Bought a 3rd gen... again

Just bought a low millage, Pearl 93 5spd (after my 4th gen. got totalled) to get me around and bring back some good memories... Knowing myself and realizing the potential of our cars I just couldn't keep it stock, so finally decided to start moding again.

Here are things hopefully getting done very soon.
Full Stillen Bodykit
Intrax Lowerig Springs / Tokico Shocks / FSTB
YPipe, intake and maybe UDP
Either 17", 11lbs JDM ADVANs or Hypersilver 18" HP EVO's, (can't decide which one, love em both).

Thanks Donald and everybody else in this forum for your valuable information, I couldn't do it this fast without your knowlege and experience.

my version of a hyperground kit.. that is made to actually fit the car- other than the $150 generic kits that are just a bunch of wires.

Don't forget about the catback exhaust. No sense in getting the intake if you don't have the exit pipes

Don't forget to clean the temperature sensor connector. I recently found that mine started to corrode again. Seeing how bad it was prompted me to chop the connector off and solder new terminals.

I plan to check the resistance of the temp sensor at the ecu, to see how bad the wire is, since it too is badly oxidizing!!

I love my max, I just wish nissan used a little more smarts when picking these connectors to use. You can't mix up metals that have a high enough chemical potential. They could have spent an extra 5 cents and gold plated them all. That way our knock sensor would have survived all these years!

Bimmer lights and smoked corners will finish it off. Then Greddy catback and WSP Y, UDP, CAI...and you are ready to enjoy the daily ride and get plenty of compliments.

Nice! Just not my personal choice of colors.
Do you sell rims as a business? or are just a bunch of used you've lying around?
