Hello to NICO club. I'm new here and i hope to use this site for many answers. I plan to start building 240's and z32's soon so i know i will have many questions. Well my first queston is which 240 platform does the NICO club think turns the most heads on the street when customized? This will be my first build.

Buy a segway, i dont think i have ever seen a segway on the road. Put a turbo on it, a wing, maybe some 19" volks and underglow. If anyones got good photoshop skillz...

First step in turning heads is not buying an economy car marketed towards secretaries...

If you want to turn heads get a van and spray paint "FREE CANDY" on the side.

If you want a nice looking 240, get a convertible.

Turns the most heads...I'd have to say a kouki s14. Just because they're very aggressive looking stock...least the front is.

You could take a Geo metro, light it on fire, then smear the sides with dog crap... Guarantee plenty of heads will turn as you drive by.

I like my 240, its a fun car... but if you are just trying to impress people why not start with a more prestigious car? If you are just trying to show off, a car that was cheap 10 years ago isn't a great start...

im sorry, i couldnt resist. Buy one that is really beat up, so basically save it from the scrap heap and do our community a favour. This could be an s14 but probably an s13. just find out your priorities and decide from there.

Do you have any car building expirience prior to this?

Dont mind the Jaded. i can explain why they went the way they did with the commentary.

240sx is probably the second most Coveted import after the civic. So you will See ALOT of 240sx's modded and or riced to all hell. a 240sx doesnt really turn a head because there are so many on the road. i have found the best looking 240's are s13 and s15 JDM Front clip modded with clean paint and a nice set of rims with some slight lowering. again it wont be too too unique because there are alot like that. i guess if you wanted to be unique as others said, dont get a 240 (or a Civic for that matter). Mod your car for your enjoyment, not to pick up chicks and NOT to DRIFT.
