My 95 S14 Build Thread

Picked up a 95 240sx the day before Christmas for my daily, but after lurking the forum for a while I decided I couldn't keep this car stock.
I was always a big fan of this body style and always wanted to own one.

I’m new to this part of the world so any help would be greatly appreciate!

I plan to do engine last, dropped off the car at the shop last week for a full paint job and color change.

Items i already bought for the car:
NRG steering wheel, quick release and hub
NRG bucket seats
Corbeau Harness belts
Emusa tower floor chassis brace
Harness Bars
Circuit sports corner lamps
Nismo License plate
Nismo Oil cap
M2 short shifter
Philips LED Taillights
Nismo shift knob
Oem Radio Bezel and shift boot
JDM cluster
Pacesetter long tube headers
Megan racing catback exhaust
Cosmis wheels

Will update thread with more pics during the week

Are you going to keep it as a Zenki or do a Kouki conversion on it?

Make an Imgur account instead. Photobucket is outdated, unreliable, and slow.

PB works just fine... They just did a dumb thing with their autocopy code. Don't use the IMG one they list. Autocopy the direct, and use the image button on here.

Not much progress since last update, front fenders should be done today and painting should start by the end of the week.

I was also never a fan of buying from the vendors on forums and i did...i'm really disappointed with a few of them wont call any names but definitely wont be getting my money again.

Still waiting on my body kit, will post some more pics in the week of the front fenders.

Some small parts came in today...Ash Tray, Pocket Din and Front and Rear Sway Bar Links
