New guy from South Jersey - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey whats goin on guys. I'm from South Jersey and I just picked up a 93 S13 Hatch SE. I've wanted one for a while but all I could find was coupes, came across this deal from a friend for 400 dollars and picked it up Friday. I'm new to the whole RWD thing but not the car thing, I currently drive an 04 Tiburon but I wanted something a little more fun to drive so I picked up the hatch as a project.

Tiburon:

240sx:

^Nice what are your plans for it??

JerseyRican · 12-01-2008, 02:18 PM

HKS Coilovers, SR20 Redtop, Origin stylish body kit, carbon fiber hood and hatch & Advan Ver.2 Wheels. I haven't decided on the color i'm thinking either championship white or burgundy.

Vinny · 12-01-2008, 02:21 PM

please don't put a fanboy type r color on this car no Chmpn white , phoenix yellow or any of that...

Do a nice clean color....

Version 2's are a go!!

Hks coils?!?!!

Get something a lil more affordable unless you a baller do ya thing but you can always find good deals on here..

Origin kit is a go...

All personal opinion by all means it's your car just saying though

JerseyRican · 12-01-2008, 03:29 PM

i'm used to paying alot for parts, I own a Hyundai Tiburon..lol. The aftermarket for that car is more costly than it's worth. But if i don't get championship white maybe an alpine white. I like the color of contrast of cf with a white car. As far as the HKS Coilovers i was told you can get them for as little as 800 dollars. Which IMO for coilovers isn't too bad.

Vinny · 12-01-2008, 05:01 PM

hks for 800? shouldn't be true and even so, still crap.

Check out a company on here called Powered By Max. Excellent products.
You can even try Stance! 240's don't need high end products to look good

thefro526 · 12-01-2008, 05:37 PM

Lol Ricky, I'm gonna have to educate you and what to spend you money on and what not to spend your money on with these cars. Like V-Mac said, HKS coilovers are kinda pointless and way too overpriced unless you're putting them through crazy abuse and even then it's hard to justify the cost.

Haha I still love you though, welcome to Zilvia...

White is a very clean color, so that'd be cool....

Haha you pay alot for parts?? i own an STI trust me i know what you mean when break rotors cost 350 a pair or higher..
