Wow, very clean! Totally rocking the piggy =D Not quite sure what your budget is, but a few cheap things you can do to add a bit of spice to the car would be:

Exterior LED lighting (license plate, brake lights, etc)Removing front license plate (Don't know if you'll get in big trouble for that in your state)Change the antenna to a retractable oneHID lights (Okay, not so cheap...)Some cheapo driving lights for the lookNissan or Nismo shoulder padsCluster Gauge lightingChange the shift knob to something a bit shorter (Don't know if you prefer the longer shift)Check for RUSTING

Great find! I really love the OEM look. Look forward to your future projects =D

Congrats on your car. Very clean, my only suggestion is to get better wheels.

Yeah I know...that's why I suggested to get better wheels than those. I didn't mean your stock wheels. I would rock the stock ones than those Fusions. But that's just me....

Oh and I suggest you just drive it. Don't worry about doing stuff to it until you get to know your car. Once you get to know it, you'll appreciate the stuff you do to it and in the meantime read up on the stickies posted on the forums.

i like your stock car! try and keep it that way instead of doing much of the unnecessary stuff. Instead of those wheels, you should have gotten brake upgrades. That's just me though. I really like that color and how good of a condition it is in for an 89! Welcome to nico.-Arash

scratch the nismo shoulder pads and exterior lighting and why is check for rust the last thing on the list?

1.check rust2. do all necessary maintenance (brakes, oil, coolant, trani flush, spark plugs, wires etc)3. Get coilovers and tend to the suspension needs4. Get new wheels with good, flush fitment5. detail that 20 year old paint6. consider forced induction and motor swaps (nothing like putting all your money into the stock single slammer then realizing you could have had something bigger)7. Dont put gay lights or nismo shoulder pads on it.

Have fun

i say put that thing back in the garage and buy a beater 240. that thing looks to clean to drive and risk wrecking and being your first car chances are that you will wreck it. keep the car that clean for the next 20 years and it will be a high priced collectable.

to be honest this is the thing im driving. and its not like im not gonna keep all the stock parts. its not really worth keeping for 20 years just for that. i do want to upgrade it performance wise. thanks for the suggestion but im driving it lol. and 76% of car wrecks involve people in their middle age. so i doubt im just gonna go out and wreck it. but by the way i drive a stick who knows. lol

Thank you doctor for that very important piece of information, I'm sure you have the credentials to prove that.

Don't get so optimistic in believing you wont get into an accident, you don't know what's going to happen to you.

definitely get a big aluminum spoiler, maybe some vinyl decals.. those really show the girls how big your junk is! If you want inspiration, look at the best looking 240s thread. If you dont want to take peoples opinions seriously please dont ask for them.

Supah, how about some positive posting, most of your post are negative and belittling. I dig the Heir avatar, but the sig has got to go.
