I am new here and I am a first time 240 owner. I have a 1990 240sx coupe, got a fully built SR20DET with a GT35R turbo. Still have the 4 lug set up, not a drifter just a 1/4 mile type of guy. Looking for any advise. Also looking for some S14 seats.

Welcome to Nico. We want some pictures of your ride! And your engine! But as far as advice I would make sure everything on the car is in good working order, basic tune-up stuff/preventive maintenance before i started upgrades. Good luck with the car.

Well I still need pictures, the car is in the shop still getting final touches down. I got the car for 1000 running passed insp and everything, it was a automatic then. I went to Iraq put it in the shop before I left. The engine is in now, the body kit and paint job done. Rims are there but no tires yet. It is now a standard with a twin turbo transmission. It is schedule to get tuned on the 11th of this month. I will put pictures of it up soon, some of the first day and some of it now. All my friends drive them now and keep telling me to get one. So I did!

Nice man looking a lot better so far, are you going chuki front with it? I like the kits

What wheels and coils do you plan on using? Sounds like your set on the power department for the time being i'd focus on suspension then brakes.

Yea the s14 is my friend who is doing the work on mine. It now has new rims and a 2JZ motor, you can see it on youtube and type in Deepstage's 240. I am really not good with the names of fronts and stuff but I am keeping the flip lights. I will get the names of the rims and coils today when I go and get more pics. The brakes I will upgrade to the 300 ones when I upgrade to the 5 lug.

Pretty clean and built man. Nice job and I like the front end too!

Where'd you get your rad hoses btw? I'm in the market and am looking for a good company to go with.

First off you are welcome! I am putting up around 400 to the wheels, I am getting my cams done again when I deploy and my LSD. So I am hoping to put up more around 450 whp. Still have not got the balls yet to take it to the track LOL.
