds are there.

i havent had to do anything serious to it except a wire in the headlights was grounding out but that was it. there is one problem that is has happened here recently, where the button on the ignition is wont go in and not let the key out thats why i have the cover off. ive been getting it serviced every 3000miles and it runs really good for the miles it has.
