This car is now SOLD! It was an amazing car while it lasted and hopefully it's been given a good home. I just purchased a 1997 Nissan 240SX. Black, 5speed, loaded. Here's a pic of me at the track breaking her in, check out my shop's website for more! . Mean Street Speed and Custom

The car you are looking at is my 1990 Nissan 240sx, or "180sx". This car started out as a filthy automatic with a blown SOHC KA motor but over the past year I have given it a full make-over. It was factory red when I got it but I soon found out that red attracted way too much attention from police, so I painted it Porsche Night Blue Effect. It looks black at night and dark metallic blue in the light. SO sexy.
Pictured below is the car after my first mod, coil-overs, and in its current state:

thedarkslide's 1990 Nissan 240SX and.... thedarkslide's 1990 Nissan 240SX

my list of modifications so far is over fifty, some of my favorites are my A'PEXi N1 dual exhaust, GReddy Type-r blow off valve, and my new paint job. My car looks fairly stock from the outside, but that is the look Im going for. I could have easily done full aero, Silvia front end, and all the show car audio and neon trash, but I'd rather spend my money on performance. My car has never set foot into a shop for work or modification, and I work hard for the cash to build my car up. Many of my friends drive 240's and with our combined knowledge and skills I doubt my car will ever see a shop again. This is my seventh car and is by far the most fun car I've ever driven. Even with just suspension mod's this car was a blast to drive, and now with the SR20DET powerplant we swapped in its absolutly insane! Here are some pictures, and check back frequently for additions to the page.

*UPDATE: now running 13.5 PSI with install of my new boost controller! WAY faster now :) pics up soon*
