Not trying to be a smartass, but if your car is clean and done well why do you care to make it 'different' for the sake of being so?

I see what you mean and I should clarify. It wasn't the sole reason I changed it up. I found some stuff on YAJ that I've been wanting to run and I was getting bored of the OEM setup that I had since 2007. I raised the car up for a more functional stance and that was making the OEM aero look insufficient. The front vents just seemed too small and the bumper seemed like it was 3 ft off the ground even with the lip. I wanted something that was in between an OEM look and aftermarket, like a tuner house/270R kind of look if that makes sense. If my car was going to have a much more unique look(other than the OEM/OEM+Greddy lip) in the process that was also a huge plus.


P.S. those are real Nismo skirts. Old logo perhaps? If things keep going the way they are I will be trading them for a house in CO or UT in a few years.

I'm looking to gtfo of here eventually, trust me.

I agree with trends on hatch aero style, but whos actually buying the authentic parts? Not a lot of kids these days, all fake and plastic aero that can fit in a small box and unfold. Im all for buying another BN kit, because that shit fit like a god dam glove. i think i had like 5 mins of very little trimming.

What grinds my gears is people just want half ass cars and looks for the gram. I agree with Crimsion on people with half decent paint jobs then the final execution of the car looks like ass because of panel gaps and just little things that catch your eye and have you asking, why though...

Ah okay. So it just pushed you over the edge to get this shit done. I can see that. At any rate, car looks good!

If I can't stay in Japan as a contractor I'm trying to avoid CA like the plague. I have some 'old logo' parts too. Maybe I can get a house in another state by next year if I sell a few things...lol.

Yeah. I love how it's my duty to 'teach new guys' but how in the fuck do you teach someone patience. I'm not even that good at being patient lol. A lot of cars I used to see on the internet only and now see sometimes here in Japan are like that: they look great on IG but in person you can see the cut corners. Perception is, unfortunately, reality nowadays.

Just make sure you enough old logo cupholders in your old logo cupholder account when it comes time to get pre-approved. I actually have an old logo account at Goldman-Sachs with a rate of 2%.


You probably already know, but depending on what you do it wouldn't be that hard to find something that pays decent out there.

[DJTTon]

At what point can we actually start asking 10k+ for good condition, restored and lightly modified 240s? People always harp on folks selling cars for 7k+, but just curious on other people's opinions on this one.

LOL the Goldman-Sachs thing hahahaahah!

I do IT shit so jobs shouldn't be too hard to find...if I get the proper certifications. Nothing is certain until it's happening, though. Even then, how long is it certain?

...right now. I mean if I end up having to sell the grey fastback in CA I'm not asking anything less than $7k. If I had to sell I might even ask more after looking over my records.

-1994 SE w/sunroof
-91,XXXmiles
-2nd Owner
-Paid $4500
-5MT Swap BARELY USED w/all OEM shit and new clutch
-New Pads/Rotors all around
-New Speakers/Head Unit w/Bluetooth
-Working AC/heat

Car is coming bone-fucking-stock and I will HAPPILY be ridiculed for my price point knowing that whoever buys it will take care of it, or I'll be forced to hold on to it.

[Jo_Galezo]

600$ for two. Looks like the price went down already.

Oh yeah. Price is so low. He's a pillar of the community.

This is the most recent bid on YAJ. It's for a pair of cupholders. The faded one isn't pictured. Yes, it could be a different bid. Odds are it isn't. Even if it is, here's the YAJ price.

[dizzariot]

Be sure to read the description here:





More rare than the old logo, but half the price. Do you guys STILL not see how the pricing is totally arbitrary depending on what he has that week. Wake the fuck up.

I feel another defensive response coming on.

[Jo_Galezo]

I mean, im not exalting him. But the previous cupholder was 600$ for one.

He’s charging 600$ for two which is 300$ each. If the yaj price was 200$ before shipping. I personally would say that 300$ for one isn’t to far off. Yes the pricing can still be lowered but that is a step in the right direction.

Not at all lol, your points make a lot of sense. Albeit the way you get to those points may be a little harsh but yes i do agree with you. After doing a ton of research one night i saw some things that definitely opened my eyes & now we just have to go to the source of whoever initially sells these parts. Weather it be yaj or some random website from thailand. Good deals can be found and we just need to look instead of being lazy & succumbing to the convenience.

Jo, are you like 17 and using your parents money to drive up shoe prices & trying to do the same to car parts? You suck.

You people are nuts.

The fact that you would even bother to search YAJ for a fucking cup holder let alone squabble about being $200, $300 or $600 as fair and reasonable is insane.

For not even $200, you can have a legit OEM Gelandenwagen cup holder and it's leather wrapped...

It's $200 for 2 on YAJ. Meaning they were $100/piece. Reading comprehension.


Funny because this still looks like you're defending it.

Oh don't get it twisted, homie. I'm not the one looking for these parts. A close friend shares a disdain for Amsterdam-based cucks and we both enjoy looking up his prices that are, apparently, trending in 'the right direction.'

I'd never pay more the $10 for a cupholder.

[Jo_Galezo]

Got me there, nvm then haha i thought it was 200$ for one. I should’ve read properly [emoji854]

Good point. Do we even have proof anyone has actually paid $600 for one of these cup holders? If no one has actually purchased one for $600 then his absurd price means nothing. He'll be forced to lower the price until he sees what the market actually commands for it...assuming no one was dumb enough to pay $600 for it.

[FaLKoN240]

Imagine thinking that any of this stuff is gonna get attention when you pull into your next meet with maybe 13 cars half of which are mismatch painted daily driver s chassis that barely run.

/eyeroll.

Actually, this makes perfect sense. Enough people talk shit, they pull the ad, throw it in storage, and mark it as SOLD.

It's a cunty move within a cunty move. Cuntception.

It's like you're in their minds. Old logo Nismo is wayyyyy more important than tires, brakes, fluids, and various mounts/bushings.

Does anyone take this guy seriously? Constant bullshit spewing. Typical SJW far left millennial omitting important details to twist the truth.

Was ONE cup holder that sold in 9 minutes because the seller did not know what he had and listed a low buy out price of 20,000 yen.

[Jo_Galezo]

Oh so i wasn’t dumb. I thought it was one!

Somebody with way too much money to burn or one of these Instagram self proclaimed entrepreneurs capitalizing on a "lit" opportunity .
