I bought this car last weekend with a silvia front end on it already but it needed to get painted. I had to use the bomex front bumper that I had for my hatchback cuz this car didnt have a bumper yet. Once I get another bumper I can put my silvia front end on the hatch and get it painted as well. I have big plans for this car, going for well over 400rwhp I hope. I already have an LSD and most of my 5 lug parts so that I can install my Volks on it. People will either love the color or hate it, I personally think its awesome. Let me know what you think.

I decided to go with that Bimmer color on this one since I plan to keep it. The hatchback I have will be painted Nissan Murano Copper, and then sold.

I kinda like the color. Very interesting. You must have a ton of money or something. Fist the fastback, then the Impala (?) and now a coupe! You have some sweet cars. Keep us posted on your progress! :)

What engine you plan on using for the coupe? Please say CA :D, then you would have driven/owned the big 3 240sx engines.

Seriously did you rob a bank? :confused:

DRFT- It just had the exhaust on it when i got it. He kept it in good condition, he was building it and then he got his girl pregnant and had to sell it. It has a brown dashboard, but the rest of the interior has been changed to black. It has AC, PW, PL, Power sunroof, and HUD.

Rancid240- Actually, I sold my S14 for $13,500 and I didnt owe a dime on it. Plus I have been at the right place at the right time for these deals I have been getting.

WhiteNissanS13- I have all 5 lug parts, and almost all of my 300zx brakes, and my LSD ready to go in so I can put my Volks on it. Just waiting on some final pieces then I should be able to get everything on next weekend.

KiDyNomiTe- I am going to use an SR because of availability of parts. Plus my friend has a 454 rwhp stock block SR in his car, I am going to try and duplicate his setup. He did that with only 17psi on pump gas....

um he said he used his bomex bumper from his fastback, but uhh would that mean you did some serious hacking to that bumper jay?

Looking good thought.. I can picture it now. "Jay's used car lot. for all your turbocharged used car needs" :D

Clean looking car. And I really like the color too! Good find!

P.S. Think you could give us a few hints are to how he got 454 rwhp outta the SR???;)

240Degrees- believe it or not, right now it is riding cut springs lol. I need coilovers bad.

Silvia Driver- It is droooping a little. The body shop is going to work on it next week to see if they can lift it.

Grant- I didnt have to cut it at all. I never installed this bumper on my fastback, didnt get the chance to.

AmherstSR20DET- He did cams, cam gears, tit retainers, valve springs, GT BB turbo, Haltech, greddy intake manny, FMIC and the rest of the supporting mods. He works at a dyno shop so he has logged hundreds of passes and mastered the tuning of the car.

those pictures symbolize why i started to like silvias/240's in japan. it's quite nice, i wish it was mine. i even like how the stock rims go w/ it w/ that color, i want them. i think u have something nice to work with. let us know the results w/ the green devil when she's done.

Looking pretty good, I like the color. Are you sticking with the tripple projectors? Factory option side skirts would compliment nicely..

Nice job... You said it right about the color, you either like it or not. Personally, I'd shoot for something darker, but thumbsup on having the balls to be different. Keep us posted on the progress and hope to see it in Atlanta in August.

whateverjames- He hasnt been able to get to the track yet due to manifold cracking issues. He has however been to 186mph at 7900rpms in 5th registered by his haltech!

octane103- No pics of the lowly SOHC, sorry!

FRPilot- actually I am more afraid of the front spolier scraping.

Kitahara- I may put the dual projectors on this car, I like them better. I would like the skirts as well... anyone know where to get em?

I thought I was the only one!

Very nice ride! So you are going for the sil80 on the hatch then selling it?

get pdm sides or bomex sides for this coupe...

Sweet coupe, Jay! I'm diggin' on the evergreen paint! But, damn you, you can't do Murano copper on the hatch! (j/k) That's what I plan on doing on mine, with the roof black and tinted windows...(and someday, g-grow version 2 front, sides, and rear under with a wangan and some new rims....if only I had the money to match my ideas....)

Again, the coupe looks nice. You gotta post pics of it after the 5 lug and rims. (BTW, did you ever get any side shots of the hatch with the rims?)

Love the color, stands out without attracting too much attention. Would go well with bronze wheels, methinks.

Hahahaha LOL. I think I am allowed to have my old car in my signature still. I put all of my blood sweat and tears into building it, and it will stay there as long as I want it to be. :D
