Hey everyone, Ive been a member on this site for while now just browsing and always looking at peoples nice 240's that I wish I had but finally after 2 years of waiting, I have my own! Picked up the car today for $6.5k which I think is pretty good since this is the 2nd s14 kouki I've ever seen for sale in my area so I had to get it right away. It's a 1998 240sx SE and came with Megan street coilovers and Work Emotions Cr Kai's. The car was pretty dirty when I got it but with a little cleaning and waxing, it looks beautiful. Anyways just wanted to share and was wondering what should be some upgrades I should get for it. Im thinking about starting off doing a Z32 brake swap.

Very nice car man and good deal for 6.5k. I got mine for just under 6k and it was bone stock and automatic, and not as good of shape as yours. You got nice wheels and coils. I'm very jealous of the silver moss, its so pretty.

Yeh ima rip that off along with the Hawaiian stickers on the back but I was wondering if you guys know a good way to get it off without leaving a residue. You cant really tell but theres a few big dents, 2 of them are on the passenger fender and a bunch of scratches along the front bumper.

also zippo fluid works well to remove sticker residue, but resist the urge to light it on fire.
