Make sure it has gas, usually helps to drive. Oh and check tire pressure.

Make sure you replace your exhaust bearing. I don't know where you bought your SR from, but those go bad on S14s all the time. And then it's boom! Whole engine is trash.

make sure you check the blinker fluid. those resevoirs like to crack on s14s all the time. its rediculous.
and make sure the battery is full of water too.

Make sure you get distilled water. Regular tap water will ruin your batteries.

actually only smart water will work. so visit your local grocery and pick up some smart water.

Advice? make sure you car has good clean oil at all times, don't over rev your motor or you run the risk of your motor doing bad things to itself, Nissans seems to like to overheat when unhappy so make sure cooling system is on point.... other than that, make sure you have an LSD and then drive.

that depends on many factors, mainly on your description of "street friendly"

yours might be different than his ^^

what are you doing/ plans with the car?

you need to be more descriptive... alot more...
