New S14 owner, saying hi

[Sick_Nasty]

Hey everyone, I have had an account on here for awhile just making me want another 240 so bad, I previously had a 1995 Nissan 240SX with a S15 front end, rims, struts/springs, basic "noob" mods. I got an exceptional deal on this one however, no joke $600. That is not a typo, six-hundred-dollars. I was driving out some old country roads in good ole Goldsboro, NC, when I saw this jewel under a tree with the hood popped. I stopped in, talked to the man who owned it, he got it in a trade for a tractor, his son changed his mind and didn't want it, so it just sat there. It's timing was off by 2 teeth because the top tensioner failed, I replaced it, reset the timing, fixed some wiring that was bad under the dash, and ladies and gentlemen we have a perfectly running 1997 240SX SE. After owning the car for just over a month the suspension started feeling really rough, figured it had sat for awhile and the valving was bad or something, anywho, I got new shocks/struts, Megan Racing springs (I am a broke 20 y/o college student on their own with no family here, best I could do and actually gave the car a very good ride). I have some big plans for the car, given money and time, the suspension feels great now, the brakes are going to be upgraded to 300zx rears and 350z fronts, once that is done i will be going to Mazworks, and getting some equipment for a swap, VH45DE, and if I can find enough space under the hood I will route twin t3/t61 (full-race spec). The turbo will happen well after school is done, that is the plan, not a reality right now. Mainly the V8 then after that getting the interior back to original or better condition. I am done with this essay now, I can't wait to start doing some more serious modifications to her, have fun out there, see you on the road! Josh

[JSDEVILDOG29]

Give me your tail lights

[sebazztard]

wow

[Dazzla]

wow...for $600 that is a steal. I would probably have paid like $5-6k CAD for a kouki s14 like that before I bought my zenki

[TroubleBound]

I agree very nice find for $600!Hope to see it restored and modded soon sounds like youre on the right track. Looks like a nice base to build from.

[baron_harkkonen]

I could post more smileys, but what's the point, you get what I'm sayin. Good job on the find, looks to be in good shape too. I'm jealous.

[Sick_Nasty]

Thanks guys! When I bought my original S14, it came with the S15 front end, and don't think I'm crazy, but I don't like the S14 body with that front end, so I was gonna trade mine for a kouki, but the guy bailed on me. Since then this is the car I have wanted. Thanks again for the comments, any advice will be greatly appreciated. Be safe everybody!

[lilRillo]

Do you want S14 tails too?? ill trade you mine for your zenki tails

[sx moneypit]

Looks like you fell into a barrel of a**holes and came out with a pussey!Great find!

[mmaxeyjr]

GREAT FIND

[Sick_Nasty]

Man I have been trying to get it running, and that pic was the day after it first started lol. Since then it's a little cleaner but I am not too worried because when I pull the motor in a few months the car is going on a rotisserie and getting sprayed. Also that motor will be pulled and sat somewhere, might build it up one day, probably just gonna junk it or give it away maybe. And to everybody trying to be a vulture, no no and no, I got this car because I love the kouki look, I love these cars, and I am not putting all this work into it just to part it out. I will post a few pics of how it looks now maybe next month or whenever I can borrow a camera, stupid Blackberry 8820 has no camera :/ this particular thread is done now, will update as I get some parts and start the gutting/building.

That's a steal. I was in Goldsboro over the summer, wish I could have snatched this up haha.

Where do you go to school?
