Engine bay, most of the aluminium has the white crap on it. It flakes/goes away very easily, it's not deep corosion..

I'm assuming the timing belt was replaced at 105k?? By the looks of the 02 sensor, it's very new too..

Congrats! But was that a bungee cord that you used to pull the clip off with? If so, props to you!!!

Nice! BTW, I assume you'll be using custom mounts for your setup... if so, PLEASE! let me get the stock mounts from you.

Nahh, that's a ski rope tied to the roof rafter with a comealong pulling the front clip. I was able to pretension the car, then rotate the tires by hand (notice, too much on one side......). The back of the clip can be picked up, it's about 100 or so lbs.

Based on what I know and what I have available to me, I will not be using the stock mounts. When/if they are going to be available..........................

Do you have the badge as well as a KM marking??

I wonder if the other marks besides the KM are the tech/dealership...

OEM timing belt change intervals are at 100k KM correcT?

if you buy a nissan OEM timing belt they give you that sticker... only mine was in english and had miles instead of KM's (I got mine from a US dealership )

and not to be mean or anything, because its a nice clean looking clip but those wheels and that hood are stock 89-90 240sx parts. I highly doubt anyone pay you very much for them. Silvia hood would have been worth something, but not a stock USDM hood...

other than that, nice clip! That'll be one sweet ride when you're done

I don't know if you've ever seen this, but here's a similar idea I saw it on a yahoo japan auction awhile back!

DAM! I thought I would have been the 1st to install a ca into a suzuki vehicle. lol

The JDM and USDM hoods CAN be the same (vs the projector style hood.... Found on the 200/240sx???)?

All the S13's with pop-ups have the same hood, fenders, and bumpers.
