Hey guys, I'm obviously new here haha. I have an 89 240sx with an intake and exhaust, but that's it engine wise. I have a bunch of suspension stuff done to it, tanabe coils, sway bars, etc, as well as some wheels. I just started going out to the k-mart (kiln creek shopping center) a few weeks ago, but since I'm in college i'm not home that often. I've met some pretty chill people out there and it's pretty fun, learned some stuff that I didn't know before like where to get parts, etc. Right now my engine has horrible compression in cylinder 4, I think it's a leaking valve but i'll check that next time I'm home. Anyways, on to some pics haha.





Here's a shot with a friend's teg

That's a pretty nice starter platform, and (surprising for a S13) it's mostly one color.


Have plans for it?

Haha yeah, I've been browsing for a while and have taken note that people are quick to trash talk or w/e. Plans are find out what's wrong with cylinder 4, if it's just a bad valve seal then replace those and turbo it pretty soon. I might be getting a t25 from an sr as well as sr 370cc injectors, and from there I'll start piecing together parts for turbo, but first thing is to find out what is wrong with it. I might end up having to rebuild it, but since I have great compression on the other 3 cylinders i'd rather not have to tear it apart for 1 cylinder. Either way boost is in the future haha.

Haha yeah they are rota rb's, 16x8 with +15 offset. Sit nice and flush . Haha when i got it it had the chuki bumper on it, granted it was thrashed to hell, but my parts car had a perfect chuki bumper and flawless fenders that I put on completing the conversion. Also the engine is a 92 DOHC, so you really can't tell it was originally a piggy unless you look at the mfg date lol. Thanks for the compliments guys.

I thought all colors were +4 but the bronze were +10? I had the bronze on my old coupe:
