Yo guys whats going on... Ive been viewing this forum for a good 6 months now, waiting and hoping to one day get my own 240. Ive always liked the convertibles as well and luck have it, one just recently popped up in my local craigslist. A quick 2 hour drive north with 2000 in hand i got myself a new car. A 1994 240sx Convertible, all black with only 99k on the original motor and transmission. Pretty much a steal for 2k, but it does need its work done to it. Onto the good stuff...

I NEED DOOR PANELS! ANYONE HAVE ANY!, i guess heat did a number on these, looks like SHIT, Like i said, i need power door panels.

My plans right now...
Lowering Springs
I wanna find a set of 16s, black
Exhaust
also a nice looking kit, nothing crazy


UPDATE: Yeah... LOVED the convertible for all of TWO ****IN WEEKS... Ill give you the background
there was road construction earlier in the day on a bridge, they layed down fresh still molten tar to patch up the spots, 3 cars involved, 1st car, 2nd, and me, 1st car decided OH good idea, ill lock up my car so i don't hit the drop so hard, caused, number 2 to lock it up as well, which in turn made me slam on my brakes, but sadly i was on this molten tar, wheels locked but slide due to the tar, right into this guys car... hit him at about 35/40 basically got shoved under his car...
Not sure of damage... Didnt get a chance to get the front off yet... Looks to me like the entire radiator support is shoved back badly... ill keep you guys up to date... PICTURES TOMORROW...

Thankfully no one was hurting including my girl. Just glad about that. Could have been sooo much worse

Congrats:D

[BBSilvia]

I might have some let me see if there still in good condition....took them out so long ago not sure if i ripped them out or did a nice job haha

WTF! A 94 S13?
Congrats:D


'94 240sx's were only convertibles.

[DreamN]

only the vert was offered in '94. pretty much the youngest s13s around.


Edit: Damn you mr. snuffaluppagus! Stole my moment to express some 240 knowledge. :(

[yurisfriendevan]

congrats for getting a vert, a 94 no less. if you have any questions about it just shoot me a pm (i also have a 94 vert) there are also a few others on the forum that have a vert but we are few and far between!

oh ya almost forgot, get doors off of a coupe or hatch!

the vert doors are unnecessarily heavy and just plain ugly with the shark fin hanging out of it.

all in all with the exception of the custom sealing job you have on the top of the windshield frame it looks like youve got a pretty clean vert a very decent price. enjoy it.

[BBSilvia]

oh sorry didnt see you had power windows/locks, mine are manuel...you could just cut out the spots for the power and rap the door panel up in suede haha problem solved! oh and almost picked up a vert...still wish i picked it up, well if i ever see another one for a GOOD price im grabbing it!

[l2edken]

i was thinking about doing the door swap actually. Only thing is that the seat belt swap actually seems like quite an ordeal to do.

[yurisfriendevan]

well that just gives you an excuse to get buckets and harnesses!

[l2edken]

haha going into college i feel like this was a bad idea gettin this car. Now all my money is food, beer, and s13 parts ahahaha i know im not gonna be aable to stop spending money on this car

[mRclARK1]

'94 240sx's were only convertibles.

Not many were made either. Hence the thread title...

[yurisfriendevan]

ya, i know how you feel, i literally rescued mine from the crusher, caged it then found out im leaving the country in 2 months.... no money for the vert

[SexPanda]

I've wanted a vert so bad for a while now... Mostly because chicks dig verts, but IDK, I just like how they look. some guy down the road from me has a red 94 vert. I hate him.

[BBSilvia]

if any body wants to trade a vert for my pos hatch let me know haha

[honeybadger]

Heat can do that to your door panels?

[l2edken]

i think it had to be the heat, at first i thought break in but it was inside so that cant be it, im guessing just the heat warped and pulled the tops of the panels off. I mean it is a all black car with a black roof, it gets mad hot in there.

[Vision Garage]

Just get regular coupe doors. Saves a ton on weight and looks alot better with the top down.

[l2edken]
