Hey NICO,

So I've been looking around here for a while now and just decided to start an account. I got my 240sx back near the end of April last year after dealing with a couple different cars that I was tired of. When I got it, it wasn't in that great of a condition. It needed a tune up bad, had a nasty exhaust leak and needed some new rear tires for the massive 19" G35 Rays that were on it. It also had Z32 front brake calipers and BMC.
I got everything fixed and sold the rims and bought some of the stock SE wheels.

This is how it sat then.

Now I have had a little extra money so I tinted the windows and tail lights and I also got rid of some of the chrome.

This is the most recent picture now.

I plan on in a month or so upgrading all of the suspension parts, since they are all original and the car is 16 years old.

My Parts List
  • BC Racing BR Series Coilovers
    ISIS Control Arm Package
    ISIS Subframe Bushing Inserts
    Energy Suspension Master Bushing Set
    Energy Suspension Rear Diff Bushing
    Z32 Rear Brakes and E-Brakes

Just a couple of other photos.

Thanks man. I know its bad but it was the best thing I could do at the time. I'm planning on buying a new BRM exhaust after all the suspension upgrades.

That S14 is very clean, and so is the engine bay!
I like the stock lip and the fog lights, along with the mudguards!

Not a big fan of the tinted taillamps, I'd recommend some Kouki taillamps.

Overall very clean car and well kept!

Thanks Man. I thought about the Kouki taillamps but I couldn't find a set in my price range when I did that.

yeah i have heard that too lol.....i think i could fly fighter planes easier but i dont want to be on a boat for months on end and the school has AFROTC might help me get better chance since its specifically air force cause they dont specifically have a navy but when i go in as a officer with AFROTC and a degree with HOPEFULLY around a 3.0 at least or higher like 3.4 would be possible for me. i will probably have good chance to fly and wont be cleaning hahaha MAYBE lol

sounds like you have a good plan to me, stay the course! haha way back when i was trying to serve i wanted to be a marine. but through some coaxing from family haha i looked into the army and decided to try to be a warrant officer, pilot a helicopter.
from everything ive been told and what i know being a military pilot is a great career to have, once youre there and are one. especially if you plan on making a career out of the military. i was excited and into it but i was rejected due to adult-case asthma(diag. at 17)...so that was a no go for me. haha theyd take me with tattoos, lag screws in my leg and a mean perosnality but not with asthma lol :chuckle:
good luck with it though, i bet that rush from the thrust of a take off is like no other!
