I never knew the code for our tranny.

cool.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it doesn't look like you need paint yet. Most people would reccomend wheel, suspension, and brake upgrades first. Floormats would be my first mod (www.courtesyparts.com). I have never seen anyone buy a 240SX that came with floormats. You're lucky to have headlights that heven't turned yellow yet. BTW, where is Gem of the Hills, FL? Tallahassee?

[Colorado S14]

Wow that interior is a dusty mess. Congrats on the purchase keep us up to date on the progress.

[420sx]

that color is ruby pearl.

looks almost like mine when i bough it. besides the gold gay pinstripe. take that crap off

They may be painted like mine.

Although I may finally be rid of them because this just happened:

[struka]

replicants14....what did u do?

[Replicant_S14]

replicants14....what did u do?

Parked it there, ....came back out and it looked like that. Cool huh?

[Ian]

i think you might have been on pimp my ride express..

looks pretty similar to the other work i've seen from that show

[Dopefish]

Gem of the Hills is Clermont. :)

I unfortunately sprained my ankle today in a dirtbike accident so cleaning will be delayed... :( Should clean up quite well -- the clearcoat is a little rough on the roof and trunk lid. I also found out today the remote release for the trunk doesnt work as well as the cruise isnt functioning so I'll have to take a look at that.

Clean = gut and remove sound deadning?

Trunk release has a cancel switch in the back, flip it up to work.

Awesome -- I'll look at it tomorrow, thank you.

Also, is it common to have a 'short' in the wiring in the front dash area -- my speakers in front have horrible noises denoting a short (door spks and a-piller tweeters), also the coolant guage seems to be effected by it as well. It is my biggest concern right now as I'm worried further damage could occur from it. :/

I've leared just about every little thing you can about FD's and now the learning process starts over to learn the quarks and excentricities of the 240.

[Drunk Bastard]

post up the FD!

that s14 is stock-tastic! :bash:

[420sx]

u need NAWSS :)

[Dopefish]

Turns out I actually damaged a bone in my foot (Wishful thinking on the sprain) so now I have to meet with an orthopedic surgeon about possible 'repairs'. Hopefully they wont have to order overnight parts from Ja-pan or my foot could get expensive JDM style. lol

Anyways -- I hear requests for the FD -- its current state is without a motor but I have a few glory shots from when everything was running well.
