Default my new ride...

UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 4 AND 5!!!!

Well, I finally threw in the towel on hondas......for now...

I come from a background of owning 7 hondas, most of em swapped with b series and I decided to join the nissan world. My friend has had a s14 for about 4-5 yrs now and every time I rode in it, it made me want one so finally I sold my GSR and picked this up....Found it for only $1900 and couldn't pass it up. Its a 93 SE w/134k on it. I plan on doing a sr20det swap within a month or 2, then Tein Flexs, some nice wheels (thinkin 18x9 r and 18x8 f) then more suspension work...

here she is stock...




Don't mind the background, pic taken in front of my buddies new home being built...


scored some 5 lug and newer SE wheels






buddy hooked me up with a couple 5mm spacers we threw in the back to widen the stance a lil...


also scored some 97 SE seats...


thats all so far, I've only had the car 1 week!! plenty more to come shortly

Sure does! Yea, I know, I'll get my *** down for an alignment soon, for now we just eyeballed the toe for now to get by, amazingly the car doesn't pull to either side. You should have seen it the 1st time we put the steering wheel str8 after finishing the front

I was actually wanting to do a 95 SE but couldn't find any in the 3 months I was looking. They are so hard to find in SE trim and 5spd. I am happy so far with this one tho to start with. I've been looking around and decided I might get the jdm 180sx type X front bumper for it. It looks so hot, even with flippy headlights

You got very lucky since it looks very clean. I also would have opted for the S14 body just so you wouldn't have to do the 5 lug conversion + hub/arms over from the 95'ers. But keep it goin. Looks good.

I got sick of looking for a 240 for months, plus I have 6 friends with 95+ 240's all overly done. So ive gone down a slightly different route. You'll enjoy it very much.
