congrats on the purchase dave! I'm assuming that its a 5spd??? Good luck with it, and don't wreck it trying to drift or anything like that

HawtPants · 07-04-04, 07:11 PM

ya its a manual. drove it home from the seller's house and it died like 5 times

the problem with the car when i bought it was that the owner replaced the spark plug wires with non-oem wires and they didn't fit properly and there was a gap right where the wires come out of the valve cover. water got in and rusted out the spark plugs and it ran horribly. i pulled the sparkplugs out and they were super rusted and i was like

i replaced the spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, added some r-134a. now she purrrrs like a baby. my first mod is to get is smogged and registered

wish me luck

RicoD · 07-04-04, 07:24 PM

yea did swap it for the sr20

Sebring_S2k · 07-04-04, 08:11 PM

go sr20 and then s15 front end

whoaitslen2 · 07-04-04, 08:51 PM

Nice buy man. Go S-13 front and drive it off a cliff.

Rezza · 07-04-04, 08:51 PM

i hope the smog test goes good...good luck bro

ED9man · 07-04-04, 10:07 PM

SR20DET

Those cars look like so much fun, throttle mid-corner doesn't ruin everything.

Calilude · 07-05-04, 12:32 AM

How much did you get her for, looks good.

Early 90s Nissan Squad leader has to say this:

Nice find. You're lucky that venus is local to you. Us country ass midwest peeps have to order engines from either coast

. Keep us updated on your car man,

IMO s15 end looks weird on that body style (my friend did it and I didnt really like it)

but hey good find

**b00gers** · 07-05-04, 09:36 AM

good buy man

JoePoonani · 07-05-04, 11:10 AM

f*ck those little sr20's. get a RB26DETT!!!!

brtecson · 07-05-04, 11:14 AM

screw a rb. get a vg!

JoePoonani · 07-05-04, 11:17 AM

...or that.

HawtPants · 07-05-04, 12:27 PM

i might go with an sr20 or rb25 depending on what venus has in what condition. im leaning towards the rb cause once i get it theres no need to mod it since the engine is already super fast so that'll save me in the long run. if i get an sr i know ill have to upgrade the downpipe and turbo so that'll cost me as much as the rb eventually.

ED9man · 07-05-04, 02:17 PM

will the rb26 unbalance the car?

antarius · 07-05-04, 02:32 PM

I just can't become a 240SX swooner. It's like the AE86 to me. It's fine and dandy that it's all RWD and nifty and great for drifting or whatever; but it's still an old ugly car.

Just my 0.02

But, to each their own. Good luck on smog.

ED9man · 07-05-04, 02:35 PM

whats a good looking new car?

forum95 · 07-05-04, 02:36 PM

Sweet find for 500, good luck with smog and stuff, go with the s-13 front end

There's tons.
S2000, Z4, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, 20th AE GTI, Jetta GLI, 350z, G30 Coupe, etc. etc. etc.

HawtPants · 07-05-04, 03:00 PM

don't get me wrong, i love the look of newer cars. i'd rather be driving anyone of those cars you mentioned but its not gonna happen for a p0 college student. i actually want an s14 but im not payin 5000 for it.

heck...those flip lights are actually kinda cool and they're growin on me

antarius · 07-05-04, 03:06 PM

YEah man, im not tryin to rain on your parade.
Congrats on your car, and I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

It's just not my thing, that's all.
