Yeah I dont want to be back on here in like 5 days from buying it. And be like

"Oh $hit I just f@kd-up my Zenki, I slid into oncoming traffic and $hit."

well i guess if you have experience with trans swap and stuff it shouldn't matter to you. for me though i can't do that kind of stuff and i think it's a hassle so i would rather buy one that i want instead of modding my own. the only reason i bought mine auto was because i didn't know anything about that back then, i just wanted a car i could drive, which was auto. (and it was cheaper lol)

either way, good luck with the car man, hope you make it look nice sooner or later.

Yeah,so far I'm thinking 5-lug, wheels, coilovers, exhaust, and motor KA-T, but any RB will always be on my to-do list their just great . This will all depend on the funds, don't think it will all happen at once, more like one by one.As for exterior body, I like stock OEM, but some JDM OEM add-on's will be nice nothing excessive just simple.

Well guess should update this,

Since 03/10/11 this is how it sits after my bros last ride in it.





Was on the toll road I294 North(around 95th st) on a rainy day(rained for like a whole week then straight) around 2am. Hit some water patch->hydroplaned->lost control->tried to recover several times->eventually did 180->clipped semi truck drive tires with left front corner->that (guess)pulled and spun car around back 180->aZZ end ended up under trailer tires. Walked away and so did the passenger with no injuries of any kind.

Car stalled in the middle of the road, had to get it restarted, trunk and all that $hit was dragging on the ground by wire harness it was ripped of the hinges, rear lic plate and bumper cover with foam is MIA never found it.

Reason all that happened bad weather conditions and poor shape tires(looked at them and thread is like all gone you can see braids steel/cords). I told him several times before to get new tires or swap front 2 back. But guess some people are hard headed.

Anyway now it ended up in my lap, still deciding what to do with it, its sitting in the backyard awaiting its faith, as insurance wasnt full coverage so no bueno. might turn it into track car or something, it still drives around and $hit, just need entire @ZZ end.

Bummer! Take the money and rebuild it! NOT.... Take the insurance money if you have it. Strip and sell. Buy another and get good tires!

[badbob2121]

that shell is trash! i wouldnt even consider trying to fix it..

i kinda saw the accident coming when you said your giving it to your brother... it seems like something bad happens everytime i see this type of scenario, lol

[placham]

There is no insurance money, as it was liability an he admitted to fault, its in the police report.
And I have an S13 coupe or been had it for like 5years now. I have too many cars anyway ATM, DD a 2011 Sentra SER Spec-V replaced my AE92 that quit running, my '90 S13 coupe and my '94 Celica GT 3SGTE swaped and now a FUBARed S14 Zenki. I looked at it and it seems like it needs both quarter panels and trunk floor replaced, probably will hold on to it might pick up a shell.
