hey guys, i just purchased a 1992 nissan 240sx le and im looking to due some exterior modifications to enhance the look of the car. This is my first car so bare in mind i don't have a big budget. The pic is below and id appreciate it if you guys can give me recommendations or tips on how to make it look better (body kit, spoiler) and maybe should i introduce a new color to it since i can't do a full body paint job since its out of my budget, any hlep from u guys would realy be appreciated so ill see you guys around

thx again

 

Dude, your car is mad clean! If you don't want to paint it all, I would go for the Silvia front end with your coupe, they look hawt on them. And leave everything OEM =] Just get some JDM turn signals and call it a day =]

 

Your is really clean, if you dont have enough for the Silvia conversion then i say just get some JDM parts (lip, lights, etc.) and juss throw some rims and lower it a bit.

BTW do u only want looks?

P.S. NICE CAR!!

P.S.S i was juss wonderin how much u picked that up for? She looks MINT, which is pretty rare. In the words of Napoleon Dynamite.... LUCKY!

 

hehe hey guys, thx for the advice i took note of the silvia front end im going to look at the stores tomorow, yea for a first car its not that bad but i think i might of said it wrong i'd like to introduce a new color to it but i can't afford a paint job so maybe color the spoiler or something else any ideas? which colors?

Heh for now its looks that im looking for becuase as of this moment i don't even have my licence only temporary im good heh :d its because someone down my street was selling it i saw it luved it bought it. Well how much you think i bought it for ?? well ill tell you in canadian currency 3500 and i didnt pay any taxes or anything at all straight 3500 4 winter and 4 summer tires, they suck but im going to pick up some chrome mags so hopefully ill be good yea i think i got a buy, thx for the compliment guys, any other ideas on what i should do maybe a bigger spoiler or a hood scoop? gimme ideas cause like i rly got to make it with the money i got only a student in high school you kno

take it ez ttyl

 

150 000 km it has on it

 

Dont put a spoiler on it! Some hood scoops are alright. I would leave it pretty much stock though when it comes to looks, other than the Silvia front end, you could probably just do a A'pexi N-1 exhaust and call it a day =] I don't have my license yet so I know how it is. The 240 in my sig is my first car, I love it! They are fun to drive...and drift ^_^ You can get a decient painjob for less than one grand, that Silvia kit is going to be kinda expensiver though. If you were to get rims, I would go with rims like these:
Now that would be one hott 240!

 

If you want to put a wing dont put anything TOO BIG, if any wing at all, go with a low wing that touches the trunk(i wouldn't put a wing AT ALL if i had a coupe) but its YOUR car so if you want a big wing, i say go 4 it! And i agree with th3br4d on the Apexi N-1 exhaust, thats what im going with on my Fastback.

 

wow you guys are good and umm should i put vinyl on it if so got a demo and what color, in case the picture isnt clear its a tan color i was thinknig of black racing strip but id like some advice now on the color issue cause im not to fond of the tan color, and right now i can't afford any kind of paintjob or the sylvia front end whcih i am geting later tho cuz its damn nice...

 

zenki lip looks real sharp on coupes, also you might want some cool alloys and some springs/ shocks

 

This is my personal opinion on what you should do. This is based on looks, not what's under the hood

Stage one
-N-1 Exhaust --You can get the real thing or you can get the replica which doesnt look as good, but still pulls it off-- ($300-400 for the real thing, $70-100 for the replica)

-Custom Piping for the exhaust --try to get it "jap Style" sideways, your car will look awesome with it on ($140-160)

-Rims --Depends on what you want to do, if you want new tires (Which I suggest because you do have a used car) it will probably be a bit expensive. you can cheap rims with good tires or used tires with some nice rims if you want to go cheaper-- ($400-1200 with tires) ($300-700 just rims)

-Lowering Springs --This is based on looks, if you want to drift your car around or hit the tracks I suggest you get coilovers instead. This will give your car a more aggressive look.-- ($120-170)

-Window Tint --This is optional and it really depends on the person. I personaly like a little tint on the sides and the rear. Adds a little style to the car and gives it a cleaner look ($60-100)

i'll post more things in time if you want. to me this is basic looks-wise and is fairly cheap

 

I would try to peice togehter the s13 front conversion as far as looks go. Then work on the basics such as a cat back exhaust, springs/coil-overs/wheels, etc.

 

Heyy thx for all your guys opinion, s14ninja id love it if you can post more, going to performance shop tomorrow and imma see what i can do, more opininos the better, you guys are awesome thx for spending your time here , this forum rockss anything bout the color you think, decals, vinyls, maybe paint the spoiler tell me what you think what color becuase im painting everything tomoroww soo id be very helpful

 

No, decals, vinyls, or paint the spoiler leave the car the way it is!!!! Color is fine and will look pimp with s13 coversion. Save your money for an exhaust it provides a new look, more performance and many are compatabile with the ka nad sr engine.

 

Build tha ulimate sleeper. A buddy of mine has a 240 like that, he put a SR20 in it, Greddy exhaust and all this other crap. I have to say it aint the prettiest thing rite now, but it sure as hell is fast. Personally I like stock OEM/JDM body parts. Body kits are a lil to flashy for me. And it grabs alot of attention( u might get ur car broken into) But do wat ever u want, cause its ur car. Have fun with it!

 

yeh leave the color the way it is, looks fine to me.

NO decals(racing stripes and such)

Just save your money for the Silvia conversion and then worry about springs/coilovers, exhaust, etc.
