how'd you get a 3 1/4" downpipe to go with a 4" exhaust, and dang 4" is big
all the s13's come with a black top even if the rest of the car isn't black, so did you have to do anything special to it so that you could paint that part or is it just the same as the rest of the car?

The black part on the 240's are big-ass stickers(I dunno what they are made out of)I peeled them of completely before I primered my car

Do you mean the trim along the lower half of the car? It peeled of mostly, rest had to be heat guned off.

took me 8 hours, and there's still some residue there that im too lazy to get off. i'm estimating another 5 hours to clean it completely off.
its worth it. use your hands (yes they will start bleeding after about 3 hours), and a lot of wd-40. the middle parts come off fine but what really takes the time to get that trim off is the front and black, since it's on plastic.

Whats circled in the attachment is what I took off so I can paint it to match the rest of the top.To get it completely off you have to take off other stuff too.

How does it feel? Tell you what, this is how I explain it to my friends just before I take them on a hell-bent ride. Taking a rollercoaster ride, take off is just like that. You get going (the ride up the hill), and then the turbo spools up and wham! (you peak over the top and wheeeeee! down you go with that gut thrill feeling!) Being a passenger it throws you back in your seat getting that gut thrill yet another time spooling thru second gear, then another thru third. You get the feeling of HELL YEA!!:ylsuper:
That about sums it up...
Any more questions?

Thank you for the complements. So, far I browse thru several boards. This one and cardomain ofcourse, also NICO and nissan forums.
Are there more sites of interest I might want to look into?
