First Car! (Bokeh's S14 Build Thread) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys, I've been lurking these forums for awhile and finally decided to post up my car, a 95' Nissan 240sx. When I was in my junior year of high school I picked up the car for $2k, with 230,000 miles on it. It was completely bone stock, with a clean interior but a lot of work needs to be done on the body. I don't have many of the pictures of the process but it all started with the radiator. While driving around, it cracked for no apparent reason (cheap plastic probably?) so it got upgraded to a Mishimoto radiator. Not to long after my dad found them at a junkyard for $200 bucks, cleaned them up, got the lips polished, redrilled and quickly painted them. (Rattle Canned with Engine Paint) Then picked up the White-Face Cluster, JDM Rear Bumper, and Skunk2 lowering springs for $600. Did the 5 lug conversion mounted the wheels and decided to shave the turn signals and side markers for a cleaner look. And this is how she sat for awhile.

Not too long later, we (My father and I) realized that my front stock struts were blown so instead of just replacing them, might as well upgrade them so we went for JSK (or JKS?) coilovers.

As of right now this is how she sits.

Current Setup:
Engine:
Mishitmoto Radiator
K&N Cone Air Filter

Suspension:
JKS Adjustable Coilovers

Wheels:
CSi Series 32
5-Lug Conversion
Rear Spacers (10mm I believe?)

Tires:
Falken Ziex ZE-502's (225/50/16's on the rear, 205/50/16's on the front)

Pics don't work, but from what I read, this isn't a build

Fixed pictures, also typed it up a bit better so it feels more like a build thread. Didn't have many pictures of the process but will start taking them now
