2tonecoupegrl · 03-08-2013, 09:44 AM

To restore it yes, Ive already pulled the HUD dash and carpet (obviously everything that sits on the carpet.) Im still undecided to either pull or leave the OEM sound reduction material. Thoughts???

pull and re do.

2tonecoupegrl · 03-08-2013, 10:18 AM

I know you can use dry ice and a hammer to get the OEM stuff out but where do you find replacement material?

Aftermarket stuff like DynaMat or GTSound

Inzane · 03-08-2013, 10:37 AM

Glad to see people taking interest in keeping these cars original paint and not repainting them over. I'm sure there isn't many left.

I did see this one on craigslist for sale.

1993 Nissan 240sx convertible

Not a real two-tone. Verts didn't come factory two-tone.

Arsenal240sx · 03-08-2013, 11:39 AM

My car needs some bodywork and fresh paint which will be the OE 2 tone of course. I wanted to keep it all original but I swapped in the S14 KA in and made it a 5spd. Installed s14 front seats and rear seat covers over the original s13 rear seat cushions. Cusco coilovers and just picked up my 17x9 +20 FN01RC's from being powder coated gloss white. Ive spent about 5G's on it and its still looking like a missile. Lol

Welcome to the club I'm like 2k in and mines still not running, glad to see someone else that's sticking with it!!!

I'm almost $13,000(+/-$500) into my build. Just now getting around to starting body stuff. Engine, suspension, and safety tech took a good chunk out of my bank account. Picked up my Silvia front today. Unfortunately I need bulbs for my triple projectors and to figure out how the brackets go on. I can't tell if I'm tired or retarded, can't figure out how they go on.

KiLLeR2001 · 03-11-2013, 11:35 AM

I think its safe to say at this point that no USDM factory two-tones came with rear spoilers. If you have HUD, you automatically have an XE model (with or without the sunroof).

If you have a sunroof, then you will have HUD and therefore an XE model.

Bambi · 03-11-2013, 12:37 PM

Yup, killer's correct. My two-tone is an XE and has a power sunroof and HUD.

The 5K doesnt include the cost of the car which was given to me by my brother for free. I only spent a few hundred bucks bringing it from Fresno to San Diego on a trailer. Lol Gonna spend a good amount still before its where I want it to be.

Arsenal240sx · 03-12-2013, 03:55 PM

Heres a picture from yesterday after mounting my 5Zigens with some 215/45r17. I plan on lowering it a bit more. I dont know how low Cusco Zero1's go and I have a Silvia conversion waiting to be put on after I sort out my custom power steering lines. Need an ES bushing kit too. But so far I like where this is going.

KiLLeR2001 · 03-12-2013, 04:09 PM

Keep working at it Arsenal, you'll get there. I think white wheels look best on the platinum blue.

So far I've spent around $850 on the two-tone, not including the price of the car.

Arsenal240sx · 03-12-2013, 04:27 PM

Your car is awesome bro. Wish mine werent as beat up as it is. Slowly but surely itll get some more love. Just bought a shop press to do my extended studs and all of my suspension bushings. Then more low to get rid of the 4x4 gap. Not sure what to do about the rear fender lip. Definitely no pulling and just roll Im thinking. I dont want it slammed either just minimal gap.

holslut s13 · 03-13-2013, 05:21 PM

@killer your coupe is soo minty fresh!

sr20detconv · 03-16-2013, 01:17 PM

cant wait to take her out.
