Lowering springs, leaking damn near every fluid, and a rats nest of speaker wiring. And here's the car now Around November 2020, I went to partsshopmax and picked up their pro coilover, rear upper control arms, and rear toe arms. I then pulled the rear fenders quiet a bit to fit these 18x10+20 / 18x11+18 TE37SLs that I bought 6 months before buying the car Stock brakes felt like shit so I went w the typical Z32 upgrade using PBM calipers and R1 Concepts rotors. ABS was deleted shortly after Being a broke college kid working meant no real aero for me then, so I went with an eBay lip and fineline aero navan skirts. Definitely better than no aero. Early 2021, clutch was slipping, so I swapped in a white bunny 6 puck sprung kit. Overkill for an NA KA, but I had dreams of boosting it down the line. Also got an apexi exhaust and garden pipe, catless header. Waited like 6 months for a ShirtsTuckedIn bucket seat just for the cover to peel off the sides the first time sitting in it. FML Thanks to my cousin for letting me borrow his tomei 2-way LSD, I went to WSIR Balcony for my first time drifting - I sucked. But I got the chance to meet Taka Aono I wanted some 17s up front after shredding my wiring harness w the 18s, so I found a set of crusty 17x9.5+15 MB Battles. The ricer in me painted a pair green. Oh yeah, I lost the eBay lip on the freeway. Car wasn't even low, just poorly mounted P2M clear headlight lens to replace the crusty oem set. Looked like ass, but kinda cool in this one pic at Grange Cusco and Bride dropped a pretty cool zeta 4 so I had to get it to replace the STI seat More ricer pics in my dorm lot, but with the villains' angle kit. I realized the green battles were not a good look, so I rattle-canned them black and started focusing on wheel fitment After sitting on a pair of Fineline Aero type 3 55mm fenders, I finally cut up my quarters. Kouki rep wing found its way to me and after selling it and buying it back twice, I decided to keep it I think this was the end of 2021. Parts Shop Max released their Z33 brembos, so I got em to fill the wheel for those style points. I also got a pair of 17x10+18 RPF1 - idk why I bought em, I fuckin hate RPF1s. Got a JPFiberAss navan bumper off a friend. Fitment was nice on the pass side, but would not line up for shit on the driver. Battles were rattle-canned silver bc fuck black wheels. I kept away from drifting for a bit. Too broke and was the idea of crashing/fucking up my car spooked me. I also just enjoyed dailying the car to school and everywhere else. Good ol wingless look My friends and I took over SDSU's Imports@SDSU page, renaming the group @AztecImports then renaming to @State.Garage. Pretty fun times to host meets and hang out w other car people my age I wasn't the biggest fan of the type 3 fenders. Too aggressive and the pass rear arch was clocked so I had some tire rubbing issues. I ended up getting a pair of ChargeSpeed 50mm fenders, painting the "navan" bumper white, and chasing wheel fitment Although I had just graduated from SDSU, the Imports@UCSD group let me join their annual Face Off - a car meet on campus to promote their club Battles and TEs went to the back burner after getting a pair of advan RG3 18x9+25 and 18x10.5+15 RPF1s (idk why the fuck I bought another pair of RPF1) DMAX Kouki tail lights to replace the ugly zenki tails. I found USRacing side skirts and rear bumper on offer up, so I had a friend paint em white and mounted em. Looked pretty good from this angle with the Advans/Volks And back to the Douki wing My cousin found a set of Gramlight 57Pros on Zilvia, so I bought em, ran them for a bit before selling em to him. Tire size was ass, but I changed em later Sometime around January 2023 I picked up a fineline aero DMAX type 3 kit, which I later found authentic DMAX skirts and rear bumper to replace Traded the crusty RPF1 for a pair of SSR Vienna Kreis and threw the Douki wing back on. I imported a pair of CST Hyper Zeros in 18x9.5+23 for cheap too GAH DAMN, I got a final thrill banner Bit of a wheel whore, changing wheels almost every time I drove the car (and removing the douki wing) Car was starting to look how I wanted it to be - cool kit, cool wheels, and lowf I'll continue this later...

welcome all, I didn't know what to name my thread so naturally I went with ultimate build thread swag13: 1989 Nissan 240sx! This car was sold to someone else before I bought it from the great founding father of this here forum...doctor Max G. It came to me in a frankenstein state bc of the inbetween owner. Here is the car when I bought it. It came with stock seats, steering wheel and no wheels. single jingle baby!!!!!! ANOTHER BIG SHOUT OUT to the doctor for showing me this toolset. I keep one of these in every car I own and it's so good The first drive ended with a little bang... All the axle bolts were hand tight so the right side axle decided to yeet itself right after I pulled off the freeway. Ended up finding a lot of the suspension bolts just hand tight. Ended up stashing at my friends until I could get aaa to save my ass I wasted no time with this slab. Went silvia front and rep g corp asap (dw I have real g corp in the works I just have negative patience) it did have this little quarter situation going on and while the kit did come with rear overs...I was trying to keep the stock metal so I had to buy 69lb of filler once everything was put together I decided to bring it to the bay so I can work on it a bit more. shout out to Andy for the assist jic another axles decides to engage bluetooth mode once I made it out here I instantly engaged idiot mode and decided to do a reverse build. If you're not as dumb as me and are asking what that means...I decided to make it look less like shit before anything else. Did it run well? no. did it need 69 other things? yes. should i have spent money on other things first? yeah probably but I couldn't risk my ego so to prevent not being cool and to not feel embarrassed to drive it around as I continue to work on it I had to go paint. SO WE WERE OFF TO PAINT!!!!!!!!!! all this happened pretty quick...anyone notice that the roof and door aren't painted? yeah I make good choices 😎 but dw that eventually gets sort of fixed too after paint I fucked around with whatever wheels I had laying around and/or bought random pairs and sets to enjoy the fresh paint high dw nerds, i fix the crazy rear bumper gap pretty soon brb will continue soon

Hey all. So I'm fortunate enough to live in the land of the rising sun, and I got myself an Altezza last summer. I'm slowly putting it together as a drift/ mountain road tool while keeping it street registered and a reasonable street car. At the moment, the mod list is: • Coilovers from a small Japanese brand called RUSH that are not great. • Kazama auto shortened knuckles and tie rod ends • RCAs • Front pillow ball caster arms (KTS) • Kamimoto headers to stock exhaust • HKS intake I'll update as I work on it. Next step is likely an old TOMS TECS II ECU to try and get rid of the throttle sluggishness that defines these 3SG cars.
