Darshi240sx is an unknown quantity at this point
s13 The beginning of a dream.

How's it going Zilvia! I'm a new member on here that currently owns 1991 Nissan 240sx SE. However, I'm not unfamiliar with the s-chassis seeing that this is my second s13. I owned my old s13 for about two year, I absolutely loved the car when I first got it, but later developed a love hate relationship due to rot. As a result, I decided to part her out and take a break.

The break didn't take too long, about a year later I found my self searching for another s13. I would browse craigslist and the local 240 forum daily with very little luck. It so happened that one day I was browsing the local forum and found a s13 that peaked my interested, I thought it was sold but it turned out it wasn't. So I contacted the owner and scooped it up.

Now a little background about the car. The previous owner used the car mainly for autocross and it is setup really well. From what I've been hearing, its pretty quick. However, I going to be changing around something to make it my own. As for mods the car has:
-Stance GR+
-17x8 5Zigen Fn01r-c
-Motoria RUCA
-Tein inner tie rods
-300zx front brakes with goodrich lines and hawk pads
-hotshot header
-catco high flow cat
-Apexi n1 catback
-ACT HD 6 puck with fidanza light flywheel
-B&M short throw
-walbro 255
-Sparco sprint seats
-Avid racing solid tranny mount

Now a little background about myself and goal of the build. Growing up I've always loved cars. I've always loved japanese cars from the 90's era. I've owned quite a few cars, but I just fell in love with Nissans and the S-chassis. My overall goal for this car is to build it into my dream car, something that I take out on weekends and to track days and just have fun with it. Hopefully keep it as long as I can and pass it down to my kids. Seeing that I don't plan on getting rid of it lol.

Onto the build! The car currently has some rust areas on the rear quarter panel and fender, however underneath its pretty much rust free. I'm going to have a body shop cut out the rust and weld in new metal. I'm hoping to mainly drift it at events, but also do some autocross and road racing. My current parts list includes:
-NRG short hub
-NRG suede wheel-
-Circuit Sport quick release(already have)
-Enjuku suspension arms
-Intake
-Aluminum radiator and electric fan setup
-RPF1s
-Version select 180sx version vi kit
-Type x tails
-Upgraded rotors

However the list keeps growing as I find more things I want to upgrade/replace. I take picture of almost everything I get, but I will apologize in advance. My picture taking skills are not the greatest so bare with me lol.

Onto the pics!
