My 95 S14 Build Thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

juvi22003 · 01-20-2014, 08:42 AM

Picked up a 95 240sx the day before Christmas for my daily, but after lurking the forum for a while I decided I couldn't keep this car stock.
I was always a big fan of this body style and always wanted to own one.

I’m new to this part of the world so any help would be greatly appreciate!

I plan to do engine last, dropped off the car at the shop last week for a full paint job and color change.

Items i already bought for the car:
NRG steering wheel, quick release and hub
NRG bucket seats
Corbeau Harness belts
Emusa tower floor chassis brace
Harness Bars
Circuit sports corner lamps
Nismo License plate
Nismo Oil cap
M2 short shifter
Philips LED Taillights
Nismo shift knob
Oem Radio Bezel and shift boot
JDM cluster
Pacesetter long tube headers
Megan racing catback exhaust
Cosmis wheels

Will update thread with more pics during the week

Are you going to keep it as a Zenki or do a Kouki conversion on it?

juvi22003 · 01-28-2014, 08:53 PM

Images wont show in thread when i upload from photobucket can anyone tell me how to fix that?

FourtyKid · 01-28-2014, 10:17 PM

Make an Imgur account instead. Photobucket is outdated, unreliable, and slow.

jk26 · 01-28-2014, 10:23 PM

Good start, where abouts in west palm are you? I'm located in boca..

PB works just fine... They just did a dumb thing with their autocopy code. Don't use the IMG one they list. Autocopy the direct, and use the image button on here.
