I just sold my most recent 240sx featured on stancenation.com for a few reasons. Now it's time to start over. Here's that article if anyone wants to check it out...the car was lowered even more after that article but didn't get a chance to get more GOOD pics..I have some personal ones and they are posted in the ZENKI UNITE thread and wheel fitment.

So I'm gonna go ahead and start a build thread for fun and see how it goes. No promises that I'll have super fast updates but I will do it on a daily basis...or try:) Never did one of these but I figured it would be good to look back on if I ever wanted to see how far I've come. For this car I have decided insteading of letting my boys do the work while I'm stuck at work I will try to make it a fun project for me and my girlfriend. Should be fun:)
Heres pics of the car when I bought it a few days ago.

It's a 95 SE with a S13 blacktop SR with the stock turbo doing about 12psi. It's tuned and runs pretty good other than a slight high idle(1200-1500) Other than that everything is stock. It put down around 250-260.

My plans for this car is to make it a daily/track car. In the last few days I've ordered ISIS arms/PBM coils for the suspension, a steering wheel/QR/shift knob for the interior and led tails/dmax wing for the exterior.

I haven't done anything to the car other than some LED license plate bulbs, hyper white reverse bulbs and new shift boot since I got it so it's just sitting in my garage at the moment until the parts come in.

The zenki taillights and xs power exhaust are for sale too if anyone is interested as I plan on getting the ISIS 4" dual tip exhaust. Look under my name for threads started to find the FS thread.

What bulbs did you use for the plates and reverse lights?

I forgot...they are little wedge bulbs on the license plate that are the same as the corner bulbs. I didn't happen to look at the part number before putting em in.

Current things in the works right now are trying to get the best deal on the wheels I want(since I'm buying 3 sets), probably get another ISIS tubular turbo manifold to add some bling and a bit more power out the motor and still debating if I am going kouki or not but until them I'm getting a replacement SE lip since mine is busted.

I'm excited to see how this one turns out, your first one had enough soul to pull off that kit in white!

Build threads:
Almost everyone enjoys building their cars and sharing that experience, as well as checking out others' builds for inspiration. Sadly, far too many users have a tendency to do half-hearted builds and either rarely update or update with trivial progress. In the interest of keeping the Chat forum clear of three hundred 'Install SR, ziptie aero, rattlecan paint' threads, incomplete, or in-progress build threads are not allowed. If you have completed your build, wrangle all those pictures into a post and tell us about it, but make sure the build is finalized. If you insist on having an in-progress build, Premium members have a specialized subforum for that specific purpose.
