Just picked up my first 240

Sup everybody, my name is Jim from Columbus, Ohio and I just picked up my first 240 yesterday. It's a grey 92 coupe with 124k miles, stickshift, zero rust. I'll post up a few pics as soon as I get around to it.

Here are my plans for it:
Tein basic dampers (need to be able to raise the car back up for Ohio winters, but don't feel like messing with strut bound/rebound)
Tein strut tower bar
Rims
3" Exhaust
SR20 swap (or possibly RB25) w/ FMIC and Koyo radiator setup
Disco Potato
LSD
s13.5 conversion?

I'm new to the whole Nissan scene - I've owned Hondas and Mitsubishis for years. Not into the whole drifting thing but that could change. I plan to use it as a daily driver and occasional track days and autocross events.

p.s. can anyone reccomend a good exhaust? I want something that doesn't look or sound ricey and not over $500

Thanks!

well luckily with nissan motors our tone is just naturally lower than Honda.

im not honestly fond of any exhaust setups becuase i have always welded my own.

others will chime in..

My ebay exhaust sounds really good for 200 bucks.

And contrary to popular belief not all 240 owners are into drifting, so dont worry if grip driving is your thing

Get yourself some S14 seats. Cheap, direct bolt in, and comfy as *****.
