Ok so a couple days ago i bought a 1995 240 SX. Good price, 1000 had some issues mainly it had been in a fender bender messing up the front passenger side a bit. Since i love the forum i looked for replacement parts and found em lol. 300 for all the lights and crap plus bumper hood and pass fender. not bad i think also found a decent set of wheels not sure if they will fit or not. They are 17 in G35 wheels. The plans are to swap to a notchtop sr or a rb25 if i can find a good deal,also auto to manual trans. For you picture whores out there here are some, not the best cause my roomie took em with a phone. Im in afganastan at the moment so i will do my best as far as pics and all that.

Welcome. Friend bought my old 17" G wheels, if the stock tires are on there you probably will want some lower profile ones.

you should worry about suspension and all that good stuff before swapping an rb25 in. Car looks good though. Looks just like my first s14
