Toby Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'm not big on "80's" interiors. But that doesn't look too bad. The window/greenhouse on that looks really tall. If it was a little sleeker I'd like it more. But it's not bad looking. Guess cause I don't see these too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) car is a 90 but the sport seats would have been found in a 88 sentra hatchback, a lot better than how it was when I got it, here's a couple pics for comparison: right after I bought it for $580!! stock interior it was supposed to be a temp vehicle as I was getting rid of my 2001 dakota 4x4 (that replaced my 87 Hardbody 4x4, mistake that was!!!), I needed to find a car in 2 days to get to work and I limited my search to Nissan's cause that's what I like and am familiar with. The sentra was to be just a car to drive until I found another Nissan 4x4 pickup but couldn't find the one I wanted reasonably priced, just recently got my 94 pathfinder from a co-worker, it needed an engine and also got it for $500.

Tungsten Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 that is nice please don't add a wing to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) the only wing I actually like is a BMW style like this one, but with just getting my 94 pathfinder it's not in the budget as all extra funds are going into the pathfinder: it's a good little car (it's a Nissan after all !!), I drive fast(for a 90HP sentra, lol), beat the hell out of it, the short throw shifter, upgraded sway bars with urethane bushings, (hell it didn't even have a front sway bar when I bought it that's how basic it was), plus 2 upgrade on the wheels and tires, still return 31 MPG and it has 218K miles on the original engine!! Just have to install the lowering coils I bought for it 2 years ago and get some new struts. I got a K&N Apollo cold air filter kit for it a few x-mas's ago but haven't installed yet, it might find it's way on to the pathfinder.

Kingman Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 2 precision power (old school) amps HELL YES! I love these old PP amps, arguably THE BEST amps produced, best of all they are made in the USA. You really can't beat them, nothing produced nowadays can come close to the quality of these units.

ahardb0dy Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 the amp on the left is a 2200 I bought new in 91, had it updated once by PPI, it is a dual mono design 200 x 2 and powers my 2 -12's, the amp on the right I bought off e-bay a few years ago, it is one of the rarer one's which has the digital crossover built in with 2 presets that is controlled by a separate controller which connects to the amp thru a fiber optic cable, (no noise), kind of ahead of their time for when it was introduced. The problem for me was finding the controller which took over a year, than having fiber optic cables made up. the right amp is 50x2 and 75x2, model 5075dx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Nice little ride! And it's a manual. Only 90HP but more than enough to move such a compact car. A turbo could go a long way... *nudge-nudge* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlFairweather Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The inside almost looks liks the one in the 88 Subaru I had. I wouldn't mind putting an air horn on my Pathy, did you make that air system yourself? That looks like a Craftsman air tank lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 yes it's a craftsman air tank, I had a smaller tank that a friend welded up for me, (pc. of steam pipe with ends welded on it), but a coworker gave me a gift card for sears so I bought that tank. I installed the air horns and system myself, I'm using a compressor I got from the junk yard, they are found in GM cars that have factory rear leveling shocks, cheap and plentiful, down here about $26, the tubing I got from the local Mack truck dealer, the fittings are available everywhere, only thing you really have to buy is the electric solenoid (valve), a tank, and the horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have to put that stuff down on my Junkyard list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 it all depends on what you buy and how you want to set them up, regular air horn kits consist of a compressor with a pressure switch that lets the compressor turn on when the tank pressure drops to a set pressure than shuts it off when it reaches a set pressure, a tank, a horn, tubing, fittings an air gauge and depending on if you want manual control the kit may have a pull chain type valve ( only good if the horn is on the roof), or an electric solenoid if you want to be able to blow thge horn using the stock horn button or a separate push button. I don't have the pressure switch so I have to turn the compressor on and off when the tank needs more pressure, I have my compressor wired using 2 separate relays inline, these compressors from the GM cars (also available in some ford cars but have no experience, using them) have a vent feature which when installed in the car with rear leveling shocks allow the compressor to lose pressure when the load is removed from the trunk.
