Period correct mods... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s13Kurt · 10-26-2011, 08:27 PM

Im looking for some opinions on what period correct s13 parts I should be looking for. Stuff like old omari gauges, old hks evc's etc. I want to put this car together like someone would've done in the 90's.

revcyanide · 10-26-2011, 08:30 PM

sooo outdated electronics?

why don't you use 90's exterior styling, but use the better electronics they make today, rather than spending a fortuned and looking forever for stuff that does not work as well as stuff off the counter?

your car, it's cool. just makes no sense to me.

s13Kurt · 10-26-2011, 08:39 PM

Im not making this a rule of thumb for the way I want the car done but I do want a couple pieces. When it comes to tuning it would be power fc or the like but some old gauges and stuff wouldn't hurt.

ah ok, good luck to you then.

I feel you on this. What I say for the most part is "dress your car for its age". I don't know anything exactly on your topic though. I like old school parts on old school cars.

Only thing I like to do period correct is bicycles....

So legit. GL post a build thread.

HELL YES! Is it bad a good friend of mine just sold that same Tomei bumper yesterday? I thought it was ugly and wouldn't look proper unless I had the whole kit.

Ramonesfreak2010 · 10-26-2011, 10:05 PM

I'm sorry, but can some one tell me what "period correct" means?

Darren · 10-26-2011, 10:15 PM

+1 for "Fast" on the hood
+1 for the yellow jacket from the video.

Sleepy_Steve · 10-26-2011, 10:24 PM

I think you should find a period tape deck player. It will be the hotness.

Flicktitty · 10-26-2011, 10:33 PM

I hear you, i always thought it would be very cool to do a mid 90's themed S13. Old school HKS gauges all older/rare parts on it. basic and simple.

best bet is to search the classifieds here everyday. get good with Yahoo Japan auctions and ebay. Good luck.

I had a few of the old style Nismo Gauges...

Tomei Triangle Bar

Tomei Steering Wheel

Tommy Kaira Grill

Thats a good start... you can also search the forum for Threads like Rare s-chassis parts and S-chassis easter egg search...

Good luck finding anything from Sealazone, Kids Heart, or most of the real originators of the S-Chassis

Both of those are sick, but I have a coupe. Rocket Dancer over everything if I do get another hatch.

Ive got that hks TT and an HKS evc 3/4 as well as some old school HKS gauges

I like how they inserted the sounds of the ticking clock when the chick had a digital stopwatch. And the way they looked at each other like they were in those old mentos commercials. WP

Quail · 10-27-2011, 02:34 AM

I'd love to do an old skool build. I used to have an Apexi Multichecker. Wish I'd never sold it on.

Howie Felter Snatch · 10-27-2011, 03:02 AM

LOL! Tisk Tisk.. That acid tripping guy is driving an autotragic S13.. lol.. See 2:19 on that movie and you'll be quite diappointed.

period correct mod CA18T with auto trans super JDM Dopness son

Dolph_KYAS13 · 10-27-2011, 06:52 AM

Started Going this route with my skyline when i first got it. So far ive got Nismo NS5R wheels, steering wheel, strutbars, shift knob. missed out on a set of 400r seats, kinda bummed me out.

I looked forever for nismo gauges and couldnt find any so i picked up old HKS amber ones

Car came with a Profec A boost controller with an overtake button lol

Advice for you is seach the easter egg and rare parts thread, and search alot, some parts are easy to find and can be quite cheap. more sought after parts take a while to find can be real pricey.

s13silvia123 · 10-27-2011, 07:05 AM

the only problems with some gauges are when the sensors go out and trying to find parts for the gauges. lately i saw some old school tomei gauges for sale but damn they are expensive, about $350 a pop
