Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about where I stand with my car and get some suggestions. I am a 16 yr. old sophmore in high school and just got my first car. It is a 1990 Nissan 240SX hatchback. It is currently completely stock but needs work to even be up to par. Here are the things it needs first.

-brake job-it needs new rotors, calipers, pads, etc.(should I ahead and upgrade them and what is the cost difference between upgraded and stock replacement)
-electrical work for windows
-new tint
-new interior(thinking about some 4pt. harnesses)
-paint job
-stereo overhaul(needs new everything)

Ok, so those are things it needs first, if anyone could give me an estimate on what all this will probably cost that would be awesome. I am then planning on doing an engine swap, if anyone has any suggestions on that, that would be cool too. Also, if anyone has any suggestions on other things to put on/in it than let me know.

Once again, just wanted to introduce myself and let ya know what I have in mind and plan on doing. I will keep you guys posted on how everything is going and will get pictures ASAP so you guys can see what I am working with.

Welcome to the forums

Before you get answers to your questions it will help a little if you let us know what your going to be using the car for so we konw what to base answers off of.

 

Oh yeah that would help wouldn't it. Just got caught up too much in the length of the first post that I forgot. Anyways the answer to your question is drifting. There is a drift track nearby my house and me and a couple friends are just getting really into it. So yea drifting.

 

If its going to be occasional drifting with everday driving upgrading a bit may be nice. You could just go with better rotors, pads, and SS brake lines. Also you could get something like dual piston J30 calipers, rotors, pads, and SS lines, or you could do the 300zx front brake swap. If yo u go either J30 or 300zx you will need to get the caliper's redrilled for 4-lug. Personally I would probably just go for better rotors, pads, and SS brake lines, with some good fluid to start with.
