Trololol I owned that car. It was pretty clean.

Sold it for $7k to a kid who drove from South Dakota to Seattle to buy it.

I often wonder if he ever made it back...

Nategreat923

Yeah, pretty sure you listed the car as owned by a grandpa and I emailed you to tell you what the real history was and you told me to fuck off. So yeah.

yzrider450f

I do remember that.

The first day I got her back in 2012 1997 240SX LE 5 Speed with 174k on the clock. Since then I've done a few things but kept most of them OEM
JDM bumper
JDM turn signals
JDM Navan rear valences









With a few much needed upgrades inside as well
SPL: solid subframe bushings, tension rods, outer tie rods with Tein Z33 inners
Nismo Front lower control arms
Energy steering rack bushings
Drives better than ever can't believe I put up with such horrible steering wheel vibrations at speed for over a year.

Come on people, post up the mileage as well

This is a good thread. Bravo.

kikcaffine

193k on the 240sx and 72k on the 240z

I also thought this was kind of a funny sticker.

Is that 240z for sale? Looks so clean. More pics please. *drools*

Super_OK_S13

I like the OEM/stock body look on the outside. Might add OEM areo down the road. Only mod exterior is the hood but still oem shape.

[QUOTE=niGht_kraWler;5664058]Not for sale, keeping it.


Wet-sanded the 240sx front bumper and it came out looking great. That duplicolor AH3 exact match paint is amazing. Going to do my rear bumper next, as the clear-coat failed.



^ Thats what it looked like they day I picked it up.



Thats its after being sprayed, but not wet sanded. Now its got a nice gloss to it. I will be buying an orbital buffer to hit this car with. Theres alot of artifacts in the paint and hardwater spots that wont come out.

The 89 got a bath:

-Whitey13^^^ NAILED it. That it what this thread is about. Keep her up.

Whitey13

The pea shooters and the hub caps really compliment each other.

shobotan

My '97 kouki, pretty stock except for eibach springs & bilstein shocks. The turn indicator on the rear of the front fender is a local compliance requirement.

vJilly

that stealth setup is crazy, I had to double take.. what manifold allows you to use the oem header cover thing? I dont know the real name of that piece,

Zzz89

Thank guys, vJilly you're talking about the heat shield. I had the exhaust manifold custom welded by Alex, hes here on the fourms. Its a SR/KA hybird manifold, just google search it. I even have the OEM turbo heat shield to cover my turbo haha California Highway Patrol is no joke. Took a lot of work to restore it to how it is now but I enjoy it everyday

Standard

wait I'm confused, '96 OEM kouki? LHD with a KA, rear indicator lights? IM not hating man, but its a 240. Shobotan's is a real 180

Zzz89

hence the cough...

No offence taken though, I was just jealous of Shobotan's 180sx since it was so clean and orginal. Anyways this is about as close as you can get to a 180sx here in the US.

Haha but yea only 96 models come with rear indicator lights

Kingtal0n

Want. To. Modify.

Can't keep it.

^ 43k miles?! Man, that's amazing... I thought I was lucky finding mine with 103k on it.

Pics are from a few months ago... I broke down and bought coilovers recently (my rear shocks went bad)... but I'm going to set it to a height that I think it 'should' have been from factory... not that 4x4 ride height that they somehow decided to go with.

Only non-stock things in this pic are the KT Project side markers and a cheap wal-mart antenna lol. (unless you count the JDM grille as "not stock" even though it's OEM, lol)
