I just bought a new car and I got it shipped here to phoenix from Missouri... I'm kinda new to the owning a 240 thing but no stranger to the drift scene.

I was hoping you guys could recommend where to go online to buy legit parts. Most of these websites are incredibly generic and seem a little sketchy. Send me some links of where you guys get your stuff (esp. appearance mod stuff) thanks

Well here's one: 240SXMotoring - Nissan 240SX High Performance Parts and accessories at Competitive Prices
Ebay and Craig's List are also really good places to look first when buying anything.

Lately phase2motortrend.com has had some of the best prices, they are having some big sales.

^x2 and frsport.com best of the 2 form sponsors.

Also if ur going to start "modding" your car right off the bat my 2 cents is coilovers, and suspesnion work first. ONLY! no motor crap like intakes/exhaust and all that bs.

I actually got a pretty sick deal. Its a 92 Coupe with a stock rb25det in it, doesn't run yet, it needs a new wiring harness and ecu. but its got fully adjustable ksport suspension but i gotta convert it from a 4 to 5 lug still and put some real wheels on it. Its also got the full skyline tranny, axle, gears, a welded dif. and a custom drive-shaft. Aslo a stage 3 spec clutch, Apexi Exhaust.

But its hideous, minus the body kit. its two-tone orange and black (baRF) over a full fiberglass Origin Wide-Body Kit (30mm in the front 50mm in the back) but that paint is gonna be the first thing to go believe me. Also has a roll cage, carbon fiber seats, and a pretty stripped interior, no a/c etc.

I'm mostly lookin for exterior shit. I was think about makin some of my own parts, spoiler, lip, etc but i was wonderin what my options were to purchase...

thanks for the websites, definitely some solid ones. I got some pictures posted to...

This a new car to me, I bought it for 5k on ebay and had it shipped to Phoenix all the way from Missouri.. Seems to be a great starter car. The Rb is less than 6 months old and has less than 5000 miles on it because it has not been running for the past 5 months, lol. But it just needs a battery, ecu and wiring harness so she should be cruisin in a couple weeks.

Opinions Please... haha, don't hold back, I know the paint is hideous. lol

you're brave to buy a ricy looking car with a swap you haven't seen run. as lots of halfassery may have been involved.

but considering it runs good ect, with a little dericeing it could be nice..

lol at the steering wheel saying drifting...

but for 5k its not a horrible deal..

best of luck to you and your new car.. i hope to see some updates with it looking how it should!
