That’s awesome man, if you ever wondered what Nissan is going to do with your car of they ever bought it is they’ll have it in the “ lane museum” here in Nashville, Tennessee. I work down the street from Nissan HQ at a Nissan dealership. They have a underground garage where they keep other cars that aren’t parked in the museum I’ve been poking around trying to get access to see all the cool stuff they got. They recently bought a mint fastback like yours from a corporate employee Last edited by MR.RMSCHIKO; 03-09-2020 at 09:49 AM.. |

How long have you worked there? Is the Lane Museum like the collection here in Zama?

Bought this car from the original owner with 170k miles. Bone stock original five speed. Uncracked dash Georgia car that belonged to an older gentleman. Brought it home and threw in Kouki 180sx front and rear seats, a new perforated Nardi 330, and an old logo Nismo knob and drove it all summer.
Currently doing a full restoration and installing my decent collection of Nismo/OEM items. Plans include a refreshed ka24de, suspension rebuild, and the installation of the rest of my Kouki 180sx aero. I plan to make a build thread now that I have more free time being at home in lockdown. Really enjoyed reading this thread and thought I would share my gem. Hope to have some interesting OEM+ approved photos for you all next time around. I enjoy film photography, so here are some photos I took after a few weeks with the car. |

This is an old hatch I owned around 2009~.
1990 S13 SE A/T with 60k There was several items that needed attention. Worn paint, broken hood hinges (no, I'm not into hood risers), typical rusted hatch lid, pea-shooter aftermarket exhaust, etc. I bought a donor car in the same color and swapped hoods with it, swapped the hatch lid, replaced the pea-shooter exhaust with an OEM unit, and did some minor upgrades on both the exterior, interior, and suspension. Added OEM 180sx wheels, OEM mudguards and 50/50's for that extra OEM+. Lowered on JIC FLT-A2's, OEM Kouki 180sx seats, 180sx floor mats, Nardi deep corn. One of the few S-chassis I legitimately regret having sold. |

After a total rebuild (except engine and box) this S14 had her first spin around the block today. Still lots to do, ride heights obviously lols, but she is getting there!
It was amazing, raw and tactile, just like an S car should be! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

R33 wheels with a 10mm spacer should be okay. I could be wrong. I had brake clearance issues on my 180SX.

If you look through the detailed pictures, there's several issues that stand out to me.
1. It has definitely been repainted, and poorly at that. It seems as though they didn't bother removing the factory black trim line / tape during the respray. Notice the paint lifting above and below the black line and near the fuel lid door. 2. Normal 30+ year old wear for a car parked outdoors. The usual exterior rubber moldings/trim are showing their age and would eventually need to be replaced. A complete glass-out respray along with seals/moldings/trim replacement will easily cost $5k+ depending on who paints it. 3. Interior trim pieces need to be restored/replaced. This one is me really nitpicking, but still something I'd have to do if I'm going for that "mint" look. 4. One of the least desirable models (again, IMO). SOHC, Auto, and sunroof. The first two can be addressed rather easily, but the third not so much. I've owned far too many of these to know the sunroofs are just ticking time bombs. It's only a matter of time before the assembly goes bad or the roof starts to leak. It's a good looking car overall. Is it worth the $10k+ hype people were posting about on the Facebook groups calling this a museum piece? That's a no for me. Having owned plenty of completely stock/original and modified Coupes, the nostalgia wears off quickly and you're reminded of every single reason why you began to upgrade the suspension, brakes, and interior in the first place. If I were in the market for a good base platform to build and was okay with paying a premium, I'd pay $5k max for it. I think people on the Facebook groups would really lose their shit if they saw the red hatch posted a few pages back. Now that's a museum piece that IMO would easily fetch over $20k to a car collector. |

Well I'll admit I only watched the video. Thanks for making this 'easier' to 'let go' lol.
I have to say: I have owned a coupe w/sunroof and multiple hatches w/sunroof and I have NEVER had any of them leak. I hear people say they are destined to fail all the time, though.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-nissan-240sx-9/ This one sold for $20k and it was one option away from the red Super-HICAS car. With more miles. I'd buy this S13 coupe if I actually got serious about selling my E39 540i. apparently my car is worth a lot on BaT.

I'm selling my car for a little bit more than that and it's a DE w/5MT swap. People are either overpricing their shit or undervaluing their shit. Never a happy medium.
