Are all those parts oem? If not, I'd stay away. You will have fitment issues

Na

I was thinking about getting a newer car for a while then said F it. I didn't wanna worry about making payments for 5yrs. You never know whats gonna happen. I rather wait and put a fat down payment and not pay much every month. So now im deciding to keep this car for at least another yr.

Luong - cardomain.com is your friend.

I dont know. I just bought a non-oem SI wing though.

A friend who's all into this JDM stuff told me there wasn't much of a difference. Only difference that he told me was that the OEM one saids Honda on it.

 

[luong1209]

For those who've shed some light, you have been most helpful.

 

[nyrican23]

If it's not oem, you will have fitment issues on some things. Also, the quality is not as good. Just think about it like sneakers. The OG jordans and it's durability and craftsmanship compared to the newer retroes

 What are the expenses after the turbo build?  Just regular oil change, tires, gas.  Anything else to look out for?

 

[dam itz lou]

nyrican, how much would i spend on a 99-00 OEM conversion ?

 

[nyrican23]

Klip- it depends on what kind of build your doing and your goal. Strer or track. If you do street, just regular synthetic oil changes(every 2k) and have some money for a tune. If you live in a hot area, turbo cars suck! If your doin track, your gonna need to slicks, track helmet, and money for track time.


Lou- it depends if you buy new or not. If you can find it local, expect to pay about $300-450. If you buy from a website, expect to pay $700-1,000. Your gonna need money to paint it too.

I'm definitely going to the "street" route, no track for me.  Paint my intercooler black while I'm at it when I do get the chance.  California is not a nice area for turbo cars, smog check

.  How often must you tune after the turbo build up?

 

[josebronx]

too much toys

posted, no nissans????

one thing tho, I hate the "sudden" fanboi change from honda to 240sx, atleast in south FL. Everybody wants to drift now

I got over 10k pics of nissan saved but these are the ones in my photobucket








































I planing to buy a 620 next year

$900

That's a third of what I bought the car for then paint on top of that. I might as well sell it and start over.

 

[bheights21]

old school datsun ftw

 

[damnitzdom]

where can i learn more about fixing cars!

 

[nyrican23]

I knew Jose would come in and show some Nissan love

Klip- passing emissions is tough. You only retune when you change, injectors, turn up boost, etc

 

[dyzzle]

every 2k change oil for a turbo car? and with synthetic oil already?

that's like every month almost
